OK I already have this story written up, it's about 50 pgs (or if you want to be technical and not front to back it's 25) on those weird note pad things-I didn't have regular notebook paper XD. Unfortunately I forgot to add chapter marks so I have to think of the best ways to end a chapter...

Moving to Japan was a real surprise. The fact that I'm pure American, Native American and all. Really we'd never go there, but well recent events changed our minds. About three months ago my mom was put into surgery for a bone problem and well...she didn't come back from the surgery. My step-dad promised to protect me from my biological dad so we packed up and learned some Japanese. Still I revert to English a lot since I'm still learning and it's even worse when I speak either way cause I have a southern accent. Still despite this, my junior year would be spent in Japan and I'd go to Kaibara high school.

To support us we had a bakery. Well, it was a restaurant too and my step-dad, who I always referred to as my dad, was the head chef. However his last jobs were cleaning stores and managing a truss plant in California.

"Dakota, are you ready for school?" My dad asked.

"Crap!" I was half asleep at my computer. for my friends it was still Sunday around three-thirty pm, but for me, well it was Monday and the time was seven-thirty am.

Hurriedly I found my uniform that consisted of a long sleeved shirt and floor length skirt. I hadn't woken up early to straighten my hair so it barely came to my shoulder blades and curled...a lot. My right side bangs i spent time to straighten because they were too short when curly. If they were straight the shortest would reach half way down my nose. I also straitened the left side which had short bangs too. Following that I had my eye make-up. I'd recently been putting eyeliner on top of my eyes, lining that and just having it on the bottom too. Then mascara and I was done! Quick and simple and still make my wierd teal-green eyes look cool!

I ran through the hallway and grabbed a scrunchy that I'd left in my bathroom as an after thought. It was October and if it rained I was screwed. At the door I grabbed my shoes and black messenger bag with pink and white skulls and stars on it. I arrived down stairs in the restaurant part to find my dad joking around with some employees. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, who's taking m to school?" I asked, hands on my hips.

"Ready?" My dad asked.

"Yup! Bye John and Sean!"

"Have a good day!" They said as we went outside.

In the car I boredly watched the scenery go by. On the way we past familiar face, or a couple I should say. Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo. It seemed Tohru saw me but I looked away. I didn't want friends here, a part of me said it was inevitable. I didn't want any last time and I got another best friend. but this tie I refuse to, i make sure of it. I was only here to get away from my real dad, after Junior year I'll move back to America I'm sure. If not, I knew for a fact we don't stay anywhere longer than a year and a half.

"OK, here we are. Have a great day." He said as we came to a stop.

"Thank you, bye love you Mike!" I smiled as him and shut the door.

'Here we go again,' I sighed thinking to myself.

It's still early so I made my way to one of the open hallways where I sat and read. Occasionally I'd get a text from my friends in Texas. It'd be almost six there. before I knew it the halls were full of people. The bell rang and I was off to class.
