Chapter 1

I'm writing a new story! Yay for me! I just realized I didn't do one disclaimer for Surviving in Exil, Search for the Most Powerful Bionic, From Crazy to Love, and The Future of Lab Rats(oops)I'm working on that. Secondly, I have like 6 chapters written for this story, but im going to post one everyday. After that I'll post the chapters when I'm finished writing them. Thirdly, sorry I haven't updated in like two weeks. But don't worry, I have good excuses! The first week, I had writers block on Surviving in Exile so I finished Search for the Most Powerful Bionic. Then I started my new Lab Rats story, The Future of Lab Rats, and now I have writers block on that too. I still have writers block on all those stories. The second week I was on vacation and had no Internet so I couldn't update :(. While on vacation I thought of this idea and started typing it. Now I'm posting it. Also all the OCs in this story, there pictures are labeled in the title photo. Some of them are celebrities some of them are my friends. And since I haven't been doing disclaimers I'm going to do a fun one that I never do.

Me-soooooo. I'm bored and lazy does anyone want to the disclaimer?

Jack-I'll do it.

Me-great. Go for it.

Jack-ObsessedWithKickinItnLabRats does not own Kickin it, it's characters, or any of the other brands that she mentions. She just owns the plot and the OCs that randomly come to her.

Me-thanks Jack.

Jack-anytime.

Jack's POV

I said goodbye to my parents and boarded the plane. I couldn't believe I was moving to Japan! Japan! I flight attendant showed me to my seat. I sat in the aisle because its easy access and there's more foot room. I put my carry on in the overheard compartment and sat down.

As the rest of the people boarded the plane two guys sat next to me. One was Japenese and looked about my age. And the other looked like his father. They started silently talking and I just ignored them.

When the pilot said to turn off our electronics I turned of my phone and iPad off and put them in the seat in front of my. As we were taking off I remembered the note Kim had given me. I took it out of my pocket. Before opening it I hesitated. I was worried about what was inside. I told her in my letter that I loved her and that I would never forget her. That she was the love of my life. I took a deep breath and opened the envelope. I choked up while reading it.

Dear Jack,

I'm sorry I couldn't come and see you off. I wouldn't be able to handle seeing you go. But I couldn't let you go without telling you how I feel. I have been in love with you ever since that first day in the Cafeteria. The way you looked into my eyes when you caught my apple. My heart stopped. I just need to tell you I love you and I will never love anybody else but you, and if I do, it's only to save your life. I don't know if you feel the same, but that is how I feel and I needed to tell you.

You're my true love,

Kim

I finished reading the letter I had to swallowed back the lump in my throat. I had said almost the exact same thing. I read the letter over and over again. I knew she loved me. Now I regret not saying anything to her before I left. But it's too late now. Now we're somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Then the seatbelt light clicked off. I unbuckled my seat belt along with about the half the plane. Then I peered over the people sitting next to me and looked out the window. All I saw was water. The older man sitting by the window was starting to fall asleep. I kept looking out the window until his head fell and blocked it.

I say for another hour just staring at the back of the chair in front me. I was bored out of my mind. Then I remembered I had gotten a brochure for the Otai Acedemy. I took it out of my carry on and opened it. The place looked gorgeous. Not to mention old. It looked really really old. I felt like someone was watching me. I turned my head and saw the boy who was sitting next to me looking over my shoulder.

"You're going to the Otai Acedemy?" He asked me. I nodded at him.

"You're the new kid aren't you? Jack Brewer." He said to me. I gave him a quick nod because it was kinda weird that he knew my name.

"I'm Jeng Chi." He held out his hand to shake I took it,"I go to the Otai Acedemy too. My dad is the superviser for Judo wing of the boarding areas. Each wing is named after a different form of martial arts they offer" he pointed to the old man sitting next to him.

"That's cool. So what's it like? The Otai Acedemy?" I asked.

"Well, the waffle bar is a hit. I suggest, if you eat waffles for breakfast, get up before 8 am"

"Good to know" I responded. What is it with that waffle bar? It must be good,"so what classes can you take?" I asked.

"Well, there's your regular high school classes, and the electives you want to take like art, music, etc. and then there's your martial arts classes. You're required to take Tai Chi and Karate, and you can choose to take Kung Fu, Tai Kwo Do, Judo, Jujutsu, or Shinjutsu. I take Judo and Kung Fu. They'll explain this all to you when you get there"

"That's cool. I've never taken any other form or martial arts besides Karate. We did a little Tai Chi in the dojo, but not much" I told him

"You'll pick up where you left off in all your classes. You'll start classes next week. You'll have about 4 days to get to know your way around, since you're starting mid-year"

"That's good to know" I told him. There was an awkward silence that followed. Then one of the flight attendants came over the PA system and said,"ladies and gentlemen. If you would like to sleep please do so now. Since we are switching time zones now would be the time to sleep. We will wake you up when you must be up. I suggest you buckle your seatbelts in case of turbulences. Thank you ladies and gentlemen" then she hung up the PA. I put my seat back a little, but my hands behind my head and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up to a bump. I was thrown into the seat in front if me. The man in that chair in front of me turned around and scolded me. He looked like a middle aged business man. He looked like he traveled a lot. I apologized and sat in my seat. I looked up and saw the seat belt sign was on. I wonder how long that's been on. I quickly buckled it as a flight attendant walked by. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I looked over at Jeng Chi. He was fast asleep along with his father. I took out my cell phone and opened Candy Crush. I know it's an evil game but I'm SO ADDICTED! I opened up level 65. I've been stuck on that one for weeks. I started moving around the colorful candies when the flight attendant came by an asked me if I wanted anything to eat or drink. I asked for a bag of peanuts and a Coke. She gave me the peanuts and told me she'd be right back with my drink.

I continued playing Candy Crush when she returned. I put my tray down and put the small cup on my tray. I put my phone on the tray and opened my peanuts. I put one in my mouth then gagged. I forgot how disgusting airline peanuts can be. I slipped my coke to get that disguisting taste out I my mouth.

About an hour later Jeng Chi woke up. I looked over and saw the food on my tray.

"Hey they came by when I was asleep! I want peanuts!"

"You can have mine" I said handing him the bag.

"Thanks man" he responded, taking the bag from me. He didn't even seem to mind the taste. I shook my head and went back to my game. I played until I ran out of lives. I hate that there are lives. It limits my playing time. I put my phone away and took out my laptop. I opened it and logged in. My screensaver was a picture of me breaking a board. I took out my portable scanner and scanned the two pictures of Kim an I in the photo booth. There was a nice one and one of us making goofy faces. I put them in a collage together and made them my screensaver. It was much better then me showing off. I felt like someone was watching me again. I looked over my shoulder and saw Jeng Chi looking at my computer. I quickly closed the laptop.

"Who's that?" He asked me,"is that your girlfriend?"

"No. I don't have a girlfriend. I did like her though" I told him staring at the computer,"hey. Do you want to see a computer game that's really stupid but awesome?" I asked him, changing the subject.

"Sure!" He said excitedly. I opened the Internet and went to my favorites. I clicked the link and it popped up on the screen.

"Unfair Mario? What's that?" He asked me.

"You'll see" I said as I clicked play. I was on level 4. I was running from a ghost. Then I remembered Jerry told me how to beat it. I stopped runnin from the ghost and let it touch me.

"Dude what are you doing?" Jeng Chi asked me.

"Winning" I said as the victory screen came up. I moved on to level five.

"Hey can I try?" He asked me.

"Sure" I told him handing him the laptop. He started playing. He started getting frustrated. Now THAT is what that game is suppose to do. I laughed as I unlocked my phone. I opened my photos and looked the pictures of me and the guys. There was one of Jerry, Eddie, Milton and I holding Rudy above our heads. The next one was of Jerry doing a vault over a dummy. Then there was one of me standing with Rudy. The next one was of Jerry, Milton and Eddie jumping onto us. There was another one of Jerry and Eddie each eating a half of my face on a piece of cake. I kept flipping through the photos when Jeng Chi shoved my laptop back at me.

"I don't want to play this game anymore" he said to me. Then he looked at my phone.

"Who are they?" He asked me.

"My friends. We took these pictures at my goodbye party. I need to send them to them when we get to Japan"

Speaking of which we're almost there. Look" Jeng Chi pointed out the window. I peered past his father and outside I saw land. Then the pilot came over the PA.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Please fasten your seatbelts, put your seats in the upright position, and turn off all electronic devices. We will be landing soon"

I turned off my laptop and my phone and put them in my carry on. I closed the tray in front of my and pulled my chair forward. I buckled my seatbelt and sat back. I almost forgot gum. I took a pack out my back pocket and took out a few pieces. I put them in my mouth and started chewing.

"What some?" I asked Jeng Chi.

"Sure" he said.

"How many pieces?"

"One is fine, thanks"

"No problem" I said handing him the gum. He put it in his mouth and say back in his chair. I put the gum back in my pocket. I always hate it when planes land. It feels like I'm falling out of the sky. I took a deep breath as we started to descend. I only took about 5 breaths until we were off the runway. I started breathing regularly again as we slowed down to stop.

"Thank you all for flying Japenese Airlines. We hope you all enjoyed your flight and enjoy your time in Japan. Thank you"

Then the seatbelt sign turned off. Everyone unclicked, stood up, and stretched. I got my suitcase out of the overheard compartment. I grabbed my backpack from under the seat and put it on my back. I waited for all the people in front of me to step out. I looked over at Jeng Chi. He didn't look ready to leave at all.

"I've gotta get him up. I'll look for you at school"

"Ok. See you around" I said as I walked out into the aisle. I walked out of the plane and into the connecting hallway. I've always hated those. I walked out and into the airport. There I was a bunch of people waiting to board our plane. I looked for signs that pointed to baggage claim. I didn't see any so I just decided to leave the terminal and wonder through the airport. Then I saw a security officer. I didn't feel like getting lost in a foreign airport so went over to him.

"Excuse me, but where is baggage claim?" I asked him. He looked at me strangely.

"Baggage claim" I said pointing to my bag,"where" I over dramatically shrugged my shoulders. I took out his cell phone and type a little. He turned the screen so I could see it. He was on google translate. The security guard pressed the speak button. The woman's mechanical voice said,"down the next escalator and then follow the signs"

"Thank you" I said. He nodded before I ran off. I went down the escalator and saw signs to baggage claim. I knew I had a lot so I grabbed a trolley. I hung my backpack on the top hook and stood up my carry on on the end of the cart. I went to baggage claim and waited for the bags to start coming out. After waiting for ten minutes before bags started coming. Mine wasn't that hard to miss. I had a very large trunk I had to find a way to haul off the converyer belt. I waited and waited. Most of the people had cleared out because they had gotten their bags. Mine hadn't even come out yet. I glanced around. I saw my trunk on another conveyer belt. I looked at the sign for this baggage claim.

"Oh. Wrong one!" I said as I walked over to the other conveyer belt. I waited for my trunk to pass by me. Then I grabbed the handle and started to pull. Damn it was heavy! What had I packed?! After holding up the bags for two minutes I managed to get my trunk off the conveyer belt and onto the floor. Now I had to get it from the floor to the trolley. First I tried to to just pick it up but I failed. Then I tried turning the trolley on its side and putting the trunk on it. I managed to get the trunk on it but I couldn't stand the trolley up with it on. So I stood it up and tried resting the front end on the trolley. Then I picked up the back end and put it on the trolley.

"Victory!" I shouted. Everyone stared at me. "Sorry. Just a, personal, victory." I said. I smiled and pushed the trolley out the automatic doors. I looked around I was surrounded by tall buildings. I saw a man in front of a car with a sign that said Jackson Brewer. I hate it when people use my full name. I don't know why they can't just use Jack? I know what it means. I walked over to him.

"Jackson Brewer of the Otai Aecdemy?" He asked in a thick Japenese accent. I assumed he didn't know much English. I nodded and he smiled. He summoned me to the back of the car. I grabbed the trolley and brought it behind the car. The driver opened the trunk and started loading my trunk into it. I put my suitcase inside and grabbed my backpack. He gave the trolley to a man who worked at the airport and got into the driver's seat of the car. He started the car and we were off.

Japan, Toyko to be specific, was fascinating. There were tall buildings and colorful billboards, none of which I could read, because they were all in Japenese. We drove for another half hour before we entered the country side. There was nothing more for me to marvel at so I took out my phone and turned it on. I went into my photos and selected the ones from my goodbye party. I put them in a text to Rudy, Milton, Eddie and Jerry. With that I texted, I'm in Japan. It's beautiful here. Here are the pics you wanted. Sorry if I wake you up. I looked out the window and I saw the ocean. It was gorgeous. I looked ahead and saw a large ancient building.

"Is that..." I started before I was cut off by the driver.

"Otai Acedemy" he said. Wow. That's where I'd be living for the next 4 years. We kept driving down the road. It was gorgeous. It was on the side of a mountain. There was another building on a cliff that overlooked the ocean.

"What's that other building?" I asked while pointing at the building on the cliff.

"Otai Temple" he said. "It connected to school" he said. I nodded. While gauking I didn't realize we started driving up the mountain. About halfway up my ears started popping again. I took out another piece and put it in my mouth.

When we made it to the school the driver stopped. I grabbed my backpack and got out. The driver opened the trunk I got out my suitcase. The driver grabbed my trunk and we walked in the front door. Inside there was a man standing there.

"Jackr Brewer. Welcome, to the Otai Acedemy"

So what did you think? Love it? Hate it? Let me know! But don't if you hate it. Just stop reading if you hate it. I know there was no action in this chapter but I thought I was important to do the plane ride. And Jeng Chi is really important. I'm not sure if the action will start in chapter 2 or 3. I hoping to start at the end of chapter 2 or beginning of chapter 3. So until then follow, favorite, and review! No seriously, review, because the first person to review gets a sneak peek of chapter 2.
