Ashley's pov
"Hurry the fuck up! We are gonna be late you know," Aaron says from the other end of the line, cutting it.
It's Monday now, the weekend flew past so quickly and I honestly i am so happy it did.
School is peaceful, a different kind but its much better then staying home.
During days when I have free time, I head to the library, pick out a book and start reading till closing hour.
I've always dreamed of being an author. Why? I don't know.
I guess maybe it's because when people are reading, they are so far away from reality and for one moment they can have an escape, an outlet from this shitty world. I guess I wanna be able to give people that, an outlet.
I finish straightening my hair, and rush downstairs.
"Heyy sorryyy, you see.. I overslept.." I scratch the back of my head.
"It's fine now get in."

"Aaron! Where the fuck are you? We have science together," I say, looking around the hallway.
I finally spot Aaron, and he is at his locker, taking his books out.
I rush over to him to scare him.
"Boo!" I attempt to scare him which fails miserably.
"Oh my god Ashley I'm so scared, as if I didn't see you all the way across the hallway already," He says sarcastically.
"Shut up," I say.
Just as he is about to close his locker, my eye catches on something.
"Wait!" I say and he immediately stops.
He opens it back up and there it is.
No fucking way.
"You actually stuck it?" I say staring at the drawing Aubrey made.
"Yes.. I said I would, didn't I?" He says.
"Yeah, but I thought it was just to please your sister. I didn't think you would actually do it."
"Yeah, well I did. Now let's go to class," He says shutting the locker and dragging me away.
"Why do you have to be aggressive all the time?" I ask annoyed.
"Oh, I can show you real aggressive," He let's out a breathless laugh.
"Ew no thank you. I'd much rather not be one of your one night stands."
"The way I could be thinking about millions of things but your mind went directly to that," He shakes his head.
"Yeah well that's what you were thinking of so.."
We stop talking as we have reached class. We make our way to the complete back and settle down.
"Hello class," Mrs Smith says expecting an answer but gets none.
"Okay... um today we are going to be doing an experiment. Buckle up because you kids, are gonna be parents for the next few days," She smirks.
"Oh for fucks sake, I hate babies, all they do is cry," Aaron groans.
"It's okay," I rub my hand on his back sympathetically.
"Alright, pairings."
"First up, Aurora and Luke."
"Brooklyn and Ben."
"Bethany and Frederick.
"Abbey and Sky."
"Aaron and Olivia."
"And.. Ashley and Trent."
"Oh hell nah," Aaron says.
"Oh my god! It's like we are destined for eachother Aaron, if you want we could make an actual child. I don't mind," Olivia announces to the whole fucking class.
"Actually on second thought, Ashley and Olivia, switch partners please." Mrs Smith says uncomfortably.
Oh thank god.
No offence but Trent is honestly a weirdo. He always has a sausage or a carrot or something weird in his hand. And he stares at me like a fucking creep.
"Well hello there the mother of my child." Aaron says reaching out for my hand.
"No," I say.
"Okay, boy or girl?" He asks.
"Boy for sure, as much as I'm all for feminism, boys are much less drama," I say.
"Yeah, well I dont think you can say the same for a fucking robot but hey, it's the thought that counts," He smiles.
Mrs Smith walks up to us and just as I'd hoped, places a baby boy in front of us.
I have a smile on my face which quickly falters as I scan the boy.
"Well I was definitely not expecting to see a baby's dick," I point out.
Aaron just looks as me as if I'm the dumbest human he had ever seen.
"Yeah same, I actually expected to see a vagina but oh well," He says sarcastically.
I scoff at his comment.
"Well what are we naming him?" I ask.
"Dickons Dick," Aaron smirks.
J give him a dumbfounded look.
"Whaat? It's the first thing you noticed about him and as the saying goes, whatever you see first in your child, name him that," He says.
"Shut up, you just completely made that up. And no we are not naming our child Dicksons Dick, what are you, 10?"
"Alright alright, I can already see mommy's getting angry."
"You did not just call me mommy."
"I'm sorry that was disgusting, I will never call you that again," He says with his cheeks pink.
"For real what are we gonna na-" Aaron gets cut off by the baby crying.
"Listen you little shit, unless you wanna be nameless, shut the fuck up," Aaron says the to the poor child.
"Woww you are a great father," I say sarcastically.
I take the child into my arms and start humming to quiet it down as we haven't gotten the baby bottle yet.
We were given a list of supplies and where to get them from by Mrs Smith for the baby.
Surprisingly humming worked and it quieted down.
"Holy fuck you are some sort of witch, how the hell did you do that?"
"Magic," I say, the same tone as Mr Bean.
If you know, you know.
"How about we name him Eli? It's a cute name and he just gives me those vibes ya know?"
"Alright... but I get to name his middle name." Aaron says.
"Okay, it's only fair." I sigh.
"Bob," Aaron says.
My jaw falls to the floor.
"No!"
"What? It's a good name.."
"Absolutely not! I don't fucking care. We are not naming our child's middle name Bob," i say.
"Okay okay then... Adolf."
"Okay now atleast that one is bearable to hear.. Eli Adolf.. doesn't rhyme well but its the best we will agree on." I say.
He nods in agreement.
The bell rings releasing us for lunch.
"Let's goo!" I say dragging Aaron.
The second we step into the Lunch room I immediately wish we didn't.
The whole room is filled with babies crying. And I mean the whole of it.
I guess today's main project was Babies for every class.
I think Eli here is the only child that isn't crying.
"Hey guys, let's ask Ashley how she made her child quiet!" One dude says pointing at me.
Trent.
See I knew he is a total fucking weirdo.
That has now changed because of the millions of other shits crying causing my child to cry.
"Ashley, run." Aaron warns.
I hand him Eli, and I turn to run out of the cafeteria but the newly birthed mom's reach to me before I could reach the door.
"How did you make it stop?"
"What did you do?"
"Are you using some sort of magic?
Bla bla bla.
Everyone is swarming me asking the same fucking question causing the whole room to be filled with noise.
"You wanna know how I made it quiet?" I ask.
Everyone nods their head immediately.
I point to the window on the other side of the room, "Look there and you will find your answer."
All heads spinned towards the direction I was pointing to and I took this opportunity and dipped.
I ran for my life away from the cafeteria with Aaron running closely behind.
"Slow down, you are gonna drop the baby," Aaron says.
"The baby is with you dipshit," I say.
"Um no it isn't, stop playing." He says stopping.
"I'm not playing Aaron. Please tell me you did not leave our poor child in that hellhole," I pray.
"I thought you had it!"
"I literally gave it to you right before everyone started ganging up on me."
"Oh shit," He smiles nervously.
"Our poor child.. he is probably crushed by those filthy shoes. If it dies, it is completely on you," I say.
"We will just go get it.. when lunch is over."
"Yeah, which is in about an hour, just enough time for our baby to die!" I exclaim.
"Pff, I'm sure it will be fine," He says flipping me off.
Yep, suree.
***
"The hallway is clear," Aaron whispers to me.
"If its clear why are you whispering Aaron?" I ask genuinely concerned.
Not for him, no. For his brain.
If he even has one.
"It's like we are in a spy movie ya know, just setting the mood in."
"Aaron, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like we are in a spy movie. We aren't. Our child could be dead right now," I throw my hands up in the air.
"Right, yeah. Let's go." He says slowly tip toeing into the school.
I slap my hand on my head and rush past him.
I peep into the cafeteria and see that no one is there.
I take that as my chance to look around for the baby.
We were right at the door when the Chaos happened so the baby must be somewhere around... there!
Found you, dipshit.
I run towards it and check to see if its dead.
Thankfully, it isn't.
I grab it and it starts crying. I do my trick and in a matter of seconds, it's quiet.
I go back to the hallway I came from and see Aaron doing a somersault.
"What the fuck Aaron? Are you okay? Like mentally okay?" I question.
"I didn't wanna take the risk of anyone seeing me," He tries to defend himself yet by the look on his face, he knows it himself that it was childish.
"Whatever, I got Eli, now let's go to the store to buy its necessities."
"Yes ma'am," He says, getting up from the floor.
He is weird, in a way, but for sure my kinda weird.
