Chapter 2: Scramble at Sea (vs. DDG) Part 1

A few days pass after Johanna recieved the accepted application, it came with detailed instructions on how to get to the school, she needed to wait by the san andreas pier for a boat that picked up students who got accepted, they need to have their applications on hand and be wearing the uniform jacket. due to the naturally expressive nature of stand users, the jackets were about all that was asked for, girls also had to wear slightly above knee skirts as well as the jackets but that's pretty much all.

Johanna waits around the pier, Yumi is there too, the letter specified that there shouldn't be any non-stand users with them, but johanna didn't care.

"So are you excited to go to that school? i hear its hella rich, a lot of money went into it or something." Yumi asked, trying to pump her up, Johanna just shrugged, in an 'idk' motion.

"Aw C'mon Jojo! be excited! i wanna see you leave with a smile!" Yumi said as a response, Johanna looks around, the once near empty pier is starting to get some attention, a few boys and girls around Johanna and Yumi's age start swarming the dock, most of them with wacky colored hair and wearing very distinguishable clothing, they all standout from eachother, yet they all blend together as a mass, Johanna starts to get intimidated by the crowd

"hmm, its getting pretty full up here huh? it's supposed to be dangerous for me to stay now, i'll just wait over by the beach, wanna come with me?" Yumi said, figuring that Johanna is being shy around the crowd.

"yeah, i'd like that, but i should stay, the cruise should arrive at any moment. just come here before i aboard ok?" Johanna said to her friend, who proceeded to walk down to the shore, picking up some sea shells. as jojo is sitting down on the bench on the pier, her mind runs wild about how her new school will be.

as she just rests there, she is approached by a boy, he is the only one of the crowd who's hair wasn't dyed in some over the top fashion (aside from a single strip of the hair on the back of his head). he spoke pretty softly, almost soothing and flirty. "Hey! mind if i sit here?"

Johanna nodded, but meaning as 'yes i mind' and not as 'sure, you can sit here'. The boy took it as the latter and sat down anyways, johanna sighs as this soon to be school mate made himself comfortable next to her.

she is struck by a mixture of dumbfoundedness and shock, the boy pulled out the 'pretending to yawn and stretch arms around girl' on her, she almost feels offended. "god damn..." she muttered to herself.

"Name's Calisto by the way, you can just call me Cali if you want. what might be your name girl?" this guy said, attempting to be suave with it. sort of nailing it, but johanna didn't want any of it, she just squickly replied.

"Johanna, my friends call me Jojo." she looked away, back at Yumi just killing time in the sand, she waved from afar, Johanna waved back.

"Hmm, is that a friend of yours?" Asked Calisto, looking over at yumi

"oh yeah. thats Yumi, a friend of mine, she doesn't have a stand." Johanna answered, it caused Calisto to raise an eyebrow.

"What is a stand less girl doing here? its not really safe on her own..." Cali replied with a tone of both concern and disinterest.

"oh well she had come here with me, but then it got crowded so she decided to wait for me over in the sand. she should come back up once its time for me to leave." She said gently. as she speaks, a loud siren can be herd from the direction of the sea, its a colossal boat, there is a vague shape of someone on the nose of the ship, the ship itself is tainted of a light lavendery purple. she just assumed its painted that way.

"Ah, the ship thats gonna take us is here. i guess i shall be seeing you soon, lines pretty long so if you want you can cut ahead of me."

once the cruise arrives, the flood of soon to be students start lining up in two files, Calisto gets up, going to join in, asking a pair of what she assumes are friends of his to make space for him, Johanna gets up as well, going over to Cali's group. since the line was just too long to be at the back.

Yumi is seen running up to the pier, she is trying to catch up with Johanna. once she gets to her, she kneels down, panting in exhaustion.

"J-Jojo! are you leaving already? well i just got called at home, i have to take care of 'Queen' while my parents go to this business trip. so i guess this is goodbye for now." Yumi said, getting back up and breathing heavily.

Johanna smiled and replied very cheerfully:"All right, guess i'll see ya soon. you better call me, got it?" Yumi smirked and said "Got It!" she begins to walk back home, looking at the crowd of stand users.

a few hours pass, Calisto's friends are being asked for their letters. they are picked up by two men wearing suits with the school emblem patched onto the right side of the chest, there seems to be padding and they are wearing gloves of the same shade of purple as the boat's coating.

its Calisto's turn. she is zoning out due to nerves, thoughts of her new school rush through her head. she is interrupted by a deep serious voice and rhythmic snapping. "hey, hey lady, hEY!"

Johanna snaps back to reality, and she is met with the large man."Hey are you ok? i need your Entry Letter to let you pass, so hurry up..." she reacted by pulling out the letter she got a few mornings ago, the man takes it and gives her what seems to be a a key attached to a paper that reads out "103" she thanks the man, the robust gentleman just nodded in response.

she is now standing on deck, looking over at what remains of the line, but the cruise closes, from afar it seems like a second ship is closing nearby, a voice on the intercom of the advanced boat announced that the cruis is going to depart shortly. johanna after hearing this, decided to look for any hint as to the number on the key. she asked around until she finds a hallway marked with '100-130' on the entrance, she finds the door matching her key. upon inserting and twisting the knob, it opened to reveal a neatly organized room with two separate beds, she sets her stuff down near one of the beds and sits down.

"Wow, this place is amazing! i guess it should be this neat, since it's supposed to be a three day trip. Hmm... two beds though... am i going to have to share the room with someone else? i wonder who its gonna be." she thinks outloud, almost on command, the door is knocked upon, then opened on its own...

It's Calisto, he smirked smugly;"Ah! Johanna, it seems like we are gonna be sharing this room for a few days, might want to get comfy..."
