Ägypten-Das Geheimnissvolle Land
Chapter 1
Hey, I'm Ronny and I'm 16 years old. At the moment I still live in England with my mom. In 2 days we are moving to Domino. My mom said she needed a change and I have to go too. Today is one of those rainy days when there is not much you can do but hide under the covers and watch TV. Unfortunately there is not much coming. All of my boxes are packed and some of them are already in dominoes.
Knock Knock "Good morning honey. Hurry up, we have to leave in 30 minutes"
"Yes mom", still half asleep, I also stand and go to the bathroom. "Why do we have to leave so early. It's six o'clock." I thought out loud to myself.
I brushed my teeth, had a quick breakfast and am just collecting my last things.
"Mom, I'm finished" "I'll be right there too. Does anything else fit in with you? My suitcase is full." "Of course, give it to me" "Thank you. So the taxi is waiting downstairs." and we're on our way to the airport. I look solidly and reminisce. But in the holidays I will visit my family so this is not a goodbye forever. There was a lot going on in the airport but luckily there were no delays. On the plane I was sitting at the window and my mom was next to me. I listened to some music, watched a movie and at some point I fell asleep. We sat on the plane for a total of 16 hours. We arrived exactly midnight and quickly called a taxi and drove to a hotel. Not much has been done in the new apartment. As soon as we were in the room, I fell asleep. The next morning we drove straight to the new apartment. "wow" "look Ronny you even have your own bathroom and balcony" I was really happy about it. The apartment was so nice. On the first floor was the kitchen, the living room, a bat and my mother's bedroom. On the first floor was my room with an adjoining pet and a guest room that also had a small pet. I went up to my room and started unpacking the boxes and assembling the furniture. Most of the time I got there on my own. Our apartment slowly took on a shape. "Mom, I'm done upstairs, how far are you?" "I'm as good as done. How about we order something for dinner? We deserved it." I thought for a moment. "Yes that would be great." So we ordered pizza tomorrow is Sunday and then I'll go to a new school in a foreign country. I was a bit queasy at the thought. I don't know anyone yet.
And it's Monday morning and the alarm goes off. Annoyed, I get up and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then I put on my school uniform. It consists of a black mini skirt, a white blouse, a black blazer and a purple tie. It's the first time I've been wearing my school uniform. "the uniform suits the good darling." said my mom with a smile on her face."Well, it's okay. It's still a bit strange." I sit down at the table and have breakfast in peace until my mom suddenly jumped up. "Ronny you have to go look at the clock." I looked at her a little annoyed and said "it will continue for 5 minutes"
"Ronny! Hurry up, I'll drive you fast"
I sat in the car and dreamed something. "What's going on honey?" "Couldn't have moved here earlier?" my mother gave me a strange look. "Why?" "I'm going to a new school now, exactly one month after starting school." I said still annoyed. Because actually I didn't feel like going to a new school 1 month after starting school.
"You can handle it. And don't always look like that, you want to make new friends," I said nothing more and got out of the car.
The first thing I have to do is find the secretariat. And it didn't take long and I found it.
The principal gave me my schedule and a message for you teacher. So I'm in class 1-D of the upper school. Now all I have to do is find my classroom.
A little later the doorbell rang for class and luckily I could already see the 1-D classroom. I went in and gave the headmaster's note to the teacher. The others paid no attention to me because they were talking across the room. "Quiet!" the teacher shouted suddenly and looked at me. "Hello, I'm Ms. Sakurai. I'm happy to welcome you to my class," she smiled. "then introduce yourself to the class"
so I turn around and introduce myself. "Hey, I'm Ronny and I've been living in Domino for 2 days.
Before that I lived in England "
Everyone stares at me like I'm a brand new luxury car.
"Ronny please sit at the back of the window, please." And that's exactly what I did while watching the other gazes. I unpack my books and tried to fly in class.
When the doorbell rang at break, I went to the vending machine and wanted to get something to drink. "hey you are Ronny right?" I looked to the side and saw a brown haired girl who was a little taller than me. "Yes and you are?" "I'm Tea. Nice to meet you. How do you like it here?" She asked me with a grin. "Pretty good so far." before she could say anything we heard a loud "Halli hello" and two guys came up to us. One was blonde and had brown eyes the other had brown hair and brown eyes. "Hello guys," Tea laughed at the two of them. “Hello, I'm Tristan.” I looked at him and nicely I heard another voice.
"Hey me Joey and you are .." "Not interested." Joey looked at me confused. "See you then, Tea," I said to her and went back into the classroom. "did we say the wrong thing?" Tristan wanted to know but the others just shrugged their shoulders.
"You will write a lecture about ancient Egypt. You have two weeks. But you will not do it alone, I will give you a partner.You can also use the internet. "Everyone looked at Ms. Sakurai and was not interested in the presentation.
I didn't feel like doing it either, but Egypt was a bit of an interesting country.
She listed the couples and now she said my name. "and Ronny and will do the presentation with Yugi" she pointed to the boy next to me. I looked at him and saw a boy with purple eyes and black, purple, blond hair that looked like a hedgehog. He grinned at me and said "Hello, I'm Yugi." I just grinned at him.
After school I was about to leave when I heard Yugi's voice "Hey Ronny"
"Hey Yugi what's up?" "So I wanted to ask if you want to come to me today about the presentation? I thought about it for a moment." Yes, the sooner it is finished, the better. Can I come with you right now? "" but of course "I follow Yugi to his home. We hardly talked to each other at all. I had the impression that he is very shy.
Suddenly we were standing in front of a games shop. "you live here?" I asked him. "Yes, the shop belongs to my grandfather and above that is our apartment."
We went through the shop into a back door and now stood in the hallway. “Grandfather, I'm back!” An old man came around the corner and had a smile on his face. "Hello Yugi. Who is that?" "This is Ronny, she's new in my class and we have to write a paper about ancient Egypt" I grinned at his grandfather. Who brought me a smile. "Well then, you'd better start right away." Yugi showed me the apartment briefly and then we went up to his room. On his desk there were long golden puzzle pieces from which I just couldn't take my eyes off. "What is it?" I asked Yugi while my eyes were still staring at the parts. "It's an old puzzle. My grandfather gave it to me. But it is anything but easy." I looked at him briefly and then looked back at the puzzle.
"Shall we start? I also have a few books about Egypt. We could start with that." I took out my pad and a pen and began to scroll through the books.
In between, I kept looking at the puzzle. For some reason I couldn't stop looking at it. Yugi seemed to have noticed because he asked me, "Is everything okay? The puzzle seems to distract you." "Yes, yes, everything is okay."
It was getting dark and I decided to go home, after all my mother would be waiting for me. So we went downstairs. "Bye Mr. Muto and have a nice evening"
"Goodbye Ronny, come back soon."
"See you tomorrow Yugi" I said goodbye with a smile. Yugi still grinned goodbye.
I walked home unusually slowly because I still had this puzzle in mind.
