Summer holidays were the best things young children could wait for throughout the school year. Today was the end of the summer holidays and many children were making the best of it, especially this young lady. "Mommy, could we go to that restaurant?" a young, blond girl of 8 years said. "Anything for my little Izumi!" the mother said. Izumi skipped happily beside her mother while they walked to the Chinese restaurant. A soft ringing noise sounded when Izumi's mother opened the narrow door. They found a table for two and a young Asian woman appeared at their table right away. "Konnichiwa, ni hao! I'm Xiu Mei. I'll be your waitress for the day! Do you want any drinks or do you want to order right away?" the Asian woman politely and kindly asked. Izumi giggled, for what Xiu Mei said rhymed. "We'll take our orders right away. My little Izumi always wants the same thing whenever she comes to Chinese restaurants." Izumi's mother explained. They made their order and, in short time, the food was already sitting at their table. Izumi was starved, so she wolfed down her noodles and chicken balls. "Now, now. It's not good for you to eat so fast. Why don't you ask for some fortune cookies while I finish my food." Izumi's mother suggested. Izumi nodded and skipped off to the counter. "May I have some fortune cookies, onegai?" Izumi politely asked the cashier, an old Asian man who looked quite happy with his job. "Why, of course!" he chirped in his hoarse voice. She scooped up a few fortune cookies in his hand and dumped them in a clear, plastic bag. He handed Izumi the clear bag of fotune cookies. "There you go, young lady!" the old man said happily. "Arigatou gozaimasou" Izumi bowed and ran back to her mother. While on the way to her mother, Izumi wasn't paying attention to her surroundings and collided with a young boy about her age. They fell on top of eachother. "Get off me." an icy cold voice commanded. "Gomen nasai!" Izumi apologized. She got up and offered her hand to the young boy, but he just shoved it out of the way and got up himself. "I'm able to get up by myself." he said. His voice sent shivers down Izumi's back. His voice was so cold, it seemed that not even the burning hot summer weather could melt it! "Couldn't you be more polite?" Izumi muttered. The cold-voiced boy just glared at her and walked off towards the other end of the restaurant. "Way to ruin my summer!" Izumi muttered under her breath.
"Izumi, are you lright? I saw you collide with that boy, over there." Izumi's mother asked Izumi worriedly. "Yes, but that boy's impolite... and he sounds so emotionless when he speaks. His voice makes me shiver." Izumi complained. "Now, now, it's impolite to speak behind someone else's back." Izumi's mother said. Izumi just nodded and looked in the direction that the impolite boy walked towards. He sat with his father. Izumi saw him looking at her, with those impenetrable blue eyes. He never seemed to show emotion. This was creeping Izumi out, so she jerked her head to face the fortune cookies. 'I might as well start eating these.' Izumi thought. She slipped out one of the cookies from the plastic bag and broke it in half. She took out the fortune and read it aloud. "Love is in your future." she read. "Hmmm... seems like you're destined to be with a boy!" Izumi's mother teased. "Stop joking, mommy! Anyway, this fortune's rubbish!" Izumi said crossly. "You just can't face the truth!" Izumi's mother joked. Izumi chose to ignore these comments and eat her delicious fortune cookie.
When Izumi and her mother returned home, they sat down and watched tv. Izumi's mother remembered something important. "Honey, remember that you have school tomorrow. It'll be your first day in grade 3 at your NEW school." she informed Izumi. Izumi just nodded and went upstairs to pack. 'I must make a good first impression, so they don't think I'm a freak.' Izumi thought while she was ascending the stairs. She entered her room and began packing her pencil case and other school supplies. She prepared her outfit for tomorrow, which was a white t-shirt, a purple vest, purple short and a purple visor. Once she was sure she completed her preparation, she lay down on her bed and took out her fortune. "Love is in your future." she read aloud, again. "It's rubbish!" she convinced herself and dozed off into Slumberland. Yet, little did she know that that fortune was not rubbish at all, but it was her actual future.
