[based on season 2 episode 1]

 "cory! crystal! let's go! you guys wanna be late for your first day of high school?" screamed alan from the kitchen. a huff escaped crystal's lips as she dragged herself from her comfortable bed. her eyes scanned herself in the full length mirror she begged eric to get her back in the summer - ahhhh, good old times, where all crystal had to do was pout her lip and she could get anything she wanted with most of the matthews. now, they're practically used to crystal's bullshit act - and she nodded at herself once. 

 crystal loved first days. she loved the feeling of being able to start anew, especially in a new school with new people and new teachers and a completely new environment. the only not-so-new thing in john adams high school would probably be her cousins, shawn and topanga. other than that, crystal was open to all the changes she was going to go through. back in her hometown, there really weren't many schools. both her middle school and high school were combined into one small building, and not alot of opportunities were offered to her there.

 flicking her hair behind her back, she grabbed her essentials before rushing down the stairs. the matthews house was really becoming home and comfortable for crystal, and she admired the feeling that came within it. she never really got such a welcoming atmosphere as she grew up, and no matter how hard it was going away from what she had lived with for 11 whole years, she took not much time to adjust herself to the way the matthews lived. alan wakes up exactly at 1:15am on tuesday nights because the phillies usually play on tuesday nights. amy makes scrumptious breakfast whenever she feels amazing, but lousy dinner whenever she feels like shit. eric goddamn matthews goes through girls like clothes each day. morgan cooks up many mischievous and sneaky plans to get what she wants. and corygory apparently does not know how to cook an egg. crystal even knew feeny's everyday routine. nothing ever got out of her sight. it was just the way she was. careful, observant, prepared.

 "hey, mum! hey, dad! how ya doing?" shawn exclaimed, abit too much excitement in his voice. upon jumping down from the stairs and making a dramatic land in the kitchen, crystal joined him downstairs, more prim and more proper. no making loud noises with her feet, just a quick and quiet entrance into the kitchen which smelled delicious.

 "good morning fellow matthews! your queen has arrived!" crystal greeted loud and clear, ruffling morgan's hair. morgan smiled sweetly at her, but glared at cory, muttering a "go back to camp, loser" at her brother. gosh, crystal always loved that kid.

 "cor?? crys?? you're not..."

 "nervous wrecks?" crystal asked, sipping some coffee before alan noticed and retrieved his cup once again, in which crystal just looked innocently towards her father figure. cory walked towards his mother, leaning on the counter confidently before explaining. "no, because we know our place."
