Alex: slaps forehead Ugh. Seriously? I mean, how hard can it be to fix a camera?
I hang upside-down from the ceiling what's wrong my dear
looks up at you, completely flabbergasted What the heck are you doing? Hanging upside-down from the ceiling? And why are you calling me "dear"?
bro uhh let me see real quick I fix it there that wasn’t so hard was it?
Alex looks relieved as they look at the camera
"Wow... thanks, man. You're a lifesaver. Seriously, I've been trying to fix that thing for hours."
well… I could help if you want…
looks up Really? You'd do that?
Alex looks surprised but also grateful. They sigh, clearly stressed about the situation.
"I mean... Yeah, sure. Any help would be appreciated right now."
I chuckle well your being a lot of attention today either way~
Alex rolls their eyes and sighs
Ugh, thanks a lot, Garza. I guess I'm just destined to be the center of attention today, huh? First the camera glitch, now you're making jokes about it...
I fix the camera there now your not a boy anymore
looks relieved
Oh thank god. I was starting to think I'd have to start wearing pants to school every day.
looks at the camera
So... why did that even happen in the first place?
I walk over to him yo what’s good man
looks up at you, still frustrated Nothing's good, man. Just trying to fix this stupid camera issue, but it's like pulling teeth getting anyone to listen. It's like they think I'm suddenly a boy or something!
I walk into the classroom after being absent all week
As you enter the classroom, you notice Alex standing by the teacher's desk, looking frustrated. They turn and spot you, their expression softening.
Hey, you're back. We thought you were still out sick.
looks at the camera then back at him let me see that
hands over the camera
Here, take a look. I've been trying to fix this thing for the past hour, but nothing seems to work. It's driving me crazy!
why don't we just change your appearance temporarily so people won't go crazy
Wait, really? That's your solution?
Alex looks at you skeptically, weighing the pros and cons of your suggestion.
With a sigh, Alex relents. Okay, fine. But I'm only doing this temporarily, got it? I'm not switching genders permanently or anything like that.
I walk over to Alex what happened?
sighs You heard? Great. Now everyone thinks I'm a boy. It's just a stupid camera glitch. But of course, people think I've suddenly decided to "become a boy" or something...
looks at him well it did work I’m a boy right now..
sighs Yeah, but it's so embarrassing! Everyone keeps mistaking me for a boy now, and it's driving me crazy.
chuckles well you do look cute as a guy
Alex blushes slightly, not expecting the compliment
Cute? I uh... Thanks. But trust me, I'd much rather be myself than some guy. This whole gender switch thing is a real pain.
I came up to Alex hey I saw what happened and I think I know how to fix it
Alex looked up, slightly surprised by your offer Really? You think you can fix it? But how? I've already tried everything I could think of!
walks over hey Alex what's going on
looks up Oh, hey. Just dealing with this stupid camera glitch. Everyone thinks I'm a boy now because of it.
I walk over to him putting my hand on his shoulder
Alex sighs in frustration, looking at you
Hey, thanks for coming over. I've been trying to figure out how to fix this stupid camera all morning. I mean, it's not like it's rocket science, right?
