Waaaaiiii!!!! I apologize for not updating!!! I've been studying for SATs
(NOVEMBER 1!!!!!) for a while and projects kept piling up so I had to just
stop doing this fic for a few weeks. But I mean I don't like it when ppl
don't update, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. And luckily I had a holiday so I
worked on it for a while. ^_^ Any ways, so sorry again. Saw the new season
3 episodes. OMG, I could just burn Manny's face right now. And I liked the
first episode. It had this sweetness to it. ^_^ Can't wait to see the third
one. It's got Marco in it!!! ^_^ Geez, you know what else I found out? Well
I dunno if I should say it. But it has something to do with Manny...and her
old crush. hehehehe...but it's not really good news. Anyways on to the
story!!! Hope you enjoy!

Ryu picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and quietly ate it. Her mother had decided to make steamed fish for dinner, so here they were sitting on the floor.eating their dinner. They had a traditional Japanese dining room because Ryu's mother had wanted something to remind them of home so she had hired a bunch of constructors to rebuild the dining room.
"Ne.Ryu-chan. Tell me about the new friends you made today." Ryu's mother said quietly.
"I made.some."
"You should invite them sometime. Do you have a lot of homework to do?"
"Sort of. I have a project to do."
" Waiiii.a project already?"
"Hai."
"What is it supposed to be on?"
"Medical ethics."
"Oooooo..what is that?"
"Abortion," Ryu said simply and took out another big piece of fish. Their conversations have always been like this. Always avoiding, dodging around something. Afraid of being hurt.
" Mama, how was work today?"
"It was busy. I suppose that's what happens if you work as a receptionist at a doctor's office." Ryu' s
mother chuckled forcefully.
There was a long silence, and it wasn't very comfortable to say the least. Ryu glanced at her mother, and noticed that she seemed to be agitated about something. It went on like that for a few minutes. Ryu became comfortable with it and continued eating, musing to herself.
" Ryu." her mother said.
"Hai mama?"
" Y-your father called today."
So much for a comfortable dinner.
" He.did?"
Her mother nodded, " He wanted to see how you liked this new country so far."
Ryu didn't answer. "Ryu.your father really would like to know."
She looked down at her bowl, " I like it."
"Would you like to talk to him after dinner?" her mother asked hesitantly.
Ryu continued eating, looking like she wanted to choke herself with her chopsticks. "Ryu, please answer."
"No. I do not want to speak to him,"
"Ryu, he's your father."
"I don't want to talk to him anyways."
"Ryu-"
Ryu slammed her bowl and chopsticks on her table, "The reason why we left home was because he didn't accept me. I don't want to speak to him ever again."
"Ryu!" Ryu stormed out of the dining room quickly, with her mother chasing after her. Ryu climbed the
stairs and ran to her room. She slammed it just when her mother was about to come any closer. She leaned
against the door, breathing quickly.
"Ryu! Please, don't do this again. Ryu."her mother pleaded outside Ryu's door. Ryu slid to the floor and
tried to choke back the tears she felt coming up.

Ryu walked in to the Degrassi school quickly. She had woken up earlier than usual because she didn't want to hear her mother begging her to talk to her father. Students were milling about, studying for a quiz on first period, or playing games. She quickly walked up the stairs, annoying the students who were sitting there [ "She stepped on my book!"] She opened the doors and walked into the cool lobby (I guess it could be foyer too.dunno! ^^;;;).
She walked slower to her locker, thinking about the conversation she had with her mother the night before. Maybe she shouldn't have walked out on their dinner like that. But it had something to do with her father, so of course she had the right to walk out like that.
"Ryu! Ryu! Wait up!"
Ryu didn't hear anybody calling her name, so she continued walking until she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around and faced Marco. She felt herself stiffen, " Yes?"
"Yea.ummm..do you know what topic you want for our project yet? Cause I already decided one, but if you have any other suggestions." Ryu shook her head quickly.
"Oh okay then," Marco paused waiting for Ryu to ask her next question, but it looked like she wasn't going to ask anything soon, " Do you want to know what I chose?"
Ryu nodded quickly, " Well abortion. But Mr. Simpson will probably choose whether we get the pro and con."
Ryu nodded, and this uncomfortable silence came between them. Maybe cause Ryu kept looking directly at Marco's face and didn't hesitate to move her eyes. Marco felt uncomfortable under her glare.
"Ok.I guess I'll see you later!" Marco turned quickly away. Ryu stared at his retreating figure, walking down the hall. There was something different about him. But what?
~*~
Oooooo yeah, way longer. I should add more. But I feel kinda lazy right now..^^;;; So yeah hopefully I'll update sooner. Just chose abortion, cause I know about it more. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO CAUSE A CONTROVERSY, OK??!! I just did a research report on it, so I know a lot of facts about it. ^_^
