     "So what's the plan? How do I get to know this 'Lucas'?" Riley asked me. Wow. It hurt to hear his name. I haven't talked to him in so long, it's, it's like there was a rock that was weighing on me from deep down inside of me and now that, well, you know, all this is happening, it's like that rock is coming back up and taking a punch to my heart. "That's easy. I signed us up for a club he's in. Film club." I answered her. "Oooh do we get to watch movies?" Even though I'm sad right now, Riley always knows how to make me giggle. "Not exactly. We get to make them." 

     Since I was a little kid I loved making movies. You know, getting all dressed up in makeup and costumes and doing a silly little skit in front of a camera with your friends? Or, in my case, your dogs, because I have no friends. Well, I didn't, now I have Riley. She's definitely a life saver. But anyway I signed up for Film Club to kind of, I don't know, re-live my childhood. And then I saw Lucas's name on the list. So, I signed Riley up also. And I have a great idea for a movie we can make...

     "So when does Film Club start?" Riley asked. "Tomorrow after school. Trust me Riley, you are going to love this." "Okay Maya, whatever you say, I believe. But please don't let Lucas hurt me." Here we go again. "Riley, you know me better than anyone else. Would I ever let anyone hurt you?" "No. You won't. I know that. I'm just scared." I lean in to let her rest her head on my shoulder. " If he hurts you I'll beat him to peices. Okay?" "Alright."
