"Can this day just get any worse?" I screamed in annoyance. I had just heard that I was going to be sent to Japan, JUST to go to some boarding school. I was going to have to leave all my friends behind and have to start all over again, with no one. Oh, I didn't introduce myself yet.
My name is Hikari Hasegawa and I'm just turning fourteen. I'm going to be a ninth grader. According to my parents, my ancestors were Japanese ninja and supposedly, I'm supposed to have their skills. I don't think it's true because, well to be honest, I'm a complete and total klutz. I'm athletic and all that, but I'm just too damn lazy to try and care about being active. Due to this, I tend to stay with my computer and other electronics all day. Like people called me at school, I'm pretty much a computer nerd even though I'm athletic. Sure, I'd get mad if someone called me a nerd in public, but at least I don't deny that I technically am one.
"Mom," I begged. "Please let me stay!"
"No," She replied. "And that's final."
I sighed; I already lost this argument. I walked back in to my room wondering how it would be like. I walked out of my room hoping that I wouldn't have to leave until next week.
"Sweetie," Mom called. "Did I tell you that you're leaving Friday?"
"WHAT!" I screamed. "Friday! That's two days from now!"
Mom smiled sheepishly and that's when dad came through the doors. I looked at him, then to my mom, turned around, went to my room and slammed my door shut. I was so mad. {How could they just do that to me? They give me less than a two-day warning. The least they could have done was to tell me a week ago.} I sat on my bed so angry at my parents. I grabbed my laptop and signed on to AIM.

+++Back to Life+++
I closed my laptop and sighed. {I don't think I can say goodbye to everyone. I won't even see them before I leave, other than Jannine and Candice. I'm gonna miss everyone.} I looked at my clock, it was 10 o'clock. {Better get some sleep.} I fell asleep wondering how it was going to be like in Japan.
