Previously on away from home:

"Passengers leaving to Arizona please arrive at gate 65D now." The loud speaker said. Rowen sighted and looked at his friends. "Well I will mail you every time I get. Keep in touch." He said. "Touma honey time to go." Mrs. Hashiba said. Rowen looked at his friends again. "Screw the rumors of hugs is for girls. Group hugs." He said. The guys and Rowen gave a group hug that lasted for more than a minute. After giving a hug, Rowen picked up his bags and gave an appropriate bow before leaving. "See you guy's next summer." Rowen said before disappearing into the crowds. "Ja-ne!" the guys said in unison.

Arizona USA:

"Well here we are." Mrs. Hashiba announced. Rowen looked up from the book he was reading. 'Geez It's about time. My butt is numb' He thought. The whole drive was two hours and a half. Rowen slid his window open and looked astonish at the place. The whole school was like a small city in the middle of a desert. The buildings were big. Making him look small like a pesty ant. "Well let's go son." Mr. Hashiba said. Rowen sighted as he put his book away in his backpack. Coming out of the car, Rowen thought that he would faint in no time. The weather was hot. Picking up his small suitcase, Rowen followed his parents into what he'd suspect was the main office.

Rowen looked on both sides. There were kids his own age having a basketball competition. The only thing is that they don't have a team uniform. In fact they all wore navy blue slacks and a white blouse. "How in God's name they can stay in dark clothing's in a hot climate here?" Rowen asked to no one specific. "Well Touma, they are really used to the weather here." Mrs. Hashiba explained. "Figures." Rowen muttered. That's when he saw a group of girls giggling to his left. They wore navy blue mini skirt that was not knee level and their blouse was the same as the guys. White.

Rowen whistle to the likeness of the girls. "Touma that is in proper to do!" Mrs. Hashiba said. "C'mon mom! It is a fact in life." Rowen said.

After entering into the main office, Rowen sat on a bench that was close to the office his parent's entered. "Well, I guess this is good-bye to freedom" He said to no one. Sitting on the bench was killing his back. All ready he misses home. He missed his one and only friends. Even if he made friends at this school, they would never take the place of his one and true friends. 'Sage, Cye, Kento, Ryo, How I miss you guys.' He thought.

"Ahem" An unfamiliar voice said. Rowen jumped to his feet to be face to face with an old lady. "I suppose you are Touma Hashiba. Am I correct?" She asked. "Y..Yes ma'am." Rowen said. The lady walked around Rowen inspecting him. "Well I can see that you are low on discipline, and your posture of a gentlemen is not in you. But no matter, that will be fixed in no time record." She said. She then turns to Rowen's parents who were three feet behind her. "Thank you Mrs. White. I'm sure Touma here will behave." Mrs. Hashiba said. "He will behave. That is no doubt." Mrs. White said as she gave a glare look to Rowen that almost made him piss.

Mrs. White walked Rowen and his parents to the outside of the main office. "As you realize, Mr. Hashiba has to wear a uniform like all students here in Lincon's private school." Mrs. White said. Rowen's parent's looked at him. Rowen was wearing blue jeans with a tight white shirt that showed off his abdominal muscles. "Hmm…so we see." Mr. Hashiba said as he brushed his greasy blue hair. "Even though he wears a uniform, he will pop out from the crowed due to his blue hair. And I must ask.." Mrs. White said as she turned to Rowen. "Is that dye or natural hair?" She asked. Rowen gulped before answering. "It's natural ma'am." He said. "Well then, it will be the first time I will have a student with natural blue hair." She said.

Once they were out from the main office, Mrs. Hashiba gave a hug to Rowen. "Be good Touma. Your father and I will be calling you." She said. "I'm sorry, but telephones has been taken away from the student's rights since three years ago because of some phone pranks students did." Mrs. White said. Mr. and Mrs. Hashiba looked at her. "Well very well then. Mail us when you have the chance hon." Mrs. Hashiba said. "You can always E-mail you know." Mrs. White said. "Splendid! Rowen you know our E-mail address so don't hesitate to mail us all right son?" Mr. Hashiba said. Rowen nodded his head. "Yep I memorized them by heart." Rowen said. After giving the last hug, Rowen tried once more to get his parents changed their minds. "Please. Don't leave me here alone in America." He said with big blue begging eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Hashiba began to laugh. "See how funny he is. Mrs. White." Mr. Hashiba said as he stroked his son's blue hair. "So I see." She said.

After giving the last hug and an appropriate bow, Mr. and Mrs. Hashiba left their son behind at LPS. (Lincon's private school) Rowen waves good-bye to his parents till they were no longer in sight. He then looked at the sun that started to set. 'Good-bye freedom. Good-bye' He thought. Rowen then followed Mrs. White to the dorms. As he enters the dorm, his eyes widen in astonishment. The room was small, but it held a bed –which was next to the window-, a closet, a night table that was next to his bed, and a lamp. The good thing was that he wasn't sharing the room with no one. "Starting tomorrow, you will be wearing nothing more than the uniforms. You have three set of uniforms." Mrs. White said coldly as she opened the closet that held three unwrinkled uniforms and one pair of black shoes. Rowen nodded his head as he set his things next to his bed. "So when do I wear my own clothing's?" He asked. Mrs. White glared at him once more. "Never." She sneered. "You are now restricted on many things like all students here at LPS. You will follow our rules and regulation or meet the punishments." She said in a cold sneering voice. Rowen looked at her with a hint of fear in his blue eyes. 'Hello hell' He thought. Mrs. White left the room leaving a stunned, afraid Rowen behind. Once she was gone, Rowen raced to the bathroom and locked himself in it. (Now you do not want to know what he was doing right. *v*)
