Step aside, leprechauns; this pot of gold is mine

There was, somewhere in the school, an information club. Somewhere. That was the thing. Apparently nobody actually knew where it was or, if they did, they weren't speaking up about it. While that was totally frustrating and not cool to Anh Sang, she could appreciate the challenge. Then, when she finally found it, it would just mean so much more!

She was running through the hallways at the moment like some sort of a mad person, a flock of light butterflies swarming after her. Somebody had told her that the room was magic and that it would disappear if she didn't find it in five minutes. Maybe it was true, maybe it was just a joke, but Anh Sang was going to make that person eat their words.

Cupping her hands around her mouth, she shouted loudly, "HI I'M LOOKING FOR THE INFORMATION CLUB ARE YOU HERE?" Even if nobody answered back, she was still throwing open all of the doors.

Before Anh Sang really knew what was happening, she was pulled into the room by a person much bigger than she was. Which, to be fair, was almost everybody. But still!

Her mommy and daddy had taught her manners so after the few moments of confusion, Anh Sang bowed right back in what was more or less a proper Japanese bow. "Um hi!" She actually winced a bit at how loud her voice was. When people were polite around her, it always made her feel a bit more nervous and self conscious.

She tried again, "Um, I'm Anh Sang. I'm trying to run for student council right now but I need some help with getting votes. I don't really know what to do and part of your club name is assis-assistance." The word was hard and her English was still not that great but she was awfully proud of herself for getting it out.

Anh Sang stared at the boy, her eyes wide. And then, barely a second later, a wide grin had spread over her face. "My name's Vietnamese, actually!" she said cheerfully, also in Japanese but with a noticeable accent. "Pham Thi Anh Sang! My mom's family is all Japanese from Osaka, though. They call me Anzu sometimes over but anything will do!"

"Um, so, sorry, what's your name?" She held herself back a bit after realizing how carried away she had gotten. She was just so glad to be able to speak Japanese with somebody.

Oh, and he'd been to her other hometown, too! She sat down when he offered, because she was never one to refuse that sort of thing. Once she had, the girl began to swing her feet. Her legs were still too short to touch the ground. But she enjoyed it, anyways, and might as well continue to do so until she became a real adult.

She tilted her head. "Ah? What sort of favors?" Anh Sang asked. She wasn't really sure what an upperclassman would want an elementary school student to do. Maybe run errands? "Would you be interested in magic?" The girl suggested, scrunching up her face a bit in thought. "I can put magic in people! Oh, but I'm not too good at it, yet. Most people don't want me to because it feels funny at first but it really doesn't hurt at all after a while."

It wasn't that helpful of an answer but Anh Sang did like to talk about her powers quite a bit. "Oh, well, I guess it lets them manipulate light a bit like I do," she said thoughtfully. "I haven't tried on anybody since before coming to school, though, and they made me take it back right afterwards because they were afraid their parents would be angry. I don't think it would be as strong, though."
