"Homeschool, huh?" Travis asks as he turns the corner into the gym. Aphmau messes with her hands, quickly following behind the two slightly taller freshmen. You glance at her as she struggles to answer the question. She just satisfies it with a "Yeah!"

"That sounds awesome!" He turns around to face you two, which causes him to walk backward. You agree.

"It seems fun for a while in theory, but after so long it seems tiring.." You sigh, reminiscing on the effects of quarantine back in your world. You guess since it didn't happen back then in mystreet, it shouldn't happen here either. That gives you a small sigh of relief.

Aphmau's amber eyes widen at your obtuse response. She nods her head quickly, which causes her raven hair to follow loosely after her head. Taking a closer look at Aphmau, her hair does seem different than in the show. It's tied back into a ponytail with a small bow instead of the huge ass one originally. Which is, personally, a nicer upgrade you think. Her amber eyes also have a tint of green around the pupil, what is that for? She didn't have that in the original web series. You go to observe her skin, a warm hue reminiscent of toasted almond, with bandaids scattered around most of the visible skin on her uniform. It hasn't even been the first day and the poor girl seems tired.

"It kinda depends on how you go about it..." She turns her attention back towards Travis who looks confused. "I just honestly wanted to be alone and play my online games. I kind of regret doing that because I don't really have any friends in real life." She shrugs.

"Real life?"

"Well I mean, I have a couple of online friends and such, one of my best friends is online!" Her face immediately lights up when speaking about video games, Travis and you give a sideways glance and smile at her.

"I'm glad you weren't alone then."

"Plus now you have us, yeah?"

    Aphmau pauses briefly before nodding, "Yeah! You're both right! I'm not alone anymore huh? At least not anymore irl. What about you Travis? We both know about (Y/N)."

"I have one friend that attends this school. He's a sophomore and he's really cool! He dated two girls at one time!"

Both you and Aphmau look concerned at this comment. You honestly forgot about how Dante was presented in the show, you really just remember his Minecraft Diaries version, which was nothing like this sort. Maybe you can snap him out of it? Irene did say to change things, maybe Dante can be one of them...

    "Wow, uh, two girls? You think that's cool? He sounds like a total player." You nod along with Aphmau.

    "Not just a player, a total Jerk. Unless they all consented to the relationship, that's just an asshole move." You grimace. "It sounds like he was just taking advantage of them..."

    Travis thinks about it for a moment and looks to the side. "I never thought about it that way..."

You feel the wind blow nearby, which is very weird in a closed, indoor gym. Before you ask about it, you hear it. The wind begins to murmur a soft, delicate whisper through the air, brushing against your skin with a gentle touch. "Due to your acknowledgment, you rewrote the script of destiny."
