Thursday 7th May 1992
Today was weird. Toshiko didn't understand why, but they were leaving. Not just Osaka, but Japan. This was where Toshiko's friends were, she couldn't just up sticks and leave, but that is what her Father had announced they were doing. Her mother seemed chirper.
'Cheer up, Toshiko. This way, you won't have to have your arranged marriage!' Toshiko looked up at her mother, startled. Since when had she been planning her wedding? Her mother just winked at her, before putting more bags inside the car.
The drive to the airport was long, Toshiko was wanting to just stand up and walk a little. Her Father wouldn't like that, though. So she just stayed sat next to her Brother.
On the plane, Toshiko started fretting, she only knew bits of English, mostly from the family holidays in America. What if she didn't fit in?
England wasn't how Tosh had expected it to look. It had a very big city, called Manchester, where the family arrived. It wasn't as big as Osaka, but it was still pretty big. There was no sign of the cottages and villages that Tosh saw on the Television.
Just as Tosh thought she was settling in, the what if's came back, as if they were haunting her. Tosh decided that there were too many, what if's, she would just have to get on with her life and hope for the best, anyway, what's the worst that could happen?
Okay, I know it's short again, but that review inspired me to write. Please can I have some reviews as it's my Birthday on the 4th, or today, depending on when you read this!
Also, next chapter will have a surprise character in it, one you all know if you watch Doctor Who!
4th January- a day for calendars my friends ;-)
