*OJ's POV/ One month later*

It's been a month since Farkle and I got together and honestly, it's been amazing.  Everything changed after Riley left and it was definitely for the better. But, apparently, I spoke too soon.

I can't believe she's back. And just in time for the field trip.

Today is the day we go on our school trip to the Ski Lodge, which my father is completely mortified by. Let's just say that my parents trip there could have been the end of them. But, thank God it wasn't or I wouldn't be here. I also wouldn't have my amazing friends and boyfriend. Then my mom walked in with my sister and my Uncle Josh. Awesome. Now for the longest bus ride of my life.

"I should have stopped Riley from pushing you off the bus," Lucas says sadly.

"It's really ok, Lu." I say while hobbling throught the entrance to the Ski Lodge. Thank God Josh had a boot (A/N: temporary cast) that I could put on.

"No, it's not."

"I'm being the bigger person, Lucas. I will not let her ruin my happiness. Not again."

"Wow," he says, astounded.

"What?"

"I'm just proud of you."

"Oh." I then notice Josh smiling like a crazy person at his phone. Hmmm...

I say a quick goodbye to Lucas, kissing him on the cheek and hobble over to my uncle.

*Josh's POV (It's a new POV change!)*

After getting to the Ski Lodge, I get a text from Olivia.

Olivia is someone I met at NYU's summer program and we've been talking ever since

Olivia is someone I met at NYU's summer program and we've been talking ever since. Looking up, I notice my favorite niece- yes, I said she's my favorite.

"What's got you all smiley?"

"No one." Crap.

"So it's not a what it's a who."

"You caught me," I say holding my hands up in mock surrender.

"Well?"

"Her name's Olivia. I met her over the summer."

"Summer's Pride, huh."

"What?"

"Nothing, summer must be very prideful for getting you guys together. That's all."

"You're weird."

"Thank you."

"Anyways, enough about me. How are you doing?"

"I'm taking it day by day."

"That's good, Max."

"Yeah, I just want to be brave."

"And I wanna see you be brave."

*Max's POV*

The rest of the trip went by very fast and before we knew it the rest of the year flew by. Riley was still Riley. I was still me. And my friends stood by me no matter what. All I knew was that I was gonna be brave.
