As school finished, I tried to avoid Lucas as much as possible, whenever I saw him coming, I would open a random locker and hide my face in it, I didn't want to think about us being partnered up for marriage even if it was just pretend.
It was bad enough, Missy had taunted me the whole of lunch and threatened to get me into huge trouble if I didn't swop with her, I really wanted to swop with Missy but Lucas had begged me and although I despised him, Riley would be upset and Riley meant the world to me.
I peered around and noticed that I was the only one in the hallways so I made a run for it before Lucas could appear, to my dismay, I bumped into the boy I had been running from, Lucas.
"Hey...wifey," Lucas joked.
"Hey... Can you move?" I replied, noticing a teacher nearby.
"That isn't a very nice way to talk to your husband, now, is it?" Lucas laughed.
I clenched my fists. "Will you shut up? Your lucky that I'm failing and I need to pass this class or else I would have literally punched your face right now and stolen a hundred dollars from you."
Lucas lost his smirk after what I had just said and had gotten more serious.
"Fine, I'll try and help you pass but could we at least act like friends?" Lucas asked,
"I'll try," I muttered and walked away, my hands in my pockets, looking at the ground.
Did we have a shot at becoming friends? We were both so different and all we ever did was make fun of each other. Plus, it would be hard not making fun of him.
I met up with Riley at the subway as the marriage subject was brought up from Riley.
"You're so lucky, you get to partner up with Lucas and you have a gorgeous baby, speaking of babies, Maya, where's yours?" Riley began,
Shit, shit, shit. I had forgotten it in my locker.
"I forgot in my locker, if I don't get it, it'll probably die of starvation by the time, I get to school tomorrow," I replied.
Great, I had to walk all the way back to school just to get a fake baby.
***
I had went back to school and gotten my baby, who had been wailing like a lunatic, I was very convinced to slap him but I knew I didn't want to be an abusive mother if I ever got a real baby so I didn't.
As I went on my phone, checking Instagram, Sammy, began to cry once again. No tears would come out of her, obviously, but the sound of her crying is dead annoying and disruptive.
I placed my phone on my dresser and walked to Sammy, who I had placed on my bed, I didn't know if she was hungry, or if she needed a change of diapers, ugh, this was so exhausting as I held my nose, with one hand I checked her diapers (yes, fake babies poop too), to my dismay, it was just utterly disgusting, I held my nose even harder and breathed from my mouth so I couldn't smell anything, I threw the diaper in the bin and pulled out a clean one from the packet that our teacher had given us. She even gave us a supply of fake baby food and milk to feed fake babies, I didn't even know if they existed.
After I had changed her, she stayed quiet for about 10 minutes and began crying again, I gave her, her fake milk bottle and fed it to her, cradling her in my arms. She finished drinking and I took the bottle, the next five minutes, she had fallen asleep.
***
I couldn't sleep at all, Sammy had been wailing for hours and had only slept for about half an hour, when she woke up crying again, I was lucky that my mum had a late shift or else she would have been furious. I decided to dial Riley, I didn't dare dial Lucas because I didn't want to look like I was horrible at being a decent mother in front of him.
Riley was probably asleep but I knew as a fact, she kept her phone next to her bed, I just hoped her phone wasn't silenced or turned off.
As I ringed her, she answered on the third ring.
"Hello?" she muttered.
"Hey Riley," I greeted causally, pretending like calling someone at 3 in the morning was something that everybody did.
"May I ask, why you're calling me past 3 in the morning?" she asked crankily, sounding like she wanted to kill me.
"How did you get your baby to shut the frick up?" I replied, clenching my fists.
"Easy, I didn't, I gave it to Farkle to take care of it, his duty, not mine," Riley answered.
I smirked, I knew what I had to do tomorrow, it was Lucas' turn to suffer. All I had to do now, was try and shut this baby up.
Tomorrow would be an interesting day.
"You're turn," I said, handing Lucas, Sammy.
I grinned at him from ear to ear. He opened his mouth to speak, looking quite shocked but he changed his face to a smirk. I raised an eyebrow at him, he always had a reason to make that annoying smirk.
"You were too weak to take care of a fake baby," Lucas laughed.
"You try and take care of it, see how that works for you," I replied.
"I will," he answered, looking a bit nervous.
I walked away, Lucas holding the baby. I could relax for the rest of the day at school and at home.
***
During history class, Lucas was holding the baby, it was crying like crazy. Mr. Mathews couldn't teach, holding my ears wouldn't work and all the baby did was cry.
"How do you get this thing to be quiet?" Lucas asked, looking stressed.
"Ooh, looks like someone is too weak to take care of a baby," I chuckled.
He glared at me as Riley looked sympathetic to Lucas, she held the baby and attempted to calm it down but failed miserably.
"DAD! You try and stop this baby! You had to take care of two in real life!" Riley shouted, handing Mr. Mathews the baby.
"This is your assignment, not mine, you have to take care of it and learn how to take care of a baby, maybe after this assignment you could even try babysitting," Cory replied.
"No thank you, Mr. Mathews, plus it's Lucas' turn to take care of the baby, not mine," I answered.
"Why would you do that? You don't take turns in parenting," Cory explained.
"Why not, dad? Farkle is doing a great job in taking care of my baby?" Riley asked.
"Well, Riley, teamwork is something very important in parenting," Cory responded.
The baby continued crying the rest of the lesson and Cory finally gave up.
"Just give me the baby already, Lucas," Cory ordered.
He managed to make it quiet in a matter of minutes, we all clap impressed but he shushed us.
"Consider that a lesson for all of you," he simply said.
I glanced at Lucas, who looked ashamed that he couldn't even take care of a fake baby, I didn't dare laugh because for once in a lifetime, I actually felt sorry that I didn't help him.
So after class, I walked up to him, deciding to actually try and become friends with him. I smiled at him.
"What do you want?" he asked me angrily, holding the baby in his arms, making sure not to make too much noise so it wouldn't awaken.
"To try and be friends," I replied, my hands in my pockets.
"Why would you want to do that all of a sudden?" he answered.
"Well since we're going to be married and having to take care of a baby for the rest of the month, wouldn't it be a bit easier if we were friends?" I explained.
He stayed silent for a second and then smiled.
"Sure, let's be friends."
I smiled at him back.
"So... friend. What do you want to do, after school?" I asked.
"Hmm, how about the arcade?" He suggested.
"Sure, I'll wait for you outside of school, after school finishes," I agreed.
It was settled, I would go to the arcade with Lucas Friar as friends.
***
Riley had literally freaked out when I told her at lunch.
"You are so lucky!" she squeaked gleefully, like some obsessive fangirl. "You're going on a date with Lucas!"
"It's not a date, Riley, you know we're total enemies. We're trying to be friends so we can do well on this project. And plus, I would never ever date my best friend's crush," I answered.
"That's what they all say," Riley mumbled.
"You've been reading way too many, romance novels," I replied.
When school was over, I said goodbye to Riley and waited outside for Lucas.
It had only taken a couple of minutes until he walked down the steps of the school building, waving at me, his same smirk still attached to his face.
"Ready to go?" I asked, my right foot against the school wall.
"Yep," he replied, popping the p.
We walked together to the arcade, not the lovey dovey way, where the couple holds hands, smiling, we talked casually next to each other, discussing our hobbies.
"So, you're into baseball?" I asked.
He nodded. "What about you?"
"I'm into drawing things, anytime I get inspiration, I grab my phone and take a picture of it to draw when I get home or when I am at home, I grab my sketch book and start drawing," I answered truthfully.
"Will you ever give me an art lesson?" he asked.
"Only if you ever teach me how to play baseball properly," I responded.
"Deal," he agreed, we shook hands.
"But Lucas, where's the baby?" I questioned.
"Oh, I left it with Farkle, paid him 20 bucks," he said.
"Well then you're technically not taking care of it so you have to take care of it tomorrow," I ordered.
"I spent 20 dollars, I think that's fair enough," Lucas complained.
"Whatever," I mumbled.
When we arrived at the arcade, surprisingly it was pretty full, school had only just ended, how could it already be crowded?
We walked over to ice hockey game and we played it, had just won after a whole 10 minutes of playing, I has only beat him by one point but still gloated.
"Fine, you won that one but let's try and play that basketball hoop game, we'll see who'll win," he chuckled.
"That's so unfair! You're way taller than me," I argued.
"I'll go easy on you," he simply said.
Although I'll admit, Lucas did go easy on me, he won easily, he put another coin in and this time we shared one hoop, I held the ball with my one hand and Lucas took my other hand, placing it on where it should be. He helped me score a goal and instructed me to just do what he had shown me again.
I blushed a little whenever he touched my hand, it felt pretty weird because just yesterday he was my bitter enemy, now he wasn't that bad.
