Matt looked around the hallway, it was his first day at Hillridge Junior
High, and he was quite nervous. He looked for familiar faces, nothing,
just people from other schools last year and people he never really talked
to. People he never really talked to. Matt thought of Lanny, his best
friend. "I guess he's happier in his new school", Matt whispered to
himself, "he's a gifted soul". (Camera shows pictures of Lanny in a gifted
school for gifted people, one with Lanny in a debate team and another one
in the school musical).
"Matt!" Someone screamed excitedly from behind him, he recognized that voice, and quickly turned around, it was Melina.
"Hey Melina!"
"So, what do you think of the new school?" she excitedly asked, she was obviously happy and excited about being a seventh grader".
"It's okay." Matt replied with a small smile, though Melina knew it was obvious he was missing Lanny.
"Look Matt, I know you are upset about Lanny going to a different school as ours, but that doesn't mean school will be boring, I have plans, BIG plans", her eyes began to widen, and it scared Matt a little.
"So, can I see your schedule?" Matt asked Melina, a little more enthusiastic.
"Sure!" She said, and as they compared schedules, realized that the only subject they had in common, was lunch.
Matt was a little worried, so Melina and Matt decided to make new friends. "After all", Melina told Matt, "everyone needs friends!"
As the two friends were walking down the hallway, talking about some future pranks they could pull for the school year, Matt noticed that there were the "school stereotypes" as her older sister Lizzie would put it. There were the popular girls flirting with the guys, and the geeks talking about their latest gadgets. One of the geeks oddly looked like Larry Tudgeman, only smaller. Probably his relative, Matt thought.
The first bell of the year finally rang, and Matt and Melina hurriedly ran to their respective classes. Matt knew by heart where to go, since the seventh graders had an orientation the week before, and as he entered, a cheery-looking man greeted him, and as he had no idea where to sit down since everybody was bundled in "school stereotype groups", decided to sit alone in the corner seat, about three rows away from the geeks.
Suddenly, a girl with black hair tied in a neat ponytail and glasses appeared, and decided to sit beside Matt. "Oh I'm sorry, is this seat taken?" She asked, about to stand up.
"No, I actually don't know any of these guys", he told the girl.
"Me, neither", she quietly said. "I just moved here from New York"
"Cool, I've been living here all my life", he said with a smile. Finally, a friend! He happily thought. "I'm Matt McGuire."
"Hey, I'm Luna Navarro", she smiled, happy to find a friend as well. "Do you have any other friends in this school?" She politely asked.
"Well actually, yes, I have a friend named Melina, but she's only in my lunch class."
"What period do you have lunch?" she asked, but was interrupted by the bell, and the teacher, who introduced himself as Mr. Williams, started writing down stuff to expect during the school year.
The 40- minute period seemed to go on forever, and finally the bell rang, "Whew, glad that was over, that teacher sounds boring", she smiled.
Matt smiled as well, "What class do you have next?" he asked.
"I have Social Studies with Mrs. Campbell", she said, looking at her schedule, which was full of doodles obviously from their previous class. "What do you have next?"
"Bummer, I have English with Mr. Bryans", Matt said with a heavy sigh, "guess that means I have to find another new friend."
Luna laughed, "well, I gotta go~ I might be late for class!" she said, heading to her locker to grab some stuff.
Matt smiled, triumphant that he found another comrade.
