[One morning]

Thomas: (Sleeping) Boring...

Rebecca: (Downstairs) Thomas! Your friends are at the door!
Thomas: Man...(Falls down from his bed)

*Thomas opens the front door, meeting his friends*

Thomas: Hello? Hmm?!
Pola: Hey Thomas, ready to go?
Thomas: (Sigh) Not this again...

Pola: (Grabs Thomas's hand) Come on! (Drags him)
Thomas: Hey! Stop! What are you doing?! Let me go! I can walk by myself!
Pola: We're going to school now!

[Later in the evening]

*Thomas and the others are walking home*

Pola: Wow! That was so much fun! Right you guys?
Desiree: Yep, it sure is

Mitch: I'll be seeing you guys. Gotta go (Leaves)
Jack: Say, I'll be seeing you guys too. I gotta go help my dad with the food unpacking at the grocery store (Leaves)
Pola: Hey Thomas, I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow. And please, make sure you join us on our activities or else...see ya (Waves goodbye to Thomas)

Thomas: Great...

*Thomas walks along the hillside*

Thomas: Hmm, I wonder what I can do today, since it's been two days since I arrived here- (Falls from a cliff) WAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Person: (Off-screen) Ah!

*The screen cuts black. Later, Thomas wakes up in a tent with a boy next to him*

Thomas: Huh? Where am I?

Boy: You were falling from a cliff, stranger

Thomas: Hey, who are you calling someone a stranger?
Boy: It's none of your business, kid...

Thomas: Who are you?
Boy: (Sighs and goes outside)

Thomas: Hey, wait! (Goes outside as well) Where are you going? (Sees the boy observing the night sky)
Boy: Hi

Thomas: What are you doing?
Boy: Observing the night sky. You never heard of stars before, stranger?
Thomas: I know what stars are? But do you like hanging out at night?
Boy: It's my habit. Exploring at night makes me more active everyday, daytime only makes me less active. Why do you care?

Thomas: Okay, just asking. You know it's been this long since I've been observing the night sky. So far, I've lived here for two days, and even though I never really liked school that much, I still find it pretty easy, just like kindergarten 

Boy: You sounded a lot like Steven Bucker

Thomas: Steven? Who's he?
Boy: You don't need to know. Just some private info

Thomas: Oh. (Gets a notification) Hmm? (Checks his phone, getting a text message from his mother saying where he is right now) Crap. I gotta go.

Boy: Already?
Thomas: Yeah sorry, my mother is probably worried about me. Well, it was nice knowing you. See ya (Leaves)

Boy: Hmm. Something is not wrong here (Walks away)

*On the way home*

Thomas: Huh? Oh wait, I forgot to tell that boy's name. Oh well, probably tomorrow

[Back home]

Thomas: (Enters his apartment) I'm home

Rebecca: Welcome home sweetie, where were you?
Thomas: I sorta got lost on the way home.
Rebecca: Well, dinner will be ready in a few minutes

Thomas: Okay, thanks mom (Heads upstairs)

[During dinner]

Rebecca: So Reena, how was school today?

Renna: Good mom, I think I'm starting to like the new place

Rebecca: So Ivy, I heard that you've already joined a school club, how that go?
Reena: Um...okay I guess

Rebecca: How about you, Thomas?
Thomas: It was...the same like yesterday. But today, I've been exploring the hillside and met this boy, I really don't know his name, but he seems cool actually! He rescued me when I fell from a cliff

Reena and Ivy: What?!
Thomas: So, then I got a text message from you guys, saying that I need to go home

Rebecca: Now dear. When Ivy and Reena told me where were you, it gave me quite a shock

Thomas: Huh?

[In Thomas's bedroom]

Thomas: (Staring at the ceiling) Maybe someday, I will find something new...and that something, will give the chance to make this place better than Columbia...(Turns off the lights and drifts to sleep)
