Maya's POV

This is the moment that I have been waiting for months. I went to my classroom, along with Riley and Farkle by my side. "We are all in my dad's class. So, we are lucky to be in the same class for years," Riley said. Farkle and I nodded. We walked in the room at once and sat down in our assigned seat.

"Hello everybody. Welcome to high school. I am going to be your history teacher now and for the rest of your lives," Cory said.

"I guess he was serious about 'being there for the rest of our lives' saying," I said.

"I know. He is like serious about anything," Riley said.

"Hey. Am I too late?" a familiar voice came to my head.

"Lucas? You're back? How are you here? I thought you were not going to this school," I said, filled with surprise and excitement. I am kinda excited that Lucas is here. We have been great friends for as long as I can remember, and we are great friends.

"I came here because I realized that I will miss my friends if I went to a different high school than all of you. I will be lonely," Lucas said.

"Well, how about your plans on going back to Texas for high school?" Riley asked.

"Given it up. I want to stay right here with you guys for high school, especially you Maya, we have a lot to catch up on. You got some new nicknames for me," Lucas joked.

I laughed, "of course, but since we are all grown up, can we do something more mature than making nicknames and teasing each other?"

"Absolutely. Something fresh for a fresh year," Lucas said.

"Okay. Our first lesson of the year. The Cold War. The Cold War was a period of economic, political and military tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to 1991. Following the end of the Second World War, complications arose centering on the shifting of international power. The Soviet Union wanted to acquire additional territory while the United States attempted to limit the gains desired by the Soviets. This battle of ideologies resulted in increased national security, diplomatic tension and proxy wars between the two powerful nations," Cory explained.

The bell then rung. It was time for the next period. "Class dismissed," Cory announced. Everyone rushed out the door except for Riley, Lucas, Farkle, and I. We have a lot to catch up on.
