Johan Anderson woke up when he felt someone shake his shoulder, his eyes slowly opened and he had to blink a few times to get rid of the feelings of lingering grogginess. Once he had been successful in doing that, he began to look around his surroundings. One look at his right side and he was face to face with his new friend, Jim Cook. "Jim, what's up?" He asked the other boy, as he began to lean back in his seat.

"What do you mean what's up? Don't tell me you forgot." Jim replied and when all received was a confused look from Johan, he sighed. "Weren't you the one who asked me to wake you up when we're close to landing?" Johan's eyes widened as he remembered, that was right he did ask that from Jim. He wanted to be awake just as they landed. It might sound weird, but he really didn't want to miss it. It wasn't because it was his first trip on the plane or anything but it because it marked the beginning.

Yes; it marked the beginning of his new life here in his new school, where he was free to pursue his dreams. He felt himself become elated over that fact, but at the same time he felt a twinge of sadness when he remembered the how much his mother objected to his decision. "Are you ok, Johan?" Johan was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Jim call out to him; he looked up and met the other boy's worried look.

At first, Johan was confused at what his friend was worried about, but when he was about to ask Jim what he meant he realized that he was frowning. He didn't do it consciously, but it probably came out as he was remembering the last conversation he had with his mother. He gave an inward sigh at the memory, but outwardly smiled the most reassuring smile he could, at the time to Jim. "Don't worry about it. I was just remembering some stuff that happened at home before I left."

Jim gave a nod, but still looked at him with a bit of worry. Though, Jim didn't further press on the subject, something that Johan was immensely grateful for and instead began a conversation with a new topic. One that both he and Johan were able to get excited over, their new school: The Joan Jiuliana East Academy for the arts or just the East Academy in short. "So, do you have any relatives or anyone you know in the East Academy?"

Johan thought about it. He did have a relative in the academy, but the only question is did he know anyone else in the academy? Nope, not that he knew of. "I don't know anyone there except one person, my older brother." Johan answered, adding the last part before Jim could ask. "What about you, Jim?" The other boy gave a huge smile as he answered; his voice full of fondness. "Me? Well, I've got a lot of relatives in the academy."

"Really? Well, I feel a bit jealous now." Johan said as he placed his hands behind his head and rested on them. "You sound like you're really close with them. I get along with my brother, but he can be such a jerk at times." Jim laughed before promising Johan that after they arrive, he'd introduce the bluenette to his cousins. The conversation went on and before they knew it, the captain began speaking on the intercom, telling them that they were to land in five minutes and that they should fasten their seat belts.

The two did, but Johan quickly turned to his side and faced the open window. He then began to search, and it wasn't long before he found what he had been looking for. He excitedly grabbed Jim by the arm and pulled him closer to the window. "Jim, look! It's Espressione Island!" The other boy's eyes brightened at this as he began to lean forward to see the island, once he caught sight of it in the middle of the ocean a grin split on his face. "You're right, Johan! It is Espressione Island!"

As Johan stared at the island, the more excited he got. But once they actually landed it was a totally new feeling altogether, he felt elated? Nervous? Worried? His current feelings were currently a medley of those three emotions. He was elated that he was finally here, at the island. But at the same time felt nervous and a bit uncertain. What if didn't make any friends? What if he didn't like it there? What if all the people there were elitist snobs?

He felt himself get more and more nervous but he quickly reassured himself that those probably wouldn't be the case. He already had Jim as a friend and if worse came to worse, there was his brother. Besides, it didn't matter if he didn't like it there. After all he came here to learn to be a patissier and nothing was going to stop him from becoming one, not even elitist snobs. He felt his resolve strengthen at his thoughts but before he could ponder more about about this, he heard someone call out to him.

"Johan stop spacing out, the doors are already open." Johan got himself out of his thoughts and observed that yes, the door had indeed already been opened and that others had begun to exit. One look at Jim showed him that the boy had already risen from his seat and had already gotten his luggage from the compartment above Johan's head. Johan blushed when he realized that he had indeed been spacing out and quickly scrambled out of his seat and began collecting his bags.

Jim gave a small sigh at this, but helped the teen anyway in getting all his stuff from the compartment. "For a small guy, he sure did come with a lot of baggage." Jim thought as he got the last of Johan's stuff. Johan thanked him as he took the backpack Jim had just gotten and wore it on a shoulder. Jim eyed Johan with mild amusement as the boy was currently holding one holdall in his right hand, a backpack on one shoulder, a messenger bag on the other and a briefcase in his other hand."Johan, did you bring an entire kitchen with you?"

The boy blushed, before telling Jim that he just didn't want to have to wait for anything to be sent over from Norway."So, you just brought everything?" Jim teased, with a small smirk. He laughed good naturedly when he heard the other began muttering about annoying one-eyed friends. Johan then began checking his bags to make sure that he didn't lose or forget anything. After checking for the third time and finding everything accounted for, the two began their way to the exit. They exited the plane and walked down the hallway and soon found themselves in the middle of a busy airport.

"So, Johan, do you have someone to fetch you?" Jim asked, as they were collecting their other luggage from the conveyor belt. Johan's mind froze over his simple inquiry, his worries from before returning to him."Oh, Shoot." Johan thought. Did his brother even remember that he was coming today? He knew his brother was ecstatic that he was going to be attending East Academy but Johan wouldn't put it past his brother to forget that he was coming today and end up fetching him five hours later.

Just as Johan began to think that his fears were going to be realized, he heard someone calling out to him. "Johan! Hey, Johan! Over here!" Both teens looked at their right and saw another teen, walking over to them. Johan gave a huge sigh of relief when he saw his brother there, but Jim's jaw dropped when he saw the other teen. After all, he looked exactly like Johan, only with orange colored eyes and was a bit taller. "Jehu!" Johan called back, as he began waving to his brother.

That was when the two friends noticed someone walking behind Jehu. At first, they couldn't really see the person because Jehu was in the way but once they did, Johan was stunned. The mystery person was a girl, a pretty girl at that with bi-chromatic eyes, blue hair and slightly tanned skin. She was tall, but not taller than his brother and if he had to guess she was probably the same age as his brother. But the mystery girl smiled once she saw Jim and ran over to him. "Jim!"

"Yubel!" Jim cried happily before putting his luggage down and giving her a bear hug. Yubel accepted his hug and had a huge smile on her face as she hugged him back. While this was going on, Jehu was giving Yubel an amused look while Johan just looked a bit confused about the situation. The two hugged for a couple more of seconds before they broke the hug. Jim then turned back and addressed Johan. "Johan, I want you meet Yubel. She's one of my relatives that I told you about."

Johan's face light up with understanding at Jim's words and he began walking towards the two of them. "It's nice to meet you, Yubel-san." He said as he extended a hand to offer a handshake, but was shocked when the girl gave him a huge smile before she pulled him to a hug. "Oh, you're just adorable! Unlike your brother, over there! But just call me Yubel." She said releasing him. Johan was about to decline and say it would be rude, but then he saw Jim nod at him as if telling him to take her up on her offer. He gave a small nod before giving her a small smile. "Alright then, Yubel."

Yubel grinned, and Johan suddenly realized something. "Do you and my brother know each other, Yubel?" He asked, looking at his brother then at Yubel then back to his brother. Jim looked curious to know the answer as well as he stared at his cousin. "Yup, that guy and me have been classmates ever since our first year here in East Academy. Not to mention we're also group mates." She answered, before looking at Jehu and mock sighing. "Honestly, I got no luck at all." She teased as Jehu merely scowled at her.

Yubel laughed at his response and began to tease him more. While this was going on Jim was watching the exchange with interest and Johan was pondering on what she meant by 'group mates', but decided to ask Jehu about it later instead. "Wait a second, how do you two know each other?" Jehu asked, as he looked at the new arrivals. It took a minute for the question to register in Johan's mind but when it did, Jim had already spoken up.

"We met at the airport in Tokyo, we found that we were going to the same place so we've stuck with each other since." Yubel nodded her head in understanding and Jehu gave a thoughtful 'hmm' sound in response. "Well, that solves that mystery. Now come on if we want to chat, we should do it in the Academy not here. Besides, the two of them must be tired from their flight and probably want to rest." Yubel said before looking at Jehu.

"Jehu, what are you waiting for? Help your brother with his luggage." Yubel said, or commanded really to his brother. Jehu only sighed before going over to Johan and getting most of his luggage and once he finished with that he looked at Yubel with a glare. Yubel, ignored it and told Jim to get his stuff as well, reminding the three of them that the faster they leave, the faster they reach the academy. But while she was saying this, she fixed Jehu an amused look similar to what he gave her before this was noticed by the other two, but they wisely chose not to ask.

Jehu caught the look and snorted, but nonetheless began moving towards the exit, unconsciously leading them all out. Once they had exited the airport, the sight that greeted them was a huge street and in the middle of it were two trams. One tram was colored green while the other was the color of mahogany. People were quickly entering and exiting the mahogany tram. Following after Jehu, the group entered the green tram that was on the right side of the street.

Once they got inside, Johan instantly noticed the people's presence, or better yet lack the lack of it inside the tram. "Uhh…" Johan felt unsure now, they were the only ones there except the tram conductor. Yubel caught his look and gave him a reassuring smile. "Is something wrong, Johan?" She asked kindly. Johan merely glanced around the tram again before answering. "It's nothing; I was just wondering why we're the only ones in this tram aside from the conductor."

"That's because this tram is specially made for students of East Academy." Jehu answered as he set the stuff down and took a seat on the comfy looking cushions. Johan nodded in understanding before he, Jim and Yubel mirrored the older Anderson's actions. Once they were all seated, they didn't have to wait long before the tram began moving. "So, how were your flights to East Academy?" Yubel asked. "It was ok, there wasn't much turbulence." Jim answered with a shrug.

Suddenly, Johan felt three pairs of eyes looking expectantly at him. Johan met their stare and answered truthfully."The airplane food sucked." There was a minute of silence before all of them, including Johan burst out laughing. "You know Johan, I think you and my sister will get along well. Don't you think so, Jim?" Yubel managed to say in between laughs. "Yeah, I'm sure they would." Jim said as he wiped a tear from his good eye. "Your sister?" Johan asked, confused.

"Yubel's younger sister and Jim's cousin, she's also a first year like the two of you." Jehu answered, no longer laughing but still smiling from his brother's earlier words. The ride went on in this matter, with them chatting and occasionally joking, and it wasn't very long before the tram came to a stop and the four teens grabbed their stuff before exiting the vehicle. The sight that greeted them was the large gates of East Academy.

The new arrivals looked at it with a mix of excitement and awe, making the older students chuckle at their reactions and feel nostalgic. The older students led them through and even introduced them to the gate keeper Watanabe-san, a kind old man in his fifties who greeted them as they walked by his station. The two new friends then parted ways due to the two of them belonging to different dorms, with Johan going with his brother and Jim going with his cousin. The two promised to meet again later before going off.

It was a five minute walk from the gates to the William Crystal dorms and all through-out the walk, Johan kept looking around, trying to take in everything. His brother though, just kept giving him amused glances and shook his head every time Johan suddenly spoke up in surprise because of something he spotted. As soon as they arrived through the doors, they were instantly met by the dorm head- Don Zaloog, who was a very interesting man to say the least.

Jehu gave introductions and once they finished giving each other greetings, the man gave Johan a copy of the key that Jehu had of his room, since he and his brother were apparently going to be roomies from now on. He then left, while whistling then singing about a date with the school nurse. Johan watched as his brother merely sighed and shook his head. "Do I want to know?" He asked; only to be told that he was better off not knowing before being led up the stairs then through a hallway to get to room 105.

As Jehu was opening the door, they heard the door of the room opposite theirs open. Jehu and Johan looked back, but Johan froze at what he saw. He saw long brown hair that was a bit lighter on the top, fair skin and chocolate colored eyes. In other words, a combination that made Johan's mind stop working and for the second time today he was stunned- like what happened with Yubel , earlier but the effect was multiplied by a hundred. What he saw was a girl with all the aforementioned traits and much more.

The girl was wearing a red colored jacket and a simple black shirt underneath it along with white shorts and brown flats. The girl was probably the same age as him and in the girl's hand was a small hat. But as far as he could tell, the girl was currently preoccupied in closing the door and didn't notice them. But that wasn't the case for Johan as he currently doubted what his eyes were showing him. Fortunately for him though, his brother unconsciously solved that mystery for him.

"Hey, Judai." He greeted as he went over to 'Judai', and began to ruffle the girl's hair. This made the girl laugh a bit, but to Johan this interaction proved that he wasn't just having an exhaustion induced delusion from his three consecutive plane rides. Johan could only watch as Judai gave a smile at his brother and greeted him back. "Hey, Jehu." As soon as those words left her lips, she noticed him. "Jehu, am I going crazy? I'm seeing two of you, but the other you has green eyes."

Jehu laughed before gesturing at his little brother with his thumb, without looking back at him. "No, you're not crazy. That guy over there is my younger brother, Johan. He'll be studying here from now on." Judai smiled again and Johan who swore his heart skipped a beat or two when he realized that it was aimed at him. He never thought that it was possible to get so flustered up over such a simple gesture, but here he was trying with all his might not to blush.

But he felt his cheeks heat up a bit as the girl walked up to him. He sincerely hoped that she wouldn't notice the redness that was probably on his face."It's a pleasure to meet you Johan, I'm Judai." She said as she outstretched her hand for a handshake. Johan slowly brought his hand to hers as he gave his own greeting. "The pleasures all mine." He said, very glad he didn't stutter or anything. But at the same time, he was enjoying the feeling of her small hand in his.

"So, Judai what you doing in room 103?" Jehu asked, getting both teens' attention. That was when Judai slipped her hand out of Johan's much to his disappointment; she then turned to the older Anderson and addressed him. "Oh, I was just here because of a favor Haou-nee asked of me." At the mention of the name, Jehu perked up instantly. "Haou?" Judai giggled a bit at Jehu's antics before answering. "Apparently, she visited Fubuki yesterday but she forgot to get her hat when she left." She then raised her hand that was holding the hat.

Jehu's jaw dropped at that. "She came over yesterday, and I didn't know about it?"Johan sweat dropped at his brother's actions. It wasn't like his brother to act like this; at least he didn't act like this in Norway. He wondered who exactly this Haou person was, but before he could ask he was cut off when Judai let out a surprised squeak. "Ah! I forgot! I promised Asuka that I'd go with her to her practice today!" She said before she began to run off.

"See you guys later!" She called as she turned the corner. When Jehu was sure the girl was out of earshot he grinned at Johan. "Judai, huh? Good choice." He said, taking pleasure in seeing his brother's face redden. "W-What are you talking about! Idiot brother!" The younger Anderson shouted before getting his copy of the key and opening their room himself, not bothering to wait for his brother who was currently laughing his pants off.

"Say that when your face isn't trying to imitate a tomato." Jehu said in between his laughs. Johan's face looked shocked before looking uncertain as he stared at his brother. Jehu sighed for the enth time today before a small smile found its way to his face. He placed a hand on his brother's shoulder before getting Johan's stuff and entering the room. "Get in Johan, we still have to unpack." Jehu called from the room. Wordlessly, Johan entered the room with his thoughts still on the brunette named Judai and how life suddenly became much more interesting for him.
