Carly Moore was having a terrible week but it was yet to be determined whether her weekend would be better.
Carly is given a Rubik's cube and she fools around with it, totally normal, right? Wrong. Any time she tries to solve the cube, she loses her focus, not only that she is transported to an alternate reality. With the help of her acquaintance, Gus, she tries to return the Rubik's cube to the combination it was before she changed it.
The problem? A Rubik's cube has exactly 43 252 003 274 489 856 000 different combinations.
"This should be fun." Gus teased, his eyes sparkling like their situation was a fun challenge.
Carly rolled her eyes before slumping against the wall. "I just want a reality with a bed, a blanket and my Spotify playlist."

In this strange, beautiful mix of cultures and identities, growing up feels a little less lonely. But then something changed. Something cracked the core of their tight-knit circle- A fight? A betrayal? Or something else entirely? Now, with trust shaken and the future unclear, the question lingers: Can they find their way back to each other? "We're different. But that doesn't mean we have to shrink ourselves to fit what society expects." - MacKenzie Gauthier
