~Amu~

I stepped out of the limousine and looked at the bustling airport in front of me, I sighed as I ran my hand through my pink hair. I couldn't believe that in a few short hours I will be in a whole other state and attending an elite boarding school that was for the gifted and whose' purpose was to enhance a person's natural talent. Being a child actress, I wasn't so surprised to be invited, but the limousine and bodyguard was a bit too much, I thought wryly.

"Hello? Are you Amu Hinamori?" a voice jolted me out of my thoughts. I turned to see a very professional looking woman wearing a business suit.

"Yeah," I replied, "Amu Hinamori, nice to meet you." I held my hand out to shake.

She shook my hand and introduced herself, "Yukari Sanjou, I'm the school's secretary, nice to meet you." She looked at her watch, "though I would love to stand around and talk some more, there are people waiting."

I laughed sheepishly, "Yeah, I probably shouldn't keep them waiting."

As Yukari motioned for me to come, the bodyguard hoisted the bags out of the limousine and lifted all four suitcases out without breaking a sweat.

I started toward the front entrance of the airport only to be turned around by Yukari, "Your jet is this way." I flashed her an embarrassed smile and just let her guide me to our designated plane.

My jaw dropped as I saw the size of the plane we were supposed to fly on. It was huge, not quite as big as a 777, but more of a 747. "Is this all just for us?" I asked in awe. I may be rich, but I'm not snotty enough to buy my own private jet.

Yukari shook her head, "The school is newly opened, and so everybody who accepted an invitation to the school was picked up today." She pushed her glasses up, "You are the last one and we should probably get you introduced to some of your future classmates."

I shook myself out of my amazement and walked up the ramp, finally going into the plane itself. I marveled at its size, "I really need one of these when I get home," I whispered to myself.

"Come again?" a voice asked me, jerking we out of my thoughts.

I turned around to see a beautiful girl with blonde hair and purple eyes. "Oh… nothing," I replied belatedly.

The girl stuck out her hand, "Utau Hoshina, singer, you might have heard of me."

My jaw dropped, "You're Utau Hoshina? Like The Utau Hoshina, singer extraordinaire?"

She blushed, "If you want to put it that way, yeah. Please just call me Utau."

I shook her hand, "Amu Hinamori, nice to meet you."

It was time for her to be shocked, "The Amu Hinamori? Actress extraordinaire?"

I laughed, "Please just call me Amu."

She surprised me by grabbed my arm and pulling me into the plane interior, "You've got to meet my friends, they're going to be so excited!"

I stumbled, "Slow down, we have a four hour flight to get past introductions."

She slowed down a little, "Sorry, how about I tell you about myself first?" she didn't wait for me to answer, " I'm 17, my birthday is November 9, I live or lived in New York City, I have an older brother named Ikuto, my parents are dead, and yeah." She looked at me expectantly, "It's your turn."

"Oh," I was rather taken aback that she said that with such ease and not so much as a thought. 'Well, I'm Amu, I'm 16 almost 17, my birthday is December 24, I have a younger sister named Ami, uh… and I lived in Miami." I added with an afterthought.

Utau laughed, "Don't be so closed off, Amu." I blinked at her, not understanding.

"Hey Utau! Over here!" a guy's voice yelled. I turned to see a guy with green eyes and chestnut colored hair waving his hands around like crazy, even though there were no other people around.

Utau literally dragged me there, "Hey everyone, this is Amu, she is 16, almost 17, her birthday is December 24, her younger sister's name is Ami, and she lived in Miami."

I stared at her, how had she remembered that? The guy earlier must have had read my mind, "Utau has a crazy good memory, whilst I can barely remember what I had for breakfast." He laughed, "I'm Kukai Souma, 17, birthday is August 17, I have four older brothers, Kaido, Shuusui, Unkai and Rento. I was also from New York City."

Utau looked at him weird, "Do you not get it? This is THE Amu, as in Amu Hinamori."

Kukai's face clouded with confusion, then it brightened, "Oh, you mean this is the girl voted as the World's Brightest New Star!" He gave Utau an exasperated smile, "You could've just told me."

In a surprisingly childish act, Utau just stuck her tongue out at him. "He didn't mention that he is one of the best soccer players in the world."

I noticed that the plane's interior looked more like a limousine than that of a plane itself. The seats were set so that they were facing each other and each seat looked like a first class one themselves.

"Please sit down and buckle up, the plane will take off anytime now." The intercom blared out. Everyone sat down in a seat and buckled up.

I laughed at the childish fight still continuing between Utau and Kukai and turned to the other people in the group, "Hi, I'm Amu Hinamori, as Utau somewhat introduced." I was left looking at a very mismatched looking group consisting of a petite honey blonde, a somewhat childish looking girl, a guy with very long violet hair and a guy with some thick glasses.

Utau noticed that my attention moved elsewhere so she abandoned her argument with Kukai and instead introduced me to the people. She pointed to the petite blonde, "Rima Mashiro, 16, birthday February 6, no siblings, from Chicago. She's known as the Goddess of Comedy, even if it doesn't seem like it"

Rima gave me a nod.

Then Utau pointed to the other girl, "Yaya Yuiki, 15, birthday May 25, one younger brother named Tsubasa, from Chicago. She is also an actress, though not quite as renowned as you."

Yaya surprised me by hugging me, "I know we'll be best friends, Rima thinks so too, but she is too shy to say anything" She let out all in one breath.

I laughed, "I'm sure we will."

Utau moved on to the guy with very long violet hair and said, "Nagihiko Fujisaki, though everyone calls him Nagi. 17, birthday July 4, no siblings, from Orlando. He is one of the best dancers you will ever meet."

Nagihiko, or Nagi, gave me a smile, "Nice to meet you Amu Hinamori."

I smiled back, "Same, but just Amu please."

Then she pointed at the guy with glasses, "Kairi Sanjou, 15, birthday June 12, one older sister named Yukari, from Augusta. Extremely smart."

I turned to Kairi, "You're sister is the one who escorted me here right?"

He nodded affirmatively, "Unfortunately, yes, that is my sister. Did she offend you in any way?" I shook my head.

"Good," He seemed very relieved about the fact.

At the end of this conversation, I turned to see Utau looking around, "What are you looking for?" I asked her.

Utau corrected me, "Who, not what. I'm looking for my- there he is!"

I looked around, confused. "There's who?"

"My brother, Ikuto." she replied in a 'duh' voice. "That's him."

I followed her gaze to a tall guy with dark blue hair. Even from a distance, I can tell that he's good looking.

Utau must have read my mind because she said, "Don't be distracted by his looks, he can be quite the devil when he wants to."

I laughed, "Don't all siblings think that of each other?"

Utau thought for a moment about this, "I guess… Anyway, that's Ikuto Tsukiyomi, also known as my older brother. 18, birthday December 1, he's almost 19. He's also a violin prodigy."

I shrugged, "Not much of a socialist is he?" I asked, noting the way he sat a little ways off of the group even though we were the only people aboard the plane.

Sensing our gaze, Ikuto turned and looked at us. Utau waved, but I just stood there awkwardly. Ikuto stared at me in surprise and then smirked. I looked away.

Four hours of more intros and gossip, we were found landing in Los Angeles Elite Boarding School for the Talented.
