I relaxed and snuggled into my first-class seat, turning to my first class food. I saw Sango-chan sniff her food before digging into her food like a guy with corner of my eyes, even though it hurt like crap, rolling your eyes to the side like that.

The plane was beyond your words. First class everything, baby! The seat was like a medium sized beanbag, black or white, and there was a little table you could fold and slide it under your seat. A romance movie, much to my dismay, was on for the girls' entertainment, occupying them while they ate like hungry horses, something they wouldn't do in front of their boyfriends, or any other hot guys they were trying to impress. The bathroom, I found out later, had a toilet, a sink, and a small shower stall, with soaps, shampoos, and conditioners ready on the counter.

I smelt my food through my nostril, since I was a little afraid to take a peek under that silver foil that covered the food tray. I poked at it once, and it didn't move. Now completely satisfied with my little tests, I took off the foil and started to eat the oden combo with my ever-wonderful chopsticks. ODEN!!! Not just any oden! The oden from this one famous restaurant!! The smell!!! The taste!!!

Savoring the taste of oden swirling inside my mouth, I glanced at Sango-chan's tray, which was the okonomiyaki half and sushi half combo. Okonomiyaki was good, but oden was better! Yay oden!! I lowered my oden bowl down on the folding-table and peeked at the movie that was on for girls' entertainment, but regretted it as soon as I found myself trying to poke out my eyeballs with my chopsticks while Sango-chan held me back as best as she can, finding it hard since she was seated sideways. The horror!!! The HORROR!!!! Another TRIANGLE RELATIONSHIP WITH CATFIGHTS!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!

"I see that you don't really fancy I plus YOU plus MY FRIEND=TRIANGLE," Sango-chan grinned at me after calming down by stuffing oden down my protesting throat. I mumbled a reply through the oden in my mouth. "It was a great movie though… Very amusing, I might add," Sango-chan said lightly, "It was quite an unusual triangle relationship."

I shuddered again at the word "triangle relationship." I don't really fancy romance movies… My jaws hurt... "How long does it take to reach the place, by the way?"

"Approximately 14 hours," Sango-chan shrugged, "Don't know why it takes that long anyway…"

Four… FOURTEEN HOURS????!!!!!

In the Same Room with a Dog

Chapter 2: The Grand Arrival

----

After the long flight, a veeerrryyy long flight, when I was starting to feel a little nauseated, the stewardess announced that in 10 minutes we will arrive at the school. I instantly ran to the window, (not that I really ran to it… I was seated by one…) staring into the majestic glorious sky itself. I was starting to notice very little tiny islands on the beautiful horizon. It was around 1:30 in the noon, or the TV screen tells me, and as the plane got closer to those islands, it started to descend slowly, making my ears plugged.

Sango-chan was peacefully taking a nap next to my seat, while the other girls in our section started to squeal about guys in the school excitedly. Mentally rolling my eyes at those almost unrecognizable squeals, I turned to my attention to the scenery again, enjoying the white fluffy clouds pass by, as the island we are descending on got clearer and clearer while the fluffy clouds blocking the view disappeared.

The first thing that caught my…atten-…-tion..? "WHAT THE HELL????!!!!!!!!!"

Sango-chan sat up in her seat immediately, looking around frantically for the source of that horrible noise I made and yelled, "WE ARE BEING ATTACKED???!!!!" The girls in our section, started to scream like a herd of banshee from Harry Potter Series, covering their head with their slender arms while running around in panic. Some girls whipped out their pen and paper and started to write their death wish hastily. Couples of girls like Sango-chan went into a war-mode and were instructing the girls to take out their materials that could be used as weapons. For the whole time, my dull blue gray eyes were glued to the scenery, my mouth agape, as I stared at the source of the chaos that was going on in the section.

There was a friggin' castle in the middle of the island!!!!!

A humongous Victorian castle that even outmatching Hogwarts from Harry Potter Series was just sitting there in the middle of the island. What was it? Some kind of ancient ruins, maybe? I tapped my chin while studying the castle carefully. It didn't seem that old and ancient as it's supposed to be, though… The castle was a larger, fancier, and brighter version of Hogwarts, I noticed. Surrounding the castle was a very large field, possibly 5 times the normal soccer field. And not to mention a very clean and blue looking lake near the forest surrounding the castle and the field… I squinted at the other island that wasn't so far away from the castle. Was that…an amusement park?

The girls continued to scream shrilly, making Sango-chan give up on military lecturing and instead telling them to calm down with her fist waving in front the girls' faces. But that didn't improve anything, because the girls, instead of calming, burst into a hysterical tears and bawls while Sango-chan flinched at their volume with a surprised expression. The girls who'd been writing death wish silently set their pencils down and started to murmur a prayer. The girls in war mode continued to go through the small cabinets on the seats, looking for an emergency bombs or any kind of explosive weapons.

Suddenly, there were quick footsteps outside the door leading to other section, and with a quite large slam, Kaize-senpai barged in hastily, her neat and perfect hair not even drooping slightly, "I heard screams," she said calmly, "What's going on?"

The girls froze in their mid-action, blinking at Kaize-senpai with confused expression clearly evident on their face, "Weren't we being attacked, Kaize-senpai?" Sango-chan asked the cool crimson-eyed senior as the representative of the panicked girls, obviously knowing that if we were being attacked, then Kaize-senpai would know instead of asking us.

"What are you talking about? There were no attacks… Nobody knows where the school is," the cool crimson-eyed senior answered coolly back at confused Sango-chan, who was starting to turn hue of red slowly in embarrassment. The other girls groaned and grumbled, obviously not liking the fact that they panicked very un-lady-like for nothing and some of girls who wrote the death wish silently threw their paper away before getting embarrassed themselves.

While the girls were cleaning up their mess after Kaize-senpai instructed them and left, the stewardess announced that they were about to descend, so that we would have our seatbelts on when they did. Sango-chan came back and sat down, sheepishly smiling at me while the red hue of embarrassment continued to stain her usual a little tanned but creamy cheeks. She silently buckled up, finishing up with a pull at her seatbelt to be sure.

"I guess this is it, Kagome-chan," Sango-chan said a little nervously, "We are arriving at the school…and that means I'll get assigned to a new roommate, new room, new schedule, and new classes. I'm mostly nervous about the roommate. My last roommate and I didn't really get along last year…"

"Ah… I kind of forgot about that…" I answered sheepishly.

"Of course, it's exciting. You don't know who your roommate is until you get your folder at the school before we sit there for an hour listening principal talk and attend the School Start Meeting," Sango-chan shrugged a bit, staring into the back of the seat in front of us. The plane started to descend quickly, and I couldn't see the scenery because the stewardess instructed us to close it unless we wanted the particles of glass stuck in our eyeball… I shudder again at the cruel stewardess's description.

After my ears screamed in pain for 3 minutes for being plugged, I felt the plane finally touching the ground a few times, before settling down to stay on it. The plane slowly came to stop.

"Students, please get your bags and exit patiently through the section exit at the front. I repeat, please get your bags and exit patiently through the section exit at the front. Thank you," the stewardess announced through the speakers crisply before ending her statement with a clear click. Sango-chan and I opened the cabinet above us carefully and took out our bags and closed it. The exit was at the front of the section just like the stewardess told us, a smiling stewardess standing at the exit, muttering "arigato gozaimasu" at the students.

With that, I got off the plane, struggling with my bags, while Sango-chan instructed me to follow her to the bus we are taking. I wondered where the school was… The only things I saw on the islands were the castle and the huge field. (I didn't even know about the amusement park… Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me…)

"Sango-chan," I called out to her while struggling a little with my bags, "Where's the school?"

"We won't reach there until the sunset, Kagome-chan," Sango-chan smiled at me, "We still have to drop our bags at the jet you see over there," she shifted so she was able to point at three jets by the plane, "…take the bus till we reach the port, and take the boat to reach the other portion of the islands owned by the school."

I raised an eyebrow at the islands part, but I shrugged it off. So, what to do till we reach the sunset, I wonder…


After dropping off our bags, taking the bus with our section, and going to the port, I was already exhausted, exhausted as a tired monkey. It was slowly reaching 4:30 P.M. (Yes, I did change the time of my watch while watching that dreaded TV screen that tells us the time and the remaining distance.) Sango-chan fell asleep on the bus, and was emptying her stomach by throwing up almost constantly on the medium sized boat. I patted her back at that moment soothingly, not having anything to do since we had to ride on the bus and the boat with our section.

I shifted again before my foot fell asleep, still rubbing Sango-chan's back, who was still puking, but not throwing up. Sango-chan got up slowly, rubbing her mouth with a tissue before cleaning her mouth out with a mint flavored liquid that was sitting next to her the whole time.

"Kagome-chan," Sango-chan called out weakly, "Care to help me walk? I'm still a bit queasy, so I might start to throw up at the wrong move…"

I shrugged and walked over to her, helping her walk back to our current seats. Sango-chan staggered a bit, but she was okay, I think, except she looked a little green in the face. I sympathized her silently in my head. She was born with the sea sickness after all…

"Can you tell me a little about the school?" I asked carefully, not wanting to make her vomit the whole way again. I wanted to ask her in the plane, but Sango-chan was either busy picking at her food or taking a nap, so I couldn't. And I didn't really want to go to a school without any background information at least…even though I did.

"Sorry Kagome-chan," Sango-chan said apologetically, her face looking a little green, "Our lips are completely sealed till the end School Start Meeting. I can't tell you anything… But all your answers will be answered at the School Start Meeting, even though it'll be a boring session for me, since I already went through that last year."

"I hope my brother is okay," I murmured, turning my attention to the crystal blue ocean, "He's quite shy… I'm a bit worried, even though Shippo-kun went with him…"

"You have a younger brother?" Sango-chan asked curiously, "I have one too! How old is he?"

"He's an upcoming freshman," I smiled a bit even though it quite didn't reach my dull blue gray eyes.

"I hope Kohaku meets your brother," Sango-chan smiled, even though it reached her sparkling magenta eyes unlike mine, "Kohaku's shy too… He's an upcoming freshman. He was quite nervous about it. I mean, it's not the everyday thing when you see your brother almost whine when you are about to leave him," Sango-chan laughed, her face turning a little greener than before.

"Sango-chan, are you okay? You are looking a little greener than before…" I quietly commented on her face color, watching it darken a little bit more, before Sango-chan scurried away, bending over the railing of the boat. I heard her puke, and the upcoming sounds of something that suspiciously sounded like the food coming up her throat with couple of splashes below her. I sighed and hurriedly went over to her to soothe her.

Poor girl, I thought as I rubbed her back constantly, while she vomited practically every food she ate on the air plane.


I watched as the island came clearer and clearer by the second. By the looks of it, it looked pretty big. I squinted a little bit more, trying to figure out how it looked like, but it was pretty much useless. It was pretty misty even though the sky was clear as that lake I saw in the plane a while ago. Our boats, and the other boats around us, slowly neared the island, even though the only thing that was audible was the large port for the boats.

I got off the boat with very relieved Sango-chan, whose face immediately turned into a rosy hue of pink from sickening shade of green as soon as we got off the boat. Sango-chan started to hike up the little hill at the front, dragging me along with her once again, making me feel like a cheap potato sack, which was incredibly sad.

Then, she abruptly stopped, and I bumped into her firm back, hurting my nose. While I whimpered, holding my poor, poor nose, Sango-chan screamed into the sky triumphantly at the top of the hill. I peeked over Sango-chan's shoulder and found…

The same castle I saw in the plane… (Insert my widened dull blue gray eyes with dramatic dun dun dun! playing in the background.) …and the large field!!! And…what are those carriages waiting at the top of the hill, a.k.a. where we're standing right now?

"Come on!" Sango-chan grabbed my hands, and so yet again, I was dragged like a cheap potato sack. We basically moved over a bit, even though Sango-chan dragged me the whole way as if I didn't weigh more than a block of Styrofoam. She jumped on one of the carriages, which was bad for me since I wasn't a part of her body… So I literally crashed into the carriage step. I grimaced, grabbing my knees as a natural reflex. Sango-chan apologized over and over again while we were waiting for other two girls to join in our carriage.

The carriage was very unusual, something you'd see in some kind of traditional Japanese fantasy novels. It was completely black with silver decorations, and gigantic wheels were attached to the front sides, while the smaller wheels were attached to the back sides. There were no horses or any kind of device that'd have the carriages moving…

"Is this carriage empty?" a girl asked while popping her head inside, her pigtails not even drooping to the side, "Maybe a room for two…?"

"Yeah," I answered her, "There is a room for two."

The crimson eyed girl with her inky black pigtails thanked me and hopped in with a girl with medium shaded brown hair and stunning emerald green eyes. "I'm Raijyo Souten," she introduced herself, "And this is my cousin, Koiyou Ayame," she pointed at the green eyed girl sitting next to her who smiled brightly in return.

"Higurashi Kagome," I smiled at her, once again my smile not reaching my eyes, "And this is Taihiratsu Sango," I nudged the magenta eyed girl next to me to emphasize the point.

"Hi," Sango-chan greeted with enthusiasm. The other two once again greeted back with smiles. I noticed that the Koiyou-san was slightly pale with lack of fats in her cheeks, but decided to not comment on that. Who knows, maybe she was on a diet…

"We are ready to set off!" one male voice was heard from outside, "I think it's time to roll those carriages down, Eric-san!"

Roll the carriages down…? I raised an eyebrow at that weird description.

"Ah! Then have them go!" another old male voice answered the first one brightly, even though slightly muffled by the noises from surrounding carriages. Before I knew what was going to happen, this happened:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"KKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"

"YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"GGGGGGGGYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

For those of you who don't understand what happened, this is what happened in the carriage before we screamed our head off:

We hear the males outside the carriage shuffle around after that death sentence they yelled out. Then one shuffles behind the wall of the carriage. I feel the slight pressure where he placed his hand, since I was sitting against the back wall with Sango-chan. Sango-chan and Koiyou-san looks slightly confused, but they still look hesitant and cautious. Of course, Raijyo-san and I just sit there, confused as a herd of flying chickens. There is a slight push against my back, back wall to be exact. The carriage slowly rolls down a bit, before picking up the pace and rolling down the land, out of control, almost reaching 100mph, I swear!

Inside the carriage, you see Raijyo-san gripping her seat like a lobster and screaming the first time, "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then you move to the right, Koiyou-san is tightly gripping at her seatbelt as if there was no tomorrow and screams, "KKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" (Nobody except Koiyou-san noticed the seatbelt. Sad, isn't it?)

You move diagonally from Koiyou-san, and there you see me clinging to the door handle of the carriage, screaming for the third time. "YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then you move to my left, finally finding Sango-chan taking cover on the floor while she screams the last time, "GGGGGGGGYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The carriage continued to roll down the land with no control, while we were screaming our head off in the carriage, faint screams from other carriages coming from the nearby carriages. (It's a surprise that we were able to hear other girls scream from other carriages while we are screaming too.) Then we stopped suddenly with a rough jerk, us almost torn from our good, safe, comfy seats.

The result:

Koiyou-san's face is pale as a ghost, while she breathes in and out almost hysterically, her hair completely out of place. Raijyo-san's usual calm and mysterious face is frozen into horrified expression while her perfect pigtails are still stationary. Sango-chan's face is now turning purple instead of green, so I'm guessing that she has speed sickness too, while her strands are falling out of their place. And me…just sitting there, incomparable to the others. (It's not like I had a mirror or anything…)

Then the door opened to reveal a cheerful young Japanese man in his twenties with freckles, "Hello ladies! We are now at the Tokyo Private School entrance! Now if you please step off the carriage!" his eyes ran amusedly over their crumpled and frozen form, "Why, you ladies are horrified as the chipmunks!"

"Just shut up, will you, Hiro-san?" Sango-chan grumbled a bit before straightening herself and jumping off the carriage a little shook. "The run-away carriages… Man, principal-san sure does have weird sense of humor…"

"Yeah, last year…" Koiyou-san shuddered, "…it was a raging rollercoaster on the loose with 8 pairs riding on it… Ours practically got crushed against the castle wall…" she shuddered again at her memories, "…because one of the operators couldn't stop ours…"

"That was yours? I feel sorry for you, Koiyou-san," Sango said sympathetically, "Horrible, horrible, memories…" Sango-chan sighed dramatically, tapping her foot impatiently while she waited for me to finish tidying up, "Principal-san is kind of weird… But she's cool. She's not like any other old farts…" she finished her sentence up with a perfect roll of her eyes.

I finished tidying myself and got off the carriage with shaky legs, Raijyo-san and Koiyou-san after me, even though Koiyou-san practically collapsed as soon as she got off the carriage. After Sango-chan shooed Hiro-san away, we silently made ways through the crowds of students, even though it was a little since most of the students were still paralyzed in their carriage. Ayame-chan and Souten and Sango-chan and I separated after a while. (And Ayame-chan and Souten-chan forced me to use more endearing nicknames, -chan, instead of formal –san.)

The castle was even more beautiful when we came closer to it. Sango-chan casually walked to the castle gates, but I halted, unsure if I was supposed to enter the gate or something… The castle didn't look like a school after all…

"Kagome-chan?" Sango-chan called, giving me a curious look, "Why did you stop?"

"Ah… You see…" I stuttered a bit nervously, "Are we even allowed to enter this castle..?"

Sango-chan blinked at my blankly, and I shifted a little uncomfortably. When the information finally registered her brain, she slapped her forehead, "Oh! I forgot! You are new!! Sorry, Kagome-chan! I forgot!!!" her hand left her forehead, "Well… By the way, this is the school, just to let you know…" I took a look at the castle at that comment.

Very tall and gray castle walls… Humungous castle gates… A gigantic Victorian castle… 4 towers at the corners of the walls that formed square… And couple of other buildings you could see on the other side of the walls… I scratched my chin, studying the castle carefully, but not slowly.

……she's got to be kidding me…

Before I was able to spit that comment at Sango-chan, yet again, I was already dragged away like a cube of Styrofoam to that wonderful architecture they called school. Other students began to crowd behind us, but we got into the gate just in time to ditch them. We walked across the lawn, me gawking at the castle, and Sango-chan giving me a perfect eye roll and dragging me along with her.

We walked up the perfectly clean white stairs into the gigantic black castle entrance. My stomach began to churn a little uncomfortably, but I ignored it and followed Sango-chan's lead and the crowd. Students entered the gates, all of them chatting unstoppably that I couldn't really hear anything except buzzes and excited whispers. I quietly entered the entrance, my head bowed hesitantly even though Sango-chan just slipped through the crowd like wind.

I looked up hesitantly. I halted, took a step back, looked at the castle, stepped back in, and stared at the interior design again.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF-????!!!!

If the outside was old Victorian style, then the inside was traditional Japanese style, complete with red and black colors, the wooden floor, and the shouji screen doors. And did I mention those cute little black roof and the bamboos? They all blended in, making the interior look like that onsen from Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi. I stared and stared, my mouth agape, while Sango-chan grabbed for my wrist again before I was lost in the crowd.

Sango-chan made her way through the crowd, with me being dragged, to this table near the entrance with the little banner that said, "Registration Info Table," where this young Japanese woman with dyed blonde hair and brown eyes sat there while chewing her gum loudly. Sango-chan arrived there faster than other students, being the first one in the line and called, "Hiromi-san, I'm here for the folders."

Hiromi-san sat up quickly, "Alright, then! Let's look for your folders! What's your name, Taihiratsu Sango-san?"

"Hiromi-san, you just said my name… I'm suspecting that you do know mine," Sango-chan commented rather dryly.

Hiromi-san simply grinned and dug into the large box that was sitting next to her, not before giving me a clear view of perfectly manicured yellow fingernails, "Taihiratsu…Taihiratsu… Ah ha! Here it is!" she took out this thick black folder and handed it to Sango-chan, "There's your schedule, dorm number, your roommate's name, the rules, and the calendar, okay?"

"Arigato gozaimasu, Hiromi-san, even though I already know all of these things," Sango-chan bowed quickly before pulling me up by my arm, "This is Higurashi Kagome. Can you look for her folders too?"

Hiromi-san grinned yet again, "No problem." She dug into her box again while the students began to crowd behind us. While Hiromi-san was searching for my folder, Sango-chan simply opened her folder up and studied it, with an occasional arch of her eyebrow and couple surprised looks, rousing my curiosity even more.

"Higurashi-san, here you go," Hiromi-san handed me my folder, chewing on her gum loudly once again, "Since you're new, you could ask Taihiratsu-san if you have any questions, okay? If Taihiratsu-san can't answer the question, than ask one of our staff members. Plenty of them will be around…"

I mumbled an "arigato" before moving out of the line with Sango-chan, whose nose was practically grazing the surface of the paper she was reading, reminding me of Professor Snape from the Harry Potter Series. Sango-chan then led me to this big hall, where there were a lot of small Japanese traditional desks and cushions lying around, a blank white screen at the front, probably used for presentations, and the stage at the front with this desk often used for speeches. (Unfortunately, I don't know the name of this little corny desk.) Sango-chan and I took a seat at the back, and opened our folders to examine it.

I examined my schedule carefully after scanning through the rules, "I have the LEVEL 5 – TPHS 2nd GRADE labeled at the top of my schedule… What does that mean?" I asked Sango-chan.

Sango-chan groaned, "Ah dang, girl! You are level 5? I'm only level 4!" she sighed and answered my question, "You see, each grade has different level, 15, separated by individual intelligence. We have different set of schedules for each level, which means that I'll probably see you at Physical Education, Japanese History, and Health/Tech only. Because you are level 5, you are almost equal as the advanced 3rd graders in TPHS in intelligence. You will be taking Pre Calculus Honors and Anatomy/Physiology, by the way…like how it says on the schedule."

I slowly nodded, "I get the schedule, but I don't get how the level thing works…"

Sango-chan smiled, "No problem. Level 1 through 3 have same schedule even though the higher your level is, the better it is on your record. Level 4 have just plain Trigonometry and Chemistry Honors or AP. All levels have three same classes, which are P.E., Japanese History, and Health/Tech."

"Okay, I get it now," I replied, and flipped the page to find a small piece of white paper. Before I put my finger on it, Sango-chan quickly slapped my hand away and flipped to the next page. My hand stings… "Hey!" I yelled, quickly grabbing my hurt hand with the other one, "What was that for?"

"You are not supposed to look at that!" Sango-chan scolded, "We are allowed to look at it when principal-san tells us to!"

"You didn't have to slap me though," I replied, nursing my stinging hand, "Your slap hurts…"

"I was from a line of youkai taijiya after all," Sango-chan grinned. Students started to enter through the open gate, taking a seat in the hall. I closed the folder grudgingly when Sango-chan demanded me to, saying that the rest had to be a secret or something… A few moments later, I noticed some familiar faces entering the hall, like Kikyou-nee-chan, Ayame-chan, Souten-chan, and Kaize-senpai. To my dismay, they didn't see me, so Kikyou-nee-chan went to the front while Ayame-chan and Souten-chan took a seat in the middle. I sat on the cushions comfortably, setting my folder on the little tea table in front of me and Sango-chan.

When it seemed that all the student, including males, (I once again shudder at the word) the light turned off suddenly, which caused the freshmen to look around in confusion while the sophomores, juniors, and seniors sat there, making themselves comfortable on their cushions.

"Welcome to Tokyo Private High School, everyone!" said a familiar female voice in the dark, shushing the students immediately, "I bet some of you are freshmen in the crowd over there! Well, sorry for all those sophomores, juniors, and seniors, we must go through the orientation again, unfortunately for you!" fake moans and groans filled the hall, causing the mysterious female to chuckle, "Ha ha, very funny. Well anyways! Turn to your first page in the file, where the rules are!"

Where did I hear that voice before…?

Rustles and shifting of clothes was heard throughout the hall. The light turned on again, but the front tables still stayed dark. I studied the page carefully, squinting a bit at the sudden blinding light.

Welcome to Tokyo Private High School, abbreviated TPHS! Ah, heck with the intro! We are going right into the rules, so here it goes!

Make sure to keep the curfew during the school days.

No sexual harassment or violence.

Whatever you do, don't enter the Deserted Hallway, unless you want to risk your eyesight.

Three tardy equals a detention, three detentions equal a Saturday school, and three Saturday school equal an F on citizenship and effort.

Respect your teachers, or face the loving fists, sticks…and a trip to Principal's office.

"All right-y! So you guys did find the page!" the voice interrupted before I went over the whole entire paper, "Let's go over this together!" And that's what did for the rest of the 20 minutes. When I was getting a little bored, the voice announced, "It's our time to now start the official part of the ceremony… Lights!!"

The light suddenly turned on, blinding my eyes. When my eyes focused again, I was able to make out a very familiar short black haired young female figure with dazzling dark sapphire colored eyes glimmering with pure mischievousness at the center speech desk.
