"So, how much did he assign you to read?" Finley asked

"Five"

*sigh* "ok, why did he give you the old English version?"

The what?? "What is old English?" I asked, confused.

"Um, basically ancient English that no one uses anymore"

I nod my head in understanding, then pause… what?

He must have seen my confusion because he continued explaining. "It's from a long time ago, it's the earliest recorded form of English."

"Oh, ok," I said. Not knowing what else to say.

:/ QAQ

- Time skip -

I walk into my dorm to see Xander sleeping. Then he wakes up and immediately walks out of the room. I stand there confused, what just happened? Two minutes later, Bear barged into my room from the connecting room, bouncing up and down with Theo in tow. Bear's eyes sparkling with pure joy.

"What are you doing just standing there?!!!" Bear said excitedly.

I stared at him with confusion.

"Come on, come on, it's dinner time and they're serving pizza!!!"

I get pulled roughly by the arm by a very cheerful Bear out the door. Passed a tired-looking Theo and a person leaning against the door with an expression that I don't understand.

←(>▽<)ﾉ "Let's go, hurry up, Theo!" Bear says excitedly.

┐(´ー｀)┌

I turn around to see Theo sigh and walk behind us slowly with no enthusiasm.

I am so confused, but I decided to go with the flow like a leaf in a river. In no time we got to a large room with tables and people serving food at counters. I look around the room to realize how vast it was. Bear, continues to drag me to the counter that was serving food. He lets go of my arm and grabs a tray and lines up. I stand there for a second before someone pushes me towards the trays. I turn my head a little to find Nico behind me.

"What you doing just standing there?"

"Oh, sorry?" I quickly walked up grabbing a tray and uncertainly going to where Bear was standing behind some other students.

I stand there awkwardly and a man asks me what type of pizza I want, cheese or pepperoni. I say pepperoni and I get two slices and some grass. Wait, no, not grass I meant salad with lots of tomatoes and cucumbers. I really like cucumbers, I remember when I was young my grandmother from my mom's side would give me a whole cucumber to eat in the summer. She would wash it and I would just eat it whole, it was so good. I continue to follow Bear to a table and sit down next to him. Not while after, Theo, Finley, and Nico come and sit down. I pick out the leaves from the salad and prepare to eat the tomatoes and cucumbers.

"What are you doing?" asked Bear

"??" I look up questioningly.

"With your salad."

"Oh, I don't really like the leaves so I take it out," I said.

*Pft* "Leaves?" *hahaha* "omg that's so funny," Nico laughs

I stare at him in confusion, what's so funny?

I take a bite of the tomatoes and It's nice and juicy. Then with high expectations, I eat the cucumbers and almost choke in shock. What is this??? Is this really a cucumber? This is disgusting and I can't believe that this is a cucumber! I ranted in my head. (╥﹏╥)

I wanna go home, I wailed in my head. Are all American cucumbers like this?

"What's wrong? You look like you're going to cry" Finley asked

I shook my head in denial that this was a cucumber. It was so dry, soggy and the texture was ちがう. It was all wrong, it wasn't supposed to be like this. The one from my home country was not soggy, but crisp, and juicy.

I croaked "is this really a cucumber?"

"Yeah, sadly the ones in the U.S are kinda sad, so everyone usually doesn't eat it. Not that I've ever eaten one from another country. But, that's what Bear tells us," Finley replied.

"Oh," I said.
