(Pt.2) Ch.3: “Change Starts Now...”
• It's their first day of school, and even though their morning already started off crazy. They thought nothing else could get worse or surprise them. But what's more important was what's going to happen after...
Monday
10:05 am, Aug 2
(Camil and Moon)
Moon: V I'm so happy we ALL classes together!
Camil: right, I was like, "if I wasn't going to have classes with my bestie, I don't know what I would do"
Moon: good thing that our wishes came true, and what's crazy is that-
Camil/Moon: ITS AN ART CLASS!
Art teacher: everyone please bring your voices down; I'd like to introduce you to a new student. She just moved to Woodway
• When the teacher was introducing the new girl, camil looked over at moon only to see her reaction as if moon already knew her
Moon: BLAIR!?
Camil: you know her...?
Blair: MOON!?
Moon: oh my god..., "I thought I would never see you again" she said running to Blair
Camil: um...
Art teacher: moon please you can do that later right now we have class
Moon: oh, I'm sorry haha
Art teacher: Blair, you can sit down wherever you like
Moon: c'mon Blair you can sit over here with us
Blair: haha okay
Camil: moon-
Moon: Camil I would like to introduce you to an old friend of mine, Blair Miller
Camil: "uh haha...hello Blair" she said reaching her hand out
Blair: you don't have to do that
Camil: oh, I'm sor-
Moon: come sit! And I love your new hair and style!
Blair: thanks... a lot of stuff changes over the years but yet, your still loud as I remember
Moon: haha you should meet the guys
Blair: the guys?
Moon: oh, yea I forget to mention, we have a band
Blair: a band!?
Moon: yep and this right here is our amazing leader
Blair: really?
Camil: yea..haha
Blair: cool... so moon what have you been doing since camp?
Moon: camp ah...haha that was a good time
Camil: what camp?
Moon: that's where me and her met, but sadly after that summer we lost in touch
Blair: yea we basically only had each other haha, remember those bugs in our cabin
Moon: oh my god and they started appearing in our bed...ugh I was so paranoid
Blair: I mean it was disgusting
Moon: haha very!
• As Camil watch the two of them talk about their relationship and their past, she starts feeling insecure, not about their relationship but hers and moon's, almost as if she wasn't prepared for this, but yet again it didn't surprise either
Camil: hey um, I'm going to the restroom...
Moon: okay just hurry and come back I want to tell you more stuff from camp
Camil: haha yea...okay
10:35 am
(Austin and Leo)
Austin: dude this shirt is kind've itchy...
Leo: that's what turtle necks do I guess haha
Austin: I mean I guess it just-
Psychics teacher: BE QUIET!
Leo/Austin: yes sir...
Leo: "for the first day of school...it sure is crappy" he whispered
Austin: same, but it is the first day of school, thing will get better
Leo: yea...I hope, my mom is already forcing me to do this play
Austin: a play? ...already?
Leo: yea I think it's called, the West Side Story? I'm not sure
Austin: WEST SIDE STORY!!! haha dude that's a nice one actually
Leo: haha I guess...wait
Austin: what?
Leo: dude...maybe you and the dance crew can help on the set
Austin: im lost...
Leo: my mom said that this play will have dancers in it and like, I cant dance for nothing
Austin: oh no...I know that haha
Leo: shutup haha...so will you help me?
Austin: I mean sure, it sounds kind of fun, maybe the other guys would want to do it also
Leo: Great! You can tell the others, while I handle my mom...
Austin: oh, sure bro, but wouldn't she have a problem with that...i mean she didn't react very well when she found out-
Leo: the band, I know I know...but if you help her by joining this play, maybe just maybe...she can see we're not that bad
Austin: yea of course dude We'll will help you guys out
Leo: thanks bro
Austin: hey wait... why couldn't you ask terrin?
Leo: terrin? He's more of a -
Austin/leo: "street dancer?" they said in unison
Austin: ah haha okay I see
Leo: awesome, I'm pretty sure they won't mind right?
Austin: no way! they would love this offer haha
Leo: yea haha...um can I ask you something?
Austin: he's actually been doing nice...since he moved in, it felt as if he was a different person since we met him
Leo: yea...that makes sense, it's just...this is the first time he been an actual home since his parents kicked him out
Austin: bryce...he likes it here...I just know it. He would even visit my dad from time to time and my mom treats him like another son haha
Leo: that's good haha, and yea I believe he likes it here too
Austin: hey, what do you think he's doing right now?
Leo: probably sleeping haha
10:55 am
(Bryce)
Ela teacher: MR. MARTINI!!!" she said slamming the book on his desk
Bryce: what the...what was that for!?
Ela teacher: there will be no sleeping in my class, Mr. Martini!
Bryce: well good thing this class of yours only have 5 minutes left
• The whole class starts laughing at Bryce's joke, and as Bryce looks around at everybody, he notices the girl he saw earlier and how she didn't have a reaction but instead was reading the book the teacher gave them which left Bryce confused on why, she wasn't paying attention to him like everyone else
Ela teacher: oh...you have jokes now Mr. Martini?
Bryce: can you stop saying Mr. Martini?
Ela teacher: look I don't know how things went at your old school but this act won't be tolerated here, this is a warning, understand?
Bryce: "yea...I get it" he said staring at Sarah
Ela teacher: sense your new here, I would have someone help show you around. Maybe they can help fix your problems
Bryce: I don't have a problem...
Ela teacher: Sarah?
Sarah: yes?
Ela teacher: would you kindly show Bryce around?
Sarah: yes ma'am
Bryce: "great..." he said putting his head down
Ela teacher: there goes the bell! Everyone read 10 chapters tonight, and I'll see you tomorrow!
• As everyone leaves the classroom and bryce is still packing up, he looks up to see a girl with glasses, freckles, green eyes and short fiery hair standing in front of him
Bryce: can I help you?
Sarah: look I know neither of us wants to do this, so try not to be a troublemaker and just listen next time, not sleeping
Bryce: um im sorry?
Sarah: im going now
Bryce: "wait but aren't you going to show me around?" he said tripping on his own foot
Sarah: "no" she said pushing up her glasses
Bryce: well can you just slow down and just-
Sarah: well can you stop following me?
Bryce: you know for a biker girl you sure seem different...
• Sarah froze once she heard those words come out his mouth. But Bryce knew what he saw and what he was doing
Sarah: "you don't know anything..." she said running up to him
Bryce: I know everything
Sarah: who are you...
Bryce: what? ...you don't remember anything don't you
Sarah: I said who are you!?
Bryce: "I won't lie, I might just have to give you props haha" he said clapping
Sarah: what are you even talking about...
Bryce: "you know...I never knew someone like you can cover up so much..." he said walking away. Good luck keeping up with it!
Sarah: ...why does he look so familiar?

Girl #1: yea it must be a shame being someone like him
Girl #2: I think he is handsome
Boy #2: of course you do, I heard that they are never going to get anywhere
Boy # 1: haha I bet
• As the whispers of the rumors go around the room, it starts to make cameron feel some type of way but he decides to hold it in because he knew he didn't have much energy to keep entertaining this
Layla: see what happens when you start going after what you want?
Cameron: don't start layla
Layla: "eh it's not my problem, I'm not the one being tossed around" she said filing her nails

Austin: haha now that was funny
Terrin: haha but yea...he just this dude who doesn't know when to quit
Bryce: is that so?
Jason: yea he crossed the line this morning with camil
• The room went silent when Jason mentioned what happened, Cameron looked over at Camil, knowing he had to change the subject quickly
Bryce: what happened?
Cameron: anyone want to get something to eat? I'm starving
Camil: cameron...don't
Cameron: "okay..." he said sitting down
Bryce: someone fill in?
Jason: he basically...called her out
Moon: camil...? You don't have to say anything...
Camil: no, it's okay... "he started...body shaming me...saying stuff about my weight and how I looked..." she said as her voice gets quieter
Bryce: "what!?" he said getting up from the couch. He did what!?
Austin: she said he-
Bryce: I know what she said...Camil you're going to let him do that!?
Camil: I didn't know what to do...i couldn't do anything I just-

Jason/terrin: same dude
Alex/austin: I would love to see how this plans out
Moon/leo: we are in too! We're not going to let someone hurt one of our friends, especially our leader
Bryce: camil...? I won't have someone try to ruin you or any of us. we are one, but not without you. And if this means we have to do whatever it takes, so be it...so are you with us?
• Camil looks around the room, the secret studio inside the IN, where they made their first song. And then she looks at everyone and knew, that she wasn't alone, she never was. She knew that her and everyone else didn't want to be mocked, push around and bullied anymore. She was going to do whatever it takes to have their voices be heard...one way or another. Because that's what a leader does
Camil: ...what's the plan?
