The baby project

Chapter 1

The loud thuds traipsing along the corridor woke me. My little sisters, Tilly and Maddie, wake me up like this every morning. Just as I was getting out of bed, my alarm went off telling me it was 6:30 am.

I went downstairs and almost tripped on a bright blue hot wheels car " Tilly! I have your car." She has been looking for that all week. Obviously she didn't look hard enough. Or even at all. I strolled into the kitchen and drove it along the island to her.

My kitchen is fairly big and the island is the twin's favourite place to sit. They aren't allowed to sit on it but my mum doesn't like to deal with a tantrum every morning.

"Morning mum," I said as I walked past her to grab the milk from the fridge. She replied with "Morning darling. How did you sleep?" I shrugged my shoulders in response.

My mum has shiny long black hair that reaches the small of her back. Her emerald green eyes complement her pale skin. I always joke that she looks like maleficent 

I quickly ate my cereal and got dressed for school. The uniform was a plain white shirt and a plain black skirt with a black blazer that had the schools crest embroidered on the breast pocket.

Today was very important. Today is the start of the baby project. Many of the girls in my class are excited but I'm just worried I'm going to get a shitty partner and fail the class.

Basically you have a bag of flour and you put a face on it and give it a name.you have until the term is over to not destroy the bag of flour. You have to make sure it doesn't "die" ( the bag doesn't rip).

I grab my rucksack and run down the stairs were my mum and the twins are waiting. my mum is a nurse and she has to be at work by 8 o'clock (that's why I wake up so early). Our school is on route to her work so she drops me and my sisters off at school. Their primary school is across the road from my secondary school.

I'm 16 and the twins are 5. My gran helped out my mum raising the baby's when they were little because my dad was very sick.

It only takes 20 minutes to get to school and it's only half-past seven then anyway so I was in no rush to leave the warmth of my mums car.

My friends Cary and Ella were waiting for me by the gate. Ella was to busy texting her girlfriend Megan to even realise I was there until Cary said,
"Hey, Dani!"
"Hey, Cary. Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good. You?"
" I'm a bit nervous actually because of the baby project. I don't want to get a crap partner."
"Me too but I'm sure it will be fine. Won't it Ella?"
"Yeah." She said still looking at her phone.

We walked into the first period with our heads held high but inside I was dreading the next five hours until I find out my partner for the baby project.
