In this story, Alex is you.
Help him navigate his life through this difficult time.
[[Let's go!]]
=><=
Your outfit worked!
A trendy guy with totally awesome shoes spoke to you.
He invites you to a party for all of the newcomers.
But you're not really a party person...
[[I'll be there.]]
[[Stay home.]]==>
You had a peaceful day at schooll
just rocking back and forth on your seat.
No one talked to you today.
You wonder what you should do after school.
==>
[[Stay home.]]=><=
Your outfit worked! A cool person talked to you! Yaay.
You talk to each oter for an hour after school and you get invited to a party.
Is it a good idea for you to go?
You're not used to partying.
=><=
[[Stay home.]]
[[I'll be there.]] =><=
After you arrive, you realise you overestimated your social skills.
You're standing in a dark corner wwhile everyone else is having fun.
=><=
[[Drinking helps with stuff like this, right?]]
[[Stay where you are, maybe someone will talk to you on their own.]]
[[Try looking around to find interesting people to befriend. But isn't that a bit creepy?]]You are bored. Maybe you should check out social media to see what's up with the party everyone kept talking about.
[[Look on social media]]
to see what you actually missed.
[[Do your own thing.]]
Why would something
like that even interest me?==>
Oh, This isn't good.
You got waaay too drunk.
Now everyone jusk looks at you weird.
One person that was laughing at you
comes up to you
and hands you some pills.
==>
[[Take them.]]
[[Don't take them.]]
==>
It seems that without your own iniciative, no one will talk to you.
This is a sad realisation gives you two ideas.
==>
[[Go home alone.]]
[[Maybe drinking wasn't actually such a bad idea...]]=><=
You spotted a group of people
that look really friendly!
Should you try talking to them?
Would they let
a random person join them?
=><=
[[Talk to them anyway.]]
[[Leave them alone. It would be rude to disturb them now.]]==>
This wasn't a good idea.
Everyone is posting on instagram stories
how awesome the party is.
Even the school account.
Why didn't you go?
==>
(link:"Start Over")[(goto:"Welcome")]==>
That's right! Why would you ruin your day
with looking at other people's socials?
You'd probably just get sad you didn't go to the party too.
Sometimes it's better to just go to sleep.
You didn't really make any friends on the first day
but it's not the end of the world.
Maybe next time you'll have the courage
to go to someone and talk to them yourself.
And it doesn't need to be at a party
if you don't want to go.
==>
(link:"Start Over")[(goto:"Welcome")]You mustered up all your courage to come up to them.
It turns out you were right! They ARE friendly.
You spent the whole night with them.
[[New friends acquired! Yay!]]==>
No one talked to you
the whole night.
You ran to the bathrooms
and locked yourself up.
You feel incredibly alone.
==>
[[Go home alone.]]==>
You decided it is best to just go home. Today wasn't your day.
Next time you'll know that you don't need to force yourself
to go to a party if you don't feel like it.
You would't miss out on anything.
''Never let FOMO get to you.''
==>
(link:"Start Over")[(goto:"Welcome")]==>
Oh, This isn't good. Why did you change your mind?
You got waaay too drunk.
Now everyone jusk looks at you weird.
One person that was laughing at you
comes up to you
and hands you some pills.
==>
[[Take them.]]
[[Don't take them.]]
It is the firs day of school. Oh no!
You will meet your new classmates for the first time
and that means only one thing.
What will you wear to make a good first impression?
Choose wisely!
[[1. Something trendy and expensive to fit in with the cool kids]]
[[2. Something basic, so no one could possibly judge you.]]
[[3. Something you actually made yourself! It shows your personality.
But what if others will think it's weird?]]What were you even thining? Trying to fit in like this isn't good for anyone.
You were lucky this time, you'll be fine in the morning,
but things like these often end badly.
''Never let FOMO get to you like this.''
(link:"Start Over")[(goto:"Welcome")]==>
Good Call, but you still went overboard with the alcohol.
You should be happy you even managed to get home somehow.
Don't push yourself like this because you want to be more popular.
''Never let FOMO get to you like this.''
==>
(link:"Start Over")[(goto:"Welcome")]You exchanged contacts
and now you have new friends.
All you actually had to do is
to talk to someone yourself.
That can be hard for certain people,
but you managed it anyway!
You didn't have to go to a party to do that,
but it ended up being quite a memorable night.
