Now she has to help Devin go back to college and prove to her mom that she can take care of herself. But when Devin runs into trouble with his program and returns home, it's pretty clear, even to Riley, that since he can't navigate his own life, he's going to live Riley's for her. She figures out that bus thing, totes the clothes down to the laundry room and sets up her D&D campaigns right there on the slightly suspect folding table, makes her own snacks and dinner- the whole deal. For the chance at a friend, though, she's willing to give it a shot. Soon, their party grows and with the help of her new D&D friends, Riley discovers that not only can she function without Devin, she kind of likes it. So, of course, Riley is more than a little nervous when Lucy suggests that she run a campaign for them. In fact, playing D&D was something Riley and Devin used to do together, with Devin as the dungeon master, guiding Riley through his intricately planned campaigns. That is, until a cool nerd named Lucy gives Riley no choice but to get over her shyness and fear of rejection and become friends.
