Riley's POV

I walked towards the school after a long break of the beach and the sun and wasn't feeling too confident coming back. Kicking a pebble on the sidewalk, I held the strap of my bookbag tighter. I didn't even wanna leave my parents. What was wrong with me? I had a lot of friends, great ones in fact, and there was Jamie Bennett. My mind stopped. That was it. Jamie and I haven't even talked for the whole summer. We were just fine before we left DisneyWorld. I guess it could be that we both didn't have a phone at the time to text, but we could've at least had our moms arrange something. Ugh, what was I thinking? That's so embarrassing! Now I'll have to face him. Why was I so nervous? It will just be like old times, will it?

I felt my arms get goosebumps as my body inched closer and closer till- "Hey Riley!" I yelped, "I wanted to call but I didn't have a phone!" There was a silence when I realized that probably wasn't Jamie. It would've helped if I had opened my eyes and taken my hands off my face. The girl, I was assuming since it was feminine sounding(another reason it couldn't have been Jamie) laughed, "Um, I don't think I was expecting a call from you. Now can you give a friend a hug." I looked up and saw it was Tip Tucci standing before me, one of my best friends. I brightened, "Tip!" I hugged her tightly, "Oh my gosh it's been so long." Tip giggled, "I know. Wow, you look awesome!"

Shocked, I looked down at myself and realized how I seemed a bit taller than before, and lankier. Then I turned to my friend and saw that her hair looked slightly longer and poofier, and she looked slim as well. I hadn't seen her since early July because she spent most of her summer across the galaxy with her alien friend Oh. I smiled, "You do too." Tip put her arm around me, "Now you have to tell me what that blow up was about a second ago." I rubbed my head sheepishly, "Oh I..I mistakened you for someone else." The darker girl smirked, "Who did you think I was? Jamie?" I started to blush, "Ummm..unintentionally."

Tip laughed and pointed at my head, "You have that boy in your mind. Why don't you just go and ask him out already?" I felt flustered, "Oh, I don't know.." Tip rolled her eyes tiredly, "What's the deal with everyone being so nervous to ask their crush out? I mean really..it's not so hard." I sighed rubbing my arm, "I know, I know. I just...haven't talked to him since Disney and I don't know if we will still be like we used to." Tip frowned and hugged me, "Don't worry, I bet nothing has changed a bit. It'll be like old times."

Suddenly, Tip cocks her head and grins like a creepy person. Ok? What was going on with her-? Oh.. I found my answer. Hiro Hamada and Wilbur Robinson were walking down the other side of the sidewalk towards us. Tadashi Hamada and Honey Lemon weren't there with their hands locked to one another behind them because they were off at college. Tip used to have a small crush on Hiro ever since she met him last year, being a new student. I put my hands on my hips, "Don't tell me you still like him." Tip waved her hand away and smiled, "No way. I told you I was over him." Being her friend, I wasn't convinced, "Ok, because he has a girlfriend you know." Tip groaned, "I know.. I'm the one who helped Penny and Hiro together remember?" That was true. Tip had went to Jamie and I to see if we'd help get Hiro and Penny Forester to date. It was a little strange at the time how quickly she had gotten over him. But hey, she's was caring enough to let go of him so Hiro and Penny could be happy and I looked up to her about that. Also the fact that she is so loyal and outgoing.

"Hey Tip!" It was Hiro giving one of his toothy smiles. He looked great and seemed like the usual gap-between-his-teeth Hiro we knew. Tip smiled brightly, "Hey Hiro!" He came up to us, while Wilbur walked towards the school, and gave the poofy haired one a high five. He then acknowledged my existence, "Hey Riley." I was used to being unnoticed and kept a straight face, "Hey Hiro." Hiro asked giving his attention to Tip, "Did you get my last text about that video with the two guys that made that video?" My friend nodded, "Yeah, didn't you see I liked it on your story?" He shrugged, "I don't know. My phones been acting weird lately," he turned to me, "Do you have a phone, Riley?" I bit my lip and looked down, "Uh, I haven't gotten one yet." Hiro felt bad, "Oh, it's fine. Aunt Cass didn't let me have a phone till last year so it's not unusual." Tip agreed, "Yeah, and Jamie doesn't have one either." He turned his head across the street and his eyes grew, "Uh, now he does."
