Past-6th grade
"Okay class since we have been learning about friends all around the world I thought we try an experiment." Everyone groans. "We are going to give you a pen pal that lives in a different state or country and for the next three weeks you will write to each other and learn about there life." Our teacher passes names out and informs us not to exchange names or anything to personal.
" I didn't get a name." I say raising my hand. She smiles at me and call me to her desk. "Well Riley your person is a special one. It seems he has a little anger issue and his parents and teacher thought someone with your outlook on life might help him." I start smiling "of course thank you Ms. Lee"
I go to the library to use the computer and send him an email.
Hi I'm..
"no names" I thought. I try again.
Hi I'm princess dancing sunshine, you can call me psd for short. I've never done this before but I feel like we are going to be the very best of friends these three weeks! :) you can ask me anything.
Signed princess dancing sunshine
"Yeah that's good hopefully he responds." I say out loud. Just as I was going to log off I get a message.
Hi just letting you know I don't plan on writing I think this is a waste of time. So find something else to do for three weeks.
Signed mad
Well that wasn't what I expected. Who signs something just mad. I smile I had an idea. I send him a quick message.
Dear Mad Dogg, that's your new name. Trust me we will be writing to each other I'm very persistent. Like timon and pumba said to simba "hakuna matata" it means no worries. You can't get rid of me. Roz says it best in monster's inc. "I'm always watching." Adios mad dogg aloha au revoir :)
"this girl is weird." I thought but I couldn't help laughing at her Disney references and so I kept on writing.
Present day
Lucas pov
"Sweetie it's not going to be so bad here. You will make so many friends." My mom says cheerfully. I roll my eyes. "Sure mom." "Well at least you'll have Zay right?" She ask hopeful. I sigh and say "yeah don't worry mom. I just got to send a message to someone."
MadDogg-Hey PDS. First day of a new school got any advice?
PrincessDancingSunshine-Happy first day of school. I think you know what my answer is?
MadDogg-lol I know but it's our tradition for you to share your wisdom with me.
PrincessDancingSunshine-your right my bad ;) okay ready for it? Here it comes don't blink or you'll miss it:)
I chuckle at this girl's goofiness.
PrincessDancingSunshine-in the words of a very smart genie. Bee yourself! :)
PrincessDancingSunshine-do you love it or do you love it?!
MadDogg-lol quoting Aladdin this time nice. ;p
PrincessDancingSunshine-haha mock if you will but I guarantee you get a whole new world stuck in your head. Bet you're singing it right now without realizing it.
"A whole new world hmm." Damn she's right I am." I say to myself. "Jokes on her she can't hear me." I thought smugly.
PrincessDancingSunshine-told ya :p
MadDogg-you can't possible know I'm singing it?
PrincessDancingSunshine-but I do. I have magical powers that lets me know when people sing Disney songs. Just like right now my best friend is on her way singing A dream is a wish your heart makes from Cinderella.
PrincessDancingSunshine-message me later got to get ready for school adios au revoir aloha. :)
MadDogg-Sayonara ;)
I close my phone and smile waiting for Zay. "Dude while are you smiling? I thought you would have a permanent frown on your face and are you humming Aladdin?" I look up and chuckle at him. "Yeah well like the song says it's a whole new world." He looks at me weirdly so I punch him.
"Ow!" He says rubbing his arm. "There's the Lucas Friar I know."
Riley pov
MadDogg-Sayonara ;)
I couldn't help but giggle at his goodbye. It never changed since the 6th grade and it always manage to make me smile. Just then Maya climbs through the bay window singing you guess it. Cinderella. I burst out laughing when she climbs all the way through and tell her I knew she was singing that song.
"okay wizard of Disney let's go. Zay has a new buddy he wants us to meet." She says pushing me towards the window. "Maya I'm not even dressed yet." I tell her hoping she wouldn't ask why. I turn around and knew what she was going to say. "Why?" We say at the same time.
We laugh so she is distracted from asking anymore questions she just throws clothes at me. "Riles no more reading before bed okay?" I giggle putting on my shirt and say "okay peaches." "Come on Riley!" Maya says dragging me out the subway. "Maya Hart will you calm down! I'm sure Zay is waiting like always to flirt with you. Just date already!" I shout trying to get her to slow down.
She laughs and says "that's not why I want to get to school?" I raise my eyebrow at her and smirk. "Really peaches?" She doesn't turn around but I know she's blushing. Ever since Zay moved here in 7th grade they've been playing this game of flirt tennis with each other.
"Okay where is he?" She says looking around. "Oh I thought we weren't here for Zay?!" I say nudging her. "Oh shut up!" She says laughing and turning red. Just then I get a text from my dad. "Oh shoot." I say out loud. "What's up honey?" "Dad wants to see me. Probably left window open again. I swear I leave it open once and a bird flew in and he acts like it's the end of the world."
"I'll see you later peaches. Tell your future boyfriend sorry couldn't meet his friend." I say walking away. It takes her a moment to understand what I said and as soon as I turn the corner I hear her yell "hey!" I laugh all the way to my dad's class.
