Sitora:.............
~*~*~*~*~*~*
'It's pretty cold......' I thought to myself as I looked out the window of my room. My mom rented us a pretty big apartment, so I had my own room. There were all sorts of boxes scattered all over the floor, still to be unpacked,......My family had decided to move to Japan for a year, for a 'change of pace.' Not that I had a problem with it.....I stared up at the night sky. It sure was a pain, the plane-ride what with the beefed-up security from 9-11, and now with the sarz threat........
It was quiet, my brother, sister, and my dad were still in America. They'd be here in about a week, soon as we get stuff set up...
Tomorrow I'd be starting school. I never was a good student in America, and it's supposed to be even harder in Japan. Now it's not that I'm not smart, I'm just lazy is all. My name, by the way, is Sitora. Er,....I'm the only one in my family that can speak Japanese, and I'm not very good at it...
So I hope SOMEONE in my school speaks English. I went to bed.
*the next morning*
Teacher: "Ok class we have a new student today! Her name is Sitora Achilles. She's from America so be nice."
The teacher said it in Japanese. I looked around at all the people in the class that stared and kinda whispered to each-other. I noticed a girl with short brown hair smile at me. There was a boy next to her, with shiny black hair, who stared without much interest.
I guess I did look kinda funny. With all those kids wearing their school uniforms and me with my baggy camo skater-shorts that went a little past my knees, my tight, black T-shirt, my skull bracelets, wristband, and skull necklace. I hadn't gotten my uniform yet. I was a bit more tanned than most of the kids. I had long, light-brown hair and greenish-blue eyes. I carried my Japanese-English dictionary with me, just in case.
Teacher: "Ok. Um, why don't you sit behind Kayko"
She pointed at the seat behind the girl with the brown hair. I took my seat. A lot of the kids still stared. I tried to ignore them. The teacher let us have the rest of the class off. The girl In front of me turned around and smiled widely "Watashi no namae wa Kayko desu!" she blurted out.
Me:" .................."
Her: "Oh, My name is Kayko." she said in English, being careful to pronounciate. I knew what she said, It just took a second to register.
Me: "My name is, er.... Watashi no namae wa Sitora desu" I replyed forgetting I wasn't in America.
Kayko: (in Japanese)"So, you speak Japanese? Was it hard to learn? I had a hard time learning English. I had to ask my teacher to explain thing to me over an over!"
Me: "Well It sure wasn't easy. I didn't have a teacher. My school didn't teach it so I had to buy some books and teach myself. And I'm a terrible teacher and an even worse student" I said chuckling a little. Kayko giggled.
Kayko: "Taihen desu ne. (that sux) Oh! This Is Yuskae Urameshi." she said pointing to the boy next to her.
Yuskae: "Yo." I smile lightly. I could still feel the eyes of the class still upon me. I have to admit it was a little unnerving and I don't scare easy. It was September 3rd and it was a little warm but I shivered once or twice. I kinda don't like people.
"RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!!!" went the school bell for lunch.
It was a nice day so a lot of kids ate outside. I sat alone under a tree eating the P.B.n J. sandwich I had packed. I sensed 3 people coming up behind me. I closed my eyes and sighed. "Domo Kayko-chan, Yuskae-chan," I said
Kayko: "Wow, how did you know it was us?!" asked Kayko extremely surprised. Yuskae just stared wide-eyed. I shrugged and looked up at their friend. He was rather tall and had orange hair. He stared back.
"So,.... you must be the new kid!" He said as if he were pointing out something nobody else noticed.
Me:".....................right. My name is Sitora. Pleased to meet you."
"My name's Kuwabara." he replied. I stared at him for a bit waiting for him to say something else but he didn't.
Kayko: "So..........how's…. America?" she kneeled down next to me.
Me: "Meh" I shrugged. "It's different, people speak English there for one," I grinned. Kayko giggled. Yuskae sat next to Kayko and Kuwabara sat on my right.. They were eating these funky rice madoos with chopsticks. I never was good with chopsticks. I'd tried several times to learn to use em with sweet n sour chicken but I always ent up getting frustrated and just stabbed the meat and ate that way, I cant imagine how they can eat rice with those.
Yuskae: "So....." he said trying to start a conversation. "What music do you like?"
Me: "Well most of the bands I like You've probably never heard of them just like I don't know any Japanese singers other than Utada Hikaru. But Mostly I like rock, just about anything with a screaming guitar solo. I play electric."
Yuskae: "Really?? Neat!! Maybe you could teach me?" he said with a sudden interest.
Kuwabara: looks down at me. "Wow shorty's pretty kool!!" I turned and glared at him.
Me: "Shorty......?!" I wasn't that short I was just like an inch shorter that Kayko. Before I could say anything else the school bell rang. I went though the rest of my my school-day with at least one of the three in my classes. It was sort of interesting hearing actual Japanese since all I'd heard before was in my Japanese language c.d.'s and the animes I watch on the international channel. They used allot of slang which was a little confusing but I caught on a little.
But it was after school that thing's really started to get interesting...............
