OK, this is completely unrelated to my other stories. I am Aki (Akira) and my friend is Aubrey. Narumi is referred to as Mr. Narumi in this chapter and next chapter, but after that he'll just be Narumi. Underline is English, regular is Japanese.

"Akira Silverton and Aubrey Jackson to the Principal's office. I repeat- Akira Silverton and Aubrey Jackson to the Principal's office." Aki and Aubrey exchanged glanced before standing up and walking out of the classroom, completely ignoring the twitters from their classmates behind them.
"What do you think's going on?" Aki asked as they walked down the stairs to the first floor.
"It's probably some math thing again." Aki nodded; the two of them took geometry in high school even though they were in seventh grade. When to two friends reached the principal's office, they were greeted by the principal and a man with long blond hair.
The principal smiled apologetically at them. "He's been speaking Japanese, but I could tell that he wanted you two. Do either of you speak Japanese?" They both shook their head as Aki turned to look at the man, her eyebrows raised quizzically.
"You two have been chosen for Gakuen Alice in Japan." Aki nodded.
"He said we were chosen for something called Gakuen Alice in Japan." Aubrey and the principal stared at Aki in disbelief. "What?"
"Aki, that was in Japanese." Aki blinked and her jaw dropped.
"Um, ok. Was that in Japanese?" The man nodded. "Whatever. What's Gakuen Alice?"
The gay-looking guy smiled. "It's a school for people with magic powers."
"I'm not crazy."
"I know that. We will discuss this with your parents when they arrive."
"Our parents don't speak Japanese. I guess I should translate, even though I don't know how I can even understand what you're saying." The guy nodded and, as if on cue, the four parents arrived. The eight of them sat down around the conference table connected to the main office. The man, who was introduced as Narumi-san, or Mr. Narumi, explain everything that he had told the girls in Japanese and Aki gave a running commentary in English. She ended with, "And we leave in a few hours."
"It seems like a good learning experience," Aubrey's mom commented. That brought upon a new wave of conversing about it among the adults. Aki muttered to Aubrey that they were being sent to an insane asylum and they both started laughing.
Finally, the parents came to a consensus. "They'll go home and pack, then come back to the school. Then they can leave." Mr. Narumi nodded and the two girls left with their distinct families.
Half an hour later, they both returned each carrying a suitcase and a duffel bag. "Narumi-san, do we have to wear skirts?" Mr. Narumi nodded. "Can we try to get some exception or something?"
"We can look into it." Aki rolled her eyes before relaying the answer to Aubrey. "We need to leave." The three got into the limo waiting outside' Mr. Narumi got into the front passenger seat and Aubrey and Aki got in the back. Aki and Aubrey each got out their iPods and a book and spent the entire ride to the airport reading. After going through airport security and being led to a separate plain, they were joined by a boy their age wearing a cat mask. He walked with them into the plane and sat in the seat across the aisle from them. A few minutes later, the private jet took off, holding only Aki, Aubrey, Mr. Narumi, the boy, a stewardess, and presumably a pilot. Aki and Aubrey looked at each other, sighed, and put their headphones back on.
An hour later, a plane flew nest to them in the sky. Something shot out of it and struck the plane where Aki and Aubrey were sitting. The entire side of the plane imploded and the thin air rushed in.
Everything went black.
