Kie Davis was extremely excited. She was going from New York to Japan to be an exchange student at Ouran Academy! She had always wanted to travel, and now was her chance. No way in Hell she was missing this.
When she'd told her best friend Jessica of her plans, Jess had been jealous beyond comparison. "I wish I could go with you," Jess had said. "I know. I wish you could come along too," Brianna had said, hugging her best mate. "Oh, Jess, I will miss you."
Kie had always been an extroverted know-it-all. She was the first to raise her hand in class and the last to stop talking in every conversation. She loved to laugh, and was constantly making up bad jokes and puns. Her absolute favorite thing to do was stand outside in the rain and let the rain pour on her face. Half the time, it made her sick and drenched her to the bone, but still she loved it anyway.
Kie was five feet tall with gorgeous red waist-length hair pulled back in a messy plait that cascaded down the small of her back like a waterfall of blood. Her eyes were emerald green and almond shaped.
Kie was the type who knew of her own beauty but cast it away like an old toy that no longer works. She was a hopeless romantic, constantly reading romance novels and watching her favorite films, which were Titanic and Pearl Harbor.
She may have been a romantic, but our Kie almost never had time to date. Until she met Takashi Morinozuka, whom everyone called Mori.
For the first time in her life, she was completely unprepared.
