August 25, 2016. LaRousse City. Morning.

A girl of about 16 years old walked out of her house, looking quite nervous. She fiddled with a red bandana in her hair as she slowly strided to her school. Her NEW school. Her name? May Maple.

She came from Petalburg city, having received a Torchic as her starter Pokemon, (A/N: Their Pokemon will be there, but just their starters. So for May: Blaziken; Ash: Pikachu; Misty: Togepi AND Starmie; Drew: Roserade; Leaf: Venusaur; Gary: Blastoise; Paul: Torterra; Dawn: Piplup)

Of course, now it was evolved into a Blaziken, and it was pretty strong on top of that.

May kept walking until she realized she was in front of her new school, LaRousse Pokemon High. Only certain trainers and coordinators got accepted into this school, and May was incredibly surprised that she was accepted. Her family though? Not so much. They, especially her 14 year old brother Max, were not surprised at all, saying that her travels made her an incredible coordinator and trainer. She was nervous; she had lived in Petalburg for all her life, and made many friends there. She moved into the dorms of the school, and it was her very first time truly staying away from home and her family.

May took a deep breath and walked into the gates….until she bumped into someone and fell down with them.

"Ow!" The other person screeched loudly, having been bumped into the left side of her body. May opened her eyes and saw a girl with dark blue hair, rubbing her left arm. She had pale porcelain skin. The girl was wearing a pink sleeveless dress, with black ankle boots and a black cardigan. To top it off, she had her hair done with two yellow clips and a white beanie with a pink pokeball design. When she opened her eyes, May saw that this girl had matching blue eyes. May got up immediately and held her hand out to the bluenette, feeling embarrassed about knocking someone down on the first day of school, let alone a pretty girl.

"I'm really sorry! I hope you're okay. Please forgive me!" May desperately asked, hoping to not make an enemy on the first day. To her surprise, the bluenette looked at her with forgiving eyes and a kind smile, letting May know she was forgiven.

"Dawn! Are you okay?" May heard a voice yell in the distance, and saw a redhead running over to the bluenette. She was wearing her short hair in a side ponytail, while wearing a white tank top, black shorts, and white high tops. Her eyes were cerulean blue, like the ocean. May looked at the bluenette and thought to herself. So this must be Dawn.

"Yeah, I'm fine! She just bumped into me, but she didn't mean it! Right…." Dawn trailed off, not knowing the brunette's name.

"Oh! My name is May. May Maple," May said, flustered because she wasn't paying attention.

"My name is Dawn Berlitz! And the redhead is my friend, Misty Waterflower. We have another girlfriend named Leaf Green, but she's not here right-" Misty cut in.

"You're that new student we heard about! It's nice to meet you!"

"Oh! I didn't know I was such a big deal…."

"Yeah! This school is hard to go into, so a new student is a big deal! There are only about 500 kids total that go here."

"What's your talent?" Dawn asked sweetly.

"Oh, I got in for my coordinating…" May shyly responded.

"Amazing! We're in the same field. Misty and Leaf are in battling so it's nice to have another girl in my field." Dawn sounded excited.

"Hm, how come you're here so early?" Misty asked.

"Well, I have to go meet up with Principal Cynthia to get my schedule, a map of the school, and my dorm keycard….Problem is, I don't where she is…," May looked around worriedly.

Dawn and Misty didn't say anything, but dragged May by the arms, smiling all the while. May yelped, "Where are you taking me?"

"We're taking you to the principal! We're gonna show you around the school too!" Dawn declared.

They ended up in front of the principal's office and entered it, May fidgeting her bandana and blushing.

"Hi Principal Cynthia!" Dawn waved at the principal, while May gaped at her appearance.

This principal was relatively young, with long blonde hair. She was wearing a pale blue, sleeveless button-up shirt and black pants. To finish this ensemble, she wore black pumps. All in all, May could only think her new principal was gorgeous.

Cynthia gave a kind smile to the three ladies that walked into the room. "Hello there Dawn! And Misty you too!" She looked at May curiously, and May blushed profusely. "And you must be May Maple! Pleasure to meet you! I assume you would like to get your schedule and dorm equipment," She stated as she held out her hand, presumably for May to shake it.

May reluctantly held out her hand to shake Principal Cynthia's. "Yes, I'm here for that…."

"Well, I unfortunately cannot show you around the school or to your dorm, but I'm sure Miss Dawn Berlitz and Miss Misty Waterflower will be able to show you around, correct?"

Dawn spoke up, "Of course! Besides, I need to see where she is in the dorms! Especially since I don't have a roommate."

"Wonderful! Here is your schedule, dorm keys, and a map of the school." Cynthia handed May a set of keys and two pieces of paper; one had a map of the entire school, while the other had her schedule.

May quietly said thank you, and she and the other girls left. They all looked down at her schedule.

Dawn suddenly spoke up, "Wow! That's awesome! You have the same coordinating, English, and History class as I do! And Misty has the same Art and Chemistry class as you!"

Shocked by her sudden outburst, May quietly said, "Oh! I guess we do…."

May then looked down at her set of keys. It appeared to have a red key, a tag with the room name, and another tag with her name on it in white letters.

"Looks like you're in the Groudon hall! And the same floor too, the 6th one," Misty exclaimed. "Why don't we show you to your room?"

"Oh...you don't have to if you don't want to! I'm sure I can find it with this map," May looked at the redhead sweetly.

"Nonsense! We need to show you our dorms! Leaf and I are in a dorm together, while Dawn's alone because her roommate graduated."

"Okay then, let's hit the dorms!"

The three girls walked to the Groudon dorms, and received many stares due to May's new student status. The boys gawked at the beauty of the three girls, while the other girls glared at them with jealousy, seething rage, annoyance, or all three. May stared at them with confusion, not knowing how her presence truly made others feel. She wished to get out of this hallway, where the stares of everyone made her feel like an animal. She bit her lip and led her sapphire blue eyes to the ground, remembering. Remembering what those stares led her to do. Remembering what she drowned in before.

This will have different POVs eventually, but right now I'm just keeping it in 3rd person. I am typing up the second chapter as I speak here. Have a lovely day, and please review!
