that story..except everyone said i was great at writing those. is that to say i'm bad at writing
regulars? hmm whatever. as long as i'm good at something.

Caitie walked closely next to Val as they entered their Life Skills class. Val looked at the board,
which had the words 'Unit: Parenting' written boldly across the top. Val squealed happily. Caitie
shot her a look.
"What's the big deal?" Caitie asked as she slumped in a seat next to Val. Val smiled.
"It's learning how to be a good parent Caitie! It's fun!" Val gave Caitie a 'Duh!' look. Caitie
rolled her eyes.
"Like they can actually teach us to be good parents. Yeah right. Mrs. Hays will pass out a few
worksheets, we'll watch a few movies. It's boring, Val. Just plain old school work." Caitie smiled
as Jamie entered the room. A spotlight fell on him and he looked like he was the only one in the
room. Caitie shook the image away and looked back at Val, who was saying.
"...And maybe we'll get partners and maybe it'll be fun. You're always looking for the negative."
Val glanced at Tyler as he took his seat in front of her. Jamie plopped next to Caitie just in time
as the bell blared it's electronic RING throughout the halls and classrooms. Call had started.
Mrs. Hays stood in front of her desk, leaning back on it for support. She crossed her feet casually
at the ankles and smiled warmly at her class.
"Good Afternoon." Mrs. Hays smiled.
"Good Atfernoon." A few of Mrs. Hays 6th period students mumbled.
"Well as you read, we'll be starting our parenting unit. For today, I'm just going to pair up
partners and let you all work out some sort of schedule of who will have the baby when..." Val's
hand shot up into the air.
"Yes Val?" Mrs. Hays asked.
"What baby?"
"You all will be getting a little electonic baby to take care of for two weeks. It's basic. The baby
cries, you feed it, change it's diaper. You know..." Val's hand was up again.
"Change it's diaper?" She asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Something confusing about that?"
"No." Val answered quickly. It wasn't confusing just...unpleasant." Mrs. Hays walked across the
room and picked up a sheet of computer paper.
"I've taken this weekend to choose your spouses. This is final. I'm not changing anything for any
reason." Caitie looked over at the class dork, Josh. He was staring longingly at Val. Caitie
laughed and reached up to poke Jamie in the back. He spun around. She grinned and motioned toward
Josh. Jamie nodded. He smiled and turned back around. He stared at Mrs. Hays. He tried to see
what was written on the paper. He was hoping he was paired with who he wanted to be with.
"Okay here goes. Cythia Abbott, Ryan Taylor..." Tyler stopped listening for a minute. He turned
and looked at Val. She smiled. He returned it and turned around.
"Tyler Connell, Val Linear." Mrs. Hays called. Tyler looked over his shoulder and smiled. Val
grinned. Ahh she was with the wonderful Tyler. And Tyler couldn't have been happier either. Finally,
after Caitie and Jamie waited in antisipation (spelling) Mrs. Hays called out what both had been
longing to hear.
"Caitie Roth, Jamie Waite." Jamie smiled at Caitie. He pulled his desk around.
"Okay, let's get this schedule out of the way so we can talk or something." Jamie said, grabbing
a paper and a pen. Caitie's heart fluttered. Mrs. Hays smiled at her knowingly. So, Caitie thought
as Jamie began scribbling on the paper, Mrs. Hays was paying matchmaker. She looked down at Jamie
who was hunched over the paper and over at Val and Tyler, who were grinning at each other and writing.
Mrs. Hays couldn't have done a better job.
