August 1st. The day May dreaded. She slowly got out of bed and went to her suitcase packed with necessities for her new, male life. She grunted as she put on her new clothes. She bought them yesterday with Max, her 10-year-old brother. Well… that's not entirely true. She technically dragged him along. How else was she supposed to look normal when going straight to the men's department of different stores?


~Flashback:
"Hey, Max! Would you wear this?" May asked while holding up a pair of jeans and sneakers.

Her brother quickly replied, "No. I prefer…"

"Great!" May exclaimed and purchased them right on the spot. Her brother didn't exactly have the greatest sense of style. She glanced at his worn out sneakers and collared shirt. "Excuse me?" She asked an employee of the store. "Can we get this shirt in a size that will fit my brother?" May sighed. She may as well help her brother change his appearance while she was here.

After sating her ravenous shopping desire, she thought of a mental checklist while she sat in the food court. She noticed her brother returning to the table with the food. May's stomach growled happily. Then, she noticed a bunch of guys sitting around a table near her brother. Black, green, brown, purple, red, blue. She knew what she was missing.

The one thing I need to make this disguise perfect… she thought to herself is a wig! She dragged her brother and sprinted to the store.

Smack.

"Ouch! Watch where you're going you… Misty?" May said in shock. What were the chances of seeing her future roommate in Lilycove's mall?

Misty rubbed her forehead. "Oh, you're May? I'm assuming you're getting ready for tomorrow?" She decided to keep a polite tone considering May was going to be her only female companion for the next school year. Might as well be on good terms with her, right?

"Well, I'm Max. May's brother," Max introduced. He blushed at the sight of such a pretty girl. "You're her partner in crime, huh? You don't really look like a guy. May is about to buy a wig for..." May clasped her hand around Max's mouth.

"Shh. Don't go announcing that to the world! We need to keep this as classified information for... well... a long time," May whispered angrily into Max's ear.

"Really?" said Misty, unfazed by the close leak of their secret. "I was planning on buying a wig as well. Might as well go together, right?"

May smiled in response.

They spent an eternity in the shop. May really wanted blue hair, but Misty explained that it would bring too much attention to them. Determined to get the wig, she went into a dressing room, put on her new clothes, and placed the wig on her head. When she got out, she looked almost like a guy (she was too lazy to put on her bindings). Misty was quite surprised by how well she looked and sighed in defeat. She decided to let May get a blue wig, but only one that was dark. May victoriously left the store with a navy blue wig placed in her bag while Misty ended up with a short (well… relatively long for a guy) brown-haired wig. They continued shopping together until it was time to go. They waved each other good-bye as a new friendship was born.


~Sadly, that was yesterday.

Now, May was with her family in a registration room full of males. Her father didn't seem to mind, as it was his idea for her to attend this school. Her mother was a different story. She did not want her daughter to attend such a school at all. She finally gave in when she saw all the wonderful facilities and buildings.

May was sweating like crazy. How am I going to be able to handle this pressure when school starts in 2 weeks? Hey eyes spotted a familiar "guy" around the corner.

Waving to her beautiful sisters, Misty walked out of the car looking like quite a handsome teenager. Her windblown brown hair and aquamarine eyes caught the attention of many girls who were passing by. Excellent. Just keep the charade up for the rest of the day and then entry to this school will be a piece of cake. She winked at the girls walking by as she strolled into the registration room.

May casually strolled by Misty and said, "Hey Hazel."

"Hey June," Misty coolly replied.

After registering, the two wandered around the school. May randomly decided to "have a race" with Misty to the end of the hall. Misty pretended to sprint, but then abruptly stopped. She smirked as she walked in the opposite direction.

May, slow on the uptake, didn't notice this until it was too late. "What the heck, Hazel! I'm totally going to…" As usual, May ran into another person. Well technically, she ran into two people since she knocked over a raven-haired guy who fell on top of a green-haired guy. Blushing, she swiftly apologized and chased after Misty. Oops. Hope they're not students here... or else... jeez, I'm definitely going to get her back. "HAZEL!"

"That was weird," said the raven-haired boy as he grabbed his hat off the floor.

"Yeah. So get off of me! It's even worse that you're sitting on me," exclaimed the green-haired boy as he casually flipped his hair and waved at the people walking by.


Lol. Decided to do another chapter today :P
By the way,

Misty = Hazel

...As in Mist & Haze... kinda synonymous?

Also

May = June
