The Baddest of Them All

Chapter 13: The Project Begins

"I completely forgot about that stupid project!" I say angrily.

"Well I think he's handing out the dolls tomorrow, so have fun with that," she says.

"I really don't want to be a parent with... him," I say as I point at Zander.

He smiles that mischievous smile of his, "Oh come on, Nicole. It won't be that bad. It will just be practice. I mean if we ever have kids-"

I cut him off, "No! Don't you dare finish that sentence!"

The whole car booms with laughter. Frustrated, I get out of the car, slam the door, and stomp up to my porch. I look back when I notice Joan's head sticking out of the window.

"Hey! I thought I was spending the night here," she says while still laughing.

"Why don't you and Alice go spend the night at Zander's, since you guys are such great friends," I suggest.

"That's fine with me. My parents aren't home. We can get all dirty," he yells.

They're silent for a moment. Then they boom with laughter again. That's when I go inside and slam the door shut. I hope they have fun with him. Since it seems like when he's around his friends he gets in a perverted mood. Once they're gone, I go upstairs to change into some comfy pajamas. I take my shirt off, and I'm just about to take my pants off when I sense something. I feel like eyes are watching me through my window. I walk over to the window and I look out. All I see is darkness, so I continue undressing. All of sudden, I hear laughing and I know that someone is out there. I open my window and I see that Nick and Billie are standing on a ladder outside my window. When they see me they panic and they fall off. I'm outraged at them for peeping at me and I run outside to beat the crap out of them. They see me coming and they make a run for it. They have a head start on me, but I'm so mad that I'm much faster than them right now.

I jump on Billie and I pin him to the ground.

"What the hell do you think your doing?!" I scream, but then I notice he has a camera in his hand. I take it from him and I find they had already took pictures of me before I noticed they were there. I delete all of them of course and start beating the crap out of Billie.

"Wait Nicole stop! Let us explain!" Nick says.

"I don't think you need to explain anything!" I say in anger.

Nick pulls me off of Billie and pins my hands behind my back. I struggle to get free, but surprisingly Nick is much stronger than I am.

"If you'll stop struggling and just let us explain-" Nick starts.

"You don't have anything to explain! I know what you were doing. You perverts were taking pictures of me naked!" I say while still struggling.

"Half naked," Nick corrects me and I just glare at him.

"The pictures aren't for us! They're for Zander! He needs them because he's a virgin! He's never had sex and enjoys naked women," Billie says but then covers his mouth.

"You weren't supposed to tell her that you stupid blockhead!" Nick screams.

"She was gonna kill us if I didn't!" Billie screams back.

I pause for a moment and stare at them. "What are you talking about!"

"He said that he "needed it" to survive. If you know what I mean by that," Billie says.

"Well... I know that he has a crush on me, but I didn't know he wanted... that. And i definitely didn't know he was a virgin." I say and make a disgusted face.

"Yeah well he is a virgin. He's the only one of us who still is, and I think he wants you to be his first. He talks about you non stop! It's really annoying. We thought if we did as he asked and took the pictures, that maybe he would shut up about you... and keep it to himself," Nick says.

I sigh and look at them,"Ugh, maybe you guys should just get out of here."

"Fine. We'll see you at school tomorrow!" Nick says and winks at me.

I roll my eyes and go back in my house. I notice there's a message on the answering machine. I play it and find out it's my mom. She said they won't be home until Thursday. What lovely parents they are. It's not like I'm complaining. That just means more of what I love... sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll.

I wake up with my hair matted to my head. It's 7:00 AM and I'm dreading getting up. I'm not looking forward to today at all. That stupid baby project is going to be a complete pain in my ass, but I can't fail it because I've already been suspended this year. I don't need any more trouble right now. And worst of all I now know things about Zander that I wish I didn't, and I'm sure he knows that I know now.

I roll out of bed and onto the floor. I lay there for about five minutes. Then I force my body to stand up. I walk to my bathroom and do everything to make myself look somewhat decent.

Well... decent to me at least. I wear ripped jeans, a plain, ripped black t-shirt, worn out black converses, and tons of rings and bracelets. My hair is wavy because I braided it last night. This may sound like a simple, cheap outfit, but you have no idea how expensive it is to look this cheap. I take one last glance in the mirror and I grab my car keys and head to the kitchen. I need to eat something, so I shove a banana down my throat (not like that you dirty minded freak) and I walk out the door.

When I arrive at the school, I look at the clock. It reads 7:59 AM. Oh shit! I didn't realize how late it was! I guess I shouldn't have laid on my bedroom floor for five minutes. I run full speed into the school. I'm running down the hallways warily to make sure a teacher doesn't see me. I speed walk through Mr. Balsy's door and take my seat behind Zander just as the clock reads exactly 8:00 AM.

"Ok class. Today I'm going to hand out your babies. Now I must warn you that you and your partner will have to spend one night together during the week of your assignment just so I know that you worked together. The rest of the week you can take turns," Mr. Balsy says.

I let out a frustrated moan and Zander turns around in his seat and gives me a humorous look.

"Was that a moan of frustration or a moan of pleasure?" he says mischievously.

"Shut up you perv," I say sternly. He smiles that mentally retarded smile of his and turns back around in his seat.

Mr. Balsy hands out the dolls. He gives me a boy and I just stare at its stupid face. Zander turns around again and looks at the doll as well.

"Wow, so this is our baby," he picks it up and examines it, "It's pretty ugly."

"What did you expect? Adam Levine hot?" I ask.

He looks at me confused,"Who the hell is Adam Levine?"

I roll my eyes and pick the baby up. Well I guess it's time to be a parent for a week... with a guy I hate... and a guy who is freakishly obsessed with me. Oh joy.
