Confusion

Clara P.O.V

After what happened with that guy, I stomped my way to Professor Birch's class, ignoring the stares. After a few wrong turns, I eventually found my corresponding class. The class hadn't started yet, so I took a seat on the desk that was located near the window. The class was going to start in 5 minutes, so I decided to talk to Ninetales to kill time.

When the Professor came in, I was happy and surprised at the same time. I didn't expect him to be THAT Professor Birch. I'm guessing the Professors' of each region are in this school. Sweet.

I made my way up to him. "Hello, Professor Birch!"

"Yes, hello," he then looked at me, "Clara! What are you doing here?" He then whispered, "No one knows about you being the Champion, right?"

I scoffed and said," Of course not! I don't want swarms of people on my heels."

"It's nice to see you again, Clara. I know you're the Champion and all, but don't expect me to treat you nicer than everybody else."

I nodded and went back to my seat. The class started and the Professor began introducing himself. He was explaining his research when the door barged open and revealed a boy. Not just any boy, the boy that bumped into me.

"Well, well. If it isn't Ash Ketchum..." the Professor said.

Ash P.O.V

I was late to class, as always. I began running down the hallway when I finally made it.

Looks like the Professor already started. Shit.

I opened the door only to be greeted by an angry Professor. "Well, well. If it isn't Ash Ketchum..." he said. "Go take a seat. I'm letting this one slide, Mr. Ketchum, but don't expect the next one to."

I nodded and looked around for an empty seat. My eyes then landed on a very familiar figure.

It's her.

As I made my way down to her, all the other girls were saying stuff like, "sit down next to me" or "notice me, Senpai!" I glanced down and saw her Ninetales staring daggers at me.

Yep. It's definitely her.

I faked a cough and she turned around. The look on her face was hilarious. It was a combination of disgust and annoyance.

"Can I sit here?" I smirked.

She groaned in response and she grabbed the stuff that was on the chair.

"Thank you," I smiled.

She rolled her eyes and the class started.

"As you know," the Professor started," I specialize in Pokémon Habitats. I study their environments and adaptations regarding their type. That is what this class is for. Throughout the remaining year, you will learn more about Pokémon Habitats." He stopped and then started talking again, "You probably know, we have a new student. Clara, can you please introduce yourself?"

The girl besides me nodded and stood up.

So her name's Clara. Huh...
