Maya's POV:
Monday November 24, 1995 6:07 A.M.
Ok so I know I played it off cool when we were transported back to the 90's but I'm actually really nervous. Today is going to be our first day at John Adams High. I'm scared that Riley might blow our cover and tell everyone that we are from the future. When I woke up I saw Riley hopping pack and forth.
Riles what are you doing I asked her. Oh well when I get nervous I usually pace back and forth but since I can't walk on my leg, I decided to hop back and forth. She said while she was hopping over to her crutches. I jumped down from the top bunk and headed towards the small dresser in our room. I pulled the drawer open and grabbed the clothes that the orphanage provided. They were nothing like our clothes from 2014 and they were really dull and plain. But it didn't really matter anyways because I didn't want Riley and I to stick out. After a few minutes Riley and I were done finishing getting dressed. Riley had a little bit of trouble getting her pants on because of her leg brace but she managed. Riley and I decided to skip breakfast so that we could get to the bus early.
When the bus came I saw a head of curly brown hair in through the window. I figured that it was Mr. Matthews. I decided not to tell Riley because I knew that she would freak out and blow our cover. But as I suspected she messed it up. When we were getting onto the bus she tripped and fell in the isle. When I was trying to help her up a brown curly headed boy was coming our way. Let me help you he said holding out his hand. I looked up and saw it was Mr. Matthews. I'm guessing that Riley didn't see who it was cause she let him help her up. Thank y- when Riley looked up she saw that it was her dad and froze. Sorry, she gets really nervous around new people I said while I was trying to release Riley's grip. It's ok Cory said. I'm Cory by the way he told us. Cool I'm Maya and this is Riley I said to him. We're new to this school I told him. Oh ok, what grade are you guys in he asked us. 8th I replied. Me too! He said going back to his seat. Riley and I followed him and we sat in the seat across from his and Shawn's. this is Shawn my best friend. Cory told us. Riley began to freeze up again. Hey I said to Shawn. You're a total babe he said looking me up and down. In your dreams Hunter. I replied. How do you know my last name Shawn asked me. I was a little stunned by the the question. I forgot that they didn't tell me their last names. So I had to come up with a lie. Your Shawn Hunter everyone knows that you're the biggest player around I said to him. You're not wrong blondie. He said while smirking at me. What's your name by the way? He asked. Maya, Maya Hart. I told him. And what's your friends name? I looked over and saw Riley shivering. Do you want to tell them your name? I asked her. She didn't reply. Her name is Riley Matthews I told them. Matthews? Hey cor that's your last name! Shawn said nudging him. Oh yea. Cory said looking at us. Maybe you two are related Shawn said. Nope! Not related at all! Riley replied. Hey she can talk. Shawn said. Yes I can talk! I just get nervous around new people. Riley said to them quietly. Oh ok, so what happened to you guys? Cory asked us looking at our casts. I couldn't tell Cory about what really happened because that would blow our cover. So I fudged the truth a little. Riley and I were running to get home cause a storm was coming, and we fell down a hill I told them. Oh, I'm sorry. Cory said to us. Yea it's fine. I replied. We all talked (not including Riley) until the bus came to a stop. The building was big and there were people everywhere.
Shawn, Cory and I helped Riley off the bus. We all walked through the double doors. There were people everywhere trying to get to their lockers and classes. Cory and Shawn guided us towards their lockers. Is it always like this I asked them. Yea pretty much. Cory replied as he put books into his locker. A few moments later a lot of hair was coming our way. It was Mrs. Matthews. Her hair was all the way down to her butt and she had bangs. I'd never seen her with bangs before. Hey cor, she said before giving him a quick peck on the lips. I figured that they were already going out by now. Who are your friends she asked them. Oh this is Maya Hart and Riley Matthews. Shawn told her. She has the same last name as you! Topanga said. Do you think that you guys could be related? Topanga asked. No they aren't related. Trust me I said to her. Oh ok then, well where did you guys move from? Topanga asked us. I thought about what I was gonna say for a second then came up with an idea. I didn't want them to know that we lived in an orphanage. We actually have lived in Philadelphia for a while, we just moved over to this part of town. Why? She asked. Well… I've lived with Riley's family for most of my life and her mom got a new job in New York City to be a lawyer. But riley and I didn't want to leave Philadelphia, so we live with Riley's uncle…. LUCAS! Riley blurted out. I can't believe she just said that I thought. Oh that's cool. Topanga replied. The first bell rang and everyone headed to their first class except for Riley and I. we went to Feeny's office instead to get our schedules. When we walked into the office a brunette was sitting at a small desk. How can I help you girls the lady asked us. We're new to this school and we need our schedules. I told her. Ok come with me she said to us. We walked to Feeny's office and sat down. Thank you for bring them. Mr. Feeny said to the girl as she walked out.
What can I do for you two he asked us. We are new to the school and we need our schedules so we know what class we need to go to. I told him. Oh ok let me check my files and see if you two girls are in there, what's your names? He asked us. I'm Maya Hart and this is Riley Matthews. I replied. Matthews? You're not related to Cory Matthews right? He asked us. No I'm not related to him. She said quietly. Ok good Mr. Feeny said as he sat down with two pieces of paper. Ok so here are your schedules he said giving us the paper. Riley and I had most classes together except for math and science. But you take what you can get. Now do you girls have any questions before I send you off to class? He asked us. Yea uh, how do we get to our first class I asked him. Lynda! Will you please show these two girls to their first class? He asked. Sure. The brunette said. Come with me. She said to us as she was motioning us out of the room. Our first class was Mr. Turner. Mr. Matthews always told us that this was Shawn's favorite teacher cause he took him in or something when his father left. I always wondered what it would be like if Mr. Matthews would ever take me in and let me live with him and Auggie and Mrs. Matthews and Riley.
We walked in the door and everyone turned their heads to see who had just entered. Everyone I would like you to meet Riley and Maya. They are new students to the school and I want you to make them feel welcomed. Lynda said to everyone. As Lynda walked out the classroom Riley and I took our seats. Hi I'm Mr. Turner he said coming towards us. You guys any good at English? He asked Riley and I. actually not at all. I said to him while smirking. The whole class started to laugh. I see we have another Hunter in the class. Mr. Turner said folding his arms. Actually my last name is Hart. I said to him. Ok then Hart since you love to make jokes you can make all the jokes you want after school he said to me. It's her first day cut her some slack. Shawn said. Ok then you have detention too Hunter. What did I do? Shawn asked him. Just being yourself is enough. Mr. Turner said to him. The whole class started to laugh at him. The rest of the day was pretty boring. Riley and I had to eat by ourselves since we had no friends yet. When the final bell rang Riley came up to me. How did you get detention the first day? Riley asked me. Hey, it's who I am. I told her. I'll be fine, you just go back to the orphanage and try not to talk to anyone ok. I told her. Ok I won't, trust me. Riley said leaving out the door. I walked back to Turner's classroom and when I got their Shawn was already sitting at a desk. I'm guessing you're here a lot. I said to him. Yep pretty much everyday, except for when Feeny gives me detention then I go to his room. Shawn said smiling at me.
Detention felt never ending. It went on for what felt like hours. Finally Mr. Turner let us go. As I was getting up to leave I tripped, and I fell into Shawn's arms. You ok there he said still holding me. I looked up at him and looked into his blue, grey eyes. Yea I-I'm ok. I said stuttering. We stared into each other's eyes for what felt like forever. Then something crazy happened. I leaned in and kissed him, right on the lips.
