Chapter 1

Joy wakes Riley up in the morning and calls all the other emotions to wake up. "Rise and Shine! Today is the big day! Riley's first day of High school!" She sings, joyfully and excitedly. Fear yawns and goes to the dashboard and looks to Joy. "D-did you s-say h-high s-school!?" A shiver goes down his spine as he says those words. Joy chuckles and goes to him. "That's right, Fear! This will be great! She will make new friends, start over and finally enjoy life!" She says in a singsong voice as she sees Sadness. She leaps over to her and takes her arms, smiling. "It's a big day!" She calls out, swinging Sadness around by her arms.
"Oh.. how sad.." She says softly, mumbling as she drags her feet to the dashboard to join the rest of the Emotions.

Riley takes a deep breath and looks out the big window. "This is it.." She sighs as she lazily gets out of bed. She goes to her wooden chair by her desk and dresser across the room which holds her new outfit for school. A red polo and jeans with a nice pair of sneakers on the ground. She brushes her long blonde hair and ties it in a ponytail and goes downstairs and hears her mom and dad singing "Happy First Day of High School" in the tune of "Happy Birthday". Her mom and dad get some photos as Riley shoves some chocolate chip pancakes into her mouth as she hears the school bus' horn. "Bye Mom and Dad!" She calls out as she grabs her backpack and her phone and rushes to the bus. She gets on and sits on the first seat and looks out the window to her parents and waves.

"And we're off." Joy announces, jumping up and down from excitement. "If anyone picks on her, I will get so angry!" Anger growls, a spark of fire erupts from his head and Joy comes over to him and simmers it. "Oh.. that would be sad.." Sadness says, hanging her head and watches the screen. "The food better not be gross!" Disgust adds. "Come on guys! Perk up! It's a new day! New school year! New supplies! New friends!" She excitedly jumps around as they pull into the campus.
