The week of Outdoor Ed was coming to a close. The students from both schools in less than two hours were going to get onto their buses and go back to their respective home towns. At a table sitting together were Riley, Maya, Andi, and Buffy. The four girls were talking and laughing as Andi said, "Oh my gosh. That was so much fun I had last night." A curious Maya then said, "Think you'll ever do something like that again?" Andi then said, "Oh God no. I was so nervous I'm probably never gonna get naked in front of other people ever again." The Riley said, "I know. When it was all over I was like: what was I thinking!?" Then Buffy said, "Well I'm really glad we all met this week. You two turned out to be really cool people." Maya smiled as she said, "Right back at you Driscoll."
As several students were walking out of their cabins with their belongings, Cyrus was walking alone with his stuff. From nearby, Riley ran over to Cyrus and said, "Cyrus! Hey. Just wanted to say goodbye before we left." Cyrus then said, "Oh. Thanks. It was good to meet you Riley. Thanks for listening to me that one day. As weird as it sounds, it's kind of always nice to meet someone else whose heart has been messed with by Jonah. Hope things work out for you in the romance department. I mean given our society, it's pretty unlikely I'll ever find happiness." Riley then suddenly hugged Cyrus and said, "Cyrus. There's a little thing I believe in called hope. Hold onto it, and all your dreams will come true one day." Cyrus smiled as he hugged Riley back and said, "Thanks Riley."
Eventually nearly all of the students were on their respective buses. Standing near them outside were Cory and Bex. As the two adults looked at each other Bex said, "Well. Despite being a bit too much of a dreamer, you're okay Mr. Matthews. Honestly, you're probably one of the best teachers and best parents I've ever met." Cory smiled as he shook Bex's hand and said, "And you're probably going to become one of the best parents I've ever met one day too." The two adults then got on their respective buses. Cory sat down near Riley as Riley said, "So dad. When our middle school does outdoor ed next year, are we gonna do it with them again?" Cory then said, "We might. We do plan these things a year in advance; and the company said it's either gonna be with them again, or with some high school from San Francisco called Bay View High."
THE END?
