This is mentioned in late Season 4 by Fitz, when he's talking to Ophelia on the beach after waking up from the Framework. It stuck out in my mind, because AIDA specifically switched Simmons out with herself in that one moment. I interpreted that as a change made by AIDA in the Framework but it didn't happen for real. Like in real timeline, Simmons thought about but didn't introduce herself to Fitz on their first day so they didn't meet until they were in their 2nd year, age 16. But for the Framework, AIDA saw that memory and changed it so she was at the Academy, too, and introduced herself to Fitz on the first day and it dovetailed from there. And essentially in the Framework, he never knew Simmons.

For reference: AIDA said, "Every decision you made was your own. Besides restoring your relationship with your father, the only other change I made in your life was introducing myself. Fitz says, "First day of classes at the Academy." AIDA says "Befriending you, trying to understand what it felt like to connect with someone but I wasn't actually able to feel anything until today."
