Chapter 1:

"Moving on"

Have you ever had the feeling that the world is against you? As if everything you do no longer make sense? That's what I feel right now, everything in my life is about to crumble down and I cannot do anything to protect or to prevent it.

I'm Anna Kyoyama, almost 17 years old, I'm half Japanese, half American. My mother is American and my father is Japanese.

The problem was that I was not just a normal girl, I was the daughter of the most powerful men in Japan, Dad possesses half of the society in Japan, and on the other hand mom is a royalty family. Their marriage have been arranged. Like dad used to say: "People cannot understand each other if they don't have same views, more precisely if they don't live in the same standards, same hierarchy."

So at the age of 12, they planned an arranged marriage for me too, but I slipped out and told them that I will find myself my prince. After some convincing, dad accepted but in one condition, I should find my prince before the age of 17 and if somehow I failed then afterwards I should do the plans they will have for me. The time wasn't really a problem, I got 5 years to find the perfect boy.

At the age of 15 I fall for the ideal guy or that's what I thought, everything in him was like I have imagined, even beyond my expectations if I must say. Handsome, well build, caring, intelligent. We were together for almost 2 years. Two months ago, I finally invited him to meet my parents but he stepped back saying he wasn't ready. I was so shocked I didn't see that one coming from him. He said it was too early. I explained my whole situation to him 'the arranged marriage thing' that if I didn't find a boy before I turned 17, my parents will choose one for me, but he still didn't change his mind. The icing on the cake he burst out saying he had another girl.

'Was it my fault for not revealing my situation at first? Did he really love me? What was I to him? What was my mistake?' All of these questions were running through my mind.

'Now I shall pay the price.'I sighed. 'I don't even want to think of what kind of guy I'm going to be engaged with.'

'No, must not think! No regrets, I have to go on. Let's see what the future holds.' With these last thoughts I fell asleep on the plane.

5 hours later

"Miss, you've arrived at destination, welcome to Japan!" the pilot said, waking her up.

"Thanks" Anna replied, rubbing her eyes.

Anna left the private jet, she searched her cellphone into her bag and there was one message: "Sorry I can't pick you up sweetie, there have been last-minute changes I have a meeting to attend but the bodyguard will be there to pick you up. Dad.''

'As usual.' she sighed , not bothering to reply.

"Jun, come here this instant." Pirika screamed.

"Why are you screaming like that? Did the show starts already?" Jun asked while walking down the stairs.

"No, but I've got a message from my brother Hororohoro, he said 'A friend saw Anna in Town!' "

"What? But I thought she won't be back till next summer vacation." Jun asked

"Yes, that's what she said…." Pirika replied thoughtfully

"Unless…"Jun said, and both Jun and Pirika exchanged looks.

"You don't think…"Pirika started.

"…she got dumped." Jun finished.

"Let's call her" Pirika said.

"No, let's go to her home."Jun said.

"But it's 9p.m. " Pirika retorted.

"Yeah you're right, her parents won't let us in." Jun said.

"I was talking about the time, not her parents restrictions." Pirika said.

"Let's pass by her home after lunch tomorrow" Jun said.

"Yeah…, hey, the show begins" Pirika said excited.

"Increase the volume" Jun said , adjusting her sitting position on the sofa.

"Breakfast!" one of the maid screamed.

"Coming!" Anna replied.

"Hello sweetie!" Amidamaru said cheerfully.

"Hi dad" she replied.

"Why the long face? You will love your new school. Also your friends will be there." he said.

"Yeah…" Anna replied not so enthusiastic "did you put me in the same class as Jun and Pirika?" Anna asked looking up from her plate.

"I've already talked about that with the principal" he replied.

Anna smiles. 'At least there are some advantages coming back here, like being with her best friends.'

"Anna, once your Mum comes back next week, we will present you your fiancé after" her Dad continued.

Her smiles didn't last long.'Of course' she thought.

"Trust me, you will love him. He is from a very good family. He is Japanese also, he lived abroad before, just like you but he went in UK not USA, and since high school he is here." He said excited.

"Dad, I'm late, gotta go! See you" she said, not wanting to hear more about her fiancé's whereabouts.

It's 7:30a.m. in the morning and Jun, Pirika, Tamao and Horohoro were heading towards school. Jun stayed all night at Pirika's house.

"Oww, my head hurts" Pirika whined.

"You guys stayed up at night watching Game of thrones again?" Tamao asked.

"You should watch it, it's good" Jun advised.

"Girls, are you going to Anna's house later?" Horohoro asked catching them up.

"Yes, why?" Pirika asked.

"No special reason" Horohoro replied, scratching the back of his head "I just wanted to come along."

"Don't tell me..." Pirika said turning around "you're still into her?"

"What? She was cute back then, she sure has grown up a lot! She probably had turned out really ugly!" Horohoro said, convincing himself.

"Yeah yeah I remember you always wanted to get her attention but she always ignores you." Pirika said smirking.

"Nonsense! I was just helping her." Horohoro said, trying to defend himself.

"Who is Anna?" Tamao asked.

"It's our best friend, she went in America to live with her mother and now we've heard that she's back here" Jun said.

"By the way, how was your date with Yoh yesterday?" Pirika asked.

"Good, good, as usual" Tamao replied "nothing special really" as she shakes her hands while her face slightly turned red.

"No need to be so worked up about that, it was just a question. Besides, he is a good guy" Jun said, tapping her shoulder to calm her down.
