Chapter Eight: Beginning
"At sixteen, I left my life from Canada, to go to Japan. It's a beginning of a new chapter of my new life."
Mid-August 2004
A black mini-van drove to an airport, and found a spot to park, on a busy summer day, and one going to the stop the engine was turn off.
A teenage girl sixteen, with dark-brown hair, crystal-blue eyes with grey around the pupils, and a lightly fair skin, stares at the airport, thinking of what is soon to happen.
"Hey Jess…Jessica?"
She turns around to meet her eyes with brown eyes that belong to her older sister, Chantel. She's nineteen with black mid-back length hair, and a fair tone. Her older sister has volunteered to take her here to the airport and to drop her off.
"Are you ready to go?" she asked.
This question made Jess not sure if she was ready, but she is after months of planning her family did.
Today, Jess was to leave Canada to go to Japan for being accepted for a scholarship for the school of the arts. Her family although were amazed about it, they had support Jess to get prepared for this day. Her father, aunt, and uncle chip in some money for her enough to last a few months in Japan, meaning Jess had to go job hunting in Japan. Jess had things cover for once she arrives in Japan, as she met a pen-pal which she sent letters to her for about two years, and her pen-pal was kind enough to give her a guide.
"Chantel, you know if I wasn't ready, I would turn it down, and get someone else to have it and be where I am now," was all she replied.
She stares back of the airport thinking about her life in Japan, away from her family, school, and those who were friends and companions. She is starting a new life alone with all the support that her family gave her for the last time.
Chantel look at her watch seeing what time is and said to Jess, "You know if you stay longer, you'll miss your flight. Plus, I need to get Ryan to his friend's party."
"So, I guess it is good-bye then," Jess said, "But as I arrive in Japan and get settle, I'll send you guys a letter, cool?"
"Cool."
Jess hugs her older sister, as Chantel hugs her back.
"Tell Ryan and Danielle I said good-bye."
"Okay."
Jess parted from the hug, and opens the door to get out. She went around the back of the van, and her sister press a button to open the van, getting her backpack, wheeled upright suitcase, and duffle bag.
Closing the van's back door, Jess headed to the entrance of the airport, but stops to look at her older sister for the last time and waved at her farewell.
After a few hours flying in the air traveling from Canada to Japan, the plane arrives at it destination. It took a while, till the announcement told the passengers that they were allow getting off the flight and enjoying their time in Japan.
Jess managed to get inside and find her luggage, but the only thing that she needs to do is find her pen-pal. Her pen-pal informed her before Jess left Canada was that she'll be holding a sign saying Pen-Pal.
Walking past many people, she looked for a sign to find her pen-pal. And Jess manages to catch a sign saying what she was expecting to see.
With that she head to the sign, she then saw her pen-pal for the first time.
She was about Jess's height, black knee-length hair with blue tips, braided, brown eyes, and a fair skin tone. She wore a white tank-top under a sea-green sleeveless vest, black capris and fingerless gloves, and white and black running shoes.
"Jessica?" she asked.
"Yes," replied Jess, "And you're Nicole Kyanna."
"Yeah, and I am glad to meet you here, plus to give you a tour around Tokyo and help you out."
"Cool, and thanks."
"No problem, so, you want to drop your bags at the dormitory before we begin?"
"Sounds like a plan."
Nicole and Jess head out of the airport, and got a taxi to drive them to where Jess would stay for now.
"Holy shit, is this the school that I'm attending?!" Jess asked.
"Yes, this is the school that you're attending," replied Nicole.
They got drop off from the taxi cab, and head to the school in which Jess would attend. The school is called Emi Nagasaki's School of the Arts. For a school it was huge, from the main buildings, to the field where sports is play by students, tennis courts, green houses, and lastly two other buildings next to it thinking that it must be the dormitory area.
"Let's go and find your dorm room."
Nicole grabs Jess, as she took her to the dorm building to the right, guessing this must be where the girls stay.
They entered the room in which Jess would stay in the school year. It was painted beige, and there was floor carpet. A desk with a chair was on the right side of the room and next to it is a sliding door making it the closet. On the left side is a bed, with blankets folded neatly on a mattress.
"The washrooms and shower rooms are down the hall to your left, and the bulletin board will display information for events, programs and club, and other announcements."
"Cool."
"So, I'll leave you to unpack and after that I'll get you a quick tour." With that Nicole left Jess in her room to unpack her things.
Starting at first to unpack her clothes, Jess slide the doors open to see clothing hooks on a bar. Grabbing her wheeled upright suitcase, she opens it up to see her clothes, and started removing them from the bag, to hang them in the closet.
With that done, she made the bed that she'll be sleeping with. It was then, that her cell phone began to ring.
Quickly she went to her backpack and open the side pockets to reach in, grabbing her white and grey cell.
Flipping it open, she presses a number and then said, "Hello?"
"Hi, this is Karen Lu from Moonlight Star Café;" responded the other person on the other line "Is this Jessica Pacheco that I am talking to?"
"Yes."
"Okay, so you'll be having an interview tomorrow at 2:45pm, and hope that you will become a member of our team."
"Thank you, good-bye."
"Good-bye"
And she hung up.
A while back in Canada, Jess was surfing the net on the computer, to find a part-time job in Japan which then a job for a waitress is wanted in a café. So, she a filled an online application of it and send it expecting to get a call from them, and it work. If it didn't then she would go job hunting, by highlighting from newspaper looking for a part-time job.
Looking at the room that she'll be staying, Jess thought to do the rest after taking a tour with Nicole.
Grabbing her backpack, with her camera, wallet, and her keys to the room she went out of her room, locking the door behind her.
The night time came in Tokyo, as Jess stare out of the window seeing the dark-blue sky cover in white bright stars, before she return to find something to wear tomorrow.
The tour around Tokyo went well, as Jess manage to get some photos, and knowing the streets as well. They went to a restaurant, and Jess try out some teriyaki which to her was delicious. They made plans to do some shopping, for school supplies, and clothes, but after Jess goes to the interview.
Also when she came back she met a few girls in the dorms, Meilin Tiano, Roxanna Kylonody, and Rose Haidaya. To her they seem to be okay although she met them during a small conflict with Roxanna and Meilin, something about a couple ending their relationship.
Looking for something to wear for the interview and to hang out she pick out two tops; a lavender, crossover blouse with a V-neck collar, a red t-shirt with a V-neck collar as well, and a pair of black jeans.
Placing the tops and jeans on the desk, Jess notices on her laptop, in which she had bring here was an e-mail.
Clicking to the e-mail, it was from her older sister;
Hey Jess,
Hope you manage to get to Japan safely and know the place well, after a few hours, we started missing you so much. Anyway, I just want to say good luck to your new life in Japan…and get good grades, even though you always do.
E-mail back,
Chantel
Reading the e-mail, Jess laughs a bit and started typing a reply to Chantel.
Hey,
Got your e-mail, and beginning to adjust my life here. So, far I met my pen-pal, Nicole, and met some new people. Also I got some pictures that I'll send by mail when I get the time. E-mail you soon…
Jess
P.S. The grades thing, coming out of someone who got a C too much, HAHAHA.
Finishing the e-mail, Jess hit the ENTER button and the e-mail was sent.
Afterwards, Jess turn off the laptop, noticing the time as it was 11:54pm. Jess propped herself on the bed, stretching before getting into the blankets and dreaming off to dream-land.
"Come on, when you start?!" Nicole asked in excitement, hearing the news that Jess got the part-time job as a waitress in Moonlight Star Café. And the employer doing the questioning with Jess have mention to Jess that she was the first that she hired, as she turn down some people getting the job.
"I start next week, a week before school starts," replied Jess, "And when I went there; it turns out to be a café and restaurant, so I might have to not only teas and slice of cakes, but serving meals as well. However, I need to get black dress pants, and a belt-scarf; which can be blue, white or purple."
"Looks like it's a good thing why we are here now," said Nicole, as they were walking inside the mall, looking for a store to purchase things in need for school, Jess's job uniform, and clothes for Nicole as she follows the latest trends for school.
"First, we need to get some supplies for school," Jess said.
"And what are we waiting for let's go!" Nicole replied, taking Jess to a store in which they sell some supplies."
It was around 4:27pm, when Jess and Nicole done their shopping and decide to have an early dinner.
Heading to the food court, Jess and Nicole went to get something to eat.
Nicole ordered sushi, and Root Beer (soda), and for Jess, tuna sandwich, small bag of chips, and Ice Tea.
They found a place to sit, and enjoy the yummy meal as they spent a few hours in the mall finishing their list of thing needed.
"Jess, you'll love the school that you're attending to," Nicole said starting a conversation, "The best part is the teachers, social events, and the guys. They are so HOT!"
"Wow, but I might like the first two that you said," Jess replied.
"Why not, guys?"
"Okay, one, I'm tomboyish often and I like to play sports even if it means there is minor violence. Secondly, in Canada, I have made friends with a few guys, and lastly I have only dated one guy since I became a teenager. And in the end we just became friends."
"Wow…" Nicole said, as she giggles at what Jess said.
"It's true that it's funny," Jess said, with a smirk on her face, before taking another bite of her tuna sandwich.
"But, who knows… You might be lucky to find your future boyfriend, or love here in Japan."
"You say it like the horoscopes in the magazines I read, and so far it didn't much help."
"Well, you may never know."
"True."
"After we are done eating, you want to check a few more stores before we leave?" asked Nicole.
"Sure."
The Night before First Day of School
Jess was drying her head with a towel, after taking a shower in the dorms shower and bathrooms. She was in her pajamas; grey tank-top, with dark-blue pants and a matching unbuttoned sweater.
Returning to her room, she checks to see if everything is done and prepared for her first day of school.
From her backpack to what she is wearing for school, eve though she was ready for two whole weeks.
The two weeks went by so fast, for Jess had an opportunity to have some summer fun in Japan.
Nicole took her to the beach, malls, and an amusement park to enjoy. Plus Jess had a chance to work in the café, and it seemed to be good, from the customers to the pay checks.
She felt relax and comfortable in Japan, like in Canada, but felt a bit homesick of not being able to see her family soon.
Checking the time, she put the alarm of her clock at 6:45am, for it was the time to wake her up, and heading to her bed, after turning off the lights.
Pulling the covers up, she hopped in; placing the blanket on her, finding a good position to sleep Jess closes her eyes waiting for the deep slumber to take her over.
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
Her crystal-blue eyes opened up, as Jess got off the bed and turn off the alarm.
Taking a quick stretch, Jess began her first day of school by going to the closet to get the outfit she will be wearing, after removing her pajamas.
She headed to the bathroom, with her hairbrush, tooth-paste, tooth brush, and washcloth. She looked at the mirror to see herself in the outfit she had chosen for this day.
She wore a white t-shirt with a dark-blue sleeveless vest with a hood, and black jean shorts.
After brushing her teeth, washing her face and brushing her hair, she head back to her dorm to get her backpack, which had her school supplies and forms to hand in to the office, and went out the door of her room.
Jess walk down the hallways seeing the other girls out and in of their dorms, getting ready for the first day as well.
"Hey Jess wait up," said a female voice.
Jess turns around to see a girl around 5'3" tall, with black hair, dark-blue eyes, and a brown skin tone, which Jess know it was Rose Haidaya.
She simply wore a pink mini-skirt, black tube-top, underneath a jean jacket, and carrying a shoulder bag.
"Since you're new at school, you want me to give you a quick tour around the school?" asked Rose.
"No problem," Jess replied, "In fact, I am going to the office to give my forms and get my time-table. Can you lead me to the office?"
"Cool."
Jess stare at her time-table that the office given to her, sitting on her chair, in front of her desk in Math class. She got the desk close to the window, so she can be able to see the view when she felt bored, or done her school work.
The time-table they have given her was a semester period, meaning there are two in the school year and she can study four subjects each. And for her first semester she has:
Period 1: Math
Period 2: Accounting
Lunch
Period 3: Home Economics
Period 4: English
Then after that is done her semester 2 subjects are:
Period 1: Writers Craft
Period 2: Art
Lunch:
Period 3: Art
Period 4: Gym
The reason for her to have two Art classes is because it was part of the scholarship to have at least two courses involving the arts until graduation.
All she knows is that she'll be having Accounting and Writer's Craft with Rose, English with Roxanna, and Nicole is with her for one of her Art classes, and Home Economics.
Jess was broke out of her thoughts as the bell rings for school to begin. She saw her new classmates hurried to their desks making sure their in time before the teacher arrives.
After a few minutes, a teacher came in, male who looks like in their 30's, placing his brief case on his desk, before he spoke clearly to the class.
"Welcome back to those who were here last year and those new here hope you enjoy your experience in this school," he spoke, "Now we have a new student who have came overseas from Canada to attend to this school, so, Jessica Pacheco please stand up."
And Jess stood up letting everyone see her.
"Hello."
"Now Jessica can you give us a brief explanation about yourself."
"Okay, as you all see I am from Canada. My favourite subject is Visual Arts, and some hobbies include playing sports, drawing, and reading." With that she took her seat, as the teacher then spoke again.
"I am Mr. Mikage, and I'll be your teacher for Math for this semester. Now all of you get work books open as we begin Trigonometry."
'Looks like, a good start for my first day here,' Jess thought.
That's done. Hope you enjoy reading that long chapter and stay tune on Fanfiction for an update on Our Bloody Memories.
