I don't own Girl Meets World!!!
Val sat in class, next to Annie and Lucas and in front of Zay.
"Somebody read that." Cory told his class.
"'History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.' Winston Churchill." Lucas read aloud off the board.
"And he did." Cory nodded "Who's gonna write their own history here? What is history? I keep forgetting."
"History is time passing." Riley said.
"Oh yeah? How much time? Someone once said, '100 years from now, all new people.'"
Maya threw her hand in the air "100 years!"
"Wrong." Cory pointed at her.
"You set me up." Maya grumbled.
"When should you guys begin to make your own history?" Cory asked.
"History has its eyes on you." Val hummed.
"Right now." Riley bounced in her seat, cheerfully.
"Good. So, today we're talking about Winston Churchill. When the new people come, how do you want them talking about you?" Cory asked.
"Nicely?" Riley suggested.
"How long do we have before history makes its decision about us?" Maya asked.
"What if they're writing it down now?" Farkle questioned.
"Doesn't matter." Cory pointed to Riley "Chapter one: Introduction. Please read."
"'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.'" She read.
"Oh." The class, except for Riley, chorused.
"What?" Riley asked.
"Oh, no." Val groaned.
"Nice job, Mr. Matthews." Lucas congratulated the teacher.
"What'd he do?"
"He just showed us history books can be wrong. You can change history." Lucas explained.
Riley shook her head "I don't get it."
"How can she not know?"
"Look at the bird!" Maya shouted and Riley started scanning the room for the bird "She doesn't know because she has us."
"The Riley Committee." Farkle explained.
"The committee exists to keep certain information away from Riley." Maya told the Texan.
"Like what?"
"Everything, really."
Lucas looked at Val confused.
"Don't look at me. I'm not a part of the committee." Val sighed "I think it's time she knew."
"Listen, this committee can't protect her for the rest of her life. She's getting too smart." Cory said, leaning in to join the conversation.
"She's looking for a bird." Farkle protested.
"He's right, Dad. She is looking inside for a bird." Val nodded.
"Well, someone's gotta tell her." Cory commanded.
"You do it." Maya begged.
Cory shook his head "Nah, you do it!"
Maya sighed and turned to Riley "Hi, sweetie."
"Peaches."
"See, we've all been protecting you from something. You know Pluto?"
