"You better get those groceries and not that disgusting junk food, why are you always so slow!?" Mom nagged on the phone while I was trying to put look for salad. "Well Ms. Hattori arrived, bye."

I sighed trying to retrieve the food or she'll yell at me in front of Ms. Hattori. Which she's exceedingly frank for a woman her age, her personality is like a grandma born in the 1600's.

Well, one chip bag wouldn't hurt, right? I snatched a bag of potatoe chips and trotted to the register. Thankfully mom sent me with money and the beef was on sale so that's money for the chips.

After paying I strut to the park and plopped down on the grass admring the sky. Since its the summer time people are out and about while I'm sitting in a park waiting for love.

Although their is Ms. Hattories son, Rin he likes me, but not my type. My parents are expecting me to marry him after I conclude college which is a big no for me. Who wants to get married to some boy like Rin?

Facts about Rin he likes video games like violent ones, good looking face sometimes, once he gets a haircut his head looks like an onion top, and Rin is surprisingly short.

He gives off a tall vibe, unfortunately he's 5'4" and I'm 5'1" so that's, great. Following, I ate up all the chips to get rid of the evidence so mom won't beat my butt. I return to my lame apartment which is just 3 stories high.

"Oh, look who decided to join us, Kokoro." As soon as Rin heard he turned his head to look me up and down and gave a chuckle.

Ms. Hattori took a sip of her green tea observing how mom and I interact. She's probably telling my mom to be more strict with me, like a birds eye. Atleast she's not a helicopter mom. Rin smirked helping me put away the groceries, it's like he lives here or something.

"Yeah, Shiko is going to be taking care of Koko for a while since she can't find a summer job." Mom approached the topic to Ms. Hattori

"Dosen't she live in California, with Ovin and Calvin?"

I was startled since I haven't seen my Shiko since her wedding which was 2015. It will be awkward, after all I only seen pictures of Calvin on my phone. Once I arrive I'm going to ask why he has an english name atleast represent the japanese culture.

"When am I going to be leaving?" I queried as mom said July 21 that's four days time. Rin's smile dissappeard he won't see me till August so that sucks for him. Sooner or later the Hattori's left and I sat in my room on my phone.

"How will I live in California for two months? I don't even know English, oh God this will be embarrassing. I'll just be saying two or three word sentences. I knew I should have taken English classes this year."

Suddenly mom came in my room and showed me my California trip permit that I need to take on the plane. From how she explained it, this sounds nerve-wracking.

The next day arrived I was at my desk sitting with my friend Doi we were talking about our Summer Vacations. She has to study since her parents want to register her at Tohoku University. "I'm going to visit Shiko in California." I assured as Doi was shocked she's always wanted to go to the states.

When I got out of my last class I seen Rin talking to a girl, she looked like Fujita Asami. She sat next to me on the first day of school at lunch, since when does Rin talk to girls like her? She's a brat.
