Hey everyone, so just so you know, in this story italics mean someone's speaking in English. I hope you enjoy!


"Do we have to stay with them?" You asked as your mom turned the corner.

"Ann, we've talked about this. It's just my luck your father is a divorce lawyer." Your mom replied. "I don't exactly enjoy spending time with my parents but they are family."

"I'm aware..." You said putting your hand on your chin and staring glumly out the window.

"It's just, the last time I saw grandma she called me a dyke." You said turning to your mom almost begging her to say: 'Okay sweetie, let's schedule a plane back to America.'

"Honey, that was 3 years ago... your hair's much longer now anyways." She replied, squinting at the house numbers.

"It doesn't matter! She hates everything that has to do with music, she always treats me like I'm a lunat-"

"We're here!" Your mom interrupted. "Anyway, it's been a long time, people change."

"Yeah, I'm sure she has a mohawk and goes to clubs every night." You said sarcastically. Your mom frowned and went to unpack the trunk. You looked out of the window at the creepy old looking house and saw your grandma peering out of a first floor window.

"Ayako!" Your grandmother said shuffling out of the house with a huge smile.

"Mom! How've you been?" Your mom asked with out-stretched arms.

"I've been grea- OH MY GOD! ANNA! What have you done to yourself?!" You grandmother screamed seeing you get out of the car.

"Nothing." You said like a deer in headlights.

"You look like a mass murderer!" She said eyeing the several piercings, purple and black hair, and ripped jeans you had on.

"Why thank you." You replied sarcastically and went to the trunk to get your things.

You stood in the back area of the school and looked around for some where to eat. 'Japan is so weird.' You thought to yourself watching everyone eating their food outside, totally relaxed. It had been a few days since you'd moved in with your mom's parents, it was your third day at your new school and so far, you hated every minute of it.

You walked over to a table and sat down and started to play with your food. You weren't really all that hungry but nourishment is always good.

"Hey, can we sit here?" You heard a male voice ask.

"Oh yeah, totally." You replied glancing up at a boy with brown hair and a boy with squinty eyes.

"Thanks." Said the squinty eyed one with a smile.

"It's no problem." You smiled at him and then went back to your food.

"You're Osagawa-Kemph Anna, right?" The one with brown hair asked as he took a bite of his sandwich

"Yeah, how'd you know?" You asked taking a sip of water.

"There's a list of new students in this semester and you're the only one who's 17." He answered with a smile.

"Ooooh, cools. What are your names?"

"I'm Sakurai Yuji and this is Tanaka Yukio." The squinty one said gesturing to Koyuki. "But everyone calls me Saku and him Koyuki."

"Nice meeting you." You smiled and rested your elbows on the table. "You can call me Ann, I don't like Anna anyway."

"Okay." Saku smiled and continued eating.

You had now known Koyuki and Saku for about a week. They were both 15 and it was their first year at your high school and they were really nice. You had been hanging out at lunch and you were really starting to look forward to it. You also found out that they were in a band. At the moment it's about 9AM on a Sunday and you were just waking up.

*Ring ring, ring ring*

You managed to pick up the phone and your groggy voice grunted, "Hello?"

"Uh, hi. It's Koyuki." The voice on the other end said.

"Yay! Hey dude, what's up?" You asked smiling into your pillow.

"Well we have a gig tonight and I was wondering if you could come check it out?" He asked hopefully.

"Oh yeah, sure." You replied happily. "Where is it?"

"Awesome! It's at a place called Live House, it starts at 18:00." Koyuki answered sounding excited.

"Killer, I know the place. What's your band called?" You asked rubbing your eyes.

"The band's called BECK." Koyuki stated happily.

"Seriously?" You asked with surprise.

"Yeah, why?" He replied with a question, sounding confused.

"I knew this guy who... never mind." You said shaking your head. "So I'll see you at the club."

"Okay cool, see you there. Bye." You hung up the phone and stretched out on your bed with a smile. You finally got to see Koyuki and Saku's band... awesomeness.

You got to the club about half an hour late because your grandma was making you extremely uncomfortable and you ended up getting into a fight with her, but it was all good because you were just in time to see BECK. You watched as Koyuki and Saku got ready and talked to their band mates. You studied the other three's faces. Your eyes widened recognizing the lead guitarist.

"Holy fuck! Ryusuke!"
