Hi everyone, I just want to update another chapter today because today will be the last free day of the month. Next week, I have to study my butt off for the exams! TT Anyways, for ths chapter I decided to use Kouichi as the narrator and tell the story from his point of view, who knows I might get Zoe or Kouji to be the narrator next time.
Hi, I'm Kouichi, and I'll be your narrator for this chapter of "TOY". Seriously, I don't know what t.o.y.
stands for, you might want to ask the creator of this story. Anyways, let's start this by introducing myself; I'm
Kouichi, and I'm fourteen years old. Seven years ago after my mother's death, I decided to go to New York. I t
was really my Dad's decision anyways. He said that I'm a clever boy, so I should deserve a better education.
While my brother, Kouji just stayed in Japan. He said that he hated New York, but honestly, He was just afraid
of taking airplanes. He puked everytime he went on there.
Today after I got off the airplane, I felt happy to be in Japan again. I missed my family, and I can't wait
to see Zoe again. I wondered how she'd look like seven years after my departure, but I was certain that she'd be as beautiful as ever. The odd thing was, when I got back home that day, my stepmother Kosaka couldn't stop kissing and hugging me. And the maids even decided to perform a dance for me. Oh yeah, I saw Kouji afterward when he came home from school. He had a bruise on his cheek, and he was holding onto a bag of ice to place it on his bruise.
"Kouji, what happened?" I asked, "Did you get into another fight again?"
Actually, he said nothing. All he did was mumbling to himself about cursing this girl. I kind of laughed at the thought of my tough brother being beat up by a girl. I wondered what kind of person would that girl be.
That night at dinner, my Dad asked me about my life in New York.
"Oh, it was great Dad!" I answered politely, "Kosaka, you should go there sometimes. New York has the best shopping malls ever!"
"Oh, in that case, I better order a flight ticket tonight!" Kosaka replied enthusiastically.
I knew I have to keep Kosaka away from my Dad for a little while one of these days. Trust me, a woman like Kosaka will be pretty annoying to be with. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Kosaka. She's really nice. But Dad never got his work done when she was around him.
"So Kouichi," Dad said suddenly, "Did you meet Zoe yet?"
"No, I didn't." I answered, "But I'm going to. Dad, I want to attend school in Japan from now on. Is that okay with you?"
"Oh, that'll be wonderful Kouichi!" You can be in the same class as Kouji!" Kosaka suggested.
Kouji almost choked at what Kosaka just said. Well, I was thinking about going to the same school as Zoe, but I can give if a try.
"Um, sure." I simply answered after I took a bite of the chicken.
The next day, I wore the school uniform and got onto the Limo. I told Walter that I don't want to go to school with a Limo because it'll give the students in my new school a weird impression of me. But Walter insisted that a high-classed gentleman should show his dignity by riding a Limo. I didn't want to argue with him anymore so I just got on. But I told him that I'll be taking a bus after school so he doesn't have to drive a Limo to my school again to embarrass me.
Boy, now I know why my Dad and Kosaka have to go and see the principal almost twice every week. Kouji was a real troublemaker. Today, he on purposely stepped on a puddle of mud to walk into the classroom to get the teacher go wild. And he was throwing paper balls to him all the way from the very end of the room where his desk was.
The sad thing about today was, I didn't get to see Zoe. I mean, I knew she was in the same class as me because a girl named Misha said something about Zoe Orimoto was sick today. But I guess that means I'll see her very soon and I can be in the same class as her again just like the days back in kindergarden seven years ago. I sure do miss her, and this time, I won't be afraid to make my confession to her and tell her how I patiently waited seven years for her love.
Well, that's all for this chapter. I'm sorry that this chapter was so short. But I'll write more next time. Sayonara! And don't forget to review it!
