"Wake up." Blake repeatedly said as he shook his friend awake. She was a heavy sleeper, and it took a lot to wake her up. "Come on." She smiled. "Fine, fine. Are we here yet?" He nodded his head, his eyes glistening with excitement. She smiled again at his dorkyness, he was such a helpless case sometimes.

The plane landed, and we were free to leave our seats and through the exits. Blake's head hit the roof when he stood up, although getting the carry on luggage was a breeze for him. "Do you want me to get your stuff?" He asked Callie. She nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

They walked up to the Customs booth, verified their papers and went on their way, luggage in tow. As the automatic doors opened, humidity and heat hit them like a wave. They weren't used to it at all, as they came from Canada. A professionally dressed lady tapped both of them on the shoulder. "Blake? Callie? Please come with me." She had a very rough accent, but they understood and followed.

She led them to a car waiting for them outside. She sat in front, while Blake and Callie had to sit in the back. The driver had put their luggage in the back of the car. Then, they were off. The lady turned the front seat around to face them. "Hello, my name is Yanako Harishi, or just Ms. Yanako." Blake nodded, and Callie extended her hand, she shook it.

The campus was incredible in size. 1000 acres of land. They had glass building, theaters, sports fields, 4 diffrent gyms, dorms, swimming pools, and even a small mall. Blake and Callie were amazed as they were given a tour of the area. Callie and Blake were in Co- dorms, and they shared a decent room.

" I trust no inappropriate business will happen here or anyehere else, even outside the campus. You are now representing our school, you cannot have a bad image. You must be neat and always on time, your grades must always be high, and you must excel in every extracurricular activity you do. Is that understood?" They both nodded, a little scared. She excused herself and left. They had only a day to get accustomed.

Callie unpacked and organized her closet, while Blake just layed in bed and wallowed. "What's the wifi password?" Callied shook her head. "Remember, we can't have internet on your personal devices." Blake groaned. "Come on Cal, I know you can get it. Please!" She rolled her eyes then sighed. There was a lone computer on a large desk. "I bet thats where we have study." Blake agreed.

She sat down in front of the computer. It ran a Windows 10 model, but Callie quickly found out you could change it to a Mac if you wanted to. "Shee, these Japanese people are smart." Blake said in admiration of the computer. Callie laughed. "I'm going with Windows." The computer was locked, protected by a password. "Damn, we can try my password decoder." Blake held out a device. Callie smiled. "Thanks, but it won't work with Japanese characters. He put his hand back in shame.

"Lets see what I can do." Callie went to the code of the computer, and after a while of searching and typing, she managed to unlock it. "Go Cal!" The main screen was boring, but it didn't matter. She went through some more coding and found the internet servers. From there, she managed to grab the password.

"There. Blake, you owe me one." He laughed and grabbed Callie from behind, wraping his arms around her waist, lifting her up. Callie squealed  and squirmed. "Noooo put me down!" Blake chuckled and lightly threw her on the bed. Callie repelled into a caterpillar made from blankets and hid for a good 10 seconds before attacking Blake. Shouting profanities and piggy back riding Blake, she got her revenge. "Okay okay! I'm sorry!" Blake said playfully. Callie stopped, then smiled. She slid down and landed with a thud.

"You're too tall." Callie said as laid down on her bed, looking at the ceiling.  "You're too short." She looked over at Blake. "Shut up." After a while, she got up and walked to a large mirror. "Come here." Blake did as he was told and stood beside her. Callie was 5'5, normal for her height. Blake was 6'3, also normal for him. "We don't blend in at all..." Callie trailed off.

Callie and Blake weren't the popular sort, but Callie always felt left out. Blake never minded. "We aren't here to blend in. We're here to stand out. Us being foreigners and all. We don't know a lick of Japanese!" Blake laughed at his statement, Callie chuckled a little. "No, you're right! We're here to study, and learn about everything, not look like them!" She said enthusiastically. Blake smiled and patted her head. "Yep."

"Shall we go... indroduce ourselves to the newcomer?" A girl stood near a window. "Yes, mistress, if you wish so."
