Newt's shirt x pants x watch x sneakers
It felt weird for Newt coming back to Metric with only Nora and not Nacho. And it felt even weirder that he wouldn't even be sharing a dorm with his sister. He knew there was a new rule about not co-ed at all, but why couldn't they just make an exception for siblings? It just felt weird to Newt. He'd like to have at least one thing stay the same. Even if he didn't want to spend all of his time with Nora, at least he knew her. Newt didn't really meet a lot of new people at Metric his first year. And anyone he did meet that were in his major were just...well, not his type of friends. Aside from the fact that Nora hated Shyanne and her crew, Newt wasn't particularly crazy about them either. Like, he could work backstage and play his video game at the same time. Geez.
Fortunately Newt had made one friend at Metric and that was Savannah. She was so nice and pretty and friendly and chill and into Pokémon.... He was looking forward to seeing her again. While Newt was naturally nervous around people, his nerves felt either crazy heightened or non existent when he was with her. When they talked about Pokémon it was like second nature. He really, really liked her. Not that he was going to say or do anything! She probably didn't even like him either. Why would she anyway? Besides Newt was "supposed" to be focused on theater and his classes.... But he really, really liked Savannah. And he really, really liked his video games, too! How was school really supposed to compete with those?
Newt had already finished setting up his dorm and grabbed his DS, phone and wallet. He figured he'd go around town a bit, maybe hit a few Pokéstops and catch some Pokémon. The hype of Pokémon Go definitely died down, but Newt was a fanatic. He really needed to strengthen his Pokémon and evolve and catch more. Plus, he had to make sure Team Mystic stayed in control of the gyms around Salem! He turned on his DS and set it in his back pocket, ready to obtain maximum street passes today. And with his charger and wallet in his other pocket and his phone fully charged, Newt hopped on the bus and headed to the mall. He wanted to hit a few different stores while he was there. Game store, toy store, Walmart wannabe store...he really wanted to buy some more trading cards, but he'd never hear the end of it from his mom if he wasn't completely prepared for class. Newt did promise he'd buy at least one new shirt and a couple more school supplies. Why'd he do that again? Oh yeah. Trading cards. Ugh. First thing was first, though. Newt was hungry.
After the bus got to the mall, Newt hit a couple of the Pokéstops in the mall - there weren't a lot, though there happened to be two not too far from each other - and then made his way to the food court. He just had to decide what to get. McDonald's was out because they didn't have any Pokémon toys right now. He could get ice cream or fro yo.... But a burger sounded really good, too. Newt glanced around the court, seeing if anything had changed since last year. Didn't look like it. Fortunately there was always one thing to turn to - pizza. Licking his lips, Newt got on line and waited for his turn. He ordered a soda and a slice of pizza and then made his way to an empty table. He quickly checked his phone to make sure he didn't miss any nearby Pokémon before turning off the screen and taking a big bite into his slice.
