Out of Place
Minakoto Yukisato here with yet another new story! I got the inspiration from reading another Clannad story. It was called A Shadow's Journal by… I believe their name was Buffalosoldja or something like that. If you're reading this, I just want to say I love the story and thank you for inspiring me. Anyways, disclaimer.
I don't own Clannad or any of its characters except for my OC. Clannad is owned by Key Studios.
Alexander Corbin was just like your typical need. He was socially akward, didn't have many friends, and was bullied a lot. He had curly brown hair, hazel eyes, and he wore glasses. He lived in the suburban town of Mooresville, North Carolina. It was a boring town, but it was comfortable and Alexander wouldn't want to live anywhere else. But that was about to change.
It was a rainy day that day. Alexander got off the bus and ran as fast as he could to his house. He didn't have his umbrella because one his asshole bullies stole and broke it. He took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door.
"I'm home." He called out.
"Welcome home, sweetie!" An older woman walking out of the kitchen said. This was Anais Corbin, Alexander's mother. She had long brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a blue sundress. She then gasped. "Alexander, honey, you're soaking wet!" She said. "What happened to your umbrella?" She asked.
"Scotty stole it and broke it." He answered.
"How horrible!" She said. "Change into some dry clothes and I'll dry those."
Alexander did as he was told. He entered his room. His room was small, but it was cozy. The walls were plastered with anime posters, from Sword Art Online to Keijo. He had a plasma TV in the center of his room. He had a PlayStation 2 hooked up to the TV, but he had other consoles beside it. He also had a Wii, a PS4, a Super Nintendo with a Super Famicom inside it, a PS3, and a PSOne.
He had a shelf on the left side of his bed. It had a bunch of figures on it. Izanagi from Persona 4, Hatsune Miku, Valor Form Sora wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion, Asuna from SAO, Byakuya from Bleach, Ruby from RWBY, Super Sonico, Angry Video Game Nerd wielding the Powerglove, and Yuri from Angel Beats carrying a sniper rifle. As you could tell by his room alone, he was big into anime and videogames. They were his escape from reality.
He took off his wet clothes and put dry ones on. He put on a black FLCL T-shirt and blue jeans.
He then exited his room and entered the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a can of coke.
"Alexander, dear. Please come in the living room. There's something important we need to talk about." His mother said.
"Coming, Mom." He replied, sitting on the sofa next to her. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked.
"Listen, honey. You're a wonderful human being and I'm fed up with all of these bullies giving you brief on a day to day basis. So I decided to put you in an exchange program."
"Exchange program?" Alexander questioned.
"I'm sending you to a place where you can get your education in peace and make some friends." She said.
"And where's that?" He asked.
"You know I used to teach school in Japan, right?" He nodded. "I'm sending you to Hikarizaka, the school I used to teach at." She said.
Alexander didn't want to be so far away from his hometown, but he always wanted to go to Japan, especially to the town his mom talks about all the time.
"I'm still in contact with some of my old students. One of them is the dorm mother for the boys dorm. She says she'll save a room for you."
"This is a lot to take in." The bespectacled student said.
"I won't force you to do it if you don't want to. You have until one week to decide." She said.
"I'll do it." He answered.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I've always wanted to go to that place you were always talking about. And I definitely want to put the Japanese you taught me to good use." He replied.
"All right then, I'll get in contact with the principal." She said.
ONE WEEK LATER
It was about time for the plane to Tokyo airport to arrive.
"Well, this is it." Anais said. "I'm going to miss my baby!" She cried, holding Alexander tight in his arms.
"The plane's here. I gotta go, Mom." He said, letting go of her.
"You better call me when you arrive in Hikarizaka! I don't care how early or late it is over her, you'd better call!" She yelled.
"I will! Bye!" He said as he boarded the plane.
