Chapter 3: First Day In Japan

"_______, Wake up, we're here!" you felt yourself was being shake by someone, you opened your eyes to see Thanh with her hand on your shoulder, "Uh.Thanh?" you asked half sleepy, "Wake up, we're in Japan already!" Thanh said, you could tell that she was excited. You looked out the window, the plane is lowering itself slowly, you can see the Japan airport by now through the clouds. "Yay!" you heard Kori said, she was looking out the window as well, "Kori! We'll be there soon enough, calm down!" Tomoko told her friend. You smile at the way Kori was acting. "What? I can't help it, I've wanted to go to Japan for a long time!" Kori protested, "Yeah, yeah." Tomoko mumbled. "Are they always like that?" you whisper to Thanh, she giggled quietly at the question, "Yeah, most of the time, Kori is the energetic type and Tomoko is too. But she's a bit laid back than Kori." she replied just as quiet, you nodded in understanding.

You all walked out of the airport and start to look around after a while when the plane made its arrival. "Hey!" you heard someone called, you all turned to look at who it was, there were a woman and a man waving to the four of you, "Huh? Who are they?" Kori asked out of curiosity, Thanh and Tomoko shrugged at the same time, "Never mind." Kori said. The woman came closer "You kids must be the ones your school sent from America aren't you?" she asked, "Well, yes." Tomoko replied uncertainly. The woman's face lit up, "Great, we're here to pick you up." she said. "Uh." you all look at each other for a few seconds, hesitating. "Come on, you're going to love the place you'll be living at for this one year!" the woman called as she pushed you all into the car with the man. "Ok, are we suppose to be happy?" Thanh asked, "I don't think so, not till all of this is in places." Tomoko said, her face looked worried. "So, are you the people who will be taking care of us while we're here?" Kori asked the woman, she nodded "Yes, your school have provided everything for you, now all you have to worry about what you're suppose to do." she said. "And that might be.?" Tomoko asked, "School of course, tomorrow is your first day." she finished, "WHAT?!" all of you were shocked, it's too soon, you need at least a short time to fit in. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. Oh by the way, you can call me Ms. Mihona, I'll be helping you with whatever you need." she continued.

You stepped out of the car and stared at the big house in front of you, Kori, Thanh and Tomoko were also surprised. "This is where you'll living in. I think you'll be please, come in. And choose your own rooms." Ms. Mihona said as she opened the door. You all walked and look around the big place, the rooms were in the hallway, all of the doors have each of your names on it. You walked to where yours was and opened the door, you gasped as soon as you got in, it was beautiful, 'Wow' you thought as you put your backpack on the bed and explore the room, while you were looking a knock came on the door, "_______, it's time you should get something to eat, the others are waiting for you, dinner's ready!" Ms. Mihona's voice came from the other side of the door, "I'll be right there!" you yelled back. Before dinner Tomoko came up to you, "Hey _______ , would you like to come to my room later after dinner? It's right across from yours, I've already asked Thanh and Kori, they said they'll be there. I thought we might want to talk together about tomorrow before we go to sleep." she told you. You thought about this and finally gave your answer, "Sure, I have nothing to do anyway." you said, Tomoko smiled "Great, see you later!" she said as she ran to find the other two. After dinner you came to Tomoko's room as said and knocked the door, the door cracked open and you see Tomoko's face "Oh hi ______, come in." she stepped aside to let you in, you walked in and look around her room, it was just as beautiful as yours, only a little different in the decorations. "Hi ______!" you see Thanh and Kori were already there on Tomoko's bed. You sat down next to Thanh, "You're already here." you said, "Of course, Kori was the first one." Tomoko said as she sat down by Kori's side. You all ended up talking about the next day and how school is going to be, you were all nervous, you found out that the school are close so you'll be walking together. You kept on going till you have to go to sleep, you all went back to your room then, tired for the first day in Japan, you fell into unconsciousness the moment you fell on the bed, the last thought you have was about tomorrow.
