Moments of Yesterday – Scene 2: First Impressions by Cerulean Leader

A/N: I do not own Pokemon, as much as I'd like too.

This scene isn't a song-fic so yeah. It was previously the first chapter when A Different Day was still up and didn't want all that writing to go to waste (even if I deleted the other chapters without saving them…)

This scene takes place at the start of their junior year.

Anyway, enjoy.


"I don't think I'm ready for this, Misty…" a brunette murmured as she rubbed her arm nervously. The girl next to her, Misty, was fixing her fiery red hair into a side-ponytail as she tried to reassure her friend.

"Don't worry, May. Everything will be fine. We're juniors now, so you've got nothing to worry about." She answered. Though her voice may have been calm, the tomboy couldn't help but feel slightly nervous herself. Even though they'd been going to the school for two years previously, it was now a new year and junior year wasn't generally as free as sophomore or freshman. This was a big leap.

Tugging on her friends arm, the redhead dragged a protesting May inside the brick building as her shoulder building scraped across the ground.

After finally letting go of May's upper arm, Misty led the two towards the main office where they would pick up their schedules. Of course, they knew this year was going to be different, but they weren't sure just how much.

The line to receive the schedule wasn't that packed yet, and so, they only had to wait a few moments before getting them.

May raised an eyebrow as her eyes scanned the printed writing, trying to make sense of it.

Day 1 – Homeroom (C1-6), Maths (E4-2), Spanish (C2-3) RECESS, Art (Visual Complex, G2-2), English (C1-4), LUNCH, General Studies (C2-1), Drama (Performing Arts Centre, G2-1), Homeroom (C1-6)

"Ugh… Misty, what homeroom are you in?" the brunette asked, not looking up from her paper. Not getting a response at all. "Misty?"

Looking around, she finally spotted her friend talking to another girl. Shrieking in delight, she bolted over to the two girls. "Dawn!"

The blunette squealed and held onto her beanie as she bounced over to May, dragging Misty with her and pulled both of them into a trio hug.

"It's so good to see you!" Dawn grinned.

Misty smiled back, putting her arm on her friend's shoulders. "So, Dawn, how was Paris?"

"It was fantastic! The baguettes and croissants were exquisite!" she laughed, trying to put on a French accent. "It totally reminded of you, Misty. It really sucked when they said that you, May and Leaf couldn't come. It would've been way better with my best friends."

Misty's oceanic eyes softened slightly. "We'll go all together next time, so don't worry!"

Suddenly, she was pushed forward, nudging her friends as well who took a few steps forward to regain their balance, before turning to face Misty curiously before the two girls lips curled into a sly smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

May motioned for Misty to turn around, her cheeks heating up slightly as her sapphire orbs moved slightly to the left. Dawn's cobalt eyes were fixed on something in front of her, as her face turned a cherry red as well, the cheeky smile immediately dropping from her pale face.

"Misty, turn around." Dawn whispered, grabbing her right arm and forcing her to swivel.

She arched an eyebrow, as May stepped forward. "Who do you think you are to shove us like that?"

The tall figure whose face was at least three inches above her own smirked, flipping his emerald bangs as he faced her. "We don't talk to juniors. Unless you're him." he replied, gesturing towards a raven-haired boy in the middle who was smiling boyishly.

Dawn's navy blue hair was soon twirled around her fingers. It was a habit she picked up when she was either nervous or flirting.

She had her head down slightly, and was staring up at the boy on the left curiously, eyeing him. She was a boy-crazy girl, even though her mother thought she had grown out of that stage.

Misty turned her gaze away from May and the green-haired teen to face the one in the middle as May occupied herself with arguing with him. Her oceanic eyes arose to look at the raven-haired boy, who was still smiling goofily as he ran his russet eyes over her figure, making Misty scowl and wrap her arms around her upper stomach in embarrassment.

"Stop that!" she shrieked, making him tear his eyes away so they made their way towards her face. Her eyes were flaming in anger, and this would be one of those times where her temper was lost.

Dawn finally focused away from the other boy and gripped Misty's arms back as she tried to lunge forward and tackle the boy.

"Oi, relax Red." he teased, leaning forward so that he was at her height seeing as he was a few inches taller than her as well.

Misty growled and tried to pull away from her friends grip but had no luck. "Misty, calm down."

May was still arguing with the green haired boy. "And so what if you're a senior, Grass-Head? You just think that you're better than the rest of us! You were a junior too, you know!"

"The names Drew, thanks, and I know I'm better than you." he agreed cockily in a bored voice, pretending to yawn.

This made May's blood boil as Dawn released an arm on Misty and grabbed May's. This was the problem with the quartet; they were quiet temperamental.

"Leaf, where are you?" the blunette shrieked as she dragged the two away from the trio of boys.

Finally, she stopped pulling them away as they got to the glass doors in which she released them with May rubbing her arm as she mumbled angrily under her breath about "stupid seniors" and "Drew is an idiot".

"You two need to calm down. They were just flirting, so relax." Dawn advised. Misty scowled and folded her arms over her chest.

"He was scanning my body like some sort of perverted idiot!" the redhead said through clenched teeth. Dawn just shrugged, who then glanced over at May who was glaring at her own fists.

A voice behind the trio laughed, and footsteps were heard as the voice approached them. "What happened now? Someone piss you off, May?"

The three girls squealed and tackled the bubbly figure into a hug.

"Leaf!"

"Guys, you're chocking me…" she said, her emerald eyes widening. Misty rolled her eyes and pulled the other two off.

"Aww, Misty!" Dawn complained, shrugging her friends grip of her salmon pink t-shirt. "You're putting creases on the material by holding it like that!"

The redhead cocked her head to the side in confusion, and stared at the' fashionista 'as if she just spoke a completely different language. "Ce que tu racontes?"

"Misty, we don't understand French. If you don't remember, I'm kinda failing…" Leaf said, pouting.

"Oh, Leaf. You're not failing." May comforted. "You managed to get it as a subject, didn't you?" she asked, seizing her friend's timetable.

Day 1 – Homeroom (C1-6), Maths (E4-2) French (C2-2), RECESS, Science (Laboratory 3, A2-7), English (C1-4), LUNCH, General Studies (C2-1), Art (Visual Complex, G2-2) Homeroom (C1-6)

"You do have it. And look! We're in the same homeroom on and we have the same classes for English, Maths and General Studies on Monday." The coffee haired girl grinned.

Leaf sighed. "I guess you're right…"

"You know, you could always apply for a tutor." Dawn suggested, tapping a finger to her chin thoughtfully. "I heard Gary Oak was actually applying as a tutor for community service because of that incident he caused last semester."

"Oh, lovely."
