== Summary ==
Henry and Ben are riding in a car with Stanley, on their way to their first day at East Thornvale Academy. Henry is of the opinion that he doesn't need to be in school, but his dad has insisted he needs some kind of 'normal' in his life. Stanley tells Henry this is supposed to be a 'big, fancy, smart kid' school so he should be fine. 
Henry is starting 10th grade and Ben is starting 12th. Henry heads to locker 217. He's brought some decorations - a logo sticker for his YouTube channel, retro gaming stickers, and a section of a ripped shirt taped to the back. As he closes his locker, the locker next to him also closes. Henry looks over to see a short girl with a pixie cut that is dyed purple. She has black earrings from the tip to the lobe of her right ear. She comments on how tall Henry is and then apologizes. She introduces herself as River. Henry puts his hand out and they shake. Henry compliments her hair color and River compliments the blue band around his arm. Henry gets uncomfortable and looks away. 
Henry and River say goodbye and then find themselves walking the same direction. River asks what his first class is and Henry answers with English. River says she's going to English too. As they arrive, there are only two seats left. They sit beside each other in the classroom. River sets up at her desk and gets out a bright collection of gel pens to take notes with.
