This is a fan fiction I'm writing and all the plots I came up with are all my idea. I would appreciate it if it is not copied.

P.S. A characters' name alone means that the certain a character is speaking.

"Sachiko Yuugi, a sophomore in college will soon be able to enjoy her summer. She plans for her summer vacation that will be overseas. For this particular trip, she will face many obstacles. First, starting off with the long plane flight that will take around 13 hours. Learning a different language is necessary for the survival in another country. Packing for the clothing and other necessities must match the weather in the different area. However, Sa-chi-ko! Isn't it a little bit too early to plan all this? We still have two or three months of school until it's officially over," asked Mai dramatically.

"Nope, not really. It's all good, please continue," answered Sachiko waving her hands back and forth.

"Okay, whatever you say. I just don't want you to over work yourself. By the way, what else do you want me to say anyway?"

"Not much, just add, like 'she hopes to make good memories.' Something like that will do."

"There's really no point to squeeze that in... Do I have to?"

"Or do you want to be squeezed between something instead?"

"No thanks, I'm good," Mai sighs and looks up, "Wow, the sky is so blue! Look Sachiko!"

Sachiko raises her head and keeps it there, "Yeah, very blue..."

"Yep, I can't believe we are really going in a matter of time. We have been planning since 8th grade and 7 years has already passed," Mai looks over at Sachiko; who's head is still up. "Hey! Are you even listening?"

"Mhmm..." hummed Sachiko.

"Hey...aren't you nervous or anything? What if we get lost? What if we miss our flight? What if the plane crashes?What if-"

"Oww, my ears hurt. What's up with all the 'what if's'? They are only what if's," Sachiko gets up from the grass, "It's not like it will really happen," then walks away.

"Ahh! Wait! What are you doing, break is not over yet! We still have-"

"Trust me, it will be over in," Sachiko looks down at her watch. "6,5,4,3,2, *finger snaps* it's over. Let's go, we don't want to be late."

Mai stands there, smiles and then runs after her. "Don't leave me behind! It's not good to walk off on your own!"

Mai

Well, as you can see, that's Sachiko for you, always punctual and quiet. She is one of those complicated beings. How should I put this? Let's just say that she has many faces. When she is around adults, her aura is mature and proper. her "friends" excluding me(I'm her acquaintance), Sachiko is very outgoing and happy. Around me, she is all over the place; sometimes cranky and another day she's all happy.

Basically, you can say she is loved by everyone. No one can really hate her or not that I can think of. I have been with her ever since elementary school and she really has changed a lot.

In middle school, Sachiko was a bit shy, but gradually started to talk and laugh more. I don't know how to explain this, but I guess people just feel attracted to her when she is smiling. During high school, we went to different schools, even so, we still kept in touch. By the way she sounded, she seemed like she was enjoying herself.

Now, it's different. Sachiko is desperate to get education over with. She keeps telling herself, "only four more years of this, then it's finally over." I understand why she doesn't enjoy it much, but why in such hurry?

Sachiko

Agh! So tired. Oh! You're there, hello. Let me guess, Mai is talking nonsense?I don't know how she even makes things up like that. It's okay. Want me to tell you something interesting? Mai is a weirdo. Keep your distance away from her.

Mai, when she comes to mind, all I can think about is her ridiculous screams. She is always lecturing me and tells me what's wrong or right to do. Mai is the closest friend I can ever imagine having. Even though we are polar opposites, we get along really well.

If I have to put Mai into words, I would say she is a nerd. No offense, I don't hate her or anything, but it's just how I feel. When I first talked to her, she was reading a book. Our first conversation was about her favorite book and if she could, Mai will read all day without breaks.

However, Mai's eyesight has been getting really bad. She is always saying that her fear is losing her eye sight. I really don't want her to become blind either. Instead of reading all day, Mai's also enjoys drawing. Her dream was to become a mangaka(a comic book artist), but the job seemed impossible for a living.

Mai's drawing are plain and really beautiful. She doesn't have any taste in creativity. As a result, I help her out with her designs. Hmmm, how do I put it? I can draw, too, but not as good. All Mai told me was that I have really good ideas, but my drawings are not in proportion. It's true, either the head is bigger than body, or one side of body is larger than other.

During middle and high school, I really wanted to become a fashion designer. I still want to do it, but it's not as easy with school in the way. Especially when the major is hard and complicated; I never have time to plan my new sketches.

School soon will be over, just three more months to go. This summer, it will be once in a life time experience. Mai and I will be traveling to another country. There's going to be a new language, variety of food, different society, and people. What does she mean by not nervous? Funny. Mai doesn't understand how much joy is I'm feeling right now. The feeling like I could just explode inside because of the excitement!
