Sora POV
"Welcome to America, California. We are now in LAX" the plane announcer says and I look out the window to see skyscrapers and a bunch of buildings as we land. My eyes widen and look out the window in awe. 'So this is America.' I say to myself.
"Sora, let's go, we will be getting off." Nakamoto says next to me. I nod my head and get out of my seat standing next to him in the crowded plane.
After getting off the plane we walk in the airport and I look at all the different people here. "This way." Nakamoto says and I follow right after him. After getting out of the airport we hop into a cab and we drive for a good while.
When we're driving I ask "Nakamoto-san, so right now we are heading to school or the apartment first I ask?" he looks at me and nods his head at my question. "Well kinda both." I give him a look of confusion and he continues.
"At this school that I enrolled you at is a school that focuses on sports and various studies, it provides dorms. Fortunately they have a foreign department and lessons that provide for foreigners like yourself to adapt to the language, english, and other stuff as well. They have other students from Japan or speak Japanese there as well. But it will be hard for a while since of the language barrier, cause we spoke about this before and you only know a little bit of English." I nod my head at the information.
"Ah I see, I forgot and got confused about the place I'll be staying at. So do you teach at this school?" I ask. "Hm..Well, I guess you could call it that. I don't necessary teach like a teacher, I'm more of a coach that helps and trains students like yourself. Though not all students will have their own personal trainer unless one gets picked or opted during the year or circumstance like you."
I hum at that and smile slightly. "Well Nakamoto-san, I look forward to these years ahead of us. I look forward to working with you." I tell him and stick out my hand. He smiles back at me and shakes my hand. "Same to you. I'll turn you into a powerful and better player by the team you go back to Japan." he tells me and I smile brightly. "Thank you."
We soon arrive at the school and I step out of the car along with Nakamoto-san. I look at the school. "It's huge...." I mumble out loud and my mouth is wide open. I close the door and go to the trunk to grab my suitcase and bag out.
Nakamoto leads me inside the school and takes me to a building farther away and takes me to the third floor. He walks me over to a room and hands me the key "This is where you'll be staying at for these upcoming years. Once you're done putting your stuff inside come out and I'll show you around campus, it's huge as you can see, I got to show you the high school portion and the middle school portion so let's go once your ready." he tells me while I unlock the door and push in my suitcase.
"Wow~" I say and take a quick look around. The room was relatively small but was a little fancy and I had my own bathroom and a small little kitchen area. With the bed pushed against the wall in the corner and a desk beside it. It was comfy and cool. I placed my bag on the desk and grabbed my phone out along with the keys putting it in my pocket.
I walked out of the room and locked the door. "Well let's get going." I say and smile at my future here at this new school.
~Time Skip~
"Sora again!" Nakamoto yells at me while spiking down the ball at me. I nod my head and wipe my sweat away from my face "Yes!" I bend my knees and watch the ball come down at the corner of the court. I dive for the ball and send it back up to the setters position.
"Good job! Take a quick break and we will move on to your spikes next." Nakamoto tells me while getting down from the stool and grabs his water bottle. I nod my head and pull myself off the ground "Yes thank you." I say and make my way to the bench grabbing my bottle and sitting down.
I sigh out exhausted. "Your English is getting better as well." Nakamoto says to me now in Japanese this time. I nod my head. "Yes, well you make me speak to you sometimes in English plus the classes I take are in English as well. The class that helps me speak it the first class of the day so it helps and I try to study it alot. Plus to students here try to speak to me but it's still really hard to speak and get to know anyone. Though they're some students that speak Japanese as well, so it's not all that bad. We all are trying our best to speak the language and do our sport." I say and I wipe my sweat off with the towel.
Nakamoto smirks at me. "Well sounds like its going pretty well. You've been here for a little over a month and I would say that your getting a hang of things. Well let's get back to it." he says and puts down his water bottle and goes to grab a ball from the bin. "We'll be doing spikes now. Get in position."
I sigh and put down my bottle as I stand up and jog over to the court. Getting into position he throws me the ball and I catch it. I spin it in my hand a bit and throw it over his head. I step back a couple steps and start sprinting forward to the net, jumping and waiting for the ball. The ball comes into vision and I smack it down hard into the ground. A straight shot.
"Good. Now we have to do a hundred before we can take another break." he tells me and I wipe my sweat. I smirk at that. "Bring it on."
