Chihiro's going to college, but refuses to live in an apartment that was built where the Kohaku river was. But with the new apartment, and new friends, Chihiro settles down and starts her adventure in college. And a special surprise~ but you'll have to read to find out

Here's a story about Chihiro. Let's see how her first days in Kohaku City go~ enjoy

Oh yeah: I have the movie, but I'm too lazy to look up the spellings of peoples names… but I spelt them how they sound (in English) so you'll know who they are (hopefully)

Chapter 1- A friend? Sure, why not?

She sighed, and rolled over on her bed. Chihiro didn't want to be here. Anywhere but here. She was glad that she got into Kohaku College, but she didn't want to live in one of the apartments that destroyed her best friends home. She hugged her stuffed pig close to her chest, and stared out the small window.

Soft music filled the room, and she stared at her phone. After a while of Beethoven, she crawled across her bed and picked up her pink phone and flipped it open.

"Hello? Chihiro here."

"Honey! Hey how are you doing? Did you get all of your stuff in ok?"

She looked out at her car, with everything still unpacked and unmoved. "Yep, everything's up." She really didn't feel like lugging a bunch of junk up to the fourth floor.

"That's great, how do you like your new room? Is it nice and comfy? I'll have to come see you soon. But Kohaku City is so far from here…"

And so they talked about how Chihiro was doing in her "new home." They talked about unmet neighbors, and the unexplored College. They talked for an hour when her mom asked,

"So have you met any cute boys yet? … Chihiro?"

Chihiro stared straight ahead, with the same monotone voice she always used whenever her mom asked. "Not yet. Sorry, but I have to go now. Mmhmm… yep… okay, love you too… okay… bye." She snapped her phone shut.

Well, jeez. Mom expects me to move that fast? I haven't even unpacked and she's wondering if I've met any boys yet.

"Gonna go greet the newbie~

Wonder how she'll be~

We'll be best friends~

umm… a doo doo dee~"

Akari loved singing. And like she just sung, she was going to drop off her super awesome cookies for Chihiro, who just moved in to the apartment next to hers. She grabbed the bag and tied a ribbon to it, all the while singing her little song. She skipped out the door and knocked on the door next to hers.

The door opened to a cute brunette hugging a little stuffed piggy.

"A very good afternoon to you~ My name is Akari, and I brought you a little welcoming present~" Akari held out her homemade cookies. "They're chocolate chip, hope your not allergic or anything."

Chihiro took them slowly. "Thank you… that is nice of you. Oh, I'm Chihiro by the way." She shifted the cookies to one arm with her stuffed pig and held out her hand. Akari laughed and twisted Chihiro's hand up and smacked it in an Akari-style hi five.

"There's no need for formal stuff till you get old ~" Akari peered behind Chihiro into her empty dark room. "Do… you need help lugging stuff up here?" she asked.

"Uh… no, you've done enough, thank you." Chihiro said stroking her little piggy.

"What's his name?" Akari asked pointing to it.

"I call him Spirit." Chihiro said with a small smile. She pointed to her room, "Do you want to come in?"

"How about we go to my room and then I'll help bring up your stuff." Chihiro hesitated, but Akari dragged her to her own room and plopped her down on Akari's couch. They talked for hours and kept talking while they were carrying Chihiro's things up, and they still talked as she unpacked.

"Thanks for helping me unpack Akari." Chihiro said for the millionth time.

"Yep, no problem. That's what friends are for right?" Akari said as she was looking through a box. "You like dragons?" she asked holding up a white dragon with a blue mane. She also found a couple posters of "river spirits" and some drawings of an old man with a buncha arms labeled "Kamaji" and there were puff balls surrounding him.

Chihiro smiled and nodded, though the look in her eyes told me that they were special to her and Akari should put them back in the box. But, Akari was nosey, so she put them on the floor and pulled out several sketches of pigs. She draped the sketches on top of everything and pulled out a sparkly pink hair tie framed in a golden picture frame. Akari dug far enough, because Chihiro snatched the frame out of her hands.

"Sorry… but this is the most valuable possession I have." She said hugging it to her chest.

"Oh… sorry for being nosey~ I have to go now anyways, tootles~" Akari skipped to the door and called back to her, "I'll see you tomorrow~ have a good night~"
