"I'll see you at lunch" Troy said kissing Taylor's forehead as he dropped her of at her classroom before walking with Chad and Gabriella to Home ec.

"I hope we don't get a big project I really just wanna make like a cookie and then pass the class" Chad said as he sat down behind Troy who sat down at his desk at the front of the class with Gabriella to the right of him.

"Chad you know that they always end with something big for a project" Troy said turning around to look at Chad who in turn looked like he was caught in headlights.

"I said I hoped and if it is a big project I hope that I'm with at least one of you although I would prefer Gabi over you any day" Chad said with a small smile as he looked at Gabriella that returned his smile. Troy didn't have time to respond as Mrs. Smith came into the room pushing a big cart covered with a sheet in front of her.

"As you all know there is one final project we have to do before this class is over and you all graduate" some cheers and whistles could be heard around the room "Then you all are probably going to college and you'll meet that special someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with and start a family with. So to prepare you for that day so you don't kill your future children you're all going to be paired together and take care of a baby for the next two weeks" she said pulling the sheet away from the cart revealing eight baby's in car seats with a bag full of diapers, bottles and other things you will need to take care of a baby. Almost everyone groaned at seeing their upcoming project "I have already divided you all into pairs so as I call the pairs I will need one person from each pair to came up and take your assigned baby and his or hers belongings, Okay. Ryan Evans and Sarah Baker" Ryan went up to Mrs. Smith and received their baby giving Sarah a shy smile as he sat down in the seat next to hers "Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez" Gabriella smiled at Troy as he got up from his seat and fetched their baby. Mrs. Smith called all the pairs until there were only two pairs left, two of those four students were Chad and Sharpay. Chad crossed his fingers and closed his eyes hopping the harder he wished his wish would come true "Chad Danforth and Sharpay Evans" Sharpay made her way to the front and took the baby smiling at the teacher but as soon as she had received the baby and was turned to the class she frowned and set the baby down in front of Chad who looked like he had been kicked in the groin.

"Here's your baby Danforth, have fun!" she said ruffling his hair as she walked back to her seat with a cocky smile on her face.

"Alright now that everyone has a baby and a partner you are all free to go as soon as I have turned the baby's on" Mrs. Smith said with a smile on her face as she made her way around the room turning on every baby "You'll have your baby's with you everywhere you go, they will be with you at home and school and don't think you can cheat and leave your baby at home believe me I'll know if you do"

"Oh man, how am I supposed to take care of a baby on my own" Chad whined as the three made their way out of the room and headed towards Gabriella's locker.

"You're not alone you have Sharpay" Gabriella said slightly annoyed with her boyfriend and his constant whining as she put her bag in her locker and took out her lunch and water bottle before slamming her locker shut.

"Gabi, he has Sharpay as a partner she won't go near the baby" Troy pointed out as the three made their way to the lunch room where they sat by their usual table but none of their team mates sat by them. They all gathered at the table next to theirs and laughed as Chad sat his baby's car seat on the table and lifted the now crying baby into his arms and rocked him gently as he shushed him.

"If you all don't shut up there will be 20 more suicides waiting for all of you at practice" Troy barked at his team mates that now tried to contain their laughter.

"Troy sit down and eat your lunch" Gabriella said pushing Troy down in his seat as she sat next to Chad who was now holding the sleeping Kobe in his arms.

"Taylor has it" he said grumpily as he rested his head in one of his hands looking over at his team mates that now were laughing at him.

"What do I have?" Taylor asked approaching them but stopped dead in her tracks as she saw the plastic baby's on the table.

"Home ec assignment" Gabriella was quick to answer.

"Oh, well they're cute, what did you name them?" she asked sitting down next to Troy as she took out both her own and Troy's sandwiches.

"Kobe" Chad answered with a small smile on his lips as he looked down on Kobe.

"We haven't decided on a name yet but I was thinking maybe Stacy?"

"Hell no my baby girl isn't gonna be named after a cheerleader no way in h-e-l­-l!" Troy spelled out not wanting the baby to hear him swear.

"Then what do you suggest we name her?" Gabriella asked getting defensive.

"Raven"

"Why?"

"Well you have raven hair, so I thought it was fitting, I thought like mother like daughter" Troy answered. Chad and Taylor shared a look.

"Should we be worried?" Taylor asked Chad who shrugged his shoulders as he continued to watch Gabriella and Troy argue over what name their daughter should have for a few more minutes.

"Fine, let's call her Raven" Gabriella finally caved as Troy smiled triumphantly as Taylor handed him his sandwich hopping that if he had it in his hand he would finally eat it because she was sure that if he didn't eat it soon Chad would definitely eat it.

"So, how are things going with you and Troy" Gabriella asked as the two was sitting on the bleachers in the gym watching their boyfriends practise as they watched the babies.

"Good, good"

"Good" the only sound heard was the sound of sneakers gliding on the floor and basketballs bouncing of the gym floor.

"Do you ever feel like everything is going against you, that the walls are closing in on you and you can't breathe?"

"No, do you?"

"Sometimes, I mean everyone looks at me like I'm this fragile porcelain doll that will fall and break the second they're not looking. Sure I appreciate that people care and wanna keep me safe but the worst thing that could ever happen to me has already happened, right now I just need to heal and I feel like I can't do that when everyone is giving me those sympathetic looks and watch my every move"

"I'm sorry if I am one of those people, it's just, you're like a sister to me now and I don't know how to handle what happened"

"You're like a sister to me to" Taylor said as the two girls hugged.

"Tay!" Troy yelled from across the gym, she looked up and he blew a kiss at her before walking into the locker room.

"That boy is something special"

"He sure is" Taylor said with a soft smile still playing on her lips.
