Music is my life, and everyone says that I'm a really good singer. The name's Aya, by the way. I just moved to San Fransokyo, and I live with my Uncle Shun and Eri, my sister. My sister is a robotics nerd and she's been trying to get me into it, too. So far, I'm not so impressed.
We moved into a small apartment. My room is full of posters of Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons, and a ton of other bands. Eri? The opposite. Hers is full of cabinets with, well, stuff inside.
I was walking down the street when I bumped into a kid around my age. Too-long black hair, light skin. He was kinda cute, in my opinion.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry!" I apologized.
"It's okay," he replied. "I'm Hiro Hamada. Are you new?"
"Yeah. I'm Aya Miyazaki," I said.
"Japanese?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Same." We smiled at each other.
"Do you like Robotics?" he asked.
"Not really. My sister does, though. She's the reason we even moved here. She wanted to come to this really big college," I explained.
"Really? My brother and I go there, too." And I?
"Uh.. You're around 14, right?" I probably looked as confused as I felt.
"Yeah." He smirked.
"Did you skip high school?"
"No, I graduated high school when I was 13."
"Because he's a genius," said an older boy,coming toward us.
He sighed. "Aya, this is my brother, Tadashi," Hiro said.
"Hi," I waved. "Do you know my sister, Eri Miyazaki?"
"As a matter of fact, I do," he replied. He's the kind of guy Eri would fall for.
"Aya!" Eri came running toward me. "Oh, hi, Tadashi, Hiro," she said.
"Uncle told me to find you. Dinner," she explained. "Hiro? You're around the same age as Aya, right? Can you show her around town some time?"
"Sure," he replied.
"Thanks!" Eri said. "She doesn't know the neighborhood."
"Let's all meet at the college entrance tomorrow when the classes are over. 4:00 p.m." Tadashi added to my confused look.
"Great. Thanks! See you!" Eri and I said, walking away. I looked back, and I saw Hiro waving. I waved back.
"So, what do you think about Tadashi?" Eri asked, looking into the distance.
"He's nice. Why?"
"I thought he was kinda cute." Wow. Eri has a crush on Tadashi!
"You're blushing," Eri said in her annoying voice.
"Just thinking..." I replied.
"About Hiro, I suppose?" Eri can read people's minds. Oh, no. Do I have a crush on Hiro? No, I don't. I DON'T! At least, I don't think so.
