Heading to Italy (Leo)

"Leo." I felt a firm shake on my shoulders. "Leo!" I recognized it as my dad's voice and woke up. "Get dressed, the bus will be here in about twenty minutes." I looked at my digital clock next to me.

8:42 am

The bus comes at 9:00. And today we were heading to the airport. I jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready.

I had five minutes to spare by the time. I was dressed in my green t-shirt that had a picture of a brown bull in front. Brown shorts and sneakers. My cellphone rang as soon as I touched it.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, Leo. Your ready right? We're pulling up at your street." she asked.

"Yeah. See you later." I hung up and grabbed my suitcase. I was about to head out the door when my dad stopped me.

"You almost for got the camera." he said handing it to me. I hung it around my neck. I once again tried to leave but once again my dad stopped me.

"Yeah?" I asked. He pulled me into a big hug.

"Take care of yourself, meine liebe Tochter." I hugged him back.

"I'll be fine dad. I promise."

The bus driver gave me a card that had a number written on it.

"You are to sit in alphabetical order by your first name, so we can keep track yada yada yada." he said boredly. He must have been saying it all morning.

I climbed into the bus. Seat five. I was heading towards there until I saw the familiar blonde looking at herself in the mirror. She's so full of herself, I thought. She finally looked up from her mirror at me.

"Rochefort." I said.

"Kliesen." We never addressed each other by our first name. I don't know why. But it just seems like an insult to say their name.

"Looks like I'm sitting next to you for the ride." I told her sitting down next to her.

"Yippe. Hooray." she mumbled blandly.

My phone rang again. I answered it.

"Hey, Leo." it was Asuka again. "What bus are you on?" I honestly didn't know what bus I was on. So I had to do something I really didn't want to do. I tapped Lili on the shoulders.

She tjurned to me annoyed since I interupted her conversation with the chinsese girl who was sitting across the aisle. "What bus is this?" I asked her. She shrugged.

"How am I supposed to know? Do I look like a bus driver to you?" Tip: never ask Lili a question ever. Lili's friend (Who I remembered was Ling Xiaoyu) poked her head behind the blonde demon's.

"Bus 2." she answered.

"Thanks." I said, and put my phone back on my ear. "I'm on bus 2."

"Damn. I'm on the first bus with Hwoarang. I'll guess I'll see you on the plane."

"How's OPERATION BOY BAGGING going?" I asked her. I can imagine her roll her eyes.

"It's not like that!" she protested.

"Sure..." I decided on not bothering her today so I changed the subject. "I heard that one of the activity's is fighting. Want to try that out first to see what it's like. Maybe we can try some italian food there."

"Won't we have to walk the whole way?" Asuka complained on the other end. I laughed.

"No sweat. We're renting one." I told her.

"You have the money to rent a car?" she asked amazed.

"Yeah. I'm only borrowing it tomorrow and Sunday. As long as we keep it in mint condition." I informed her.

"Cool. Uh oh. My battery's dying, bye." I hung up. When I put my phone away I noticed Lili staring at me.

"What?" I asked her. She shook her head and went back to chatting with Ling. This girl was weird.

I had an uneventful plane ride. I had to sit with Lili and Ling. The worst part was I sat in the middle. Man I wish I was sitting closer to Asuka.

"Kliesen." I turned my head unwillingly to Lili.

"What?" I asked between clenched teeth.

"You've heard that one of the activities their setting up is a battle arena, right?"

"Yes, me and Asuka are going there tomorrow." I told her.

"Well, I was thinking that this is the perfect oppurtunity to duel. Are you in, or are you too scared?" her eyes narrowed dangerously at me.

"Your on Rochefort." I challenged.

"Hmph." she flipped her hair and resumed talking to Ling like I wasn't there. I tuned them out with my headphones and Ipod.

"This will be your room." Mr. Chaolan told me opening my door. He left the room in a quick swift movement that usually girls go crazy over. I lugged my suitcase to the bed closest and tossed it on top.

The door reopened shortly after and Asuka came in holding her bags. She wore a hair estension that made her hair look like she had it in a half up half down style. She wore a hot pink t-shirt that said 'Don't be jealous' in white. She also wore jean capris and sneakers.

"Suka, don't you want to drop that off in your room first?" I asked. She grinned like a cheshire cat and tossed her bags at the other bed almost hitting me upside the head.

"This is my room." she said proudly laying on 'her' bed.

"How did you end up having this room if your first name starts with an 'A'?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes then closed them.

"You can do alot when your uncle's the teacher." I almost forgotten. Asuka was Mr. Chaolan's neice. I asked a couple of times about the link between them but she never liked talking about it.

The door then opened revealing Hwoarang and Steve. Hwoarang was wearing a black t-shirt with khaki pants, suspenders were hanging off the sides. He wore black boots with it. Steve wore a button up sky blue dress shirt with faded jeans and white sneakers.

"Knock. Knock." he said knocking each time he said it. The guys strided in the room. Hwoarang plopped next to me on the bed and Steve leaned against the wall by a window.

"Unpacked already?" Asuka asked them sitting back up.

"Yup." Hwoarang said.

"We were going to hit the sack and wanted to say good night." Steve added.

"Yeah, I'm beat too." Asuka said with yawn. Hwoarang smiled at her.

"I'll leave so you guys can sleep." Hwoarang stood up and stretched. "See you in the morning." The guys left the room closing the door behind them.

Me and Asuka helped each other put away our clothes. We brushed our teeth, showered and got dressed in pajamas. I wore a plain red hoodie and pajama pants with yellow polka dots.

Asuka wore a big yellow shirt with orange boxers.

"Tommorrow, we hit the arena." Asuka reminded me. I remembered Lili's offer.

"Lili wants me to duel her there." I told her.

"Leo. I thought this is about us." she whined.

"It still is, it's just one duel. That's it. Then, we can hook you up with Hwoarang." Asuka threw a pillow at my head knocking me down onto the bed. We both laughed and I threw the pillow back at her.

We had a mini pillow fight until we both crashed in our beds.

I am begging for reviews. I need more hits. I know that it's boring right now but just hang in there for a moment, it will get better. Trust me.
