Chapter 3
I am so sorry for not updating in forever. To be honest I had kinda forgotten that I was writing this.

So just like everyone thought, my brother agreed to letting me stay with him for a while. Which means that after one week I am now at the airport waiting to board my plane to my new life in Japan. The only people that came to see me were my parents and my uncle Oscar, and I'm fairly certain that the only reason my parents came was because I'm their daughter and no other reason. And yet, out of 20 people that enjoy giving me shit about everything I do, only 3 people came. Well I guess uncle Oscar doesn't count because he's really supportive in everything that I do, but still they could have at least called.
"Be sure that you don't cause any trouble for Xavier, Kimberly. Remember that he is doing you a favor by letting you live with him." said my mother
"Try to have some fun while you're there and don't forget to call every now and them" said Uncle Oscar
"Goodbye Kimberly and try to make some friends" said my father
"I will" I said to all of them "I should probably get going, I still have to go through customs and everything"
After they left I went to get in line to go through customs and then wait for the plane.
Time skip (A/N: there's going to be somewhat of a flashback up ahead)
Once I was on the plane I started thinking about what my father had said, Make some friends ? Yeah right as if it were that easy. Everyone at my old school that had tried to be my friend only did it because I belonged to the Manjarrez family and they wanted to try to take advantage of that and get the latest technology that my family's company manufactured. There had only been one person that I had ever truly called my friend. Her name was Ali Cross and she had gone to the same dojo as me for martial arts lessons and had been my sparring partner. She had been the only person that had seen me for who I really was and didn't care what family I belonged to or how much money I had. Unfortunately my mother didn't approve of her and didn't even like her at all and would always try to keep us apart, but that didn't matter to us. Then one day she called me to tell me that she was moving away and she didn't no where she was going. I remember that mother had forbidden me from going to say goodbye to her so Uncle Oscar helped me sneak out once my mother had left to go shopping. Once I had arrived to her house I saw that her family had already packed everything and was getting ready to leave.
"You got here just in time Kimberly, we were just about to leave. Ali is up in her room waiting for you" said her dad
"Thank you" was my only reply and then I took off running up the stairs towards her room
I opened the door and I saw her standing there by the window
"Ali I'm here" I told her
Then she turned around and I saw that she had been crying
"I thought that you wouldn't make it in time" she said
"Oscar helped me sneak out and I'll probably be killed once my mother finds out but it doesn't matter" I said "anyways I brought you something but first I want you to promise me something"
"What is it ?" she asked
"I want you to promise that no matter what happens or how far apart we live from each other that we will always be friends" I said
"Only if you promise the same thing" she replied
"I promise" I told her sincerely
"Then I promise too" she said and with that I pulled a golden necklace that had a cross out of my pocket and showed it to her
"What is that ?" she asked
"It's a necklace" I told her
"Well thank you captain obvious but why do you have it ?" she asked
"It's for you" I said as I handed it to her
"It's beautiful Kimberly thank you" she said with a smile "can you help me put it on ?" She asked so I helped her
"And now it's my turn" she said
"Your turn for what ?" I asked her
"To give you something" she responded "close your eyes" she told me and I complied. I heard her take something out of a box
"Now open them" she said
"You sure are being bossy today" I said while opening my eyes to see what she wanted to show me and that was when I noticed that in her hand she was holding a necklace that had a bunny on a leather chord.
"Let me help you put it on" she said so I let her
"I know that you like bunnies so I thought that this would be a good present for you" she said "Do you like it ?" She asked once she saw that I hadn't said anything
"I love it, thank you Ali" I said
After that we said good bye and she left and I haven't heard from her ever since but I know that no matter what happens she will always be my friend
(A/N: End of flashback)
I honestly don't think that I'l make any friends at this new school that my brother enrolled me in. And then there is the fact that I hadn't seen Xavier in 6 years due to the fact that he was a genius and he had graduated early and had already started attending a prestigious university when my father decided that he was prepared enough at the age of 18 to start running one of the Kitre Enterprises branches. So he moved to Japan when I was 8 and left me all alone with my parents. Xavier and Oscar were the only ones that were ever there for me when I was in trouble with my family, which is one of the reasons why Uncle Oscar suggested that I move to Japan and that Xavier agreed so easily. They knew that I just wanted to live a regular life, not a life where I had to strive to be perfect and please everyone in my family. They're the ones that made life bearable by telling my parents to let me do sports, kendo, martial arts classes, and special classes where I learned everything that there is to know about Japan. So now I'm actually really happy that I can finally see Xavier.
Once I stopped thinking I noticed that 2 hours had passed. I guess I should try to sleep for the rest of the 13 hour trip. After I woke up I realized that I'd been asleep for 10 hours so I just listened to music for an hour.
Once the plane landed and I got through customs and everything I went to look for my brother since he had said that he was going to take the day off to pick me up and show me around. After about 5 minutes I spotted him waving at me.
"Hi Xavier" I said
"Hi Kimberly, how was your flight" he asked
"Boring, although I slept through most of it" I said
"Are you ready to go?" Asked Xavier
"As ready as I'll ever be" I said thinking about how my new life might be and actually I have a feeling that it's going to be great, and who knows, just maybe I could make a good friend
