The next week, Satoshi and Risa avoided each other as much as possible. On occasion when they were forced to speak, they would mumble and not look into the eye of the other.
Nobody had noticed this avoidance because they hadn't talked that much anyway. But Satoshi and Risa were more than conscious about it. Every time they passed each other in the hall or accidentally in the classroom, both of them would wonder if they should say anything.
The week after that, there was a notice posted on the board.
ANNOUNCEMENT
There will be a school trip to Beijing, China.
Details will be discussed in your classroom.
Upon seeing this, Risa squealed like a pig.
"I've always wanted to go to China! Riku! Isn't this so cool?"
"It is! We'll get to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City…" Riku went on and on.
Satoshi saw this same notice on a different bulletin board.
School trip? This might be interesting.
In class, all anybody talked about was the trip, except Satoshi who sat in his corner reading.
"I heard that we're going to stay at a four star hotel."
"Yuu said that we're only allowed to bring one suitcase…"
"Are you going?"
"What are you going to wear?"
"What prank are we gonna pull?"
It took the teacher a while to get everyone settled down and into their seats.
"As you all probably know, there is going to be a school trip to Beijing, China. This trip will be a week long." He kept on talking about the trip, but what everybody really wanted to know was if they could pick their roommates or if they would be picked for them.
"There will be four people to a room with two queen sized beds. Your roommates will be picked for you."
A groan went throughout the classroom. Everyone, with the exception of Satoshi, started talking about who they wanted to be in a group with and who they didn't want.
"The trip will be in three days. Please get your permission slips signed and have fun packing!"
Risa did just that. She was glad the rule about one suitcase wasn't true because she needed the bare necessities of life, which were nine different outfits to change into (all in varying levels of preppiness), two towels (she didn't trust the towels they give you in the hotels), curler, straightener, and other things of the like.
Satoshi also packed, but with much more ease than Risa, for he did not need all the bare necessities of life, just the necessary ones.
It was the day of the trip and everybody gathered at the airport and all was ready.
A/N: This chapter was a bit of a filler chapter. I just really wanted to get a chapter in before i go on my trip to China/Japan for eight weeks.
I will have internet access so don't worry. I will try to update.
I'm going to use my experience from the plane ride from Japan to China that I'm going to take, in the next chapter when they fly to Beijing. So, the earliest i can update is in about two weeks.
