Our first day of high school! I'm feeling confident! Nothing can go wrong! Riley and I open the entrance doors, followed by Lucas, Elliot, Farkle and Isadora
"This is it!"
"High school!"
"We're gonna own this place!" As we visit the hallways I keep looking at all the seniors and Elliot, who is now ahead of us. They all move so nonchalantly, so relaxed, so chill, unlike me. I'm like a lost kid
"Riles? What if we don't own this place?" I ask my best friend
"Maya, life wouldn't do that. We're us"
"Us are in Jurassic Park" Zay adds when he sees the basketball team and Elliot rolls his eyes
"Come on, they're just people in high school" Lucas raises his eyebrows
"You know who goes to our high school? Thor" Riley takes my hands
"I heard that even the best of friendships can come apart in high school. But that couldn't happen to us, right? Promise me that no matter what happens, we will always stick together" As I'm about to answer the bell rings and we're all drifted apart by all the student going to class. Am I still alive? Yes. The others? Affirmative. Elliot? Is at his locker, still calm
"Look! A patriot. We're Abigail Adams Patriots. We're just as much a part of this place as anybody else"
"Get in the hole" I glare at the trio. Nobody tells me what to do
"Of course get in the hole"
"What are you?"
"I'm Riley"
"What are you?" she better back up before something bad happens to her. I move in front of Riley to protect her. Why the hell is Elliot watching this scene with a smile?!
"She's my best friend, and we can do without the attitude, madam"
"What'd you call us?" Okay, maybe I feel a little bit intimidated now
"I'm gonna probably need help now"
"Guys, come on. Leave them alone" Thank you Elliot, it was about time
"Do you know these people?"
"Yeah, the brunette is my sister" Thor smirks
"So I guess that the blondie over there is your girlfriend" I frown, what?
"She's not"
"Tell that to Anna" I chuckle
"Guys, you've got the wrong person. Anna is his girlfriend" one of the girl frowns
"She doesn't know, so you better not tell her. Got it?" Farkle looks like he knows about this story, what are they hiding from me?
"Know what?" the girl smirk
"You're spunky. You know what I'm gonna call you? Spunky"
"And what are you, Spunky?" Lucas rests his hands on my shoulders
"Her name is Maya. And you can call me Lucas" he steps in front of a random guy
"You wanna know what I am? I'm as strong as a horse. I don't know how. I just am" Thor smirks
"Yeah, he's not even with us. When my friends tell you to do something, you do what they say"
"This hallway here is for people who have earned it"
"Why are you doing this?"
"You wanna hear your freshman song?"
"Oh, we have a freshman song. I want to hear our freshman song" same old Riley, too innocent
"I think you don't" they start singing
"Oh, we have come to Abigail
With innocence of soul
And what we are is freshmen
So, we go into the...
Hole" the brunette does an amazing run while hitting a high note, amazing.
"It's beautiful"
"Riley!"
"You know, it's not so bad down here" we look at Zay
"You're already down there?"
"Oh, I saw how this was going" Riley goes down there with Smakle and Farkle.
"We were kings" I say in a whisper
"Yeah, that's over, Maya"
"Elliot, you're in this too?" he nods
"Yeah" I groan and get down there. Lucas in the only one who refuses to join us
"You know we're not gonna stay down here, right? You guys know as soon you leave, we're just gonna go to class"
"Oh, we want you to go to class"
"But spend your free time down here because of what Spunky said" I raise my eyebrows
"What, 'We were kings'?"
"Yeah. In middle school, you were"
"We all were"
"Right now, you're not. We are"
"We walk anywhere we want and you don't"
"Why? Because you say so?"
"Yeah" Thor walks up to Lucas. Is he gonna hurt him? I better do something
"Now get down there, little buddy" Elliot pushes them apart
"Calm down, Thor, they're my friends. Don't even touch them, got it?" Weird, even though those are seniors they are being controlled by a junior. I get that Elliot can represent a threat to Thor since he's his same size but this is very unusual.
"You'll know when to come out"
"This is a service we perform. You don't have to thank us"
"Yeah, trust me, we won't"
"Trust me Lucas, you will"
"If there's nothing else, we wish you good day" How can Riley stay so calm? I'd punch every single one of them if I could
"Good luck in high school" the seniors leave
"I'm sorry we're in here, guys" I wish I could hug him and tell him that everything's gonna be fine. I wish I could comfort him with my kisses but I can't.
"It's not your fault, Lucas"
"You can't protect us"
"I used to"
"You don't have to protect them" Huckleberry looks confused
"One day you'll understand. Just stick together, okay?" Elliot glances at me before walking away. He's been avoiding since the graduation party and I don't know why. Maybe he still feels guilty for making me drunk but it wasn't his fault. I drank without even asking for his permission. To be honest, I don't even remember what I did that day. I just remember waking up on his bed, nothing more.
When we're sure that we're fully alone we decide to head to class
"Good morning and welcome to World History. Who's ready to learn?"
"What's that on the board?" a girl asks
"We were Kings. Now we're Patriots"
"Why does it say that? It's cryptic. You can't teach us cryptic. What are you trying to get away with? Huh?"
"I'll be right back" Mr. Matthews asks his daughter her name
"What's your name?"
"Marly'
"Marly"
"Marly sees right through me"
"Just keep on teaching about our lives, and she'll come around"
"Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams and the mama of Johnny Q. They were quite the historical triangle" I roll my eyes
"Ha"
"Triangle"
"Ha"
"And I'll tell you that the one thing they understood about this brand-new nation was to stick together because every direction they turned was brand-new, undiscovered country"
"I am an Abigail Adams Patriot" Lucas replies to Riley
"How? We don't even get to walk in the hallways"
"Lucas, these seniors are older and more experienced than us, and I think that they're trying to help"
"Riley, they're making fun of us and we're letting it happen"
"But most of all, these patriots knew to remain loyal to each other because their survival depended on it in a dangerous, new land"
"Riley, we don't even know our way around the school yet. Why would we just park ourselves in a hole?"
"Okay, so you just want to throw us into whatever goes on in this place and just see what happens?"
"Yes, because you know what I call that? Normal" Marly smirks
"Let me see if I get how you teach. My boyfriend and I get into a fight..."
"Aww"
"I was talking about you" great, now people think that Riley and Lucas are a couple here too...
"Uh, me? Why? Are we fighting?"
"Oh, I don't know. Let's go to the weird, undefined area between the two floors and talk about it"
"We are fighting. You have to fight with him exactly as much!" Why should I?
"But I don't know what he-"
"Do it!"
"Okay!" I stand up and rest my arms oh his desk. Do I have to? I can't look at him in the eyes so I just look at the ground instead
"Huh-hurr! Huh-hurr! Huh-hurr! Huh-hurr? Huh-hurr huh-hurr! Huh-hurr!" when I look back up I can see a smirk on his face, ugh, he's aware of my feelings for him. I sit back down
"Who misses middle school?" Everyone raises its hands.
