We've heard about Mayaville and Rileytown. Riley and Maya first brought up those two societies, when Cory (Riley's father and history teacher) gave the whole class detention. One day, Cory was late for class. Before Cory came to class, Maya got into Cory desk and took back the toys that he took from the students. Maya started shooting foam gum at Farkle Minkus. Maya was able to persuade Riley into joining her. Riley was the type of person who didn't like to break the rules; but, when she was with Maya, she'd usually do what Maya wanted. Riley picked up one of the toy guns and started shooting foam gum at Farkle. The whole class got out of control. When Cory walked into his classroom, he saw Riley and Maya firing foam gum at Farkle and the rest of the class acting up. Everybody in the class apologized, but Lucas Friar. Cory gave the rest of the class detention.
Lucas' reputation meant a lot to him and wanted to get into detention. So he pulled out his cell phone and sent Cory a text message. After Cory saw the text, he gave Lucas detention too. At 3:00 PM, Cory locked his students in his classroom for an hour. Maya thought that they didn't need any rules. Riley stood up in front of the class and talked about her own society called "Rileytown." In Rileytown, everything was perfect, peaceful, and everybody followed the rules.
Maya stood up and talked about her own society called "Mayaville." In Maya's society, she said there were no rules and people could do whatever they wanted. Most of the class took Maya's side and want to see what it was like to live without any rules. So, they broke out of Cory's classroom and started running all over the school.
An hour later, Cory came back to his classroom. It turned out that Cory got Janitor Harley to monitor the classroom from the hallway, to see how they'd behave. When Cory said that detention was over, he made Maya stay behind in the classroom for another hour. He wanted Maya to learn that there were consequences for the choices that people make. Riley wanted to stay with Maya in the classroom. But, her father wouldn't let her. Riley sat outside the door to wait for Maya.
While sat at her desk for the following hour, she thought about how she could improve her own secret society. Maya Hart never revealed much about Mayaville, other than it was a place where no one said no and there weren't any rules. However, there more to Maya's own society. She has just kept Mayaville a secret over the years. She never told any of her closet friends about her own society that she created.
Many years ago, after Maya's father left she created her own society. She named it Mayaville. In her society it was a place where everything remained stayed the same and was peacefully. While she was sitting at her desk, she thought about how she could make Mayaville better. She took out a piece of paper and began to jot down ideas.
People always respected each other.
No friend betrayals ever took place.
People never went off and left their family, when they saw something better come along.
People were allowed to decide which classes that they required to take.
Students who went to school in Mayaville, got take all of their electives that they signed up for.
Every kid on the playground always had someone to play with at recess.
No arguments ever took place.
People decide how they want to dress, as long as they dress appropriate.
There was no animal cruelty.
She wanted to jot down more ideas, but Cory came back to the classroom. He saw Riley was still sitting by the door waiting for Maya. Cory opened the classroom door.
"Maya, it is now 5:00. You can leave," stated Cory.
"Thank you Mr. Matthews," answered Maya.
"I hoped you learned something," said Cory.
"Don't worry, I did," answered Maya.
She folded the piece of paper up and put it in her pocket. Maya got up and left the classroom. Riley was still sitting on the floor, waiting for her.
"Your dad, said I could leave," declared Maya.
Riley got up and followed Maya out the front doors. She hoped that Maya had learned something from having an extra hour of detention. Even though Riley waited outside the door, she learned somethings. One of those things was how to help Maya become a better person and stay out of trouble.
