Chapter 1
Mail Call
"Final exams! Blah!" Asuka whined, "I still don't understand some of the kanji."
I looked up, "Why? What did you get?"
"I got a B+," she said tossing her test at me.
"Its not so bad." I said, "I understand all of the kanji and I still managed a b."
"Well that's you! I got all of the easiest questions wrong!"
"Asuka," I said, "you still graduated, even with one lousy B+ on your exam." I said.
"You are right, I suppose. Hey, baka-Shinji, where do you plan to go to college?"
"Well," I sighed, "I don't know yet. I was thinking of the German University in. umm," I thought hard, "I can't remember where it is except it is in the middle part."
Asuka's face lit up. "What? Really?! That's where I went! Berlin right?"
"Yeah, I think so."
She glomped me and gave me the cutest look ever. I melted at it. But I was also annoyed. She only looked like that when she wanted something.
"Can I come with you?!" she smiled "Please!"
I sweat dropped. I was right. "I guess so." Perhaps she just misses Germany.
"Yeah! Great! I know a place where we can stay too!"
Great, my own personal tour guide.
Of course, we just graduated and our test's came through the mail. Misato wasn't home yet; she was too busy getting supplies for the party tonight.
"So, what was your second choice?" Asuka asked, picking up the rest of the mail.
"Well, I applied to Brown and Yale over to the US, but they rejected me already. Then I tried Tokyo-3 University, too. But it was full. Berlin hasn't replied ye-"
"ACH, MEIN GOTT!" The German saying cut me off.
"What?" I asked.
"Shinji, this letter is from Germany! Here!" she gave me the letter.
I opened it up carefully and closed my eyes tight as I took a deep breath and began to take it out. I decided against it and closed the envelope again.
"Shinji, what?" Asuka asked, looking confused.
"I. I'm gonna let Misato tell me."
"I see," Asuka said "but the suspense is killing me!"
I put the envelope on the table and went to my room. I laid down on my bed and fell asleep.
