Chapter One
"We are now arriving in Japan." A voice announced.
A girl who looked around the age of fifteen opened her eyes. She had just woken up from her nap. Reaching into her bag she pulled out a brush and fixed her black hair. When she was done, she tied her hair into two low pigtails that rested in front of her shoulders. Her hair only reached a few inches below her shoulders. Usually she would not fix her hair on a plane after waking up from slumber, but today was a special day.
She was chosen along with fifty-nine other high school students to study aboard in Japan. The students on that plane were among the best in the United States. Thirty boys and thirty girls were chosen to join a special program to study in Japan, and all the expenses were covered by the school they were going to. Apparently it was a school for rich kids. Ouran Academy they had said.
The girl was excited to study in another country, but at the same time nervous to attend a new school. She had gone to a private high school in the United States and it was expensive, but everyone there was normal and none of their families owned major business empires. After researching her new school, she had found out that almost all the families at Ouran were special and had some sort of power in business. She looked around at the other passengers and realized that everyone there was probably feeling the same way.
After the plane had landed, the sixty students stepped off the plane and rode in a fancy bus like vehicle to where they were going to stay for their time in Japan. When they arrived, everyone was frozen with awe as they stepped into the building. It was as if they were staying in a five star hotel.
"Welcome!" The domestic staff greeted them with friendly smiles.
A man and a woman stepped in front greeted the students. The man was named Katsuro and was the supervisor for the boys, and the woman was Sasaki and the supervisor for the girls. They explained that the building was in walking distance from the school, and the boys' rooms were in the left wing and the girls' rooms were in the right wing. Everyone was staying with a roommate.
Sasaki and Katsuro led the students to their respective wings. Sasaki called each girl by name and told them which room they were living in.
"Rumi Kato." She called out.
The girl with black hair walked up to the supervisor.
"Room Nineteen." She told her.
Rumi nodded and walked to her room. When she opened the door, her roommate was already inside. The other girl looked up at the sound of the door opening.
"Oh hello." She greeted walking towards Rumi.
"Hey." She replied.
Her roommate was of average height reaching five feet and four inches. She was taller than Rumi who was only five feet and two inches. She had light wavy light brown hair that reached her elbows and light green eyes.
"I'm Hana Suzuki." The taller girl greeted holding her hand out.
"I'm Rumi Kato." She replied shaking her hand.
"Oh, so you're full Japanese!" Hana exclaimed.
Rumi nodded. "Both of my parents came to the United States shortly before I was born."
"That's so cool." She replied. "I'm only half Japanese."
"From your name I thought that you were pureblood Japanese." Rumi stated. In her head she noted that even though the girl had a Japanese name, she looked American instead.
"Oh, my father was Japanese, so I got my surname from him." Hana explained. "My mother wanted me to have a name that would work both in the States and in Japan."
She smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck. "I guess I took after my mother. I look more American than Japanese."
Rumi nodded and wondered if her roommate could read minds.
"Oh, what class are you in Rumi?" Hana asked.
Rumi looked down at the papers in her hands. "Class 1-A" She read.
"Me too!" The taller girl said excitedly. "I'm so relieved that I know someone in my class."
Rumi looked around the room. It was spacious with two queen size beds on opposite sides of the room. In the room was two large dressers and two closets near each bed. A door stood between the two dressers. She assumed to lead to a bathroom.
"I don't think I'll need this much space." She muttered.
"That was my same reaction." Hana stated. "Then I realized that we're staying here to study aboard for the school year, so I brought a ton of clothes with me."
Rumi looked down at her large bags which were by her feet.
"Oh, speaking of packing," She started. "I want to finish unpacking before dinner."
Hana nodded. "I should do that too."
Both girls walked farther into their large room.
-x-
After the girls finished packing, they found themselves sitting at a long dinning table.
"Woah." The students breathed with surprise.
On the table was plenty of expensive food. Most of the American students have not eaten them before.
Rumi and Hana were very delighted to have the seafood and sushi at their end of the table. They happily ate the food to some of the other students' disgust. Apparently they weren't too fond of seafood or sushi.
After dinner was finished Sasaki and Katsuro led the students to get fitted and to receive their uniform. Sasaki led the girls to a back room. All thirty girls gawked when they saw the uniform on the display. It was an ankle length yellow dress. The dress was long sleeved, and it also sported puffed shoulders.
"Do we seriously have to wear that?" Rumi muttered.
At her previous high school they had worn shorts and skirts that were above the knee.
"It's a refined rich kid school." Hana told her. "What did you expect?"
She looked at her roommate and agreed with her.
Rumi looked at herself at the mirror and grimaced at the sight of herself wearing the uniform. Hana who was also trying on her uniform looked up at her roommate and saw the expression on her face.
"You look fine Rumi." She reassured her.
She looked at Hana, and her eyes widened with surprise. Her roommate was very appealing with the uniform on. Hana's long and wavy light brown hair went along nicely with the very formal uniform. While Rumi's casual pigtails looked plain.
"It's just that I haven't worn a dress like this in years." She stated gesturing the puffed shoulders. She would be more willing to wear the uniform if it didn't have that trait.
"That's true, but we only have to wear it at school." Hana stated positively. "And after school during club activities."
Rumi looked at her roommate with a confused look. "I wasn't planning to join a club."
"We have a club requirement." She reminded her. "it's part of the program."
"Oh, right." Rumi muttered. "I'll just join a sports club then."
"Unfortunately, sport clubs aren't counted in the requirements." Hana told her.
She replied with a questioning look.
"The program is so we can learn about the Japanese culture." Hana explained. "If we joined a sport club that we have back in America then the club requirement would be useless."
"Well, we have school tomorrow, so we can look around after." Rumi stated.
