     "Cassie! Get up your gonna be late!!" My older brother Josh yells. Josh is the oldest out of the four children my parents have. He's like the dad because dad is never here. Then there's Will. He's just like a normal guy I guess. And then there's Ryan. He's the one that's only a year older than me. "Ok!" I yell and get up. I get changed into a magenta tank top, blue high waisted jeans that are ripped at the knees, a brown booties. I put my hair up into a high ponytail and curl the ends. I put on natural makeup, a gold necklace with a rhinestoned gold hexagon, and a gold bracelet that says "I CAN AND I WILL". I quickly walk downstairs and brush my teeth after eating an apple. "Cassie! I made your lunch! It's on the counter! I'll be waiting in the car!!" Will says. Will is two years older than me and in his senior year, Ryan is in his junior year, and I am a sophomore. Josh is taking online classes while learning how to be the next ceo of my parents company. "Ok!!" I yell. I quickly grab everything I need, say bye to Josh and run out the door to the car.
We get to school and say bye to each other and go to our classrooms. I first head to my locker and grab everything I need. "Hey princess!" I hear. Oh great. No that's not my boyfriend. People mock me because my parents are rich. I roll my eyes and turn around to see Ryder Daniels, the jock, standing over me like Josh does when he's being protective. "Yes?" I ask not amused in the slightest. Most girls would be swooning. Not me. I mean yeah I like him who wouldn't but he has to much of an ego for it to ever happen. "What are you doing at my locker?! Baby." He says. I roll my eyes. "I'm at my locker and I'm not you're baby. Go find your side chick somewhere else!" I say and walk away. Ugh.
In class of course Ryder is the last person to class and of course the only seat empty is the one next to me. Ugh. Something feels wrong though. He walked in with some notebook of some sort. That's weird. "Hey princess. Looks like you can't escape me." He says and puts his arm around me. I roll my eyes and push his arm off. Wait a minute. That's my notebook. I've been missing it for weeks. Oh god! If he read that notebook I'm screwed! I write my deepest darkest secrets in there and a bunch of other things! Ugh! I'm so stupid! How could I have been so irresponsible and lose the one thing I shouldn't have lost! Great. "Alright class. We are going to be doing a project. It is going to be a long one so be prepared. It is worth 100% of your grade so if you don't do it then it looks like I'll be seeing you again next year. Since we have an equal number of boys and girls in this class, I am going to give you a partner. You are going to get married to that partner and answer a bunch of questions and such. Then you are going to pick out of a hat how many children you will have and you'll have to take care of that many robot babies. The babies look and act like real babies do. So don't go dropping them on their heads or anything like that." Mr. Marsdale says. Noooo! What the h e double hockey sticks. This is the weirdest project ever. I will take anyone as my partner except Ryder. I mean it would be really cute to see him acting like a dad to our baby girl or boy but that's not the point. "Ok so on to partners. As soon as I give you your partner you two have to start acting like a couple." He says. All the girls start getting really excited hoping they'll get Ryder. "Cassidy with Ryder." He says and hands us both a folder. Ok. Well my prayers didn't work. "Looks like we're getting married princess." He says and puts his arm around me. "Only cause we have to." I say and push his arm off me. "You heard what the teacher said. We have to act like a couple as soon as we get our partner." He says and puts his arm back around me. Dang it he's right. "Let's see what our folder says." He says and grabs the folder and opens it. "Looks like we're getting married on Friday. And I have to get you an engagement ring and propose tomorrow in front of people at school." He says. Just great. "Ok class. Your dress code for your marriage is that girls you have to wear a white dress, boys you have to wear a suit and tie." Mr. Marsdale says. Ok. Great. Wonderful. "I would like you to have vows, and wedding bands prepared for each other by the time of your wedding." Mr. Marsdale says. Ugh. Great. "Here are your questions. I want them answered by next Monday." Mr. Marsdale says handing everyone a packet.
     The bell finally rings and I quickly grab my stuff and get out of that class. Mr. Marsdale is in serious need of a relationship and children. Of course in gym we are starting our dancing unit too. This is just turning out to be the best quarter ever. Note the sarcasm.
School finally gets out and I quickly head to the car. Luckily I make it before the boys do so I get in the passenger seat. "Ok. Out. I get shotgun." Ryan says. "Nope. I got here first. I get shotgun!" I say. "She's right Ryan." Will says. "Ugh." Ryan says getting in the back. We get home and I run to the couch and throw myself on it. "Rough day?" Josh asks chuckling. "Yes! I got partnered with Ryder Daniels for a project that's worth 100% of our grade." I say. "Oh come on it can't be that bad." Will says. "The project is where we get married and then have to take care of a kid. Oh by the way I need to go shopping for a wedding band for him." I say. "Woah woah woah. Mr. Marsdale?" Ryan asks. "Yep." I say. "That guy is in serious need of a wife and children." Will says. "I had him and this project and he still isn't married. Goodness." Josh says. "Here just take my wedding band. It's not like I use it." Ryan says and hands his to me that he got during this project. "Ok." I say.
I decide to go to bed so I say goodnight at head upstairs to my room. I take off my makeup, put pajamas on and climb into bed.

The next day

I wake up and get dressed into a green shirt, blue high waisted jeans that are ripped at the knees, and tan booties. I leave my hair down and put on natural makeup. "Cassie! Your lunch is ready!" Ryan says. "Ok!" I yell down and grab my bag. I head downstairs grab my lunch and head to the car.
At school I head to my locker and grab my books. I then head to class and see Ryder on one knee by our desk. Oh great. He's proposing. "Cassidy Love Johnson. Will you marry me?" Ryder asks. "Yes." I say and he slips the ring on my finger. Simple. It's a really pretty ring and it looks really expensive oh my goodness. It's beautiful.

Woah
