Chapter 14

Me and my mom were contacting the University that I'm enrolling. I told her that I still wanted to go to a Japanese university and that I should do online school. I hate meeting new people so it was a win-win. My mom agreed to it and decided on calling her connections. I leave her be in the living room as I entered the kitchen. I looked at the cupboard and got some chips and started eating it. I sat on the counter, staring off to space. I thought of what happened yesterday, and immediately cringed of what I've done.

Right after he hugged me, I head butted his nose. Hard. His nose bled and I started screaming. We both needed an ice pack and we didn't talk to each other after that. Our mothers were confused and scolded us for being too 'clumsy'.

"It was his fault..." I mumbled.

"What did you say?" My mom asked as she entered the kitchen.

"Nothing, just eating chips." I said nervously.

She looked at me, head to toe and just shrugged. She took my chips and started eating it. I looked at her with disbelief and whined.

"Mom, that was mine!" I called out to her as she was walking out.

"We'll get more when we do grocery later!" She shouted from the living room.

I slumped and walked lazily towards the living room. I plopped myself on one of the couches and sinked in, comfortably. I took out my phone and started scrolling through my social media.

"Natsuna, I found a university." My mom started, still typing at her laptop.

I looked towards her, not moving from my comfortable position, with curiosity.

"Really? Which one?" I asked.

"Waseda University."

We were walking down the aisles of the grocery store, checking off the items from the list that we have. My mom was getting some apples as I waited for her. I heard someone shouting my name, making me snap my head to the direction of the voice. I saw Nam and so-called Javi walking towards me.

"Natsuna! How are you?" Nam asked, with a big smile.

"Hey, Nam. I'm okay, you?" I said feeling at ease that it was just the kid that I met a few days ago.

"I'm fine too-"

"Natsuna, I got the app- Oh, who's this short child?" My mom asked in Japanese, with a shocked face.

I laughed as she called him chibi-chan, a nickname that's used to call short people.

The two males looked at me weirdly, as I waved gesturing that it was nothing. As I calmed down, I explained to my mom who Nam was. She nodded and smiled.

"Well, glad to see you making friends! Chat with them for a bit and come find me." She said as she pushed the cart going to the other aisle.

I didn't want to talk to them but I just sighed in defeat as she waved goodbye and walked away. I looked at both of them and smiled awkwardly.

"Was that your mom?" Nam asked with pure curiosity.

"Yeah, we're grocery shopping. How about you guys?" I asked.

"We're getting some snacks. Oh, by the way, this is Javi! My friend-" He was cut off as a hand landed at the back of his head making him yelp in pain.

I cringed at the sight as Nam was rubbing the back of his head.

"I'm his senior, Javier Fernandez but you can call me Javi. Hola!" He said emphasizing the word 'senior', with a very thick accent.
