"So Maisie, where you from?" Lucas asked as they made their way to the cafeteria. She and Lucas had just had fourth period PE together and were now on the way to lunch to meet the others. Maisie had yet to be introduced to Maya and Farkle but was fairly certain they were in some classes with her.
"I'm from a city in Australia called Melbourne. I was born in Sydney but moved to Melbourne when I was 3."
"That's so cool. How long you lived in America?"
"I moved here last month." By this point the two new friends had made it to the cafeteria and Lucas began looking around for the others. He found Maya, Zay, Smackle and Farkle on one of the lunch tables. They quickly got some lunch from the cafeteria ladies and sat down. Lucas introduced everyone and by this point Riley was entering the cafeteria.
Riley began to get her food and looked around. Maya waved her over to their table and Riley sighed with relief. She walked over to them but before she could get there she bumped into someone.
She found herself face to face with a girl her age. The girl wore what looked like designer clothes but now had some lunch food on them. Riley had also gotten some on herself.
"I-I'm s-sorry." Riley stuttered, scared by the look on the other girl's face.
"How dare you! You completely ruined my clothes!" The girl shouted angrily.
Riley panicked and turned around and ran right out of the cafeteria. Maya got up to run after her but Maisie was already on her feet.
Maisie ran down the hall right after Riley, her footsteps pounding on the tiles. She eventually found Riley sitting against the back wall of the bathroom
"You okay?" Maisie asked slowly walking towards her.
"Not really, it's the first day and I've already managed to destroy someone's clothes." Maisie sat next to her so they were nearly touching.
"Eh, it's nothing compared to my first day of high school." Maisie said.
"How have you already had your first day of high school? You're in the same year as me." Riley asked confused.
"Australia starts high school two years earlier than America. We start in year 7. But the point is my first day I managed to run into a wall making my nose bleed and then stumble right on top of the most popular girl in school. The blood went all over her and trust me, blood is a lot harder to get out of clothes than mashed potatoes."
Riley laughed a little and turned to face Maisie. "How'd you get through it?"
"I had amazing friends who stood up for me and helped me. You seem to already have those friends. Besides she was a total jerk. A week into school and I didn't feel guilty at all."
Maisie lifting herself off the ground and then turned around, holding her hand out to Riley. Riley looked at it for a few seconds and then accepted it. The two friends stood in the middle of the bathroom until Maisie dragged Riley by the hand to the sink. "Come on let's get you cleaned up and when we are done I think I have a jacket in my locker to cover any potential stain. Don't worry a good wash of the shirt when you get home should clear the stains right up."
Maisie and Riley rather awkwardly cleaned up the shirt with water and paper towels while Riley was wearing it and then they walked to the lockers to get the jacket. It was a relatively good match although Maisie was smaller than Riley, the jacket itself was a little too big and so was only slightly small on Riley.
The two girls then walked back to the cafeteria, although Riley was quite nervous about it. They made their way over to the table where Maya looked at Riley to make sure she was okay. When Riley smiled at Maya, Maya sent a look of gratitude to Maisie. Maisie just nodded in reply before going back to her food. Both Maya and Maisie sacrificed a bit of food for Riley so that she could actually have lunch. They then had to go to 5th period which Riley actually had with Maisie. They had drama together for what would be a double period. However today the classes were shorter, about half the normal time so they only had a single period before they would go home.
Maisie had learnt she did have classes with the others and that each class she had had at least Riley, Maya, Lucas or Farkle. She and Riley headed off to drama which Riley learnt was Maisie's favourite subject before it was finally home time.
Once home Riley added Maisie to her social medias and texted her for a while.
Corey had found out about what had happened in the cafeteria and had asked Riley about it but she had assured him that everything was fine. Corey reminded Riley about his history lesson on bravery and the homework as well as told her to be brave.
After that Riley finally closed her eyes on her first day of high school.
