Chapter I- Private School

It was another regular day at Shinra High. Friends, homework and the usual surprise pop-quizzes that make the students groan displeased. Yep, your typical high school. We move on to a group of friends, Yoh, Anna, Hao, Pirika, Horo Horo, Ren and Tamao, eating their lunch at their usual table at the cafeteria.

"So what did you guys think of that pop-quiz?" Pirika asked as she dug her fork into the salad she was eating.

"Well, it was really hard." Horo, Pirika's brother replied.

"Every quiz is hard for you, dumbass." Ren said nonchantally, sipping his milk.

"Why you…" Horo Horo threatened.

"What? Can't say anything else, Boro Boro?"

Yoh and Tamao sweat dropped, while Pirika tried to separate the two. Hao just smirked. Just then, Anna had just arrived, dropping her food tray on the table with a quiet thud.

"Hey Anna." Yoh greeted Anna while, Tamao was still staring at her friends bickering at each other.

Anna nodded in reply when an announcement was made. The group of friends settled in their seats as the principal spoke.

Good day students. I am delighted to inform you the students whose names were pulled out from the box, to attend the student-exchange program.

Almost everyone sat up in their seats in momentum, while Anna crunched on her salad. Of course, everyone knew about the program. Every year, at the start of the first semester, six students would be chosen to exchange places with other students from other schools, for two weeks. Anna had never been chosen, so she didn't get her hopes up to high.

The six lucky students are… Asakura Yoh, Asakura Hao…

The pupils clapped their hands.

Usui Pirika, Tamamura Tamao…

The students clapped their hands again.

Tao Ren, Usui Horo Horo, and finally…

Everyone leaned toward the speaker, and…

Kyouyama Anna.

Everyone groaned, and got back to what they were doing.

The mentioned students, please come to the office after you finish your meal, as I will give you the details. That is all. Thank you.

The speaker made a click sound as the group talked excitedly about their trip.

"Wow, I can't believe we're all going!" Pirika exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah… I always did want to be chosen." Tamao agreed.

"This is gonna be exciting." Yoh said smiling as he placed his hands behind his head.

"Well, I just hope there are gonna be lots of food there." Ren smirked at Horo Horo's statement.

Horo saw this and got slightly annoyed.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Horo asked.

"Oh nothing your minute brain can comprehend."

Yoh chuckled amused at his friends bickering, while Tamao and Pirika gushed excitedly about the whole trip. At the corner of his eyes, he watched Anna silently sipping her smoothie, and blushed slightly. Hao smirked, he knew Yoh had always been attracted to Anna. Well actually everyone does, except Anna.

After lunch, the gang headed over to the principal's office.

They all took seats as the principal spoke, "The six of you will go on a trip to California, USA, on plane tomorrow. You will have everything you need inside your hotel rooms, which I reserved back there. Any questions?"

Horo raised his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Usui?"

"What time will we be taking off?"

"At 6:00 am sharp, since the airport is a 30-minute ride car ride from here, and your plane leaves at 7:30."

"What? We have to wake up that early?" Horo whined, while Pirika smacked him on the head.

"What was that for?" Pirika glared at him while Ren smirked.

"I Believe that is all you need to know. Also, I have assigned someone to give you directions there. Have a safe trip."

The students nodded and gave out their thank-yous and stepped out of the office. Yet, out of the corner of their eyes, Anna sighed.

This is going to be a long week.

So how was that? Should I continue? Please give me some feedback, I appreciate it.
