Baby Duty

Chapter 1: Friends

Skylar's Pov:

I quickly put my reports inside my backpack. Today being a Monday, I tied my hair in a quick pony tail making sure no fly aways were sticking out. I had already eaten breakfast and was just waiting for my mom to come down stairs and take me to school. she said she'd be right back as she went to go change her blazer to match her skirt. Apparently my mom had an important meeting, I was in no rush to go to school I was already late anyways. I would have been on time if I hadn't pointed out that my moms blazer was darker then her skirt and then she went on and on about how she is suppose to looks presentable and professional and all this junk so she just had to change.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry I'm ready" my mom ran down the stairs quickly grabbing her brief case. I headed out the house, my mom followed closing the front door. I went up to the car shaking the handle impatiently. The door unlocked and I slammed it shut.

"Watch it with my car young lady" my mom said as she got in " its going to be yours in the future" I looked inside the small Mercedes.

"Drivings a lot of work" I said

"That's why you study the pamphlet I gave you" I sighed.

We reached my school. I grabbed my bag and opened the door " your brother is going to pick you up after school look for him and have a good day" I closed the door. Walking up to the office entrance a few other late kids. The office lady gave me a slip and I walked to first period. At school it was different I was a lot more quieter and chose to stay out of trouble. I wasn't a teachers pet that's for sure but most people thought of me as the goody too shoes. I didn't care since my best friend and any other person close to me knew I was the total opposite and besides that was just the dumb popular kids who thought that and it's okay because I think they're all horny apes. I reached my first period knocking on the door.

"Ah Skylar so nice of you to join us" my English teacher said. I took my usual seat in the middle. "okay class after you finish writing down your vocabulary start your poems warm up" I took out my notebook and pencil "oh and before I forget take out your book reports"

"Hey sky" my bestfriend Mia said as we walked to our next class.

"Hi Mia"

"So how's a going"

"Good I'm a little hot but good"

"Oh but that's a good thing because the weather is changing and I can wear all my cute spring/summer clothes" I smiled taking my seat. I watched Mia's eyes travel to Liam my partner. They had this thing going on.

"Hey sky" Liam said taking off his messenger bag

"Hey liam"

"Hey our project wasn't due right?"

"What project?"

"The poster, power point shit"

"Ohh no that's next week"

"Phew" Liam's sighed noticing Mia "hi Mia" he chimed

"Hi Liam" she smiled looking down at her notes. I shook my head smiling paying attention to the front board. Mr. Brooks instructed us to do some boring questions, I'm just glad it wasn't his usual notes.

"Did you hear about the play later on"

"How could I not I'm in the class" I

laughed

"Oh so you're going"

"I kinda have to" I scribbled my name on my piece of paper.

"Are you nervous?"

"Why sudden interest"

"I dunno I thought it would be pretty cool to join"

"It's hard work I'll tell you that but anyways how's football" Liam's part of our schools football team along with the other jocks and all but Liam is cool and hangs out with whoever and is down to earth and that's what makes him different from all the other morons.

"It's good also hard work" he smiled. The bell rang and we had just another class before lunch. I said my goodbyes to Liam and Mia heading to my child development class. I entered the class turning in an essay to the black basket on Mrs. Clarkson's desk. For this class we were in partners according to the opposite gender. It sucked because my partner was Louis. I don't purposely hate the guy, he's just made me dislike him throughout the years. He's lived on my street since when I was little and our moms are good friends. Louis and I grew apart in middle school as he wanted to be with the more prettier looking girls and took interest in other things teenage boys would. He soon changed and became a jerk, he's rude and mean to innocent kids just to fit in with his crowd of friends even to me... an old friend.

"Hi" he breathed heavily and I knew he had just been eating faces with Rebecca. They always felt the need to do so by these sections of the school. I rolled my eyes crossing my hands across my chest not feeling the need to talk to him.

"Okay class simmer down" Mrs. Clarkson said. I took out a sheet of paper taking notes on child aid and safety.

Twenty minutes of class went by and I turned my attention to what Louis was doing. He seemed to be very focused in class which was a shocker. I expected this class to be fun but so far throughout the year we have been taking notes on everything you need to know about a child and parenthood, behavior, sickness and what certain things mean. The bell rang and I quickly headed to lunch.
