Mita High School, Minato prefecture, Tokyo, Present Day
"Well this looks like the place." Darek said as he looked at the school building before walking through the gates. "Man I hate new schools." He walked through the hall to the office.

As he was walking towards the office, she walked out. Her eyes were fixated on her folders in hand when she accidentally bumped into him. Her eyes snapped up and she looked at him, "Oh. I'm sorry..." She was about to walk off when she snapped her attention back to him. "Hey.. what grade and class are you in?" She asked softly and put the folders to her side.

"Sorry about that." Darek said as he stopped and helped the girl. He was about to walk in when she asked a question. "I'm a junior. I just moved here so I was going to find out where I'm going." He replied.

Vivian pulled the folders out from under her arm and looked at them; her bangs falling in front of her eyes. "I might be able to help you there. They were just sending me out to the front desk at the entrance you came in at." She looked up from the files and at him. "See, we have a few new students this year so they picked a few older students to help them out today. I'm probably the first one here for this, so I guess I could help you around. What's your name?" She asked and returned her attention to the folders.

"Darek Kaze. I'm actually a transfer from America." He said as he watched her look at the folders. "Well I'm actually not really from America we moved there about ten years ago." He shifted his glasses.

"Oh, I see. My grandparents are from Amercia, but then they moved here and all that fun stuff. I'm Vivian Knight." She introduced and bowed shortly. "Just come back with me to the office. I'll drop these files off and start a tour for you." She smiled, turned around and went back into the office.

(She's kinda cute.) "Well let's get this over with. I'm not real fond of starting at a new school." He said following Vivian in to the office and waited at the door, watching as she dropped the files off.

He would see her talking to the secretary in fast Japanese, every once in a while glancing at him and pointing at him or in that direction. After a few moments, she bowed and left the office. "Alright. Oh, right. This," she handed him his folder, "if your folder. It has your classes, teachers, lunches and when your lunch duties are. I think we're actually in the same classes. See, these high schools are different from the one's in America, or so I've heard. We've had a few students go there. You have no idea how happy I am right now to be able to speak in English." She laughed softly. "Right. Well.. this here is the main hallway; where you'll find all the offices- main office, nurses office, attendence, athletics, and guidance." She began to walk back towards the entrance, walking backwards to keep an eye on him.

He takes the folder and looks at his schedule as he's walking. (So I might like this school after all.) He puts the folder under his arm and followed. "Um you might want to look out." He said as she was about ready to run into another student.

Vivian stopped and turned around. "Thanks." She smiled. She stopped by the desk in front of the entrance, "This is the commons. On this side," She pointed to the left side of the benches, "you have a computer lab and a health class. Straight back is the cafeteria. You'll need to know that. See, for lunch, we eat in the classrooms. A few students are appointed each week to do lunch duties. They come down to the cafeteria, pick up the amount of bento boxes, bring them back, make sure everyone eats everything; if they don't, that student gets in trouble..., then they bring the boxes back. Um... On the right side is the LGI and library." She pointed out and smiled.

"LGI?" He asked looking a little confused. Looking at Vivian as she pointed out the areas. (Well there's one difference that japan has.)

"It's the Large Group Instruction room. It's really just a big room with.. maybe 10 desks and chairs. It has steps... Each step has 2 desks to it. They stretch the length of the room. Once in a while, health class has guest speakers and we'd meet in there. That is also where we get photo IDs. Alright, let's continue on, shall we?" She smiled, pushed off the desk and walked off to the right past the Library. "Alright, this is just a short hall... This is where you'll locate the athletics office," she pointed to it, "its right across from the library... The attendence office and the nurses office." She pointed to each office and kept walking on. Once they cleared the hall, they came up to an area that had huge room and large space in front of it. She pointed to it, "That.. is the auditorium. We hosts small concerts for the fine arts students and theatre students." She kept leading him around the room till the reached entrance to it. "That's the main entrance to the aud, but there are 4 other doors to get into it." She pointed to the other side where a few vending machines were on, "Those blue doors lead to the main gym. They locker rooms are accessable through the gym, and only through the gym. There is where all the volleyball and most of the intermiral sports are." She paused and looked at him, her gray eyes bright. "Am I losing you?" She asked and laughed softly.

"Nope, not yet. When is class supposed to start?" He asked as he looked into the auditorium. "I'm sure if we do have the same classes, you can give me the rest of the tour in between classes."

"Oh, that's another thing. We don't go around to classes. The teachers come around to us. I think we'll be down in the 600s... and classes don't start for another..." She looked around the hall and spotted a clock, "20 minutes. Usually when the weather is nice, we'll have gym outside. But let's get walking towards our class, ok?" She began walking past the vending machines and cut down a short ramp. She took a left, the only way she could go, and walked down the long hall. "These are the fine arts classrooms. The first one we passed was for choir, and the other one was for band." She pointed to her left at an opening and set of doors, "That is another entrance to the aud. Those doors are easy to break into so you can get into the aud." She laughed slightly and walked down to the corner. On the left was water fountains, ahead was a computer class. She stopped against the right wall. "That's a computer arts class. If you go left down this hallway... you'll pass a short hall going to the auxiliary gym. Keep going down and you'll get to the commons. If you take a right up at that small fork, you'll be at the cafeteria. Now, if you go right, like we need to..." She pushed off the wall and rounded the corner. They passed two classrooms and entered a tiles hall. "This is the natitorium... The pool." She stoped at a water vending machine and pointed to her left, "That leads to a parking lot, where the swim team meets, entrance to the pool, and the girls locker room. You get caught going in there and you get in huge trouble." She smiled and began walking straight, continuing down the hall. Restrooms were on her right, along with another set of doors leading to the outside world. "Boy's locker room entrances is there." She pointed to her left, and passed under a blue set of doors. Ahead were two firedoors. "Those doors lead to the middle school." She turned to her right to a long stretch of hall. "This.. is the 600s. About halfway down this hall is another hall with more classes. If you join in a Spanish, german, or sign language club, they meet in one of those classrooms. At the very end of this hall, to your left is where you'd find the french and English clubs." She reached into her pocket, "Well.. I'm in room 618... What room are you in?" She asked, folded the paper up and shoved it back into her pocket. "I think I glanced over your folder and it said 618.. But that might've been someone else's." She huffed heavily and began walking down the hall towards water fountains. "618 is where they have the English Club... If you're there, that means we have English first... Now, don't be expecting it to be like the english class back in America. It's like... you taking a foreign language there... They're learning the basics... you know... "in english, what is neko?" Cat. That kind of stuff. Since I already know english, I get to help sometimes teach, grade, help around; have a study hall." She explained. She leaned down and took a long drink of water

Darek looked at which clasroom he was in. "It says... 618." He said as he closed the folder and followed. "We can finish the tour later just as long as I know where the classroom is."

She laughed softly as she stood back up and walked around the corner. She entered the first class on her left. "There really isn't anything else to see. Just more classrooms is all." Vivian went over to the teacher's desk. Vivian looked at the teacher, who looked at her with a smile. "Welcome back, Vivian." "Thank you, welcome back Ms. Delilah. I happened to stumble upon one of your new students." Vivian smiled. Ms. D looked around Vivian to Darek. She stood up, fixed her dress and walked around her desk to him. She held her hand out, "Hello and welcome to Mita High School. I'll be your 'English' teacher, Ms. Delilah. Feel free to call me Ms. D." She smiled.

"I'm Darek and thank you. This should be an easy class to pass for me." He said shaking the teacher's hand. "Looks like living in America does have some uses."

Ms. D laughed softly and nodded. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked around the classroom. "That it does. What part of America were you living in? I lived in Michigan. Oh boy, this room is much too bare. Vivian, any ideas we could do to decorate this place up?" Vivian laughed, walked over and joined them. "You know I can't decorate. I'd much rather be out fixing cars or something else. Remember, we can't decorate it to just your taste, it has to agree with all the teachers." Ms. D sighed, "I wish it were like the schools back home... Where students would walk around... Give the teacher more room to work with and less to carry." She smiled softly. Vivian looked at Darek, "Well, we have like 15 minutes left... I don't know what you want to do now... There's a kitchen through that door, and the teachers lounge through that door. we just don't like this room much due to lack of windows." She laughed softly.

Darek laughed at the comment. "I used to live in California." He than turned to Vivian. "If you like fixing cars, I'm having mine shipped to me. If you want to take a look at it that is?" He asked.

A grin spread across Vivian's face, "Well.. sure.. I mean... Is there anything wrong with it? what kind of car is it?" She asked. Ms. D went back to her desk to sort out papers. Vivian walked over to one of the desks and sat down.
