You've never believed in alternate universes—but now? You might.
Mike had left you alone in the woods. It was still daytime, so it was less terrifying than it would've been if it were night because night is dark and darkness is BAD. You've been looking for him for the past twenty minutes—and just when you thought you did, it wasn't actually him!
Okay, well... it technically was. Because the person standing infront of you is Mike Wheeler...but... a girl?
You would've thought he just decided to dress like a girl to fuck with you, or maybe turned trans for some reason while he was gone (which wasn't likely because you were pretty sure he's homophobic- and transphobic), but this girl clearly doesn't know you! Not only that, she has a completely different voice. So, Mike, but also not Mike? Guess this means alternate universe are real...
"The fuck are you looking at?" She asks you.
Oh, great, she's a jerk like Mike too. That should've been expected.
