thing"
Laughing, Jones leaned down to her friend and hugged her despite the sticky liquid on her top. Her beloved cap fell to the ground. Su quickly stole her friend's cap and kept it away from her just as Andy had done with her before with the drinks, so that a little tussle arose on the floor until Andy finally got her favorite piece back. Puffing and laughing, the two lay down next to each other and looked at the clear, cloudless sky. The weather here on La Palma was just too nice. Su took her friend's hand and gave it a light squeeze. The older one understood and returned the handshake with a slight smile. It doesn't take words to understand that the two girls got along and liked each other exceptionally well. This was probably the beginning of a good friendship.
For an eternity, so it occurred to Anderson, she was now wandering around the school grounds in search of the auditorium, in which the school meeting was supposed to take place mainly in honor of the newcomers. Actually, she just wanted to quickly get her favorite cherry flavored labello. But when she came back, the place, which had previously been overcrowded with students, was deserted. Not a soul wide and far. Not even Sam, with whom she shared a room, could be found. Disappointed that Sam had let her down, and frustrated with her own lousy sense of direction, Leena simply dropped to the floor. She wrapped her arms around her thin legs and put her small head on her knees.She strained to remember which building the auditorium was in. But the more she thought about it, the more her mind wandered until she realized it was pointless anyway. The meeting had started a quarter of an hour ago. Turning up now would be extremely embarrassing and cast a bad image of her, at least with the teachers. And she couldn't afford that. On the other hand, she would be missing out on a lot of information that was not exactly insignificant to her. If she had only been to the auditorium at least once, her photographic memory could help her further.
Sighing in annoyance, she just leaned back and stretched out her arms. Goosebumps immediately spread across her skin when she touched the soft grass, which tickled her lightly. Closing her eyes she listened to the birds singing around her and enjoyed the warm sunshine on her face. It was nice to just switch off. Her body relaxed noticeably. Suddenly there was an amused throat clearing above her. The 18-year-old sat up frightened. It took a while for her eyes to get used to the sunlight. She blinked at the figure, whose outline she only recognized because the sun was shining directly behind his broad shoulders. A few seconds passed before she realized that a boy with blond hair was standing across from her and was grinning crookedly at her.
"Isn't this a weird place to sunbathe, really?" He asked with an amused undertone and looked Anderson up and down, which she raised an eyebrow in response and also looked at her counterpart took. Straw-blonde hair, light freckles and a broad, sympathetic grin on your face. He wasn't badly built either. The muscles showed slightly under his orange shirt. He definitely looked good. But what she particularly liked were his ocean blue eyes, which immediately cast a spell on her. Leena just couldn't help but take the blonde to her heart straight away. "-Well, do you like what you see?"
The strange boy laughed brightly and winked teasingly at her. She stuck out her tongue for him, grinning. “I'm Ena and what's your name, handsome man?” Grinning cheekily, she tilted her head and looked up at him, holding a hand over her eyes so that she could see him better through the blinding sunlight. Still grinning, he held out his hand to her.
"Naruto Uzumaki, future soccer world star", laughing happily, he held out his hand to her.
Anderson accepted with thanks and was pulled up by him at the same time. However, the Uzumaki had underestimated his own strength, so that Leena fell nose first against his chest.
“Ouch!” Rubbing her nose, she looked up at him accusingly. "-Sorry, really now, I'm so sorry. Really now!" His deeply frightened look made her laugh again, which elicited a relieved sigh from the Uzumaki. Grinning faintly, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment."- Tell me, what are you doing out here, shouldn't you be at the school meeting?" The Uzumaki lost all color from the face.
Cursing, he turned and started running in one direction. "Tsunade-obaachan will kill me!" "-Hey, stop!", The Anderson called after him
Naruto braked so quickly that Leena thought she heard a squeak on the lawn. Faster than she could see, he was suddenly back with her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her away again. Leena was too busy keeping up with the Uzumaki not to stumble to complain.

When Leena entered the auditorium with Naruto, the meeting had already started, as expected. The headmistress, who was standing on a grandstand next to the lectern at which one of the teachers was just introducing himself, immediately caught sight of her because Naruto had pushed her into the auditorium first. A crease formed between Tsunade's eyes as she eyed the Anderson reproachfully. Leena felt uncomfortable and suppressed the impulse to loudly justify herself. However, this would be a rather embarrassing undertaking in front of the assembled student body, which is why she left it at a helpless shrug. But when Naruto's head appeared behind her, she noticed how the expression in Tsunade's eyes turned into understanding and at the same time annoyed. With a nod of her head, she inconspicuously instructed the two of them to sit down, which the two of them could not say or show each other twice. Naruto disappeared into the back rows and sat down next to a black-haired boy, who greeted him with a half-hearted handshake, so that Leena stood a little undecided. She didn't dare to sit down with him. Who knew how his friends felt? Suddenly she saw her waving to Sam. Relieved to have found a seat, she tried to climb over the legs of the sitter as inconspicuously as possible and then fell onto the seat next to her roommate. "Why did it take you so long?"
A little offended, Leena curled her lips and replied: "Had you waited for me, I would have been there long ago." "-But I told you that I would go ahead to get us a good seat" "-Oh ... "
The younger one smiled and shook her head. "You haven't missed much anyway. At the moment only our future slave drivers introduce themselves. One nicer than the next", the sarcasm could only be seen too clearly in the voice of the Black.
"Oh come on, they're not that bad either. After all, teachers must be useful for something, too," the girl suddenly reported, who had taken a seat on the other side next to Sam. A perverse grin appeared on the blue-gray-haired woman's face.
"Oh yes, forsomethingthey should actually be good ... although when I think of the snake face from before, I prefer to fit ..."
"Eee, Sam you are so gross," grimacing, Leena nudged the Black in the side.“What then?” Innocently the named looked up, whereupon the girls chuckled and bowed their heads. A stern look and a throat clearing on the part of the director helped the trio to get back on track.
"By the way, my name is Savanna, but you can call me Vanny or Stacy if you prefer." Smiling, Leena replied: "Nice to meet you, Vanny. I'm Ena, well, actually Leena. But most just call me Ena. ”The Anderson shrugged. Another clearing of his throat, this time from an older student sitting behind them, got them completely focused on the meeting. And not a second too early, because the introductory round of the teachers had just ended and the headmistress took her rightful place at the lectern again. Examining her, she let her gaze wander over the assembled student body. There are fewer and fewer, it flashed through her head. If it goes on like this, it would end very badly for her and the boarding school. Unnoticed, she bit her lip slightly and tried to concentrate on the waiting students and teachers again. Following an impulse, she examined every single new and old face carefully and tried to remember it. Who knew how much time she had left ...
Quietly clearing her throat, she finished her train of thought. "Well. I think you've heard enough today. I'll just give you a little more information about the course of your school day. Hopefully everyone has already received the timetables."
She paused to make sure she was being listened to. However, she realized that most of the students were already disinterested and bored of the long speeches of some teachers staring into the air or starting to get restless.
"I will try to be brief. You will have classes five days a week, the weekend is at your disposal and we will try to arrange leisure activities as often as possible so that you don't get stupid ideas, as some of you do do care "- her gaze inevitably wandered into the last row to a certain blond boy who just grinned knowingly at her.
"In the morning, as you are probably already used to, normal classes will take place. Now we come to the reason why we invited you to the boarding school. Each of you has an extraordinary talent. Our goal will be your talent to promote, expand and compensate existing deficits. This is done through a special and for you individual training on five afternoons a week and various events that we will inform you about on the notice board. We have developed a similar system for the students, so that you can concentrate on your talent while studying. You will find out everything else over the next few days. I wish you a good afternoon and a good start into the new school year! "
As if on command, most of the schoolchildren and students jumped up when the Senju said goodbye and pushed their way through the entrance of the auditorium into the open as quickly as possible in order to save some of their free afternoon.School would finally start again
