I looked around, was I supposed to go that way or turn this corner?
Ah great, I was lost.
My family and I had just moved here because of my dad's new job. That place being none other than Tokyo.
It all started when a business man called my dad saying some weird opening that went something along the lines of "Mr. White, do you like sushi?"
We had to start all over. Just myself, my annoying brother and sister and of course my parent; you know, the typical American family.
I caught sight of myself in a shops window to see that the wind had loosened my long shaggy curly red hair from its ponytail, causing it blow over my grayish blue eyes.
I sighed and looked at the trees whose leaves had all fallen off onto the wet ground. I look both ways on the street on the road and saw no cars, just puddles and some people also across the streets, trying to get to their own destination.
I crossed the road and went up to a man in a black jeans and a white tie shirt. I briefly thanked my mother for forcing me to learn Japanese as I quickly asked him where Tokyo Gakuen was located at. He looked me over and told me that it was past the next block.
I said a quick thank you as I ran off waving behind me. He just nodded and was on his way, I past the corner and it looked as if everyone one was in already, I was going to have a heart attack for how fast my heart was going.
I opened the door and went to the office. A lady that looked about 40 sat behind the desk and was looking at me with distaste for being late. I bowed very low. "Hello," I said out of breathe
"Your late," her voice had change and now she had a smile on her face "Yes, yes, I am very sorry" I said taking another bow. "No it's all right may I ask what your name is miss." She asks looking at me "Um…November...White…" I said looking at her thinking she would laugh.
"Well, Miss White your room is 304 on the third floor. They're watching a movie, I believe" she said handing me a tardy pass. "Oh yes well thank you again," I said smiling and bowing. "Yes well get on your way then," she said.
I quickly walked down the hall, till I reached the stairs. When I finally reached the classroom door, I stood there thinking about what they would think of me. If I was going to be teased or if they wouldn't like me.
"What do I care.' I mumbled. A loud voice suddenly startled me from my thoughts.
I look up to see that someone was walking down the hall. He was tall maybe 6'foot 5 and had long but shaggy black hair with red highlights in it. His glasses bounced off the lights in the hall. I looked up at him
"You're new here huh..?" I nodded and looked down. "So you can understand me. They said that the "new kid" couldn't understand Japanese" he said looking down at me.
"I can speak it very fluently, thank you very much. Is this also your home room class?" I said looking up at him "Well yeah... Huh where are you from by the way?" he was egging me on and I didn't like it. "I'm from the USA." I said slowly and not showing my face to him. "Really? That's cool. Hey come on I want you to meet everyone..." he opened the door and pulled me in.
It was dark except for the TV which was playing a movie about history and some kind of demon by the looks of it. Everyone turned to look at me and the boy who had pulled me in. The lights were then flicked on and everyone looked at me and the boy.
"Hey guys this is –"he looked with a 'what's-you-name' eyes. I sighed and looked at the class.
"Hello my name is November White" I said slowly causing the boys to smile. "Yes, well. November here is our new classmate." The class looked at me and started to talk about me in harsh whispers. I looked at the ground, letting my hair hides my face.
I stop when someone pulls my hair out of my face and the boy smiles at me "by the way my name is Yokiu." he said smiling down at me "nice to meet you Yokiu." I said smiling back at him. Suddenly a girl tackled him, making him fall on the ground. She had purple hair and dark brown eyes with a touch freckles, she stood up and tossed me nasty look.
"Sorry this is my girlfriend Miki" he said as he stood up and brushed his pants with his hands. She had then put on a sweet face for her so called "love toy" I was disgusted by someone who treated boys like pets. "Nice to meet you Miki." I said giving a friendly smile which meant in girl talk; sorry I was so friendly; she smiled back and gave 'don't let it happen again look' I rolled my eyes
"Likewise, "she said.
"So what are you guys learning?"
"Demons from the past something on history blah, blah, blah, let's talk about you" said Miki giving me an evil grin. "I 'm not one to talk" I said giving her my own demonic smile. Poor Yokiu had not seen one glimpse of the evil one.
I watched as they walked off to their seats and sighed. Maybe, just maybe, I could actually fit in here.
