Chapter 1! I hope my prologue was okay. Should I redo it? Re-write it? Let me know! ;-)
Anyways, enjoy chapter 1! ^_^
(Present day)
Beep, Beep. I heard my alarm clock go off, thankfully, it was only a Saturday morning, so no school! I just finished my second semester test! So now, I am entering summer break! Which means, no school! I am overly excited for this.
My best friend, Cami, short for Camille, texted me.
Cami: Summer break! Want to hit my beach house?! We can party 'till we're purple!
I snickered at her spongebob reference and replied.
Me: Haha, very funny. I'll ask Auntie.
I put my phone down and rushed downstairs. This wasn't a mansion, but it could be one. It was pretty big to be honest, my auntie was a technology engineer, so she was very busy. My uncle is photographer, so he's taking pictures of models.
"Auntie, Auntie!" I shouted, hopping into the living room. My blondish/orange hair flopping up and down. Auntie told me that my hair had grown lighter than it originally was, which was orange. I cut my hair to my lower neck, and I always put it up a small side-ponytail, but the rest of my hair is down. I am about 5'6, so I'm definitely not short, I have a B cup bra size, thankfully.
"Yes dear?"
"Cami was wondering if I wanted to go over to her beach house this summer, can I, can I?" I pleaded, my eyes growing bigger.
My auntie sighed and got up from the couch, huh oh.. sighing is never a good sign.. Auntie looked me straight in the eye and said, "I'm sorry dear, but, your parents want you to visit them. Their sons, your brothers, are on summer break too."
I pouted. My brothers? The ones who almost murdered me when I was little? Like I'd EVER want to see those brats again.
"Aw Auntie! I wanna spend my time with Cam-cam! Not some murderous psychopaths!" I whine and she rolled her eyes at my dramaticness.
"I'm sorry Emi, you know I'd never mind you going with Camille, but this is very important!" She says, I still pout.
Her face squints sheepishly and she adds, "Well um.. also.. Your flight leaves tomorrow.. HONEY! TIME FOR BREAKFAST!" She quickly runs out of the living room to make some breakfast while I leave my eyes wide open.
WHAT, tomorrow! That's so soon! I mean, I really want to go to Japan, but that's WAYY too soon! I have to pack, I have to tell Cami! I have to hurry up and get my Japanese books! (Even though my Japanese is already good.)
I rush back upstairs to my room and headed straight for my phone. Which got like 10 messages.
Cami: You ready girl?!
Cami: What did they say?!
Cami: Dying here! I need to know!
Cami: Please tell me you took your phone with you!
Cami: Tick tock! Waaaa! ;-;
Cami: I gotta eat breakfast, if I don't reply back fast enough it's because of that. BRB! :)
Megan: Hey! Are you going to the beach house?
Megan: Make sure to bring your bathing suit! You look hot in a bikini!
Megan: Oh! Btw, I still have your math notebook at my house, thanks for the borrow :D -Meggy
Stacy: E, I got your note, thanks for the invite, but I'm busy this summer! Love ya! -S.S
I sighed looking at all my texts, Megan and Stacy are my two other best friends, I did a group message:
To: Stacecles(STAE-CE-CLES), Emitterfly, Camster, Meggy-peggy.
Me: 'Sup girls! Can't make it to beach house, going to Japan tomorrow :(
Meggy-Peggy: Ooh~ Lala! Ja(then), Sayoonara my friend!
Stacecles: Ganbatte ne!(Have fun!)
I smiled, obviously Cami was still eating breakfast. She's a REALLY slow eater, ya know? I sigh, closing my phone and Auntie pulled my luggage out. It was a blue luggage with pink hearts.
I got it from my parents on my 10th birthday. Honestly, I do really miss my parents a little. I've seen pictures of my mom and dad.. and my brothers, who happen to be twins, they all look a lot like me too.
I'm not gonna lie either, I am slightly excited to see my parents, I sorta hope they do somewhat accept me.. But I could care LESS about my brothers. They totally suck! My Auntie told me that dad said they were, 'Total loons' and 'Good for nothings'. Although, as you could probably tell, I was still never over the whole 'drowning me' incident thing, so as you can see, it left a HUGE scar on me. I sigh and laid on my bed. Tomorrow? How could it be tomorrow?
I got another message my the group msg that I made:
To: Stacecles, Emitterfly, Camster, Meggy-peggy
Camster: Okay, I know this is so late, but can I see a picture of your siblings?
Meggy-peggy: Yea same! I wanna see if they look like you.
Me: Well, they're twins, so yea.. I'll send a pick, give me a mome.
...
Meggy-peggy: Woah! You have some HOT brothers! I'm so thankful to be your friend, take me wit u ;3
Me: Meg, get a life. I can't take you with me.
Camster: There went out dreams. #EmiDreamCrusher
Me: Seriously? You tagged me?
Stacecles: OMG YOU'RE BROTHERS R SO HAAAWWWWTT (^=O=^)
Meggy-peggy: Rlly? We established dat already. #KeepUpStace
Stacecles: Alright I towwie.. Stace is out! PEACE!
Camster: When you go to Japan, take A BUNCH of pics of your brothers, kay? Enjoy your afternoon!
Meggy-peggy: The Megs gtg, see yall around town! (O=u=O)
Me: Okay, I'll do that! See you guys later!
I then smiled at my phone. They were my best friends, I'm so happy to be friends with them too, but I won't go all mary-sue on you. I closed my phone and sighed, now pulling out some clothes to pack.
~~~~Time Skip to Night~~~~~
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I told and my Auntie came in, smiling sadly at me.
"Em, I know you're mad at me, " She started as she sat down on my bed, "But trust me, this will be worth, and if you REALLY hate, I-I'll.." She started to tear up, her eyes turning puffy and she put her hand to her chest.
"I'm sorry I just.. I just really want you to get to know your family.. and you haven't seen them in 10 years and... you're doing so well in school.. I just really wanted you to let them see how much you've grown up and.." She continued between sobs, but I interrupted.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll stay with them. How long do I have to stay anyways?" I asked, she instantly smiled at me. Wow, how bipolar is that?
"Well, " She started to count, "Your parents wanted you to stay for 5 months, but I managed to cut it down to 3."
THREE WHOLE MONTHS?! I sighed in frustration, I did NOT want to be there for 3 whole months!
"3 months?! That's my whole summer break!" I exasperated.
She sighed and sheepishly looked up at me, "Well.. the plan was for you to stay in Japan long enough that you'd actually not want to come back here.."
"What?!" I raised my voice, Auntie put her hand on my shoulder.
"But, " She started, "That's ONLY if you liked staying with your parents. They won't stop you if you don't want to stay there. But here's the deal, you stay in Japan for 3 WHOLE months and if you hate it, you don't have to stay there any longer. But you're mother and brothers exclaim that they really miss you."
I frown, sighing in agreement. Which made my Auntie smile even more and she hugged me.
"I knew you were a good child!" She exclaimed. I rolled my eyes at her over reaction. After the talk, she left the room, leaving me to finish packing. I wonder what they're like..
(The next morning)
"Em! Come on, let's do this!" I heard Auntie shout from outside. I groaned, hugging to my covers.. 5 more minutes.. it's only Sunday.. Suddenly, I could hear my door swing open and large footsteps coming in.
"Em! Get your butt up and get dressed!" She ordered loudly, clapping loudly, an attempt to get me up.
I rolled over, my back facing her and whined, "5 more minutes Auntie.. pleaseeee."
"Emiko Sakura Hitach-" She started, but I interrupted, "Emiko Sakura Suzuki."
I could feel her eyes roll at me as I used her last name instead of my family's.
"Whatever, either way, it's 9:30, your flights at 11 and it takes about an hour to get to the airport! Do the math yourself smarty pants!" She exclaimed, ripping the covers off my body. It was true, I'm actually really smart. I skipped 2 grades, so I'm now a first year in highschool, well, since it's summer, I'll be a second year next year! I'm also my class rep, but.. as you can tell, I don't have many friends. Stacy, Megan and Cami are all still 7th graders going onto 8th.
Sometimes it really sucks being the smart one.
"Okay, okay! Just let me get dressed!" I say, I could feel the devious smile on her though. Sometimes, Auntie creeps me out.
She left the room, giving me a chance to get dressed with the clothes I picked out yesterday.
I wore dark blue Capri Jeans, with a pastel pink knit sweater, the sweater's sleeve came down to my mid arm. I put my small side-ponytail up with a hair-tie that had a pink heart. Looking at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked slightly decent.
I then got a flashback that sometimes I get.
~~~~~FlashBack~~~~~~
"You guys! Wait up, wait up!" I shouted, trying to catch up with a pink haired girl and a blue haired girl.
"Don't worry, we're not going anywhere." They both chorused over their shoulder. Once I finally caught up, slightly panting, I then looked up at both of them and asked, "Where are we going?"
They both frowned.
The pink one started, "Just be patient-"
"-yea, princesses are suppose to be patient." The blue haired girl finished. I frowned and shrugged, keeping my mouth shut and following as the grabbed my hands and pulled me down the hallway.
~~~~~FlashBack Ended~~~~~
"Em! Don't let me see you still in be- Oh, good you're up and dressed, let's go." She cheered, interrupting my thoughts, and dragging my hand and pulling me down to the car.
"What about my breakfast?" I asked, slightly folding my arms and she turned to me, her eyes sparkling.
"You can get it at the airport, let's go go go!" She urged, pushing me into the car as we drove off to the arport.
~~~~~Airport~~~~~
"Bye, Em! Don't forget to write! And take a picture of you and your brothers everyday! I don't want to forget what you look like.." My best friend, Megan, said as she finished hugging me.
Stacy rolled her eyes and deadpanned, "Meg, Em isn't going off to war here. She's just going to be gone for 3 months."
"But I won't see my bestie until then! A lot can change in 3 months!" Megan argued.
"I doubt it honestly, I'm just going to meet my family and then come back." I said.
Cami snickered and said, "I don't know Em, you have your ways of not always meaning what you say."
We were all at the airport and my friends wanted to give me a good goodbye. We all hugged eachother and they waved their goodbyes. I started walking towards security check-in because I already had my ticket with me.
Well... Here goes nothing..
