A/N: Sorry for the chapter title…we know it sucks big time but please bare with us and also sorry for the wrong grammar.^-^ Please review we beg you….that's all ja!
Disclaimers: We DO NOT OWN Gundam Wing or any of the characters in this fic, except Kasumi, Yukino, Yumiko, Saemi, and Kaori, understood?
"Hey, where the hell are we going again?" Kasumi Miyazawa asked.
"To the Greenwood Academy in Tokyo to get the entrance exams, don't you remember" Yumiko Kobayashi answered.
The five of girls, including Yukino Mori, Kasumi Miyazawa, Kaori Kuwabara, and Saemi Kuramitsu, were on a train going straight to Tokyo. They all just finished sixth grade and were going to get the entrance exams for high school in Greenwood Academy. Because after much pleading and reassuring, their parents finally agreed to let them live by themselves and send them to Tokyo, since they were originally from Kyoto. And even if they don't pass the academy's entrance exam, they can still find another.
"I can't believe our parents finally agreed to send us to Tokyo!" Yukino Mori squealed.
" Tell me about it, I mean, just last week, they couldn't even trust me with the groceries!" Saemi said.
And until after more talking and gibbering, the train finally stopped at the Tokyo train station, and after some time, they had already found their pick-up bus to take them to the hotel. The bus ride was, more or less, a thirty- minute ride, since it was on the other side of town, which gave them a very god opportunity to take a good look around. When the girls arrived at the hotel room, they put their bags on their beds and started to decide who was staying with who.
"So, who's staying in this room?" Kaori asked.
They had ordered two connecting rooms, both with kitchens, a couch, two single beds, which meant that one of them had to sleep on the couch, and all the other amenities apartment-type hotels had to offer.
"I'm staying in this room!" Yukino announced, obviously careful not to end up sleeping on the couch.
"I'm staying with her," Saemi said.
" No, you don't, you two have a tendency of fighting over the smallest things." Yumiko disagreed, "Kasumi, you stay with her, that okay with you?"
"Sure, but I don't think I'll get along well with her," Kasumi said.
"You two are best friends, how can that happen?"
"I don't know, I just have a feeling, but it's probably not true."
"So you're okay with staying with her?"
"Sure."
"So, who's staying with me?" Saemi asked everyone.
Nobody answered. Saemi had this habit of getting other people's places in the closet or something.
"I'll stay with her," Yumiko, the nicest of the four, offered, "I wouldn't mind spending a room with two other people." She said this because Saemi and Yukino couldn't be together and it needed at least two people to help Saemi learn how to share.
"Then I guess this leaves me with you two," Kaori agreed.
"It's settled, then," Saemi said. "But who's sleeping n the couch?"
"We'll take turns, that's the only fair way, isn't it?"
"I guess so."
Then after that, they all went to their rooms and started to unpack. Yukino and Kasumi didn't argue about closet space since the drawers and hangers could easily be divided, and when the two finished, it was already lunchtime, and because all of them were too lazy to go and find food themselves, they just ordered pizza from room service. After lunch, the girls decided to rest for a while before studying for their exams tomorrow.
Now, let me tell you about each of the girls. First is Kaori Kuwabara. She has, short, shoulder-length black hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. She's the most intelligent in their class, but even though, she, s not considered a nerd because of her outgoing nature.
Next is Yumiko Kobayashi. This girl has long brown hair, blue eyes, and –almost- pale skin. Like most people who easily get angry and irritated, Yumiko is kind and patient, which makes her the most different in their group.
Third is Saemi Kuramitsu. Saemi has short blue hair and matching blue eyes. She's what you would call a 'boy freak', but she knows how to keep herself cool and she doesn't act all nervous around boys, and she doesn't sound squeaky or something when talking.
Second to the last is Yukino Mori, Kasumi's best friend. She has brown hair a few inches below her shoulders, brown eyes and very light, brown skin. She's very surprising and no one exactly knows what she's thinking of doing next when she's done something.
Lastly, is Kasumi Miyazawa. She has long black hair-probably the longest of the five-, green eyes, and, likeYukino, very light, brown skin. She's very good at retorting and martial arts and she basically knows how to keep cool. She's usually pretty quiet and only talks when she has to.
So, I guess that's all of them. They're all fifteen yrs. old and just finished grade school. After studying, it was almost seven- thirty, which meant, dinnertime. Tonight, the girls just ordered some pasta and chicken for dinner.
"Hey, guys, do you think we'll pass tomorrow?" Yumiko asked.
All of them were lying side by side on one of the hotel's botanical gardens.
"I don't know, I guess all we can do now is hope," Kasumi said.
"Do you think there are cute boys at the academy?" Saemi asked, suddenly changing the subject.
"Saemi, could you please not talk about boys for one minute?" Yukino scolded.
"Okay, okay…"
"What'll we do if, maybe, half of us passes?" Kaori mused.
"We'll all transfer to another school, it's all for one and one for all, right, guys?" Kasumi answered.
"Of course, what's the point of going here in the first place if we're not gonna stick together?" Yukino replied.
Then they all stayed there for a while, saying nothing. Then suddenly, they all stood up at the same time, burst out laughing, and went to their rooms without another word. All of them quickly changed into their pajamas and went to bed immediately, nervousness rising on everyone's nerves for the big day.
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
Kasumi's POV
~*:~*:~*:~*:~:*:~*:~*:~*:
"Hey, Kasumi, wake up!" Kasumi heard a voice say.
She sat in her bed, rubbed her eyes, looked at the clock and saw that it was already eight o' clock, and clearly saw that it was Yumiko, who was obviously the first one to wake up. She looked around and saw that Kaori was already awake. She went into the bathroom, since the two were already finished, to take a bath. When she went out, she changed into a loose black shirt that said in blood red letters 'God of Death', baggy green cargo pants, 'Nike' rubber shoes, and used a green scrunchie to tie her long hair. The last one that she noticed to wake up was Yukino, who was standing beside her bed, waiting for Saemi to get out of the bathroom. When Saemi did get out of the bathroom, she quickly wore a blue spaghetti-strapped dress, a denim cardigan, and high heels. She looked like she was going to a party, not to a school to get an entrance exam. Yukino quickly got out of the bathroom, obviously because of the cold water. She then dressed into a blue 'Guess' shirt, khaki Capri pants, and, like Kasumi, 'Nike' rubber shoes.
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
Kasumi and Yukino examined the other two. Kaori was wearing a yellow halter top, flared pants, and low cut boots, while Yumiko was in a blue shirt with a floral print, a khaki skirt, and boots. At least they aren't overdressed like Saemi. They took the bus to the academy, as they already knew its address. They arrived there at about nine o' clock since it took them thirty minutes just to get dressed, and thirty more minutes to go to the school.
They saw a huge, rectangular building in front of them, with well furnished, wooden, double doors. Above it was an arch that said in huge, bold letters 'GREENWOOD ACADEMY'. They entered and saw a large rectangular hall with only a few students, chairs and tables separated from each other, and on one of the sides was a registrar's table with a woman in her twenties.
When they went to her, and she said, "Good Morning, I'm Lucrezia Noin, and how may I be of help to you?"
"We're here for the entrance exams, may we register?" Yumiko asked.
"Sure."
She gave them each a form and a pen, told us them answer it on the tables, and give it back to her when they were finished. Yumiko thanked her afterwards.
They then answered the questions on the form, things like 'name, address, current location……..'. When they were finished, they gave them back to the registrar and she looked at each one by one. She gave each of them a booklet of questions, and told them to go to the tables- again, and this time, it was Kaori who thanked her.
As the five of them stared at the first few questions, they figured that it wouldn't be that hard, but as the test went on, the questions became harder and harder, and they started to think that they wouldn't pass this thing at all.
They finished the test in a good one and half-hours, since it was already ten forty- five. They gave them back to Ms. Noin, then she stuck the corresponding forms inside.
Your grades will be sent to you after a week, with a letter saying if you have been accepted or not. Have a nice day!" she said.
With that, they left the hall and started to talk.
Hey, do you think we passed?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
That was pretty hard, don't you think?"
"It was more than hard, it was mega- hard."
"I think you're exaggerating a bit."
"I am not!"
"No need to get mad, cool it."
They only stopped talking when they arrived at the hotel, where they slumped on the beds and the couches, then they all burst into talking again.
"How do you think we passed that stupid test?"
"I don't know, cheat?"
We already finished the test, moron."
"Then let's turn back time."
"Great, another one of your stupid imaginations."
"That test is not stupid!"
"A thing with questions that hard is stupid, I'm telling you."
"Whatever, and don't get to hot-headed, you sound like you're going to die or something."
"Hey, guys, do you want to go to the city?"
"The city's almost thirty minutes away by car, it'll take hours if we walk,"
"No one said we were going to walk, there's always the bus, stupid."
"Oh,"
When they came to the city, they had lunch at a Japanese restaurant where they ate some sushi and other Japanese delicacies. After that, they went into Tokyo's malls and looked around, even though they didn't buy anything, because the items were too expensive even for their parents- who were paying for all of our expenses, so they just tried on stuff for fun. As they arrived at the hotel, all of them fell on the beds.
"That was great!" Yukino said.
"I haven't had that much fun since my parents went away for a week!"
"I need a shower," Saemi said as she looked around, seeing sweaty faces and broad grins.
"Definitely," Yukino agreed.
Both of them looked at each other and started to run towards the bathroom, and, unfortunately, Saemi won. When all of them already had a shower, they changed into their pj's already, watched some T.V, ordered room service for dinner, watched more T.V, and slept at about midnight.
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
After a week of endless strolling around Tokyo came Saturday, the day which their letters from the academy would arrive.
All of them were watching T.V. while anxiously waiting for the messenger to arrive. There was a sort of nervous tension in the air as a knock on the door came. Saemi answered it.
"Letters for Ms. Kuwabara, Kuramitsu, Kobayashi, Mori, and Miyazawa, am I correct?" the messenger asked.
Five nods answered him. He gave the letters to Saemi, who in turn, handed them to the others. They opened the letters with shaky hands and nervous faces, until finally, all of them pulled out our letters. Kaori read hers quickly. Her eyes widened and a grin lit up her face.
"You got in?" Yumiko asked.
"You bet!"
"What about you guys, did you pass?" Yumiko asked.
"Sure!" Kasumi answered.
"Of course!" Yukino replied.
"What do you think?" Saemi asked, and everybody knew that that meant yes.
"What about you?" "If you could pass, then of course I could!" Yumiko said
Then they all looked at each other and started bouncing and jumping on the beds- if you think this is weird, just wait 'till you're accepted in Tokyo's most exclusive school!
"Wait, what time does school start?" Kaori asked.
"It says here that it starts at June 1." Kasumi said, consulting the letter from the academy.
"Yeah, and it also says here that we only have until Wednesday to get supplies and stuff." Yumiko inserted, also reading from the letter.
"Let's go on Monday, that way, there's not so much traffic and we can get there in the morning early, because I bet there's gonna be a really long line in the afternoon."
"Good idea."
Then in the afternoon, they went to the city again to look around, and in the and night, they did the same, they slept at a half past twelve that day.
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
Today is Sunday, but there really isn't much to tell, just the normal stuff we do, so, on to Monday!
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
It was already ten in the afternoon when they woke up, due to late sleeping. And since they were supposed to go back to the academy in the morning, they just decided to go in the afternoon, thinking that the line in the school would have shortened by then, but they still had to hurry, as the school closed at three.
When the bus stopped at the front gates of the school, they hurried to the double doors, expecting to see a long line for the supplies, but to their surprise, all they saw was the registrar, Ms. Noin, and five guys that seemed to be around our age. They walked in line with the guys with Kaori in front, second was Kasumi, Yukino, Saemi, and lastly was Yumiko. They looked around and noticed that the hall itself seemed to have changed. Instead of the individual tables and chairs, they saw four long, rectangular tables with loads of chairs and a throne- like chair in the far end.
The guys in front of them didn't seem like newcomers, though. The one in front, a guy with short brown hair, was talking to another guy with braided brown hair. Another one with short blonde hair was asking Ms. Noin something alongside two other guys. One which had tied black hair, and the other one also with short brown hair, but if I looked sideways, I noticed that he had weird, spiky bangs that covered his right eye. When they finished talking, they disappeared on one of the corridors on the right side of the hall.
We approached Ms. Noin, and she said, "Good morning, and how may I of help to you?"
"We're here to get our supplies for high school…."Kaori trailed off, unsure of what to say.
"May I see your letters?"
They showed her their letters, and she looked at each one by one.
She returned the letters to them and she said, "Very well then."
She gave each of the girls a paper bag full of things and stuff. "School starts on June 1, next Monday, and you will be expected to come promptly at eight o' clock in the morning. A pick-up bus will fetch you at our hotel together with your luggage." she said, "Welcome to Greenwood Academy." She added with a smile.
"Thank you," Kaori said.
They left the school and talked about what they should do that afternoon, since it was just two o'clock, and with some arguments, they finally decided to go to the city. They took the bus- as usual- back to the hotel, and with some difficulty, carried their heavy paper bags up the twenty- third floor, where their rooms were. When they did come to their rooms, they put all their bags on the sides of their beds and rested their hands, which were red and marked with the handles of the bags. Then they all decided that it was best if they checked their school supplies before going, maybe they left out a book or something. They all pulled the lists from their bags and read them. Soon after, they were muttering the things on the list in audible words.
"Two folders……."
"Eight books, eight notebooks……"
"One black pen, one red pen……."
"Two sign pens, uniform………uniform!"
Then they all noticed that their uniforms were included in the paper bags, which were one of the reasons that made them heavy. The uniform consisted of a blue blazer, a short blue skirt, a white long-sleeved polo, and a necktie.
"Do we actually have to wear these?" Saemi asked.
"It says here that students may not enter school premises unless in proper uniform." Kasumi read from a note on the list, "and that students should wear black shoes as footwear with white socks."
"That's not a problem, we all brought our old school shoes with us, didn't we?" Yumiko answered.
Four heads nodded.
"Hey, what time does school start?" Yukino asked.
"Eight o' clock, don't you read?" Kaori replied, pointing at her list.
"I do not want to wake up that early." Yukino complained.
"Well, you chose that school, and you just gotta live with it."
"She's right, and it also says here that there's going to be a short assembly at the entrance hall at eight o'clock." Yumiko said.
"Hey, guys, do you still want to go to the city?" Saemi asked as we finished checking our things.
"I don't know, I'm pretty tired." Kasumi answered.
"Yeah, let's rest for today, we still have a week before classes, anyway." Yukino agreed.
A week later………

So, I guess that's all of them. They're all fifteen yrs. old and just finished grade school. After studying, it was almost seven- thirty, which meant, dinnertime. Tonight, the girls just ordered some pasta and chicken for dinner.
"Hey, guys, do you think we'll pass tomorrow?" Yumiko asked.
All of them were lying side by side on one of the hotel's botanical gardens.
"I don't know, I guess all we can do now is hope," Kasumi said.
"Do you think there are cute boys at the academy?" Saemi asked, suddenly changing the subject.
"Saemi, could you please not talk about boys for one minute?" Yukino scolded.
"Okay, okay…"
"What'll we do if, maybe, half of us passes?" Kaori mused.
"We'll all transfer to another school, it's all for one and one for all, right, guys?" Kasumi answered.
"Of course, what's the point of going here in the first place if we're not gonna stick together?" Yukino replied.
Then they all stayed there for a while, saying nothing. Then suddenly, they all stood up at the same time, burst out laughing, and went to their rooms without another word. All of them quickly changed into their pajamas and went to bed immediately, nervousness rising on everyone's nerves for the big day.

Kasumi's POV
~*:~*:~*:~*:~:*:~*:~*:~*:
"Hey, Kasumi, wake up!" Kasumi heard a voice say.
She sat in her bed, rubbed her eyes, looked at the clock and saw that it was already eight o' clock, and clearly saw that it was Yumiko, who was obviously the first one to wake up. She looked around and saw that Kaori was already awake. She went into the bathroom, since the two were already finished, to take a bath. When she went out, she changed into a loose black shirt that said in blood red letters 'God of Death', baggy green cargo pants, 'Nike' rubber shoes, and used a green scrunchie to tie her long hair. The last one that she noticed to wake up was Yukino, who was standing beside her bed, waiting for Saemi to get out of the bathroom. When Saemi did get out of the bathroom, she quickly wore a blue spaghetti-strapped dress, a denim cardigan, and high heels. She looked like she was going to a party, not to a school to get an entrance exam. Yukino quickly got out of the bathroom, obviously because of the cold water. She then dressed into a blue 'Guess' shirt, khaki Capri pants, and, like Kasumi, 'Nike' rubber shoes.
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
Kasumi and Yukino examined the other two. Kaori was wearing a yellow halter top, flared pants, and low cut boots, while Yumiko was in a blue shirt with a floral print, a khaki skirt, and boots. At least they aren't overdressed like Saemi. They took the bus to the academy, as they already knew its address. They arrived there at about nine o' clock since it took them thirty minutes just to get dressed, and thirty more minutes to go to the school.
They saw a huge, rectangular building in front of them, with well furnished, wooden, double doors. Above it was an arch that said in huge, bold letters 'GREENWOOD ACADEMY'. They entered and saw a large rectangular hall with only a few students, chairs and tables separated from each other, and on one of the sides was a registrar's table with a woman in her twenties.
When they went to her, and she said, "Good Morning, I'm Lucrezia Noin, and how may I be of help to you?"
"We're here for the entrance exams, may we register?" Yumiko asked.
"Sure."
She gave them each a form and a pen, told us them answer it on the tables, and give it back to her when they were finished. Yumiko thanked her afterwards.
They then answered the questions on the form, things like 'name, address, current location……..'. When they were finished, they gave them back to the registrar and she looked at each one by one. She gave each of them a booklet of questions, and told them to go to the tables- again, and this time, it was Kaori who thanked her.
As the five of them stared at the first few questions, they figured that it wouldn't be that hard, but as the test went on, the questions became harder and harder, and they started to think that they wouldn't pass this thing at all.
They finished the test in a good one and half-hours, since it was already ten forty- five. They gave them back to Ms. Noin, then she stuck the corresponding forms inside.
Your grades will be sent to you after a week, with a letter saying if you have been accepted or not. Have a nice day!" she said.
With that, they left the hall and started to talk.
Hey, do you think we passed?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
That was pretty hard, don't you think?"
"It was more than hard, it was mega- hard."
"I think you're exaggerating a bit."
"I am not!"
"No need to get mad, cool it."
They only stopped talking when they arrived at the hotel, where they slumped on the beds and the couches, then they all burst into talking again.
"How do you think we passed that stupid test?"
"I don't know, cheat?"
We already finished the test, moron."
"Then let's turn back time."
"Great, another one of your stupid imaginations."
"That test is not stupid!"
"A thing with questions that hard is stupid, I'm telling you."
"Whatever, and don't get to hot-headed, you sound like you're going to die or something."
"Hey, guys, do you want to go to the city?"
"The city's almost thirty minutes away by car, it'll take hours if we walk,"
"No one said we were going to walk, there's always the bus, stupid."
"Oh,"
When they came to the city, they had lunch at a Japanese restaurant where they ate some sushi and other Japanese delicacies. After that, they went into Tokyo's malls and looked around, even though they didn't buy anything, because the items were too expensive even for their parents- who were paying for all of our expenses, so they just tried on stuff for fun. As they arrived at the hotel, all of them fell on the beds.
"That was great!" Yukino said.
"I haven't had that much fun since my parents went away for a week!"
"I need a shower," Saemi said as she looked around, seeing sweaty faces and broad grins.
"Definitely," Yukino agreed.
Both of them looked at each other and started to run towards the bathroom, and, unfortunately, Saemi won. When all of them already had a shower, they changed into their pj's already, watched some T.V, ordered room service for dinner, watched more T.V, and slept at about midnight.
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
After a week of endless strolling around Tokyo came Saturday, the day which their letters from the academy would arrive.
All of them were watching T.V. while anxiously waiting for the messenger to arrive. There was a sort of nervous tension in the air as a knock on the door came. Saemi answered it.
"Letters for Ms. Kuwabara, Kuramitsu, Kobayashi, Mori, and Miyazawa, am I correct?" the messenger asked.
Five nods answered him. He gave the letters to Saemi, who in turn, handed them to the others. They opened the letters with shaky hands and nervous faces, until finally, all of them pulled out our letters. Kaori read hers quickly. Her eyes widened and a grin lit up her face.
"You got in?" Yumiko asked.
"You bet!"
"What about you guys, did you pass?" Yumiko asked.
"Sure!" Kasumi answered.
"Of course!" Yukino replied.
"What do you think?" Saemi asked, and everybody knew that that meant yes.
"What about you?" "If you could pass, then of course I could!" Yumiko said
Then they all looked at each other and started bouncing and jumping on the beds- if you think this is weird, just wait 'till you're accepted in Tokyo's most exclusive school!
"Wait, what time does school start?" Kaori asked.
"It says here that it starts at June 1." Kasumi said, consulting the letter from the academy.
"Yeah, and it also says here that we only have until Wednesday to get supplies and stuff." Yumiko inserted, also reading from the letter.
"Let's go on Monday, that way, there's not so much traffic and we can get there in the morning early, because I bet there's gonna be a really long line in the afternoon."
"Good idea."
Then in the afternoon, they went to the city again to look around, and in the and night, they did the same, they slept at a half past twelve that day.

Today is Sunday, but there really isn't much to tell, just the normal stuff we do, so, on to Monday!
~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:~*:
It was already ten in the afternoon when they woke up, due to late sleeping. And since they were supposed to go back to the academy in the morning, they just decided to go in the afternoon, thinking that the line in the school would have shortened by then, but they still had to hurry, as the school closed at three.
When the bus stopped at the front gates of the school, they hurried to the double doors, expecting to see a long line for the supplies, but to their surprise, all they saw was the registrar, Ms. Noin, and five guys that seemed to be around our age. They walked in line with the guys with Kaori in front, second was Kasumi, Yukino, Saemi, and lastly was Yumiko. They looked around and noticed that the hall itself seemed to have changed. Instead of the individual tables and chairs, they saw four long, rectangular tables with loads of chairs and a throne- like chair in the far end.
The guys in front of them didn't seem like newcomers, though. The one in front, a guy with short brown hair, was talking to another guy with braided brown hair. Another one with short blonde hair was asking Ms. Noin something alongside two other guys. One which had tied black hair, and the other one also with short brown hair, but if I looked sideways, I noticed that he had weird, spiky bangs that covered his right eye. When they finished talking, they disappeared on one of the corridors on the right side of the hall.
We approached Ms. Noin, and she said, "Good morning, and how may I of help to you?"
"We're here to get our supplies for high school…."Kaori trailed off, unsure of what to say.
"May I see your letters?"
They showed her their letters, and she looked at each one by one.
She returned the letters to them and she said, "Very well then."
She gave each of the girls a paper bag full of things and stuff. "School starts on June 1, next Monday, and you will be expected to come promptly at eight o' clock in the morning. A pick-up bus will fetch you at our hotel together with your luggage." she said, "Welcome to Greenwood Academy." She added with a smile.
"Thank you," Kaori said.
They left the school and talked about what they should do that afternoon, since it was just two o'clock, and with some arguments, they finally decided to go to the city. They took the bus- as usual- back to the hotel, and with some difficulty, carried their heavy paper bags up the twenty- third floor, where their rooms were. When they did come to their rooms, they put all their bags on the sides of their beds and rested their hands, which were red and marked with the handles of the bags. Then they all decided that it was best if they checked their school supplies before going, maybe they left out a book or something. They all pulled the lists from their bags and read them. Soon after, they were muttering the things on the list in audible words.
"Two folders……."
"Eight books, eight notebooks……"
"One black pen, one red pen……."
"Two sign pens, uniform………uniform!"
Then they all noticed that their uniforms were included in the paper bags, which were one of the reasons that made them heavy. The uniform consisted of a blue blazer, a short blue skirt, a white long-sleeved polo, and a necktie.
"Do we actually have to wear these?" Saemi asked.
"It says here that students may not enter school premises unless in proper uniform." Kasumi read from a note on the list, "and that students should wear black shoes as footwear with white socks."
"That's not a problem, we all brought our old school shoes with us, didn't we?" Yumiko answered.
Four heads nodded.
"Hey, what time does school start?" Yukino asked.
"Eight o' clock, don't you read?" Kaori replied, pointing at her list.
"I do not want to wake up that early." Yukino complained.
"Well, you chose that school, and you just gotta live with it."
"She's right, and it also says here that there's going to be a short assembly at the entrance hall at eight o'clock." Yumiko said.
"Hey, guys, do you still want to go to the city?" Saemi asked as we finished checking our things.
"I don't know, I'm pretty tired." Kasumi answered.
"Yeah, let's rest for today, we still have a week before classes, anyway." Yukino agreed.
A week later………
