(The episode starts by taking place outside of Maraya's house and zooming into one of the windows. Setting changes to Maraya's bedroom)
Maraya: (inhaling and exhaling)
(Alarm goes off)
(After she turns it off, she gets up and stretches)
Maraya (yawns): Good morning, viewers. I'm Maraya, and do you know why I woke up at 5:00 am this morning? It's because today's the first day of school. Yep, it's a new start to the new school year, and this year, I'm a junior. By the way, let's get this new school routine started.
(She gets up from her bed to go somewhere else. Setting changes again to the hallway and then after she goes to the bathroom to get her shower started, it changes once again to the shower in the bathroom)
Maraya: I'm so excited for my first day back to school, because I miss all my friends and teachers, and even my bus driver, Ms. Carolyn.
(Harp sound plays when a picture of her appears and then disappears)
Maraya (sighs): I love Ms. Carolyn.
(She continues washing herself after that. It changes again to the hallway where she walks to go back in her room)
Maraya: Ah, that was a nice shower.
(Setting changes back to her bedroom where she is getting dressed until she is finished)
Maraya: There, I'm all dressed for the first day of school. Now to pack my lunch, brush my hair, and then I can chill until it's time to wait for the bus.
(The scene changes to where she is waiting for the bus in the living room)
Lisa (not seen): Hi, sweetie. Waiting for Ms. Carolyn to come, huh?
Maraya: Yep, and I'm so excited to see her.
Lisa (not seen): I see, sweetie, I see.
(As soon as she turns back around to continue looking for the bus, the camera points to the outside of Maraya's house where the bus passes it)
Maraya (gasps): My bus! It came, it came! Ms. Carolyn, here I come!
(She runs out of the house to shut the door. But then, she opens it back up to say one more thing)
Maraya: Oh, I forgot something. Bye, mom!
Lisa (not seen): Bye, sweetie, have a great first day back at school.
Maraya: I will. (chuckling)
(After she shuts the door again, the setting changes back to the outside of her house)
Maraya: Here I come, Ms. Carolyn! Whee!
(When she gets to the bus stop, she stops running)
Maraya: Hooray, I made it! And look, there she is. (squeals)
(Brakes screeching, bus stops)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Good morning, Maraya.
Maraya: Good morning, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Ready for your first bus ride back to school for the year?
Maraya: Yes, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Then climb aboard, because we're about to rock and roll.
Maraya: Okay.
(When she gets on the bus, the camera points at Ms. Brenda standing in her seat)
Ms. Brenda: Good morning, Maraya.
(Scene zooms out)
Maraya: Good morning, Ms. Brenda. So, where am I going to sit this year?
Ms. Brenda: The same seat as last year.
Maraya: Wow, thanks, Ms. Brenda. (laughing)
(Camera points at the seat where Maraya sits down and buckles her seatbelt)
Maraya: Gee, Ms. Brenda, you are the best bus monitor.
Ms. Brenda (not seen): Thank you, Maraya.
(After her seatbelt is buckled, the camera points at Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: All right. Next up, we pick up Clayton, let's go.
(She starts driving again to go pick up Clayton. Scene changes again to where they arrive at Clayton's house)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Morning, Clayton. Ready for me to take you back to school?
Clayton: Yeah!
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Then climb aboard.
(He gets on the bus. Setting changes back to the inside of the bus)
Maraya: Hi, Clayton.
Clayton: Hey, Maraya.
Ms. Brenda (not seen): Hey, Clayton. You sit in the same seat as last year.
Clayton: Okay, Ms. Brenda.
(He walks away to sit in his seat. Then it changes back to the outside of his house when the bus drives away and back to the inside of the bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya, can you guess who we're picking up next?
Maraya (thinking): Um, Dylan.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): No, because I heard that Dylan and his family moved over the summer, so he won't be coming to Northgate anymore.
Maraya: Aw, but I missed Dylan.
(A picture of Dylan pops up and then disappears)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): But the good news is that we'll be picking up someone new that looks just like you. Can you guess who?
Maraya (thinking): Hmm... (she stops thinking) Oh, I know, it's Erin!
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): No, it's not Erin.
Maraya: Oh, then who are we picking up next?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): We're going to pick up a girl named...Sydney Holmes.
Maraya (shocked): Sydney Holmes? Oh, no, I've known her since eighth-grade in Madras, and boy, she was a bad girl.
(A bubble with a flashback of her and Sydney pops up)
Sydney: (vocal sounds)
Maraya (in flashback): Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
(The bubble disappears)
Maraya: (sighs)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Here we are: Sydney's house.
(Maraya turns around to look out her window)
Maraya (not seen): Wow, her house is sure big. (she is seen again) I just hope Sydney, Australia, doesn't come out to get on this bus and make my ears bleed.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): There she is, cute, not so little Sydney is on her way.
(Camera points at Sydney and her dad walking to the bus)
Sydney's dad: There's your bus, Sydney. Go ahead and get on it.
(Camera points back at Ms. Carolyn, who is watching her board the bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Good morning, Sydney.
Ms. Brenda (walking up): Hey, sweetie. Let's get you in your seat.
(She takes Sydney to the seat behind Maraya)
Ms. Brenda: This is where you'll be sitting, Sydney. Right here. Now, let's get you set.
(She sits in the seat behind Maraya, which causes her to turn around)
Maraya: Sydney's going to sit behind me? Oh, no, this is bad. (to Ms. Brenda) Ms. Brenda?
Ms. Brenda: Yes?
Maraya: I have some questions to ask: What if Sydney bothers Ms. Carolyn while she's driving? And what if she touches me or the seatbelts that are behind me?
Ms. Brenda: Don't worry, Maraya, I'll try to deal with it, because I'm the bus monitor, and you're our student. By the way, I'm sure you and Sydney will be great friends.
Maraya: Hmpt, that's what you think.
(Seatbelt buckles)
Ms. Brenda (not seen): There you go, sweetie. Now, let's get our other students.
(After the bus drives away from Sydney's house, the camera points at Ms. Carolyn driving but with her reflection seen in the mirror)
Ms. Carolyn: It's okay, Maraya. You're going to have a great year being a junior at Northgate, trust me. (not seen) By the way, can you guess who we're picking up next?
Maraya: We're picking up Connor next, right?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): That's right. 
Maraya: Yay!
(Scene changes again to where they get to Connor's house)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Good morning, Connor. Ready for the new school year to start?
Connor: Yep.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Then climb aboard.
(He gets on the bus and then the bus drives away again. Setting changes back to the inside of the bus)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Maraya, can you guess who we're going to pick up next?
Maraya: It's John, right?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Actually, that's not who we're picking up next.
Maraya: Oh, no, don't tell me he moved, too.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): He didn't move, but he told me that he's decided to become a car rider this year.
Maraya: Oh, but I missed him riding the bus with us. (a picture of him pops up) He was such a good friend.
(The picture disappears again)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): I know, but a new school year also means new changes. New changes that you have to deal with.
Maraya: Oh.
Ms. Carolyn: But here's some more great news: We're picking up another new girl and you might know her.
Maraya: Really? Tell me, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): You have to guess.
Maraya: Um, is it...Autumn?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): No, it's not Autumn.
Maraya: Oh. Is it Ashley?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): No, but you're close. Do you want me to tell you who we're picking up next?
Maraya: Yes, please.
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): We're picking up another girl named...Novalee Garcia.
Maraya (gasps): Novalee Garcia? Oh, my gosh, that's one of my best friends!
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): I know, right? One of your best friends is going to be riding the bus with you.
Maraya: That's amazing! Thanks, Ms. Carolyn!
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): You're welcome.
(The bus stops)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Oh, here we are: Novalee's house.
(Maraya looks out her window)
Maraya (not seen): Where's Novalee?
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Novalee should be coming any minute, which is...now
Maraya: Novalee! (squeals)
(Camera points at Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Good morning, Novalee. Welcome aboard to bus 158M.
Novalee: Thank you.
Maraya: Hi, Novalee! Aren't you glad that we're going to be riding together?
Novalee: Yes, Maraya, I am.
Ms. Brenda (not seen): Hi, Novalee. This will be your seat for the year.
Novalee: Okay. See ya, Maraya.
(Novalee walks away from her. Camera points to the outside of her house until the bus drives away)
Ms. Carolyn: Off we go to Northgate High School!
Students (not seen): Yay!
(Ms. Carolyn continues driving away from Novalee's subdivision. Scene changes once again to where they get to the school)
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): Here we are, students. (she is seen again) Bye, Maraya.
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn.

(After Jonathan gets off the bus, Sydney walks up to her)

(When Sydney gets off the bus, Ms. Carolyn and Ms. Brenda wave at her. Scene changes to where they get inside)
Ms. Ryan: Good morning, Maraya and Novalee. Are you ready to go to class?
Both: Yeah!
Ms. Ryan: Then let's go.
(Maraya, Novalee, and Erin follow Ms. Ryan to the classroom. When Ms. Ryan and the others turn, Maraya speaks up to her)
Maraya: Um, Ms. Ryan, our classroom is this way, not that way.
Ms. Ryan: Maraya, room 741 is not our classroom anymore. Instead, the school decided to turn it into a computer lab.
Maraya: What? Then where's our new classroom?
Ms. Ryan: Let me show you. After you turn, the classroom is in the left building, called the 400 building.
Maraya: Oh.
(Ms. Ryan holds the door for the students)
Girls: Thank you, Ms. Ryan.
Ms. Ryan: You're welcome, darlings.
(After she shuts the door, the setting changes to the inside of the building)
Ms. Ryan: Now after you enter this building, you just turn left and here you are.
Girls: Whoa.
Maraya: So this is where our new classroom is?
Ms. Ryan: Yes, Maraya. Our new classroom is now room 401 instead of 741.
Girls: Whoa.
Ms. Ryan: Well, girls, let's go in.
Girls: Okay, Ms. Ryan.
(When Ms. Ryan unlocks and opens the door, everyone comes in and sees the other students sitting)
Others: Hello!
Ms. Ryan: Well, hello, darlings. Nice to see you all. (to girls) Now, girls, put your stuff away and find your seats.
(They walk to their cubbies to put their stuff away. Then they find their seats)
Erin: Look, Maraya, I'm going to sit next to you.
Novalee: Oh, me, too. Look!
(Camera points at Novalee's label and then back at the girls)
Erin: Wow, nice, Nova.
(After Maraya and Novalee give Erin a high five each, they all sit down in their seats. Camera points at another area of the classroom)
Ms. Sherrit: Hello, class, welcome back to school. Did you all have a great summer?
Students (not seen): Yeah!
Ms. Sherrit: That's great. And it looks like that we have a lot of newbies that are going to be in our class this year. For those who don't know who we are, I'm Ms. Sherrit, and this is my paraprofessional, Ms. Ryan.
Ms. Ryan: Hello!
Ms. Sherrit: And also, we have a new paraprofessional who's going to be with us this year, too: Mr. Eric.
(Mr. Eric waves at the camera)
Students: Hello, Mr. Eric. 
Ms. Sherrit: Now, class, you're going to introduce yourself to some of your new classmates and Mr. Eric so they'll know who you are. And we're going to do this clockwise, starting with you.
Maraya: I'm Maraya.
Erin: I'm Erin.
Novalee: My name is Novalee.
Anna: Hello, I'm Anna.
Emily: Hi, my name is Emily.
James: Hi, I'm James.

Jalen: Hey, the name's Jalen.
Ashley: I'm Ashley.
Nick: Hello, my friends. I'm Nick.
Ms. Ryan: It's nice to meet you all.
Ms. Sherrit: Yes, nice to meet you. And the first thing we're going to be discussing about is morning jobs.
Students: Aw...
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Maraya, you're going to be doing the morning dishes, and Emily, you'll be doing the morning laundry.
Emily: Okay, Ms. Sherrit.
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Tori, you're going to be the morning courier.
Tori (not seen): All right, Ms. Sherrit.
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Erin, you're going to be the calendar girl for the morning.
Erin: Okey dokey, Ms. Sherrit. (smiles)
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): And Jalen, you'll be doing the class attendance for your morning job.
Jalen: Okay.
Ms. Sherrit: Now that we have discussed over it, you all may get started with your morning jobs.
(The five students get up from their chairs to do their morning jobs. Camera points at the classroom door where Maraya, Emily, and Tori go out. Scene changes again to where they get to room 209)
Emily: Okay, Maraya, we're here. Let's do our morning jobs.
Maraya: All righty, Emily.
(They go in another room to do their morning jobs. Setting changes to the kitchen where Maraya sees Ivan)
Maraya: Hi, Ivan.
Ivan: Oh, hey, Maraya.
Maraya: Aren't you glad that I'll be doing the morning dishes with you this year?
Ivan: Yes, very glad.
Maraya: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's put these dishes away.
Ivan: But we have to wait for our supervisor before we can get started.
Maraya: Oh, we don't need no supervisor to tell us everything we have to do, because we're very capable.
Ivan: Oh, I don't think that's a great idea for us to do that, Maraya.
Maraya: Of course it's a great idea, Ivan. And perhaps, I can be your supervisor and teach you how to do this, because I've done this before last year with Ashley.
(A bubble with a flashback of Maraya and Ashley pops up and then disappears)
Ivan: You can?
Maraya: Yes, I can. 
Ivan: Wow, then let's impress our capability to our supervisor.
Maraya: Yes, let's do.
(They give each other a high five while the camera pans to the laundry room where Emily and another girl are at)
Emily: Oh, hello. Are you new to this school, too?
Niki: Yes.
Emily: Oh, cool, so am I. My name is Emily. What's your name?
Niki: I'm Nicole, but you can call me Niki for short.
Emily: Okay, nice to meet you, Niki.
Niki: Nice meeting you too, Emily.
Emily: Now, let's wait for our supervisor because I don't think we've done this before.
Niki: Okay, Emily.
(Meanwhile, the camera pans back at Maraya and Ivan, who are doing their job with no problem)
Maraya: Just put that plate in that cabinet and then we'll be done.
(After Ivan puts the plate up and shuts the cabinet, they talk to each other)
Maraya: You did a great job helping me put the dishes away, Ivan.
Ivan: Wow, thanks, Maraya. You did great teaching me on our first day.
Maraya: Really? Thanks, Ivan.
Ivan: Uh huh.
Ms. Ryan: I'm coming, girls.
(Camera points at Ms. Ryan helping Emily and Niki in the laundry room)
Ivan: I hope we both don't get in trouble on the first day just for being incapable.
Maraya: Me, either.
(Washing machine starts)
Ms. Ryan (not seen): Great job, girls. Now, let me check on the dish people.
Ivan: Oh, here she comes, Maraya.
(When Ms. Ryan gets to Maraya and Ivan, she starts talking to them)
Ms. Ryan: Okay, Maraya and Ivan. First, you take the clean magnet off the dishwasher and stick it on the refrigerator. Then, you open the dishwasher and -
Maraya: Actually, we already unloaded the dishwasher. Ivan, show her.
(Ivan opens the dishwasher and Ms. Ryan gets amazed)
Ms. Ryan (gasps): Wow, you two did it without any instructions or prompting. (hugging them) Great job!
Ivan: It was Maraya who taught me because she remembered doing this last year with Ashley.
Maraya: Yeah.
Ms. Ryan: You students are totally capable of doing this this year. Oh, wait till I tell your teachers about what you've done.
(Maraya and Ivan give each other a high five and smile. Scene changes once again to where they come back in the classroom and sit down)
Ms. Sherrit: Now that everyone's back from doing their morning jobs, let's have some fun!
Students (not seen): Yay!
(It changes to where they are coloring pictures of rainbows)
Maraya: This is fun.
Erin: Yeah. What do you think of my rainbow?
Maraya: Looks very cool. What do you think of mine?
Erin: Very colorful. I like the pink clouds, they look like cotton candy.
Maraya: Oh, you think so? Wow, imagine having pink, fluffy cotton candy clouds in your world.
(A bubble of her colored rainbow pops up and then disappears)
Maraya: Aaah...
(Scene zooms out)
Maraya: Hey, Erin, let's do this next.
Erin: Okay.
(They push their rainbows away from themselves and do something else. Camera pans up and points at the clock. Scene changes again to where it is two hours later)
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Okay, class, get your stuff together for lunch.
Maraya (getting up): Already? Wow.
(After she pushes her chair, she walks to her cubby to get her lunch and then gets in line where Novalee is)
Maraya: Can't you believe that it's lunchtime already, Novalee?
Novalee: Yeah, time flies when you're having fun.
(Maraya follows Novalee out of the classroom to go to the cafeteria. The scene changes once again to where they get there)
Maraya: Wow, we have quite a lot of new students in our school. We have Emily, Anna, Jalen, Jamarcus, Tori, James, and Nick in our class, Ms. Pierce's class has Sydney and Esmeralda, and Ms. Martin's class has Niki and Autumn.
Autumn: Hi, Maraya.
Maraya: Hi, Autumn. (to Novalee) We get to make a lot of new friends this year.
Novalee: Yeah, lots.
(They start to look up and wait. Scene changes once again to where they are back in the classroom later doing an activity)
Maraya: Emily, do you have any pets?
Emily: Yes, I got a dog and cat.
(Emily signs her paper and gives it back to Maraya. It changes again to where Ms. Sherrit is about to have a discussion with the class)
Ms. Sherrit: All right, class, it's time to do afternoon jobs, but before we start, let's discuss about it.
Students (not seen): Oh.
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Maraya, Jamarcus, you're going to wipe down the tables. Erin and Novalee, you're going to wipe down the chairs.
(Erin and Novalee give each other a high five)
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): Jalen, you're going to be doing garbage. Ashley, you're going to clean the classroom's accessories, such as the door handles. Emily, you're going to straighten the books from the bookshelf while Anna straightens the tables and chairs. And finally, Tori and James are going to sweep. (she is seen again) Now, get to work.
(The scene changes once again to where they begin working. Then it changes to where they are done)
Ms. Sherrit (not seen): The classroom looks sparkling clean, great job, students. (she is seen again) Now, let's sit down so we can discuss about our fourth blocks we'll be going this semester.
(They all sit down in their seats so Ms. Sherrit can discuss to them)
Ms. Sherrit: Here are the classes that you'll all be going to. (not seen) Maraya, you'll be going to business class with Ms. Frazier. Jalen, Jamarcus, and Novalee, you'll be going to health and personal fitness with Coach Anderson. Erin and Ashley, you'll be going to dance class with Coach Garrison. Anna, Emily, and Tori, you'll be going to fashion class with Ms. Reeves. James, you'll be going to ROTC with Sgts. Wolfe and Dorsey, and finally, Nick will be going to P.E. with Coach Wickstrom. 
(Bell rings)
Ms. Sherrit: Class is dismissed. Go to your fourth blocks.
(Chairs pushing)
(Scene changes again to where Maraya gets to her class)
Lindsey: Hi, Maraya.
Maraya: Oh, hi, Lindsey. I didn't know you were going to be in my class this semester.
Lindsey: And I didn't know you were going to be in my class, either.
(Bell rings)
Ms. Frazier: Welcome to business class, students. I'm Ms. Frazier, your business teacher, and today, you'll be doing a few typing lessons.
Maraya (in her own head): Ugh, typing lessons on the first day? But why? Couldn't we do something more fun like relax?
Ms. Frazier (not seen): Turn on your computers to log in and then find and click on the typing program so you can do lessons 1-5.
(Maraya turns on her computer so she can log herself in. Then she clicks the mouse and starts typing)
Maraya (in her own head): (sighs) This is going to take forever.
(Camera pans up to the clock on the wall. Scene changes again to where it is 3:15)
Maraya (in her own head): Finally, time to go.
(She puts on her backpack and then gets up so she can push in her chair and go)
Maraya: I'm gonna go now.
Ms. Frazier: Okay, have a great weekend.
Maraya: You, too.
(She turns around to leave the room. Setting changes to the hallway and then outside of the bus loading zone where Maraya gets on her bus)
Ms. Carolyn: Hey, Maraya.
Maraya: Hi, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: How was your first day back at school today?
Maraya: It wasn't as bad as I thought it would, and after all, I made a lot of new friends.
Ms. Carolyn: See? I told you you weren't going to have a bad day.
Maraya: Yeah, I guess you're right. Thank you, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: You're welcome, Maraya. And whenever you're worried about something, just ask your awesome school bus driver.
Maraya: I will.
(She walks to her seat to sit down and buckle her seatbelt. After that, the camera points at Ms. Carolyn)
Ms. Carolyn: Do we have everyone, Brenda?
Ms. Brenda (not seen): Yes, Carolyn.
Maraya: No! We don't have Connor or Novalee yet!
Ms. Carolyn: Maraya, Connor and Novalee only ride this bus in the mornings. In the afternoons, they ride the bus 31-L with Ms. Lisa.
Maraya: Oh, but I wanted someone to talk to me in the afternoons, too.
Ms. Carolyn: You can talk to me. And by the way, I know something that can cheer you up.
Maraya: Oh, what is it?
Ms. Carolyn: I'm going to make you guess. What's today?
Maraya: Friday.
Ms. Carolyn: And what do we always do every Friday on our bus?
Maraya: "Boogie Shoes" day!
Ms. Carolyn (not seen): That's right, Friday means that it's "Boogie Shoes" day. (she is seen again) Well, let's get this bus cranked up so we can do our Friday party anthem.
(She cranks up the bus and drives it away from the school. Scene changes once again to where they are on the road)
Ms. Carolyn: Okay, Brenda, we're on the road now. Hit it.
Ms. Brenda: Here's the song, Carolyn.
("Boogie Shoes" starts to play)
KC and the Sunshine Band (singing): 🎵Girl, to be with you is my favorite thing, yeah
Uh-huh
And I can't wait till I see you again,
Yeah, yeah, ah ha ah ha🎵
Ms. Carolyn (singing along): 🎵I want to put on
My my my my my boogie shoes
Just to boogie with you, uh-huh-huh🎵
(The music stops)
Ms. Brenda: That was some great boogieing for our first day, so give yourself a round of applause.
Others (applauding and cheering): Yay!
Ms. Carolyn: And now, let's drop these students off.
(It changes to where they get to Sydney's house and then the setting changes to the inside of the bus)
Ms. Brenda: Okay, sweetie, you're here. Have a great weekend.
Sydney's dad (not seen): Come on, baby.
(Sydney gets off the bus to see her dad)
Ms. Carolyn: Bye-bye, Sydney. You have a great weekend, okay?
Sydney's dad (not seen): (laughing)
Ms. Carolyn: (laughing)
(She turns around to shut the door and the setting changes back to outside of Sydney's house as she drives away. The scene changes again to where they gets to the next bus stop, which is Maraya's house. Setting changes back to the inside of the bus after)
Ms. Carolyn: Well, here we are, Maraya: your house. Since Cody's taking another week of summer vacation, you'll be a little earlier, starting next week.
Maraya: Okay, Ms. Carolyn.
Ms. Carolyn: Bye, Maraya. Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday.
Maraya: Bye, Ms. Carolyn. You have a great weekend, too.
Ms. Carolyn: Thank you.
(She turns around to shut the student doors while the setting changes to the outside again. Scene changes once again to when Maraya is in her room)
Maraya: Ms. Carolyn was right. My first day of junior year wasn't as bad as I thought, and plus, I can't wait to go back on Monday because there will be some great memories awaiting for me to remember. (looks at camera) Well, that's all I got to show you for my life in school. See you next time, viewers. Goodbye!
