Riley Matthews was currently in middle school and was about to embark on her special week of "Outdoor Ed"; a special week where middle school students are meant to brave the wilderness and get back to nature. At least that's how her dad put it. Riley and her best friend Maya had just gotten off the bus as Riley was moaning. Maya put an arm around Riley and said, "What's wrong honey?" Riley sighed and said, "A whole week without TV, my own room, and good air conditioning. Why did we have to do this?" Maya smiled and said, "Because it's the rite of passage every middle school student in America must face." Riley continued to sigh as she said, "But why can't it be optional? I want to sleep in cool air tonight. Not the 100 degree hot sauna we're in." Maya then said, "Come on Riles. My place has had the air conditioning and electricity break down often. So me and my mom have had to rough it plenty of times. You can do it too. Besides, it won't be too boring. Remember, your dad said because of the size of this camp site, we're going to be having our Outdoor Ed experience with some other school from Utah or some other place down south." Riley rolled her eyes and said, "Utah. Isn't it always hot there? I bet none of the kids from that school will be complaining about this heat."
Nearby stepping off of another bus was Andi Mack with her best friends Buffy and Cyrus. Andi moaned as she said, "A whole week without TV, my own room, and good air conditioning. Why did we have to do this?" Cyrus smiled and said, "Because it's the rite of passage every middle school student in America must face." Andi continued to sigh as she said, "This is just torture. And why do we have to have our Outdoor Ed experience with some middle school from New York City. I mean... they're New York City kids. They're probably going to think they're too cool to hang out with us." Buffy then smirked as she said, "Then let them think that way. I am gonna have so much fun when I wipe their silly city slicker smirks off their faces when I cream then in every sport we play this week."
Eventually, the two groups of middle school students came together. Eventually two adults were standing in front of the middle school students, who happened to be Cory Matthews and Bex Mack. Cory spoke first as he said, "Hello. For those that don't know me, my name is Mr. Matthews from John Quincy Adams Middle School. I'll essentially be your camp director this week. With me as my assistant director is a chaperone who came with the students from Jefferson Middle School - Ms. Mack." Bex smiled as she waved and said, "Hi. You all can just call me Bex. Ms. Mack is my mother." A smiling Maya then looked right at Cory and said, "Wait. if we can call her by her first name, does that mean I can call you Cory now." With a completely straight face Cory said, "No. Moving on then..." Bex then interrupted Cory and said, "Lets just get right to it. You all wanna find out where you're staying so you can unload, right? Now just so it's understood now, ,e and Mr. Matthews here decided to mix up the cabins so kids from both schools will be bunking together." Several groans were heard as Cory tried to speak over them as he said, "Because all of you know your friends from your home schools already too well now. It's good to meet new people, share experiences, learn new perspectives, and understand the world is bigger than you realize. Remember. This week isn't just about learning about science and nature. It's about meeting the world." A curious Andi who was near the front of the crowd said, "Meeting the world?" Cory smiled and said, "Yeah. Life is more than just your little bubble of friends, family, and familiar things. There's a whole world out there you gotta meet. And it's gonna start this week." Cyrus then raised his hand and said, "Sir. Do you always talk this dramatically?" Half the middle school students present immediately said, "YES!" Cory smiled as he said, "Well you can definitely tell who are my students." Bex then held a paper up and said, "Okay. Epic speech is done. Now it's time for fun. Whose ready for the best outdoor education experience of your life!?"
