Chapter Three

New Boy

"Come on Ichigo! We have got to go!" Ichigo grabbed her bag and shoved the three notes in her pocket. I'll read it on the plane. She walked downstairs. Her parents honked the horn of the car. She walked outside and looked up at the house. She sighed. All of the memories this place held was unbearable. It wouldn't be available in five years. She climbed into the car when her parents honked the horn again impatiently.

As she sat in the plane she had forgotten Kishu's note. She fell asleep and before she knew it, she was in another country.

People at the hotel brought in all of there luggage and put it in there room. When they reached the room, Ichigo gawked at it in disbelief. It was amazingly beautiful. She jumped onto the bed and heard an odd noise. Oh yeah! The note. She reached into her pocket and then realized she couldn't read it in front of her parents.

"I'm going to explore the hotel. I'll be back up at seven." She said and ran to the elevator. She pushed the down button knowing that hey were on the top floor. When the doors opened she found herself staring at an American boy about her age.

"Hello there!" He said. Ichigo suddenly forgot her English.

"Hi." she said in Japanese. He stared at her dumbfounded. "I'm sorry, I forgot, it's very different in this country. Hi!" She said awkwardly.

"My name is Ryan. What's yours?"

"Ichigo." Ryan looked at her funny. She laughed. "Umm sorry I have only one nickname and only one person calls me that." she said. Reaching in her pocket.

"Oh sorry, what's that?" Kitten is my nickname. Given to me by someone who cares.

"Oh it's nothing. It's kind of silly anyway." He rubbed the back of his head.

"Welcome to America then!" he said.

"You know you are very pretty." Ichigo squeezed her eyes shut and tears escaped.

"I'm really sorry but my love life is a big mess right now. It's not your fault." she ran into the elevator and started crying. Ryan looked at her with confusion and stopped the elevator with his foot and walked in.

"Listen, Ichigo, right? I'm really sorry I wasn't trying to hit on you, it was simply a compliment. I'm sure that you get that a lot." he said awkwardly.

"You don't understand! He left! I left." she cried harder.

"I don't want to be anymore than a friend." Ryan said. He hugged her tight.

"Get away please, you remind me too much of him." She got up and walked out of the opened door. Ryan stood in confusion. She walked into the lobby and took out the note. She held it to her heart. She opened the letter and read his note. She cried even harder.

"Kishu." she said in a low voice. No one heard her.

When she finally moved into the house she still visited Ryan. They had become friends. He went to her school too.

"Happy birthday Ichigo!" Ryan said handing her a present. She was now fifteen. She opened it to find a smaller box in it. She opened the smaller box and there was ring in it. It had a Gold band and a ruby with diamond surrounding it.

"It's gorgeous!" she slipped the ring on her finger.

"Yes but that's only half, Ichigo, will you…. be...my...girlfriend?"
