“Hey,Tomiko, are you ready to go? We have like an hour till we have to be at the airport.”

“R-right!”

… hey! Wake up Tomiko!

‘’ Huh? Where am I?”

I woke up hearing a high pitched ringing in my ears. I looked around only to find I was in a hospital!

“ Tomiko! I was so worried about you! When you Wiped out I-I was so worried!”

I tried to talk but my voice was weak. “ I’m fine, don't worry.” Was that all a dream or a premonition…

“ Y-you are probably confused you were attempting a trick where you I uh think you called it a uh full stand? you tripped on a rock and blacked out.”

“ So it was all a dream…” I was kinda happy to hear I hadn’t become a crazy mafia boss, but if things continue this way… I might have to.

“ Tomiko! I just realized our light is in 50 minutes but you're not discharged yet… We need to call in a nurse Oh! Uh I’ll F-find one, don't worry I’ll get us back to Japan!”

“ you’d better hurry.”

“Right!” Reichika soon after ran to grab a nurse. I sat there thinking about that dream. “ Yo!, worker bee!” I looked around. It was Camellia.

“ Camellia When did you get here?”

“ Well I thought as a good Leader I should check on my Injured party member Right?”

“ I got the nurse! Oh, hey Camellia. Thank you very much for paying for this room!”

“ H-huh? You paid for my room seriously, thanks so much!”

I guess we Can call all that a weird dream right…

“ Hey… I know you guys have to go back to Japan in about an hour, if you feel like you need longer… you could always reschedule y'know.”

“ R-reschedule hehe.”

“ Reichika you mean the thought never crossed your mind!? I thought you’d checked already because you were rushing so much!”

“Yeah sorry about that haha.”

So we pushed our flight back a week. I got out of the hospital about 3 hours after I woke up.

“ huh? Tomiko… you crashed I guess you're not a worthy rival I would’ve nailed that trick-no I just simply have more experience hm,I’ll allow you to catch up, Loser.”

“ So Who won?”

“ Oh believe It or not you did! You see you were Uh sabotaged!”
What I-i was sabotaged? “ B-by Who!?”

“ Oh uh It was Imani haha.”

“ And who In the HELL IS THAT!!”

“ Um!That's my nickname for … Charlotte.”

“ What the-”

‘’ I don’t regret It either…Although It sucked! Having to pay for your room.’’

“ Wait Camellia! You didn’t pay? You took credit for It too!”

“Well I mean I never actually said I did pay you both just assumed…”

And so the days passed until eventually we had to go back to Japan.

“Hey Tomi I heard you crashed glad you're okay!”

“ What a mom your daughter almost dies and you don’t even show up.”

“ I almost starved! Oh and where’s my Sweet juicy delicious Honey Bun!”

Mom suddenly had an Intense stare on her face. It was horrifying she looked like she was about to kill me.

“Here It is.” For once I remembered!

“ Huh!? THE HELL IS THIS!!”

“ A uh Honey Bun?”

“ THIS IS A BOSTON CREAM DONUT DAMMIT!!!”

“ Huh? N-no way.” The whole damn trip was a failure- No wait I still won the money!

“ Well Maybe You’ll like It?”

“Fine!, I’ll cast judgment after a taste test.”

*Hamph* “ Holy! This Is The Best Haah! Tomiko… you’ve passed, Judgment!”

Yay! I did It *Yawn* “ I’m tired, I'm going to bed.”

“ I’m sorry but you have a week worth of work to catch up on. If you don’t have It done by tomorrow afternoon you’ll fail all those assignments.”

“ Huh! Oh no this is bad if I have a week’s worth that means-”

I was getting a call from Reichika, how I could tell her grades are horrible and she can’t afford to fail these projects.

“ Holy ffrhkrght Tomiko, did you see all the work we have? I'm dead tired too…”

“ Don’t worry if we can meet up before school we can make Finish It by the end of the day!”

“ Right! We’d better get some sleep If we need to be up early *yawn!*”

“ Okay see you tomorrow.” Yes I’ve got the brains to do this This will be my Last stand!

“ S-school’s not open yet!”

“ Ah! You two? Why’re you here so early?”

“ Ah! Well we have a lot of work due at the end of the day, we were hoping to get an early start.”

“ ah yes you both went to america how about this I’ll help as much as I can we have about an hour before anyone else shows up.”

“ R-really thank you so much!”

“ Think of It as repaying a debt for the fun night we shared before you guys left.”

And so all 3 of us rushed through the work until.

“ Finally done! I can’t thank you enough Mr.Braun without you we would still be working and still far from being done.”

‘’ ah! You finished In the Knick of time here comes Ms.Ishiya.”

“ Oh! Good morning you two My, you’re here early Is it the missing work or your little Delinquent skating hobby Oh my that was Insensitive I apologize hahaha." This Is Ms.Ishiya She’s the Guidance counselor but she tends to let her true feelings on students Personal Lives slip then she apologizes and laughs it off.

“ Anyway I really have to get going see you later skaters hahaha that one was hilarious.” Yeah, as you probably guessed, we don't really like her and she seems to hate us too. In America I think this type of person would be called a, Karen yeah! Oh I don’t think Calling someone a Karen Is nice, well she started It anyway.

“ Hey Tomiko I’m hitting the hay before the big match.’’

“ Well I’m not tired, I might just skate around outside.”

“ sure *snore*”

Man she must’ve really been tired… I wonder why I just feel like there’s something I need to see outside at this very moment.

I went outside following my Feeling and found a girl about my age skating at the school entrance. She didn’t seem to notice me. I stood there watching her. In amazement She did trick after trick, each more Impressive than the last.

When she Noticed me she tumbled off her board and glanced up at me with an angry look in her eyes.

“ Hey, you ruined my set!”
