Our Time To Meet The World.

Girl Meets Pluto.

Emily's POV

We were in history class.

"Somebody read that." Matthews says. 

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it" Winston Churchill." I read. 

"And he did. Who's gonna write their own history here? What is history? I keep forgetting." He says.

"History is time passing." Riley says.

"Oh yeah? How much time? Someone once said, "100 years from now, all new people." He says.

Maya raises her hand. "100 years!"

"Wrong." Matthews says. 

"You set me up." She says.

"When should you guys begin to make your own history? " Mr. Matthews asks.

"Right now." Riley says. 

"Good. So, today we're talking about Winston Churchill. When the new people come, how do you want them talking about you?"

"Nicely?" Riley asks. 

"How long do we have before history makes its decision about us?" Maya asks. 

"What if they're writing it down now?" Farkle asks.

"Doesn't matter. Chapter one: Introduction. Please read." Matthews says. 

"There is a comfort in knowing that history is fixed. You can no sooner change history than you can change the nine planets in our solar system from Mercury to Pluto." Riley reads from the text book.

"Oh." The whole class says.

"What?"

"Nice job, Mr. Matthews." Lucas says to him. 

"What'd he do?" Riley asks Lucas. 

"He just showed us history books can be wrong. You can change history." Lucas says.

"I don't get it." Riley says. 

"How can she not know?" Lucas asks.

"Look at the bird!" I exclaim. Riley looks for a bird.

"She doesn't know because she has us." Maya says. 

"The Riley Committee." Farkle says.

"The committee exists to keep certain information away from Riley." I say. 

"Like what?" Lucas asks. 

"Everything, really." Farkle says. 

"Listen, this committee can't protect her for the rest of her life. She's getting too smart."

"She's looking for a bird." Farkle says.

"Well, someone's gotta tell her."

"You do it." I say to him.
