Sunlight slips through the purple curtains of Aphmau's room. "No... don't turn me into a potato!" she mumbles, still asleep. Suddenly, someone shakes her awake!
"Mija, you need to wake up! It's your first day of school... and I made breakfast tacos~!" Her mother smiles, shoving a breakfast taco in her face. Aphmau reluctantly takes it while slipping out of bed.
"Don't forget to wear the uniform!" Sylvanna reminds her before leaving Aphmau's room.
'Uniform?' Aph thinks. 'I can't even wear my galaxy leggings?! Eeeegh!'
Still, she dresses herself up after finishing the taco and takes her silky raven hair out of a messy bun. It flows down her short person shoulders. Aph resists the urge to pick up her phone and rant to FC about the strict dress code, but if she doesn't leave now, she might be late to her very first day of high school!
Aphmau rushes up the stairs of the school in a panic. In her fear of being late, she does not take note of her surroundings, causing her to bump into someone like the quirky idiot she is. "Ah-Hey!!" She swivels her head around to face the stranger and is met with a tall, dark-haired, really unsightly man with an elderly-looking chin scruff. He seems rightfully upset, as Aphmau is the one that bumped into him.
He growls at her. Aphmau brushes off this really odd, inhumanly weird response, and continues to berate the stranger. "Watch where you're going you jerk!" He growls again and walks off angrily. Aphmau breathes in slowly to compose herself, not that it really does much, and heads towards one of the front doors of the school.
She pulls the handle. Nothing happens. She pulls the handle again, with more force this time. Nothing. She looks around to make sure no one is looking, puts her bags down, and then violently pulls on the door with all her might, putting her heels on the door and leaning back.
Nothing changes, except for the concerned and frankly terrified look of passersby. Whispers can be heard, something along the lines of, "Freak..." and "Oh my God she is actually insane??"
Aphmau stares for a second before the embarrassment sets in, and she awkwardly laughs and dejectedly looks down and picks up her bags. As she rises up, she is surprised to see a friendly-looking girl, smiling sweetly at her.
"Hello! I'm Teony!" She beams, blinkety blinking. Aphmau blinkety blinks back at her as well, before standing up straight. "Um..haha..the door won't open.." she chuckles uncomfortably. She tries to recover from her embarrassing first impression to this girl. "Must be my potato arms! ...I'm Aphmau..!!"
Teony blinkety blinks for a moment, obviously trying to analyze the correct way to converse with this strange newcomer. Still, her smile never falters ...It's a little unsettling. "...Okay! Well, you must be a freshman, is that right?" "Yup! That's me!" Aphmau responds.
Teony motions towards the door, "Okay! Well, I should tell you they usually lock the doors on the first day. If they let everyone in at once-single file lines are out the wazoo!!"
"W-Wow!! That sounds crazy! Hehe.." "Aphmau, you seem nervous, what's wrong?" Teony blinkety blinked concerningly. Aphmau sighed, "It's just...well...you're the first person I've talked to in a year.." An awkward silence followed this statement, with Teony's blinkety blinks only getting more rapid, concerned, confused, and slightly terrified for her wellbeing. After what felt like, or, was 5 minutes, Teony responded with a smile. "...I'm sorry, what?"
Aphmau shifted uncomfortably. "Oh, I was um..homeschooled."
"OH! Okay, that's not bad! You had me thinking you were like..in jail or something. Homeschool sounds fun!" Teony smiled.
