I just woke up early on a Saturday, why is that? I have to tutor Yua that's why, but before I go I have to prepare material to give her, I can't go there empty-handed and just read the book as usual, that didn't work for her the first time so I don't expect to work againIt took me some time but everything is done, it's about 11A.M right now so I will go to Yua's house"Hey kid, can you go to the second house to get some papers for me?"Hikita asked me"We have a second house?"I asked confused, I honestly thought we didn't have such things but 'Oh well' you learn new things as days pass"Yeah, walk to the right side of the house and climb the stairs, you will find the door at the top, and the papers I want you to take are inside the desk in a big bedroom"She told me before giving me the key to the house, I quickly found the stairs and climbed, as soon as I entered the house a gust of dusty air hit my face, I then made my way inside the houseIt was relatively big, it had one big liv
After going home I took a shower and put on my good clothes since I had to see my date in a little, I took my bike and I quickly went to the mallI texted Yua, I waited for a bit and she respondedShe texted me once again saying that, I guess I will go but now I'm kind of nervous, what kind of friends does Yua has? And why are they interested in me?After some minutes of walking, I arrived outside the KFCC shop and I didn't seem to find her friend"Hey there! Are you by any chance this dude?"She said as she showed a picture of mine that I uploaded on social"Ehm... Yeah, who are you?"I asked the weird girl, she had curly orange hair and bright brown eyes that matched the crazy color of her hair"Didn't Yua-chan tell you? I'm Temono Ichika!"She said as we shook hands, that's a weird way of introducing yourself but okay..."Want to go to the movies?"She asked me"I-I guess..."I awkwardly repli
I once again woke up in my lovely room with my phone boiling on my face, I have to change this bad habit of mineI then went to brush my teeth and get something to eat and then went to make something light to eat, you see I now get an allowance -for school so I can buy whatever the cafeteria sells, I'm free of library duty so I will finally be able to roam around the school on my free time"Look who's looking good this morning!"Hikita asked me with a playful voice"I always look like that...""Well not always! You didn't have to be this fresh before"???"What are you talking about?""whAt arE You tAlKing aBout?"She mocked my voice"Is this going to continue for long?"I asked with a mad look"I'm talking about your girlfriend you silly! You never told me you had one!"Hikita told me with shining eyes, I completely forgot that she follows me on socials"Oh yeah about that, I was going to tell you later but I guess you found out the surprising way"I said while rubbing my head"So ho
Our favorite time of the year came by, when the weather is hot, bugs are flying all around everyone and when we are forced to give our nationwide known mid-term exams, for this exams I was forced to stay more time at home studying aggressivelyThankfully it wasn't June, our school holds the mid-term exams early so we can attend a summer camp that it hosts, but we are not getting away since even when we are at a camp we are still progressing with our educationFunny thing is that I didn't even study the material given, I mostly studied the language, I know most things but I can't bring myself to write them on paper, math is different, I can solve the problems and the theory makes sense but as I said I can't write anything else at a damn paperFor me history and language are the hardest since it is only theory, of course, I have a little help due to the fact I was not raised in Japan but that still doesn't make up for all the lack of writing skill I have"You should go out, too much tim
So here I am, waiting in a coffee shop for my teacher, Terresa Barkingson, a woman that knows something about my mother and father, something that nobody in my family wishes to tell meAfter some time she was finally here, she wore a long dress, a very summer-like outfit"I'm sorry that I made you wait, kid"She said before sitting on the other side of the table"No problem, I wasn't waiting for long""So you actually came? For you to come here must mean that you want to learn something new about your father right?"She asked me as she signaled the waitress"I will get two of the usual!"She said before the waitress could arrive at our table"It just happens that I have never heard of this story about you and my father so I wanted to learn more about it, that's all"Terresa looked at me and smiled"Has anyone said that you are very alike?""I know that, many people say that"I knew she was talking about my resembles of my father"So what exactly do you want to know, because a simple "
Why did my life end up like that? I can assure you that when I was younger I was the star of the school, people idolized me and liked me to the point that they would copy my habits and way of talking, I was this liked. But when did things change? People may say when I started to stop trying at school, others may say that happened because I stopped caring about people's opinions, but I know damn well why I lost this title, the answer is because of envy and pride. You see people started getting envious of my "fame" and "power" when we entered junior high, people started to downplay me, with a low-key pace, I always thought that those reactions were normal, we all changed, but back then I was wrong, I was naïve, it didn't take long for people to form groups that didn't include me, I didn't really care since we are all friends at the end of the day right? WRONG! People just couldn't stand me after school started, but as a stupid person I didn't understand that, I kept thinking everything
Good morning to me, today is a new day and specifically, it is Saturday, I got up and went to brush my teeth, looks like my aunt has already brushed hers since the sink is dripping a single drop of water once in a while, I brushed my teeth while brushing them I could see myself in the mirror, my brown hair and bright brown eyes, besides my bright eyes nothing else makes me seem like a foreigner, after washing my teeth I walked to the living room, where she was "Good morning Iriasu-chan, did you sleep well?" why is she still calling me Iriasu-chan? to be honest I never understood all these things about honorifics but now that I'm in Japan I can't afford to call anyone by their first names, if I do they will probably be weirded out "Morning Hikita, do we have food, or should I make something?" I asked, she ignored my question, she was more focused on the way I said her name "Iriasu-chan I know that we are family but if it's possible call me Hikita-chan or san" "Sorry about that! I'
After I stormed out of the school I went home, the books won't buy themselves, I also have to buy pencils, erasers, pens, and other basic necessities for a high school student, the way back is peaceful, nothing like before, I arrived home safely and I went to brag to my aunt about her past self "Oi Hikita-san I heard that you used to be a gyaru girl, mind explaining to me? I want to learn the full story" When I told her that my aunt became embarrassed, I could tell by her reactions "How did you learn that? Did Yosuke tell you? I swear I will kill this bastard one day" she said angrily, her face turned exactly like the face she had in the picture Yosuke showed me, I laughed "You don't have to tell me if you don't want, I know that everyone goes through a weird phase in their lives" My aunt got mad and threw me a pillow while telling me to stop teasing her, but I don't think I can stop myself in the future, my aunt has a very funny reaction when she gets embarrassed, I then went in
