I have a secret that I don't share with most. I've been swept up into something bigger than anything I could ever imagine, and now I'm involved with more than just this one world. Our universe is bigger and more amazing than anyone realizes.
Reality...
As soon as my time transitioned me into the gymnasium, I felt Lumina's presence synchronize through my visual and acoustical senses once more. As expected, she was paying my surroundings more attention now that I was in this open space. Of course, she was also a little confused about the timing of the gym session occurring just after lunch.
"Wait. I thought you had gym class later than this."
Even I was having some difficulty keeping up with it all, so I explained the situation to her, reminding myself what my new modified schedule looked like. Basically, when the administrators were doing my schedule without messing it up, they still managed to screw it up anyway, though unbeknownst to me until this morning. The issue was with my elective classes, in that I was supposed to attend two of them on alternating days, which in itself seemed unusual. Lumina never paid direct attention to some of the sheets of paper as I have, and I didn't bother telling her about it until now. Because of this minor change, some of my classes were flipped around in terms of timing, mostly my later ones. My new schedule now looks something like this.

"I get it now," Lumina replied as I had explained after walking into the gym having already changed my clothes.
As another free day had been declared, I tried conversing with Lumina only after the initial exercises were over and after I started my aimless walking. "Let's stay focused now." I started pointing my eyes all around the room as if they were lasers under my control, trying to find a group of people I might want to hang out with. They stopped on a small group of boys that were trying to build their own basketball team, still in the making. "Okay. Group A, the ones holding the basketball." Knowing that Lumina had full view of where my eyes were stopping on, I didn't need to elaborate any further on what I meant. I labeled them as Group A with the hopes I would never hit the final letter of the alphabet, not that there were enough different groups in gym to get that to happen.
"Avoid!"
"Uh, avoid?" I wondered what reason Lumina was going to give me as for why I should avoid those people at all costs. The tone in her voice was desperate and aggressive, giving her warning utmost urgency.
Lumina clarified her meaning while her sharp focus stayed on those sports players. "Group A, they're nothing but a hunch of dangerous heathens. Don't talk to them. Don't go anywhere near them!"
It was now that I remembered how much Lumina hates men, specifically masculine men. I can't think of anything more masculine than playing manly sports like basketball. As much as I found the whole comparison to be extremely absurd, I decided to ignore it and let this go for now, more interested in the original goal of our joint operation. If Lumina wants to ensure I have no guy friends, I can actually work with that for now. "Okay. Let's just skip to Group B then." My eyes trailed over to another small cluster of girls walking around the same way I have been since the start of gym, talking among themselves and laughing it up. There was a reason why my peripheral vision so quickly identified them.
