Moon was silently walking down the halls of University of Michigan. She was new here, and it probably wasn't a good idea to be wearing an all Australian outfit only 3 months into the first semester. Or at least, that was where she was supposed to be.
A week ago Moon Athegin had moved into Michigan, and started unpacking. Financially, she was definitely going to struggle for a while as she tried to settle down. But, nevertheless, she moved away from her home country and ended up here.
Moon walked into her math class and approached the teacher, a young male professor who was writing something on the chalkboard. She took a deep breath before speaking to him, her accent coming out thick and strong.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where my seat is?" She asked, her voice shaking a little, hoping she hadn't messed up her first sentence in American English.
Moon only knew Australian English. Ever since she had gotten here, everything seemed so backwards to her. All the words referencing the wrong things. She almost considered moving back to Australia because of it.
"Ahh, you must be my new foreign exchange student, am I right?" The man asked.
"Ummm...yes, that's me?" Moon said, asking more than stating.
"You're Moon Athegin then! Please take a seat in the back right corner. Right over there!" He said, pointing to a seat in the far back right of the small classroom.
Moon nodded to him, and pulled her items closer to her body. Silently, she approached her seat and sat down, taking notice of where she was in the room and the fastest way to get to her seat without getting in anyone else's way.
