"In conclusion, our yearbook needs a facelift," Ethan smiled at the group of kids in front of him. Benny, wearing a matching outfit spoke up from beside him, "Or at least some serious Botox, which brings us to the photos."

"A lot of us spend as much time gaming as we do in school," He explained.

Ethan nodded, excitedly, "We think we should be able to use our avatars as our yearbook photos. Why look like yourself when you could look like a Level-25 Storm Ranger?"

Benny reached onto the desk behind him, grabbing a poster of a video game character, "I feel that who I am on the inside is better represented by Thor Angerheart."

From the back of the classroom, Y/n gave them both a small thumbs up as Ethan finished his speech, "Thank you to the yearbook committee for your time. We think this idea could take the White Chapel Rememberer to the next level."

A girl wearing an orange cardigan smiled at the two boys sympathetically, "Um...no. Don't think we're gonna use that. But thanks anyway. Sorry guys."

Benny ripped off his clip on tie, "I knew these wouldn't help."

The committee leader, Hannah Price, clapped her hands, looking around, "I propose we go totally retro and use this old-school camera for the student photos."

Y/n shrugged, eyeing the camera, as the students around the room clapped in agreement. Ethan sighed, "An old camera? That's how you're going to improve the yearbook? Lame!"

Hannah smirked at him, "Thanks for coming."

Y/n walked up to Benny and Ethan, her eyebrows furrowed, "Wasn't that your grandma's old camera? I swear I've seen it before."

Benny groaned in agreement, "Used to be. I sold it to her at a yard sale on Saturday. Easy money! Just sitting in my basement wrapped in a bunch of old blankets, waiting in the bottom of a huge double-lock chest."

Ethan rolled his eyes, making his way to the door of the classroom, "And now we can't use our wicked avatars for our yearbook photos! Thanks."

Benny watched the boy stomp away with a grimace, "Sorry! I made ten bucks. Goes right to the go-cart fund."

Y/n laughed, wrapping an arm around his, "Let's go, and by the way, you are never getting that go-cart."

Ignoring the heat rising to his cheeks at her touch, Benny huffed, following her, "I'm so gonna get it."

Walking out of the class, the three missed as Hannah took a picture of herself using the old camera.

In the school's darkroom, Hannah carefully pulled out the picture she took. Her brows furrowed as she stared at the picture which now showed her and what seemed to be another version of her as well, "What... is this?"

At the sound of the door closing behind her she quickly turned, calling out, "Hello?"
