It is the first victory of the 9th class on Monday.
Ring ring.
"uuuhhhhhhaaaaaaaa. I could sleep a few more hours. Good morning mom."
"Good morning Liz did you sleep well?"
"Yes, just a little too short. Is Marie awake yet?"
"Yes, but she is still in bed"
that's typically my sister. She is 10 annoying and just like a little sister. But without them it would be really boring. And like almost everyone in the morning, I have to chatter with her for 5 minutes before she gets up.
"Hey sleepyhead. It's getting late. Come on, get up"
"uuuhhhhaaaaa !!! Liz are you fooling around?"
"No Marie, we're late. Come on, hurry up before we're late.
I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, put on my things and go to the kitchen. My mom was making breakfast at that time. And my little sister Marie got up too.
Thing dong !!
I go to the door and can already guess who is standing there. It is definitely my best friend stella. She picks me up every morning and we go to school together. She is 16. the same age as me and we are just inseparable. I've known her for 5 years.
"Hey Stella how are you?"
Hello Liz. Quite well. I just got excited. It's the first day of 9th grade. Now we're the big ones.
I have to grin. She has been looking forward to 9th grade for years.
"I'll just finish breakfast quickly then we can go." "Would you like something too, Stella?" asks my mom.
"No thanks." stella sits down next to me and looks at me with a look that says "come on, hurry up before we're late.
"Ok we can go Stella. Take care mom see you later."
"See you later honey and don't forget to pick up your sister after school."
"No, Mom, I don't" I almost always have to pick her up. Something has to change.
As soon as we have arrived at school, the doorbell rings. "I hope Emily is sick today" I tell stella. Emily is ..... I don't like her. She is conceited, arrogant, bitchy and aggressive.
And then you 2 as I call them slaves. Or stupid and stupid. Sophie and Cindy imitate everything. They want to be like Emily. And of course she takes advantage of that.
"Hey loser" I hear softly. It's emily. "It's great there" I whisper to Stella. And the worst is yet to come. I'm sitting exactly with you.
"You can do it Liz." So I sit down in my place and try to stay calm. Before Emily can talk to me, the teacher comes in.
Ms. Schmidt walks through the corridors and says "Good morning pupil. From today you are in the 9th grade and that means this year since you are doing the student exchange. Our host school in Japan is very happy. But only 5 of you can do it for." 6 months on the domino high. "
and as always, Emily lets go of a spell now. "You definitely won't make it. I'll send you a postcard then." I hate them. Sometimes I wish she would choke on her words.I look at Stella and we have to grin. Because she and I really wanted to take part. "So students I am now handing out the notes. And if you are elected you have to pay a few. It would be 500 euros. Those who want to take part, please bring the note signed by their parents tomorrow." now I only have math, sports and 2 hours of German. After school I pick up my sister and go home with her and Stella. "Bye stella I'll see you at school tomorrow" she grins at me and nods.
Now I just have to wait until my mom comes home so she can sign the note for me. That's how long I play with my sister Marie.
"Hello Mommy" I grin at her.
"What did you eat up?" She asks me
"Nothing. How did you come up with that?" "What do you want then?"
"Our teacher gave us a note today for the student exchange. And I would like to take part from far away. It only costs us 500 euros."
Mom looks at me big. "500 euros? That's a lot of money. Where are you going?"
to Japan. You know I've always wanted to go there. And I can speak the language too. "
She looks at me for a few seconds. "Ok but you pay half yourself."
"Really? Okay, I'll do it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're the best mom in the whole world."
I squeeze it as hard as I can. "Liz how long are you gone then?" I hear very softly. I bend down to my sister. "for 6 months. But I'll write to you almost every day. And we talk on the phone quite often." then I just have to push it.
I go to my room, lie down on the bed and turn on the laptop. Then I pick up my cell phone and call Stella.
"Hello..."
"Hey Stella my mom said yes"
"Cool. Mine too."
"How are you going to Japan yeah"
"But Liz, we have to go shopping first. We have to please the boys."
"Ok, we'll do that tomorrow after school. I have to hang up now. See you tomorrow"
"Bye Liz"
I look for information on Japan and the city of Domino on the Internet. And of course about the domino high. This school looks really great. I hope so much that I can go there. Nothing happens for the rest of the day. I do homework and then there is dinner.
My sister Marie went to bed straight away and my mom is planning her next day at work. I go to my room, watch some TV and chat with friends.
It's late I should sleep slowly.
The next morning I get up and my sister is still in bed. Today I fuss with her for 5 minutes. Then it's off to the bathroom and have breakfast. Stella is already under and waiting for me again.
We go to school together and had to grieve the whole time. Because we really want to go to Japan.
When we arrived at school, we handed in our notes for the exchange.
The rest of the day went as usual. Emily was annoying and I had to pick up my sister from school every day.A week passed and Ms. Schmidt finally knew who was allowed to take part in the athlete exchange. "So kids, I am going to tell you the names and families you go into now."
Stella and I looked at each other and hoped that we would be there.
"The first 2 are Joey and Kai. You go to the Muto family"
"The next are 3 girls. They are Emily, Stella and Liz. The 3 of you go to the Kaiba family together" Greeeiich. Why did Emily start handing all of a sudden?
"Kaiba ?? how cool"
"Do you know the family?" "Yes stella. Who doesn't know them. Seto Kaiba the cutest guy of all time. He has the most successful toy company in the world. The Kaiba Corporation."
"How do you know Stella?" "There's nothing I don't know Liz."
That was Emily again. She thinks she's the smartest one. A dog has more cribs.
"Quiet students. Here's the school uniform and information about the family. Read them.
We will meet us in 2 days at 8 am at the airport. "
