We all know of the baby project in health class. When you're given a fake baby and a partner to act as the daddy with you to act as the mommy.
"This baby project will be over the course of three months."
I want breadsticks.
"Now, you and your part...
I woke up to Sarah violently shaking my seat from behind. How did I get in the front?
"What do you want from McDonald's?" Sarah rushed out once she realized I was half awake.
"My usual," I replied groggily. Looking around I realized I was in the passenger's seat while Alessandro was driving, leaving Sarah and Ashton in the back.
"One ten piece nuggets with a large Dr. Pepper and large fries," Sarah spoke confidently.
"Alright, that'll be $30.75 at the second window." I jumped up almost hitting my head on the roof of the car.
"$30.75 for chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink?!!!" I voiced as Alessandro drove to the second window and pulled out his debit card.
"No." Sarah laughed almost dying in the backseat. "We ordered our own meals too." Oh.
"That's right. There are other people in the car." I sat down trying to put myself back together. I pulled down the mirror patting my hair down noticing a cowlick waving around in the wind. I rolled my window up hoping that would help with the awful wind ruining my hair.
We rode up and got all the food then parked. As soon as we parked, I passed out all the food.

We all set everything out and had our own little conversations. Ashton and Sarah talked about life after college and Alessandro and I just talked about the project.
"So since Sofia is with my mom and not with either of us will it effect out grade?" Alessandro was always one to never ask questions. This was just him trying to make the awkward situation less. It wasn't working.
"No, it shouldn't. Mrs. Hannigan wasn't clear that you had to have one of the partners with the baby. I think she just assumed." I replied stuffing a nugget in my mouth.
Alessandro's eyes widened when he realized my mouth had another one already in there. I started laughing at his innocent face. If he hasn't seen me eat like a pig he hasn't lived life.
"That was pretty amazing. I didn't even realize you had one already in your mouth. You talked so normally." His voice was full of astonishment.
He's still in love with me and I can tell because I'm still in love with him.
I smiled at him. His eyes twinkled as they smiled back.
I was so suddenly aware of the silence Sarah and Ashton were giving off.
I turned to them just in time to hear Sarah let out this tiny squeal and Ashton to awe at us.
There we go. A perfect moment ruined. I wish we could've stared into each other's eyes forever. Forgotten about everything else. As if we were the only two left in the world. I wouldn't mind repopulating it.
