Mikan Skies [Pokemon Sun and Moon]

New Girl

Moon took a deep breath. She had recently moved to Alola and would be starting her first day at Hau'oli City Junior High School. Sporting her school uniform which consisted of a light blue button down shirt, red striped tie, grey pleated skirt and matching grey blazer, she adjusted her book bag hanging on her shoulders before entering the front door. The school was impressive, with early 1900s European style architecture that reminded her of the pictures she had seen of Lumiose City in Kalos. The halls were crowded with other students, and there was the general morning chatter and buzz as students went to their lockers to organize their belongings. Moon located the school office and headed inside.

The secretary sat at a desk not to far from the entrance. She had poofy purple hair and green eyes, and sported pink glasses that reminded Moon of the 60s. Seeing Moon, she smiled. Moon noticed a metal nameplate engraved with "Wicke" on her desk.

"May I help you?" Wicke asked.

"Um, yes. My name is Moon, and this is my first day. I was told to stop in the school office to get my schedule." Moon replied shyly.

"Ah, yes. Nice to meet you, Moon. Here it is." Wicke grabbed a sheet of paper from a pile on the side. "Your homeroom is two zero one. It is on the second floor. Go up the stairs and take a right. Your locker is four hundred eighty-five. It should be not too far from your homeroom."

"Thank you!" Moon took the sheet of paper and headed out. She found the stairs that were in the exact center of the school and walked up to the second floor. After locating her locker and testing the combination, Moon organized her notebooks and then headed to room 201. She entered to find the room mostly full of students. Most were in engaged in conversations. The exception was a pretty girl with long blonde hair and green eyes staring out the window her desk was next to. Moon found an empty desk in the middle back of the room and placed her bookbag on top.

"Hi!" Moon turned around to find a medium skinned, dark haired boy smiling at her. "You're new, right? I'm Hau!"

Moon couldn't help but feel at ease upon seeing Hau's friendly expression. "I'm Moon."

"Moon, huh? That's a nice name!" Hau grinned widely, placing his hands behind his head. "Are you new to Hau'oli City?"

"Yes. Actually, I'm new to Alola as well. I moved from Kanto."

"Oh, wow! That's pretty far away. Where in Kanto did you live?" Hau asked.

"A small town called Pallet Town."

"Cool! I live in Iki Town. It's just outside of Hau'oli City and also pretty small, but this school is much better so I go here. Do you live in the city?" Hau asked.

"I live in the Hau'oli Outskirts. Mom wanted a quiet place by the ocean." Moon explained.

Hau nodded. "Yeah, Hau'oli City is pretty busy and loud so I can understand why some people would rather live outside the city. I'm happy to help you out if you need anything. Better yet, why don't we become friends?"

Moon couldn't help but giggle a bit. She liked this Hau. He was so nice and open. "Sure! Thank you!"

The teacher then walked in. "Okay, everyone to their seats." The students scattered to their desks. "I'm happy to announce we have a new student join us today who moved all the way from Kanto. Please welcome Moon."

Everyone looked at Moon. She felt herself blush at the attention. She waved awkwardly. "Hi."

"I'm Mr. Ilima, Moon. I also teach English and literature. Please let me know if you need anything. I'm sure it will take a few days to get adjusted."

Moon nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Mr. Ilima."

After the morning announcements on the PA system, the first bell rang.
