Chapter 1

"The Triangular-Sharped Island"

"This is our first day of our first trip on our first travel without our parents for the first time since the beginning of the school year!

The destination? Sicily!

Yeah, Sicily, in Italy! I love Italy (A/N: Said by an Italian authoress…), I think it's a beautiful place and I'm glad to go there on my trip.

Right now we are flying over it. I could see Tuscany closed between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines. We will arrive in about another hour…

Just the time I need to rest a bit. I really need to take a nap after this travel. We woke up very early this morning to take the flight and when we will land we won't stop and go to the hotel, no… we will start our tour.

For 5 days we will see churches and temples, walk among ruins and eat some kinds of food we don't have in France.

On this very first day we will just pass at the hotel to leave our luggage. Then we will go around Palermo to visit the Cathedral and the palatine chapel.

The best part it's that I'm with my friends! My best friends! It'd be a perfect vacation, or better "learning journey" like it's called by the teachers.

But stop for now. I really want to sleep."

I closed my eyes and after what seems to me just 20 seconds someone shook me.

"Ehi Ulrich, watch out of your porthole! It's Sicily! How beautiful!" said Yumi, who sit near me, almost yelling for the excitement!

"Yeah " I replied looking at the triangular-sharped island.

"Flight attendants prepare yourself for the landing" Said captain's voice coming from the loudspeakers.

The symbol of seat belts lighted up and everybody returned to his own seat. The hostess controlled everyone and everything was fine.

I felt the airplane starts bending down.

"Ulrich are you all right?" Yumi asked me. I looked down at myself and I saw I was tense and my whole body was rigid.

"Yes, just a little afraid of landings" I answered back.

In that moment the airplane all of a sudden lowered. I put my hand on the armrests but on one of those there was already Yumi's hand.

"Sorry…" I mumbled becoming red, I can tell.

"No problems" she said softly.

Now I can see we are nearly arrived, only few meters from the ground. In fact 5 minutes after it was all ended.

"Hello to everybody. Captain's speaking. We are just landed at Palermo. It's about 8.30 A.M. The temperature outside is about 12 degrees and the weather is a bit cloudy. Please don't unfasten your seat belts before the signals went out. Thank you for chosen our airline."

We wait for the airplane to stop. The signals went out and we stood up.

"So… here we come!"

A/N: I want to thank:

Thanks for reviewing me even if there wasn't a true chapter but only a few lines. Remember the story would be full of particulars because I lived the situation in person. However this was another short chapter but I promise the next one will be longer and moreover you will discover what will happen to Yumi… so please wait for it and in the meantime leave me some reviews….
