The honk of a vehicle woke Greg, who groaned and rolled over in bed. There was a knock at his door, and, still not wanting to get up, the young boy stuffed his head under his pillow.

"Greg!" a muffled voice said, and suddenly his shelter was lifted and he was exposed to the bright sunlight coming in through the window.

Gasping in surprise, he turned to see his mother standing by his bed. He laughed nervously.

"You're going to miss the bus," she told him, and the honking sounded again, this time impatiently.

"Oh, no!" Hurriedly, Greg jumped out of bed and rushed into his closet, appearing again in his brown pants and green lizard jacket.

"Don't forget your book bag!" his mother called after him as he ran out of his room, and he just barely managed to grab his bag beside his door.

His mother shook her head as if disappointed, but her eyes glowed with happiness. They had just moved to town over the weekend and today was her son's first school day. "I hope he makes at least one new friend," she sighed contentedly.

Meanwhile, two houses down, Connor woke up when he heard someone banging on his bedroom door. He jumped out of bed, wide awake now. He looked around, confused for a moment, but then he heard knocking on his door again and he hurried over there.

A girl stood face to face with him. "Amaya?" He looked at her questioningly.

"Come on, Connor," she urged. "We're going to miss the bus."

Another look, Connor noticed that she was ready for school, in her red and pink outfit with her pink shoes and a wing-shaped hairpin, while he was still in his pajamas. "One sec." He closed the door and went through his clothes, finding a t-shirt and jeans; he also put on a blue jacket and red shoes.

When he returned, Amaya was gone. He found her downstairs with his parents. The two kids said goodbye and hurried outside, glad to see the school bus still waiting for them.

"Come on!" Amaya made a dash for the large yellow vehicle parked in front of their neighborhood.

Connor was about to follow her but skidded to a halt when he heard footsteps. He turned around to see a boy younger than himself running toward the bus.

"A new student?" the blue-eyed kid guessed.

"Connor!"

Amaya was calling to him and waving her arms wildly. She gestured to the bus. Narrowing his eyes, Connor saw the driver impatiently waiting for them. She honked the horn again as if telling them to hurry.

Once on the bus, Connor and Amaya sat together, and Connor watched the new kid climb on after them.

"What do you think?" Connor whispered to his friend. "Should we ask him to sit with us?"

"Sure, he seems kinda lonely," Amaya answered, and Connor nodded in agreement as he watched the kid unsuccessfully look for an open seat.

"Hey!" Connor called out, waving his arms.

Noticing him, Greg nervously walked over. "Hello," he said awkwardly.

"Do you want to sit with us?" the blue-eyed boy asked him nicely with a friendly smile. He moved over to make room.

"Thank you," Greg stuttered, sitting down and glancing at the auburn-eyed girl with red glasses and brown hair who also sat in the seat. The three kids had no problem fitting in the seat together because they were so small, especially Greg.

"I'm Greg," he shyly introduced himself.

"I'm Connor," the blue-eyed boy responded, then pointed at the girl. "And this is Amaya."

Amaya smiled. "Hello."

Greg nodded in acknowledgment. There was a short pause. "So," the green-eyed kid finally broke the silence," name one thing you like."

"Flossy Flash!" Amaya declared, while Connor excitedly said," Master Fang!"

Greg blinked. "Oh, that's... cool. I like lizards."

The three of them stared at each other. Tension rose, an argument impending because for a second they wanted to prove which was better: Flossy Flash, Master Fang, or lizards?

Then the tension faded and they all burst into laughter. Connor playfully punched Greg's arm. "You're alright, kid."

Greg smiled politely. "Thanks."
