I didn't want to do just one illustration because I felt it wouldn't be enough for everything this AU could be. So maybe I got a little carried away and included a few more things. For example:

At the beginning of high school, Carmen and Graham shared geography, history, and chemistry classes. Initially, they didn't like each other, especially because Gray made fun of Carmen's small size, while Carmen played pranks on him, though it was NEVER confirmed if it was actually her (when they started dating, Carmen revealed to Gray that it was her and how she did it).

In a chemistry class, they were paired up for a project, which neither of them was thrilled about. However, if they wanted to pass the course and stay in their respective sports clubs, they had to succeed. So they tried their best to tolerate each other and complete the project. This led them to realize they had common interests and even shared hobbies. From that project onward, they became closer friends, sharing hobbies, some friends, and little by little, they fell in love.

Now, about their sports clubs.

Carmen is on the volleyball team! She's a spiker, and as her character sheet says, she became the team's leader.

Gray is on the rugby team! He's best known for his speed, although he's strong, he's much better at speed. He was a little reluctant to be captain of his team when they asked him to be. "Too many responsibilities, mate," were his words. So he became vice-captain.

AND! I couldn't help but think of their yearbook photos! So here's what they would look like and the phrase they'd like to be remembered with.

I sincerely hope you like your gift! Thank you also for your patience, and you know how much I love your work! If you want to continue with this AU idea, go for it! It's your gift, and you can expand on this idea as much as you like.

P.S. I also made this page as if it were from a "VILE High School" notebook, in case you want to have it, hehe.
