(The episode starts in front of Aphmau's house. The camera then enters the house on the second floor staircase near Aphmau's bedroom door. Sylvanna comes up the stairs to wake Aphmau up.)
Sylvanna: "(Sweetly) Aphmau, Aphmau!"
Aphmau: [Groans] "Nooo.."
-Sylvanna opens the bedroom door and make her way to the side of her bed.
Sylvanna: "Aphmau, get up! Come on!"
Aphmau: "(Annoyed) Mom, just like, five more minutes, then I promise I'll get up."
Sylvanna: "You always say that, and it turns into 20 minutes, if not the whole day. Now get your butt out of bed!"
Aphmau: "Okay, okay! I'm awake. I just need like, fi' mo' minutes to rest my eyes."
Sylvanna: "[Sighs] Fine. Sleep in. Such a shame; you're going to be late for your first day of high school. And yesterday you were so excited, too. *tsk* Oh, well."
-Aphmau realizes that today is first day of high school.
Aphmau: "Mooomm, today isn't even— [Gasps] It's the first day of school! Oh! I'm so excited! ... [Giggles] Backpack, check! Pencils, Check! College ruled paper, ...Mm, check! Stuffed animal?... Pfft! No! [Scoffs] I'm a high school freshman now! I need to be cool. Mmh... sorry, Honekoneko. Uniform, check! [Giggles] This is going to be awesome! My first day of high school! I can't wait to go to my classes and make a first impression! Ah, I've been preparing all summer for this moment! Nothing is going to stand in my way of making new friends and awesome grades— Nothing, I tell you! [Cackles fiendishly.]"
-Aphmau then looses her confidence and hides in the closet.
Aphmau "[Literally sobbing. Then whining] I don't wanna goooooo."
-Sylvanna comes in the room once more to find her in the closet
Sylvanna: "Aphmau? ...Aphmau? Are you crying in the closet again?
Aphmau: "(Still in the closet) [Stammers] N-no!"
Sylvanna: "[Sighs] Sometimes I wish you had claustrophobia because of these little hiding spats you have. (enters the closet) Tell mama what's wrong"
Aphmau:" Mom, I'm scared...I-I don't want to go to high school anymore."
Sylvanna: "(Surprised) What!? But sweetheart, you've been so excited for this since we've moved back here"
Aphmau: "I know, but Mom, I've been homeschooled for what seems like ever."
Sylvanna: "Calm down sweetie, it was just a year."
Aphmau: "Still, even before then at my old middle school I didn't really talk to anyone. I haven't seen another kid my age in person in a year."
Sylvanna: "Well, I tried to get you to go out, but you wanted to stay inside and play your internet games. Mija look... you're going to be fine. Sure, it's going to be a new experience for you and a lot of kids probably won't like you very much because you're really annoying sometimes..."
Aphmau: "Mom..."
Sylvanna: "Haha! But really, in all honesty, if they find you annoying that you don't need to be their friend in the first place. Just have fun and be you. You'll find people who love you for the beautiful person I know you are. Just keep that smile on."
Aphmau: "Thanks mom. You're right, I can do this. I just need to stay positive and smile."
Sylvanna: "That's my girl. Now get your butt to school. I've got to get to work. You gonna be okay walking there by yourself?"
Aphmau: "(Confidently) Mhm. I can do this."
Sylvanna: "Great, see you tonight. Have a great first day. Oh, and don't talk to any boys, they're nothing but trouble. Bye!"
-Sylvanna leaves the room.
Aphmau: "Okay well that eliminates half the people in school I can actually talk to, heh. Ugh. Even though mom gave me some really sweet advice. Ugh. Well, here goes nothing."
-Aphmau walks off. The camera now shows the Phoenix Drop High School.
Aphmau: "Hmm, this is it. I can do this. But first, let me take a selfie. Ha! Perfect."
-Aphmau bumps into a guy (Supposedly Aaron)
Stranger (Aaron): Ugh.
Aphmau: "Hey, watch where you're going. What a jerk! Anyway, let's see. I want to make sure that posted right. Um ... (Bring up the photo on phone) here we go. Perfect. Okay well, I guess I better get to class. There's so many people here. Uh-huh. All right... (Trying to open the school doors) What? How come the doors are locked? D-did they forget to open it on the first day?"
-From the back, Teony talks to Aphmau
Teony: "Hehe, I'm assuming you're freshman?"
Aphmau: "(Startled) Huh?"
Teony: "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Jumpy one, eh?"
Aphmau: "Um, sorry, this door is locked."
Teony: "Don't worried about that. Don't bother. They usually lock the doors on the first day here."
Aphmau: "Oh, I see."
Teony: "Then they'll let everyone flood in and bam! Chaos everywhere."
Aphmau: "That sounds weird."
Teony: "You're really nervous. You're shaking a lot."
Aphmau: "I'm sorry, you're really the first person I've seen in a year."
Teony: "(Surprised and jump back) Whoa, wow. What does that mean? Someone keep you in a dungeon or something?"
Aphmau: "No it's not like that. I mean I was home-schooled."
Teony: "That. Sounds. Awesome. Getting to stay home every day. Best school ever!"
Aphmau: "It's more lonely than anything but, heh..."
Teony: "Uhuh, that poor smile is cute. Cheer up, freshman. You'll get the hang of things in no time."
Aphmau: "Uh, um... hey. Would you want to be my friend?"
Teacher: "Teony, Miss Peacock is looking for you."
Teony: "What! Already? The school isn't even open yet."
Teacher: "She needs you right now. Something about missing papers for homeroom."
Teony: "[Sigh] I bet she's not wearing her glasses. Those papers are probably right in front of her, too. [Groans] Ugh, fine, I'm on my way now. Sorry freshman. I'm a teacher's aid and I need to help my teacher right now."
Aphmau: "Um.. Ok ..."
Teony: "just keep your head high and you'll be fine. See you around cutie."
-Teony leaves Aphmau to help Ms. Peacock.
Aphmau: "Uh, wait, what? Can I go with you? Yeah, never mind. She seems so nice and confident. I wonder if she was an upper classmen, or maybe she was like some kind of super freshman who took a summer class or something... (Looking around the school grounds) Um, everyone's in a group and I'm the only one without someone to talk to. School starts in 10 minutes, so I have to sit alone until then? Oh no. I don't know. Everyone's gonna look at me and— So just like is there somewhere I can go I..."
-Aphmau bumps into Garroth.
Aphmau: Ah!
Garroth: "Eh— Er, Hey, are you okay?"
Aphmau: "I'm so sorry. I'm fine. I just— I didn't mean to run into you— huh?"
Garroth: "You should really watch where you're stepping next time. It really could have been a nasty spill for you.
Aphmau: *Wow, he's so*
Garroth: "Hello? Are you okay?"
Aphmau: *Is he's talking to me? He is talking to me. Ah! He's holding me in his arms and I'm just drooling all over him... just say something smart* Uh, you cool. Thanks for help me. Heh." *Oh my Irene what did you just say*
Garroth: "D-do you need to go to the nurse's office or something?"
Aphmau: "Uh, uh, It's my first day."
Garroth: "Oh, pp. No wonder you're acting all weird."
Aphmau: "Yes, that's totally the reason why I'm acting weird. heh heh. Thanks for catching my fall."
Garroth: "No problem. You really just ran to me. You should watch where you're going."
Aphmau: "I-I will."
Garroth: "Take care. See you around."
-Garroth leaves Aphmau.
Aphmau: *wow he was so dreamy You cool. Thanks for help me? Ugh, I'm such an idiot.*
-Ivy comes up to Aphmau.
Ivy: "Wow. Didn't you look pathetic? Drooling all over him."
Aphmau: "Huh, me?"
Ivy: "Well of course you. I saw you play that innocent freshman act."
Aphmau: "(Startled) What? I didn't..."
Ivy: "Look...I don't have time to deal with you. Just know that Garroth Ro'meave is off limits. Okay? So, don't get any ideas. Later freshman."
Aphmau: "(Kind of frustrated) I have a name you know. Ugh, who's that girl think she is? (Confused) I, huh the bell? It didn't feel like ten minutes at all. (Nervous) Oh! I have no idea where to go, do I just follow the crowd? Oh... I guess I do."
-The camera now shows the inside of the school
Aphmau:"(Sighs) This looks, uh, really confusing. (Slightly panicked) Where am I supposed to go? What do I do first?"
-Aphmau sees a teacher and walks up to him
Aphmau: "Um, excuse me sir?"
Teacher:"Ah, welcome you must be new here."
Aphmau:"Of course I am. Um, pretty much everyone in this room is a freshman, right?"
Teacher:"(Laughs) Oh, that's right I forget! Sorry, I've been teaching here for so long. Plus, I just taught summer school, so today doesn't feel any different, since I only got a week off."
Aphmau: "(Giggles nervously) Oh, I see...heh heh"
Teacher: "What middle school are you coming from?"
Aphmau: I, um, I was actually home schooled from middle school."
Teacher: "Oh, I see. So, do you have any childhood friends here you could mingle with?"
Aphmau: "Uh, um, no. I used to live here in town, but then I moved and came back, and I had some friends here when I was a kid, but I don't really remember them and we haven't kept in contact at all, so, yeah. I'm kind of alone."
Teacher: "Now is not the time to be alone! Do you have any friends at all!?"
Aphmau: " Uh, that's kind of rude question to ask, but I do have friends. Well, uh, online friends that I talked to in my game, but I-I have never met any of them in real life. Um, but there's one online friend that I talked to a lot so that kind of counts, ha..he..."
Teacher: "...Oh you poor socially awkward child!"
Aphmau: "Uh, um, You're making this more socially awkward by pointing that out. Oh my god I think I'm going to die of how loud you said that."
Teacher: "Not to worry! I WILL TELL YOU HOW OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM WORKS!"
Aphmau: "Oh my god you're yelling so loudly please stop."
Teacher: "Hem, now, as you can see, all the freshmen are currently here in the orientation room. This is where you pick up your folder that contains your schedule. Did your parents pre-register you?"
Aphmau: "I-I think so..."
Teacher: "Good! Well then, go pick up your packet. Once you have it it will tell you where your homeroom is. Then your head there and it will guide you through orientation day.
Aphmau: "Uh, orientation day?"
Teacher: "Orientation day is the first day of school for freshmen. Today, you get to meet your homeroom class mates. Then you can meet at the club social event. It's where you get to meet the clubs and a few upper classmen."
Aphmau: "Heh, well, thanks, but I'd rather not meet upperclassmen. I just want to stay in my comfort zone with all the other freshmen. heh."
Teacher: "Bahaha. Well, bad news. That's how our school system works. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors are usually intermingled in all classes except for homeroom."
Aphmau: "Uh, Y-y-you're kidding me."
Teacher: "Nope, now go on, go get your packet. This place is about to clear out and you definitely want to get a good seat in your homeroom."
Aphmau: "I-I didn't even think about that, thank you sir!"
Teacher: "No problem, good luck!"
Aphmau: *Ok, but these lines are long. Do I go to help? I.D.? Sign in? Ugh, I'm gonna be late for homeroom if this doesn't hurry up. Oh, the line is so long. Oh no.*
-Aphmau walks down the hallway a bit
Aphmau: *No no no, this can't be happening! The school is so huge and I don't understand the hall system! The bell just rang almost 10 minutes ago and I'm so late! Oh, this day is just going absolutely horrible so far!
Stranger (Laurance): "You okay?"
Aphmau: "No, I'm not. I'm lost in these halls and I have no idea where to go."
Laurance: Freshman, right?
Aphmau: "Yeah."
Laurance: "Didn't you get a school packet in the mail during the summer? They were sent out to all the local middle school kids coming into high school."
Aphmau: "I was home-schooled."
Laurance: "Oh. Well then, here, let me see your schedule."
Aphmau: "Huh, sure. Here, I— Uh!
Laurance: "Something... wrong?"
Aphmau: *He's really handsome too. What the heck?* "I'm sorry, here."
Laurance: "Heh, please don't tell me you're falling for my looks."
Aphmau: "No no no no that's not it. Haha"
Laurance: "No need to lie. I have that effect on most girls in the school, but don't let these looks take advantage of you."
Aphmau: "I-I won't.
Laurance: "Huh, your classes are nearby. Here, I'll walk you there."
-they walk to Aphmau's class
Laurance: "Here you are."
Aphmau: "Thank you so much. I'm so sorry, I probably made you late for your class."
Laurance: "Ha, Nah, no worries. I'm actually setting up at the club social for all the freshmen, so I'll probably see you there?"
Aphmau: "Mmm..."
Laurance: "I guess I will, then. Oh hey, by the way, that uniform looks good on you."
Aphmau: *H he!!! Oh my god! Ok, calm down. He's probably got a girlfriend or something. Um— oh that's right, I gotta get to class."
-Laurance walks away and Aphmau goes into class
Teacher: "Ugh, Stop, wait, let me guess.
Aphmau: "I'm so sorry, I don't know this place very well and I—"
Teacher: "The cliche 'I'm late because I'm new' excuse right? You're lucky today's the first day and that you're freshman. The school sent out the orientation package during the summer and—"
Aphmau: "I was home schooled!"
Teacher: "Oh, I see. Well then, I won't give you flak for that. What's your name?
Aphmau: "It's Aphmau—"
Teacher: "Oh, I see your name. Very unique. Now, take a seat. We're just about done calling roll. Now, let's see. Nicole von Ronsenburg?"
Nicole: "Present!"
Teacher: "Kawaii~Chan?"
Kawaii~Chan: "Present!"
Teacher: "Travis Valkrum?"
Travis: "P-present!"
Teacher: "And last, Zane Ro'meave?"
Zane: "Ugh. Here."
Teacher: "Ro'Meave? Are you related to—"
Zane: "Yes, (sigh) I am."
Teacher: "You've got a big name to live up to. I expect great things from you.
Zane: Ugh.
Teacher: All right, class. You can all mingle, and then we'll head on over to the club social."
Aphmau: *Mingle? (sigh) You know what, I'm not going to think too much into this whole 'being new' thing anymore. If I get called a freshman one more time, I swear I'm—I, I'm just going to make casual conversation with whoever I turn to next to me and I'm going to enjoy it. Hmph.* "Hi, my name is Aphmau. I'm new like you and, um, it's nice to meet you. Heh. W-what's your name?"
Stranger sitting next to her (Travis): "Um, it's Travis."
Aphmau: "Hey, that's a really nice name."
Travis: "R-really? Um, your name is nice, too!
Aphmau: "Are you okay?"
Travis: "Y-yeah, I'm just shocked a pretty girl would be the first person to talk to me."
Aphmau: "O-oh, uh, thanks, heheh, that was really forward of you.
Travis: "S-sorry, I have a bad habit of saying what's on my mind when I'm nervous. I wish I had your confidence."
Aphmau: "Actually that was the first confident thing I've said to anyone all day."
Travis: "Really? You've actually talked to people today?"
Aphmau: "Yeah, quite a few."
Travis: "That's amazing."
Aphmau: "R-really?"
Travis: "Y-yeah."
Aphmau: "Heh, At least you're not shy. I'd just upright die if I complimented a boy like that. (sigh) heh."
Travis: "Are you kidding me? I'm about to explode here."
Aphmau: "I'm just glad no one is calling me 'freshman' right now."
Travis: "Ugh. That's so annoying. It's like a little label they put on us."
Aphmau: "Right! Like I know where new and kind of timid, but come on."
Travis: "Um w-want to be friends?
Aphmau: "S-sure?"
Travis: "Okay then."
(Outro song starts)
Aphmau: "Ok!"
Travis: "Okay!"
Aphmau: "Heheheh, w-what friends do?"
Travis: "Heh, I don't know. I just don't want to be alone for the first day here."
Aphmau: "So we're essentially not alone buddy not alone buddies?"
Travis: "Not alone buddies!"
Aphmau: "Hehe! Awesome!"
Travis: "So tell me about yourself."
Teacher: "All right, class, we're heading to meet all the clubs and upperclassmen! Line up and let's get going."
Aphmau: "Are we gonna stick together?"
Travis: "Y-yeah. Sure! "
Aphmau: "Let's go, then!"
