I remembered my father used to get so mad at me when I came home late from hanging out with my older cousins back when we lived in California. He would always tell me come home before it gets dark out but the fun didn't start until then. I would try my best each time to sneak into the house unknowingly.

But most of the time he caught me.

And when he did he would be so upset that he would yell at me in Spanish. My mom would stand there unknowingly not knowing what he was saying but it was obvious what he was so upset about.

And the situation that I'm in now reminded me just of that.

I was currently getting yelled at by a corner store owner in Japanese who so happened to be my new boss. I needed the money especially since my mom only gave Sean and I two hundred dollars before we got on the plane and sent us here.

My job was to stock the store and mark the prices.

Thankfully the owner had a young daughter who was like ten that knew English.

"He's saying to mark the prices correctly on the items because someone was like able to buy some items for 10 dollars when the actual price was 20 dollars" the young daughter said to me.

I sighed running my hands through my hair "I'm sorry Mr.Suzuki I will fix it" I said to the store owner.

The daughter translated for me to her father.

I noticed he was still upset by his tone of voice and facial expressions as he spoke to his daughter but it soften a bit.

"He said no more mistakes and asked me to help you mark the prices correctly " she said continuing to translate.

I nodded "no more mistakes Mr.Suzuki I promise."

It was later after my shift had just ended which was about 10 at night Mr.Suzuki was locking up the store and I was looking through my bag for my phone.

"Gabriela my father asked did you need a ride home?" Suzy called me to me as she stood beside her father.

John's place was only ten minutes from the store so I'll be fine plus I had a taser and a switch blade in my purse just in case.

I gave them both a small smile but shook my head "no thank you I will be ok my home is close by but thank your father for me " I told them.

Suzy nodded and started speaking to her dad. After a minute Mr.Suzuki nodded and gave me a wave goodbye.

I started on my walk home crossing the streets of Tokyo. Sean got a job too but he was working for Han in his garage. He wasn't racing quite yet. Han had to teach him but he wanted him to work for it first.
