Author's note.... So while I was writing this chapter I caught myself singing the max and ruby theme song from tree house... There I realized that Max and ruby are the main characters. And then I was like no no no this cannot happen. So I am now changing Ruby to Iris. Sorry for any inconvenience. Now on with the chapter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as I walked through the class door, many pairs of eyes followed in my direction. Shaking off the attention, I walked straight to the back of the class choosing my seat wisely. Once I have, I looked down at the wide eyed student.

"This is my seat" I spoke lowly, only audible for the person sitting in the chair.

The boy with the freaky black hair nodded quickly, scampering off with apologies before finding a new seat.

I sighted in relief and sat down. My seat was far in the back and the only seat who didn't have a partner.

I saw Max and the teacher walk through the door, whispering to each other. Max was the one talking while the teacher nodded wit each word. Geez this teacher already gives me the creeps.

"You can take your seat now Max" the teacher announced. Max nodded and took a seat in the front. Classic nerd boy, no wonder he got beat up. Pathetic.

The teacher placed her books on her desk. Making a plumping noise that echoed the class. Many students were anxious of what we will be learning as its the first day. What is wrong with these people? I can take a snooze right about now.

"I believe we have a new student" she spoke. The teacher wore a long summer dress of the colour blue. Her hair was long, wavy brown. That complemented her radiant brown eyes.

Her eyes met mine, which she let out a smile. In response I released a snarled. Which took her back a few notches. "I believe that's true" I spoke. The class all turned their heads towards my direction, instantly recognizing me as the girl who beat up another dude. Who was already involved in a fight.. Huh that's confusing.

She shook off my snarl and continued to smile "How about your name?" She offered.

I continued to stay in my seat. Not bothering to stand up for a useless introduction.

"Iris Smith" honestly I hated my last name smith. It was so stupid as it was so common. But I was given the name so I can't change it. Lucky me.

"Iris smith" the teacher nodded "My name is Miss Reed" she introduced herself. Her name kinda sounded familiar but it's not like I cared so I nodded in confirmation and went back to picking at my nails. However, the teacher didn't understand that the conversation was over.

Miss Reed stood up from her desk and came closer to the class "Iris, have you ever went to a grade school here before." The answer was yes. But I wouldn't tell her that.

"Perhaps" I responded. Okay well maybe I just told her but I'm wondering where this is going.

"Well" miss Reed began "I used to teach in a grade school and in my class there was an Iris smith, she was a delighted girl. Always kind to others and especially to her best friend. She was so sweet, that little girl. Does that sound familiar to you Iris?" The class turned around to me once again, taking in my looks and indeed recognizing me from when I was a little girl. Many to say we're quite shocked that little Iris turned into what left sitting here now.

I sat up straight in my seat, starring at the teacher head on "I'm sorry to break it to you Miss. But that little Iris is long gone. Now if you can start the lesson that would be great. Because I believe this is health class, not history."

Miss Reed stood with shock, her jaw was dropped practically on the floor. Closing her jaw, she stood to get a class list and began explaining what we need to do.

"Alright well.. This is Health class as Iris so nicely imputed. Since last year you learned of sex Ed. This is further in the unit but with raising a child." I'd rather history more than what's to come now. "This is too show of what's the possibility that can happen when having sex at a young age" kill me now "So this project, that will last the next two months, Is the baby project. Students will be paired in two and will receive a baby. Don't worry it's fake. This baby, however, acts like a real one, you will need to feed it, change its diaper, put it to bed and follow all its needs. Just as a real baby. Inside the baby is a sensor, it will sensor anything that is done wrong, which will lead to points taking off of your mark"

Most of the guys groaned in the class while all the girls looked pretty happy. Only because they knew they would be paired up with a guy. I however, am not too thrilled. I hate babies.

Miss Reed began reading the list of names until she got to mine "And lastly Iris and max"

Everyone quickly got with their pairs. Except max who was taking his sweet time. He was getting closer to my desk when he got tripped by a jock. The jock began to laugh as max scrambled to pick up his things. Finally he made it to my desk.

"Took you long enough" I noted as he took out the sheets we need to fill for our plans.

"I'm sorry your highness" his voice dreaded with sarcasm. Instead of being mad of his attitude, it actually made me smile. Looks like my smile caught him off guard because he began to stare. Now he ruined it.

"So what are we going to do?" He asked getting ready to write any information down.

I shrugged "Does it look like I would know? In reality I'm the women meaning I would just give birth to that thing. So imagine me in pain and in exhaustion. You're the man you need to set a plan." Hopefully my little speech would work because I didn't want to do any of the work.

"Oh"

"Yes oh"

"Ok well, I guess you can come to my house" he suggested, I took it under consideration and agreed.

I spoke before I could register, and bite my tongue. "Is aunt Jackie going to be there?"

I grabbed Max's hand and led him into his own house. Aunt Jackie stood there holding a plate of cookies. Chocolate chip my favourite.

"Want some cookie Max and Iris?" She asked, delighting us with her charming smile. I nodded quickly and grabbed a handful of cookies. Aunt Jackie was Max's mommy and also my mommy's best friend. That's how max and I met, because both of our moms were really close.

Max smile was the biggest smile I had seen, which was accompanied by a chuckle "Yes aunt Jackie will be there"

"How about her cookies?"
