Topanga's:


We all sit in our usual place at Topanga's. I look around, my hair sliding around my shoulders as my head turns. 


"Who are they?" I ask, motioning towards a trio. Two girls, one brunette, and one blonde, and one boy, a muscular brunette. 


"Thor, Francesca, and Nikki." Lucas replies.


"The seniors who put you in the 'hole'?" I ask.


"That's them." Farkle says. 


I get up from my spot next to Zay, and take a step towards them, before Say and Lucas each catch one of my arms.


"What are you doing?" Farkle asks.


"I'm going to thank them." I answer with a smile.


They let go of my arms, and I walk towards them.


"Hello." Thor greets me. "Do we know you?"


"Not yet. I'm Alissa. Lucas' sister. I came to thank you." I say.


"For what?" Francesca asks. 


"For bringing my brother and his friends closer together."


"We were just doing what we'd wished somebody else did for us." Nikki says.


"And without that, I wouldn't have the good friends that I do now." 


"You moved to Abigail Adams?" Thor asks.


"I did." 


"From where?" Nikki adds.


"From Einstein Academy." I tell them. 


"Ooh. Great school." 


"Yes, indeed. Now, may I treat you to some cheesecake?" 


"You don't have to." Francesca says.


"Oh, but I want to." I say before walking to the counter, ordering three slices of cheesecake from Katy, paying, and walking back over to them, giving them each a slice.


"Thank you." Nikki says.


"No, thank you. Without your work, I would only have select people from that group as friends." I turn my head back to the group, where they sit and talk. "And they're better when they're together."

Abigail Adams High School:

Everyone is filing into class. I follow before I am pushed onto the lockers. 


"Genius? I'd say that you're a dum-dum. One that can't do anything." A brunette girl says.


"What makes you say that?" I ask.


"Because I know it. You only got here because of your brother. It's not like you could have ever gone to Einstein Academy."


She releases me from the lockers, and I walk into the classroom as she walks to another class. 


All throughout my classes, I think about what she'd said to me.


All throughout the day, I don't speak unless called upon by the teacher. The only words that came out of my mouth were the lyrics to the songs that we were practicing in choir.

Bay Window:

"Something's off about you, Lissa." Zay says.


"You're nof your cheery self." Farkle adds.


"What happened?" Lucas asks.


"It's none of your concern." I say.


"We're all concerned, Alissa." Topanga says.


"I'm just not happy." I say.


Auggie walks over to me, and takes my hands.


"But I want you to be happy. Tell me what's going on." He says.


I scoop him up and put him in my lap.


"It's a bully." I say.


This comes to shock everyone. Even Matthews is shocked.
