I do not own Fruits Basket!

Love always finds its way around

"Oh gosh, I know I'm gonna screw something up" It was my first day and I was starting a new school.

I was a transfer student. I had always dreamed of going to Japan because I was always fascinated by the people and the culture. I was from California so I was nervous that I wouldn't fit in.

I was dropped off at my new school by the transferring agency. I wasn't going to be able to see the family I was staying with till after school, so I had to bring my suitcase inside with me. I felt so stupid putting my suitcase in my locker.

I walked into my new classroom. There weren't a lot of people, which was good. I'm not that good with people.

"Everyone, please take your seats class is about to begin." Our teacher was very weird, he gave me a seat in front of the classroom and then we had to do a exercise where there was a ball that went around and who ever got it had to say there name, favorite color, favorite food, and what they liked to do.

Of course, I went first. "Hi, I'm Rachel Dale, my favorite color is blue, my favorite food is pasta, and I like to read and shop." Everyone in this class SURE makes you feel weird while talking.

So the ball went around, and it got less awkward as I learned everyone's names. I was having a lot of fun actually. I was looking around when I spotted a cute little boy. He looked like he should have been in Kindergarten or First grade. I believe he said his name was Momiji. He noticed me looking at him, so he smiled and waved.

The whole class turned out to be a joke because for all our subjects we played games to help us learn and we goofed off. At one point, Momiji came over to introduce himself to me face to face.

"Hi! I'm Momiji and your Rachel!" He was soooooooooo cute I almost wanted to hug him but then I thought that that would be weird since we just met and all.

"Hi Momiji it is very nice to meet you" He looked at me with those cute eyes.

"So how do you like it here in Japan so far?"

"Oh I like it a lot!"

"That's great! Wait here, you need to meet my cousin!" He ran over to this extremely hot kid with white and black hair. It brought him over and I thanking god he was his cousin.

"Rachel, this is Hatsuharu or Haru for short!" Man, this kid has a lot of energy!

I look over at Haru to see him sighing. He then speaks up.

"Yo, I'm Haru and I'm sorry for my crazy cousin."

"Ohh its ok you-"

"You know you're pretty cute want to have lunch with me and Momiji? We also eat lunch with our cousins that are a year older than us and their friends."

I noticed that I was gazing into his eyes while he spoke, so I quickly come back to reality and say "Sure."

After the bell rang and we were walking to lunch, (for some weird reason I was in the middle of them and we were all holding hands) I was thinking to myself man, I'm glad I've made some friends and these guys are really funny. I really wonder what's in store for me here in Japan.
