Chapter 1: "Turning over a new leaf."
"Hello My name is Talisha Fukushima. I was never your average girl. I was town-boyish and for as long as I can remember my life was always hectic in one way or another. My Mother did the best that she could for me up until she passed, then I had to stand alone on my own. The Bronx weren't so bad though, at least that's how I try to remember them ya know. I never thought that I would be here, in Japan living with my mother's parents. But as fate would have it here I am." (Internal dialogue)
It is normal, quite day here in Tokyo. The sun is shining, crisp winds flow throughout the shrine as the wind chimes play they're harmonious tones. I have only been here in Japan for about six months now. To be honest it is way better here than it is in New York, I haven't thought about returning there in a while. I sit up on the side of my bed and rub my still sleepy eyes, downstairs I hear my grandparents bickering about what to have for breakfast. They always bicker in the mornings about something. I slip my feet into my slippers and make my way downstairs. "Good Morning" Papa said to me with a smile from behind his newspaper. I bowed and sat down to the table "Good Morning". "Did you sleep well?" he asked as he folded his paper. "Yes I did thank you, How about you?" I replied. "I would say that I slept well… But Ma had her knees dead in my back last night". Papa said jokingly loud enough for Mama to hear. "Do not listen to his tales". Mama said as she was bringing breakfast to the table. We all giggled and prepared to eat. "So… what is on the agenda for today?" I asked before sipping tea from my cup. "We are shopping for you some suitable clothes today." Mama said "It is high time that you start dressing like a young lady." Papa added. Mama and Papa did not like my clothes for three reasons, number 1. They were boy clothes, Number 2. They were big and Number 3. They were baggy. I never thought of myself wearing frilly pretty things before. But, I knew that mama wanted to take me shopping so I didn't object. "Okay, can I get my hair and nails done too?" I could tell that they were surprised by my reply, Papa nearly choked. "Of course you can!" Mama squealed with delight. Papa stood up from the table "Well my dears I must take my leave if I want to open the store on time today." Mama and I stood to give Papa a kiss on the cheek. "I want to see a new lady when I come home today." He said as he put his coat on. I smiled "I am looking forward to you turning over a new leaf." With that remark Papa left for the store. Mama gathered the dishes and I began to clean up dining space. After that was done I went to go take a bath. Mama had laid out one her dresses for me. It was a beautiful pink and baby blue dress and a pair pink wedged lace up heels. I was excited about going shopping and 'Turning over a new leaf'. I got out and dried off and put on the nice things that Mama had laid out. I looked…different … For once I had a shape. Mama walked in "Oh my GOODNESS!" She exclaimed "You look so BEAUTIFUL!" She went on "I never knew you had she big these" she said poking my boobs. "And such a HUGE that." She said gaping at my backside.
