your shoujo is beginning!

[Ah, high school.

A truly wonderful and inspiring time for all. With the school year starting, faceless students mingling about and chatting -- catching up over their summer, or grabbing their friends to congratulate them on getting into the world's top Pokémon Trainer's School -- with the cherry blossoms spinning in the wind from the rows of them lining the school's beautiful golden gates...

Yes, there's truly nothing better!

Except for perhaps the middle school just beside this beautiful campus; there's a small lake between them where the grades intermingle, and the excitement of the day - and maybe even the bell ringing to signify classes, lunch, or break! - is vibrantly in the air!

Just be careful that the principal doesn't see you with your Pokémon out! That would distract the other students, after all...]

[ooc: welcome to the high school au room! also middle school, if your character's not quite aged enough. with uniforms, cheery blossoms, and the exciting promise of an excellent spring for all classes and grades, it's sure to be a blast!

please mingle and thread amongst yourselves, and have a great time! if it's school au, it's free to go!]

It's so warm! [Guess who's totally skipping out on lunch in the classroom to have lunch on the roof??

This girl.]

It'd be better if I had some company, I guess, but... [...she didn't really have many friends here yet. Just a few. Hufff.] I can't let that get me down!

[It's too hot outside to be sad over not having friends!]

[ Oh there's company to be had alright. One dumb boy heading up to the roof to eat his lunch in peace, present and accounted for! But oh... what is this??

This girl, already sitting here...

The sakura petals falling around her...

The odd heat that only seems to worsen as he looks at her...

It all pools together, and he opens his mouth to say...! ]

This is my spot. Buzz off.

[What's this?! Company, as soon as she calls for it?

This boy, just standing here...

The sakura petals blowing gently through the spring sky...

How the heat totally intensifies as she keeps staring at him...

It's almost like. she could say..!]

I was here first.

Were not.

[ He says, flicking a stray petal out of the folds of his hat. This is becoming a bit of problem, actually, and it's totally ruining 'Plan Wear A Hat That Looks Like Hair So Everyone Will Think I Dyed It And'll Think I'm Super Hardcore!!' Life is so hard for him, really.

Also the heat makes it feel like his hair is in an oven. That's annoying too.]

I checked this place out before the opening ceremony, so I was here first.

[Oh, that does make him first... She can't argue with that! May sighs wistfully, brushing her hair behind her ear.]

Oh... Then I guess I'm intruding, huh? [She'll just stand up then. What a nice wind to flutter her skirt.] Sorry, I guess. Would you mind having company though? It's kind of pathetic to eat your lunch alone.

Wh--

[ Well that was easy. Way too easy, in fact. Now he feels like he just bullied a little girl off a roof. A little girl with a really short skirt he almost saw the--

No, no that's not good.

And now she's calling his plans pathetic! Which means he'll look pathetic if he refuses!! ]

Sure, whatever. [ Sitting himself down, thank you very much. ] You better be grateful though.

[Oh boy, that means she can sit down too! But... Not beside him, or anything. Just a few feet in front of him. They're not friends or even acquaintances, and she won't act like they are.

...Except, um, when she looks in her bag --]

I forgot my lunch.

[ Exactly; as long as they both keep their distance, this little arrangement will turn out fine. They won't have to talk, and he can live his life as the coolest little teenaged boy that ever

had to hold out one of his sausages (those super kawaii ones that look like octopi you know the ones) to the dumbass girl who forgot her lunch. He's throwing away his awesome and edgy veneer with every passing second here and he's doing it all unthinkingly.

Damn it all. ]

[On one hand, it's free food. On the other, it is the guy who tried bullying her away from eating on the roof.]

Can I really have it? [She's just gonna take it anyway so.] Thanks! It's really cute, um...

[She doesn't even know his name and she's ~~forced him into~~ having lunch with her.]

I'm May! What's your name?

[ He jerks a tad at the comment; his home-made is not cute, dammit!! It's the food of kings and tyrants and masters!!!! ]

Brendan, future Pokémon Master. [ He has to stop himself from saying 'it's nice to meet you!' or something equally unsightly.

He can only hope no-one finds out about this. It's not like they're friends or anything!! ]

["Future Pokémon Master" huh. May can't help but giggle, since --]

That's funny! That's what I'm going to be too. [Not only is this sausage cute it's tasty. She ~~violently~~ bites its head off and wiggles its tentacles at him.] Or, well, maybe I'll just take over the Gym or something... I don't really know.

[Ah, she's rambling. That makes her look stupid, and she's not going to look (too) dumb in front of an oversized brat.] Um, anyway -- it's nice to meet you, Brendan.

[ Wow don't giggle at his dream loser-- ]

For me, it's gotta be the Champion or nothing. [ He won't judge her for rambling, really. Partly becuase he's quite prone to rambling passionately himself, but mostly because he's thinking far too much about himself right now. Self-absorbed little brat. ]

Sure, the same. You've got a Gym in the family then?

[Wow she'll giggle at anything she damn well pleases dummy --]

Sorta. It's a new thing, so it's not like it's some big family tradition to take it over, but Daddy'd probably be pretty proud of me if I really wanted to.

[Lyra's going to join May on the roof. Mostly so she can let out her Meganium, who is all too thankful for the sunlight and heat.]

Ah, what a beautiful... [--That is a girl OH NO] Oh. Um! You won't tell the teachers about me letting Sprouty out, will you? There's usually no one here, so I take him up here so he can feed.

Oh, no, it's fine! I kinda think the rule about not having our pokémon out during the school day's a little dumb anyway.

[Company! Nice, female company!]

Me too. Sprouty's the only one I have to take care of anyway, and he's not a distraction at all! Except to all the ladies. Isn't he gorgeous?!

[Sprouty is quite embarrassed. Lyra coos over him, sure, but asking others that is weird. C'mon Lyra please not in front of someone new???]

He is, but he's definitely not as cute as Silverbell.

Silverbell's a pretty name. Who's that Pokémon, girl?

My Altaria!

[Come on out, Silverbell! Ah.... It feels so nice to be out in the warm sunshine~

Hi trainer. She's gonna sit on your head and hum happily.

....umm]

...They do this when they're happy. [Somewhat muffled.]

[THAT'S

SO

CUTE]

I wish I had one! That's adorable... Sprouty's petals glow when he's happy, see? [They're more vibrant for sure.] Though that could just be the sun.

[Silverbell sings sweetly, then carefully decides to settle on Sprouty. May giggles and nods.]

It might be both. I mean, if I was a big flower... beast thing, I'd be pretty happy to be out in the sun, too!

[Sprouty's not sure how to feel.

Um.

Hello birdy. Hum?? He'll hum.]

It's always sunny around here, so he's always happy. I get my energy from it too.
