I was walking around Japan, with my two older brothers. Now, there was a good thing and a bad thing about this.

The good thing was that I was in JAPAN, birthplace of most of my favorite things. A couple of examples are: pocky, anime, and manga.

The bad thing though, was that my oldest brother, Alfred (America), was shouting on the top of his lungs, saying how he was "the hero" and running around. My other brother, Matthew (Canada), was trying to calm Alfred down.

I sighed. I thought, I HOPED, that today would be a GOOD day, for once. "Sadly, luck never really comes my way, does it?" I thought to myself.

I had dressed up too, for this occasion. I wore a plain white T-shirt, a red hoodie, white skinny jeans, simple black converse, a black beanie, a silver anime necklace, anime bracelets, my beloved bag that said "Senpai Notice Me!", and my brand-new pair of eyeglasses.

Soon enough, I had enough of Alfred's shouting. I tapped on Mattie's shoulder. When Mattie turned around, I whispered, like I usually do. "Mattie, I'm going to go try to find a quiet spot where I can read. I'll meet you and Alfred at the hotel." Mattie nodded and allowed me to go off by myself. I walked away.

~Time Skip~

Eventually, I had found a quiet, natural spot to read my manga. It was under a sakura blossom tree. I smiled slightly and sat down under the tree. I took out my bag and rummaged through it. I took out my box of strawberry-flavored pocky and one of my favorite mangas. I immediately started to read my beloved manga while nibbling on the pocky.

I was reading my manga contently, when I sensed someone looking at me. I looked up and saw... a cute black-haired boy around my age. He looked Japanese. I noticed that he was staring at the cover of my manga. The boy looked up and saw me looking at him. I blushed and he did too.

"Herro. Sorry if I bothered you. I just noticed the manga you have is the one I am trying to find. It recentry went out of stock. I am Honda Kiku." The boy said, bowing.

"Kon'nichiwa. I am Lilia Jones." I replied. The two of us stared at each other for a bit. "Um... Would you like to read it with me?" I asked Kiku. Kiku looked at me in shock, hesitated, but eventually, slowly nodded. "Yes, prease. Thank you." Kiku said. Kiku walked over and sat next to me, and the two of us began read it together.

~Time Skip~

Eventually, my brothers had found me, saying that I had to come home for dinner. I waved goodbye to Kiku, when Kiku stopped me and pressed a piece of paper into my hand. "Thank you. Good-bye, Lilia-chan." Kiku said, and when my brothers were not looking, he kissed my cheek. I watched as Kiku quickly hurried away. My face was bright red. I looked at the paper in my hand. It said:

I hope that we can do this again.

Here's my number, if you would ever like to meet up with me again.

Thank you, Lilia-chan.

(XXX) XXX-XXXX

Kiku-kun

I smiled happily, with a bright-red blush on my cheeks, as I walked away with my brothers.
