My new Neighbor's an Idol!?

Arrival

Thankfully, their bus was able to reach its destination without any other incident. So it turned out her fix was enough to get them far enough. Hastily, they got off the bus to take their luggage into the hotel. The group was a little late, but there would be enough time if they rushed things.

"Great..." Ishi muttered to himself as he entered the room he was staying at. Unsurprisingly, he was going to be stuck with a few boys in his class. Very rowdy boys. Hopefully sleeping wouldn't be a problem, but it was unlikely with how loud they were talking to each other now.

"Hirose." One of them wanted to ask him a question. "What's it like sitting next to Hattori?"

"Annoying." He answered simply. This was getting on his nerves. It was already bad enough that people designated him as the grump of the school. At least that was on him. But getting to be known as the boy sitting next to a celebrity was the opposite of what he wanted out of high school. "I can't even enjoy a lunch without you guys, or people from other classes crowding around us."

"What about during class?" They ignored his obvious irritation. "Maybe you've caught a nice peek of something she doesn't show anyone else."

"Oh yeah, has she ever dozed off? Have you gotten a look at her sleeping face?"

"Everyone's so hopeless..." He shook his head in disappointment. "And no, now come on and let's get back to the others." After all, they were already late to begin with. Hopefully this conversation wasn't to continue when it was time to head to bed. But Ishi wasn't looking forward to an outcome that he'd like.

"Looks like everyone's here." Youna said as she looked between the clipboard containing names, and all of the students. "Okay everyone, get together into your assigned groups and follow all of the directions." At least she was capable of giving out commands. That was one of the biggest worries Ishi had about her being able to rep the class.

"Looks like I'm stuck with you guys." He walked up to everyone as they were about to leave the hotel.

"Come on." Otoya wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "Don't look at it like we're stuck. More like, be glad we're united in this together."

"I ain't here for your feelgood philosophy." Ishi responded by brushing the arm off. "Let's go look at some fish, do some sea life activities and go home." His friend laughed in response to his aloof attitude. He never took anything he said seriously.

And now they were on their way to the aquarium. Despite being the one least excited for this, Ishi was also the one to be in front of everyone. That was mainly due to the fact that everyone else was lagging a bit behind to have the chance to talk with Rinse. The swarming looked a bit silly as he stood next to no one, not even his own best friend.

"I guess this is one way to get everyone to leave me alone." He commented to himself as they neared the building. It was massive, with quite a crowd preparing to get inside. They weren't limited to just the students either, as their were plenty of tourists and locals wanting to see the sights for a day of fun. "Here's our school pass." Ishi figured that everyone was going to have him be in front, so he took the important papers that they needed to be allowed in.

Once inside, they were greeted with a deep dark blue hue all over the room. The light from the exhibits flooded themselves over their faces, the floors, and the walls. Inside the water tanks were the many different varieties of sea life, such as the fish, coral, and especially the sharks.

It was time to take care of the first bit of business. That being the simple part of going through the exhibits set by their itinerary. There were many fish to learn about, but they chose the ones most likely to be intriguing to groups they were a part of.
