(Short and not much Xavier dialogue since it's Xavier's pilot episode)

Xavier woke up to his phone ringing, It was zay. His long time bestfriend from Texas. "Yea?" He answered sleepily. "Dude you will never believe the happenings at Lucas' new school!"

"Oh yea, I'm going later today, I've still got paperwork to fill out and give to our principle."

"Oh you're in for a load of shock buddy."

QUINCY ADDAMS MIDDLE SCHOOL.

"Al washes a car in 6 minutes. Fred washes the same car in 8 minuets. How long does it take for Fred and Al to was the car together?" Mr. Matthews asked and nodded his head towards Farkle, signaling him to answer. "They were snapping towels at eachother I said: 'The car's not even dry yet! And they went-" Farkle continued to over exagerate what had previously happened, making goofy sounds which the group of friends laughed at. "So not 3 minutes and 25.7 seconds?" The teacher asked, Farkle nodded in shame. "I was wruh"

"Excuse me?" Matthews smiled.

"I was wruh!" Farkle exclaimed louder yet still not pronouncing the word correctly. "Well, takes a big man to admit that he was wruh. There is no answer to this equation. Except on paper. Which this isn't."

"Is there an answer in life?" Lucas asked.

"Ah, now we have arrived at the secret."

"Lucas' secret?" Riley, Cory's daughter asked, previously mad at Lucas for hiding such secret. "Bigger than that."

"Riley, somtimes things come oyt when they're supposed to come out." Lucas smiled at riley, kindly with warmth. "As long as you're not different than I think... Because I think a lot of you."

"I used to be different than I am now."

"What happened?"

"I came here." Lucas smiled, riley smiling back. "And there's your answer Yogi, there's the secret of life. People change people. No matter what I teach you in here, learning from the people you care about is more important than words on any page. That's why I let you talk in here sometimes. That's why It's interesting. " Cory paused and looked over to the vacant seat behind Farkle and Lucas. "Mr. Babineaux and someone else might've appreciated that if they were here."

"I don't know. I cant't always be responsible for him."

"Sure you can. But maybe in a different way now."

Lucas shifted in his chair, sitting up right. "Look, Zay's mouth get's him in trouble. He thinks he's tougher than he is, maybe. But he's my friend, and I care about my friends. Riley you understand that better than anyone. What were we supposed to do?" Riley looked at Lucas in sadness and confusion. " 'We?' Lucas, who's we?"

Lucas' face softened at the realization that he had raised his voice at Riley. "I'm sorry, again. I'm working on it okay?"

A tall intimidating man leans on a locker with Zay to his left, who tried to make friends. "So I'm new here, you know? Just tryin' to fit in to what should be my crowd, you know? Seeking out my kind of people, you know?" The man whom Zay was talking to continued to ignore him and looked ahead. "I'm sensing you know what I'm talking about. Look at you, you know what I'm talking about" Zay said, lightly hitting the man's arm as a joke. Unlucky for him, the man got seriously offended and glared at Zay. What a softie.

"That's why I'm not in my extra math class. Cause' right away, I knew you didn't fit in with these people either. You know these car washers? I'm gonna run with you now." Zay said, slapping his arm once more before muttering a 'you're welcome' and leans on the locker.
