Arianna-Grace P.O.V
"Somebody read that" Cory said pointing to the board
""History will be kind to me for I intend to write it" Winston Churchill" Lucas read
"And he did. Who's gonna write their own history here? What is history? I keep forgetting" Cory said
"History is time passing" Riley answered
"Oh yeah? How much time? Someone once said, "100 years from now, all new people."" Cory replied
Maya raised her hand. Cory picked on her
"100 years" She answered confidently
"Wrong!" Cory laughed
"You set me up" maya glared pointing to Cory
"When should you guys begin to make your own history?" He asked
"Right now" I smiled
"Good. So, today we're talking about Winston Churchill. When the new people come, how do you want them talking about you?" He pushed
"Nicely" Riley answered with a smile
"How long do we have before history makes its decision about us?" Maya questioned
"What if they're writing it now?" Farkle asked
"Doesn't matter. Chapter one: Introduction. Please read" Cory said. We all turned our books to that page.
"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 read
"Oh" the class realised
"What?" Riley asked
"Nice job Mr Matthews" Lucas grinned
"What'd he do?" Riley asked
"He just showed us history books can be wrong. You can change history" Nathan told her
"I don't get it" Riley was beyond confused
"How can she not know?" Nathan asked
"Look at the bird" maya pointed in a random direction. Riley started looking for this imaginary bird
"She doesn't know, because she has us" I said
"The Riley Committee" Farkle said
"The committee exists to keep certain information away from Riley" maya said
"Like what?" Lucas asked
"Everything really" I shrugged
"Listen, this committee can't protect her for the rest of her life. She's getting too smart" Cory interjected
"She's looking for a bird" I deadpanned
"Someone's gotta tell her" Cory continued
"Not it!" I yelled. I was not going to be the one that destroyed Riley's hope
"You do it!" Maya pointed to Cory
"No, you do it!" Cory pointed back at maya
"Hi sweetie" maya got Riley's attention
"Hi peaches" Riley replied
"See, we've all been protecting you from something. You know Pluto?" Maya said
"Pluto? I love Pluto. Everybody knows that. Pluto's a little cutie-pie. The smallest planet with the biggest heart. I love Pluto so much, I would kiss it on the face" Riley grinned
