My new world

Chapter 1 New Beginning

I didn't know what to expect when I would land in Japan. I had always imagined what it would be like. I could feel my stomach turn as the plane took off. I was starting my life over anew. Goodbye France, hello Japan.

The landing was kind of shaky and unnerving but I was here and I was scared for my life. I walked into the small apartment my mother had rented for me from back home. The land lady was nice enough and reminded me of mother.

"Here is your room dear"

"Thank you so much"

Then she left with a big smile on her face. I started to unpack my things that had already been delivered and I noticed a fairly big box I had never seen before. I carefully opened the box and inside was an old violin. There was also a note

"Dearest I hope you are well, here is something that can help you on your journey. Love Mama"

As I read the note tears filled my eyes I then picked up the violin immediately and began to play was like it was an extension of my arm. When I became more engrossed I lost myself in the music and began twirling around. Then suddenly the door flung open. The noise gave me a start and I dropped the violin right at my feet.

"Are you alright" said a cool smooth voice.

I looked up and was inches away from a handsome face. I couldn't even get the words to come out so like an idiot I nodded my head.

"Was that you playing" he asked.

"Yes …I'm sorry if it bothered you"

"Your really good" he said his cheeks slightly turning pink.

"Thank you so much" I said giving a small smile and matched the pink in his cheeks.

"I'm Sondaiyu…I live right next door if you need anything come and ask okay" he said as he started for the door.

"Marie" I called back.

"What?"

"I'm Marie and I'm glad to have met you."

"Ok see ya" he said as he walked out almost hitting his face on the door.
