My Dream Of Being A Rapper

(Akane's pic)

Hello, everyone. I'm Akane and I'm 17 years old. A boring introduction right? Well, my story isn't. It's interesting.

I'm Japanese and I live in Japan. I always wanted to be a famous rapper. I started rapping since the age of 10 and you can say that I'm now a pro.

I did not have any idol or anything. I just saw one of the famous rappers rap and I was super interested. The problem is that my father wants me to be a doctor, but that's not what I want to be.

My dream is to be a rapper.

It's 7:00 in the morning. I am not ready for school, but that's how life is. Study. Study. Study.

I put on my headphones and listened to some music just like every morning.
"Be carefull, sweetheart," mom said as usual.

"I will. Bye."
I went outside and rode my bike to school. I was not the only girl who rides her bike to school.

I was the weirdo of the class. The person who keeps her headphones on her head listening to music. Most importantly, I had good grades. I was good in physics, math, and chemistry.

I don't really have friends. I'm just normal. I hangout with anyone I find interesting.

The bell rang and it was time to go to class. I opened the locker, took off my headphones to place them in the locker, carried my book, and went straight to class.

I sat in my usual seat, the last one beside the window in the corner. I was actually happy with my place. No one will bother looking back to see you and you can see the whole class. Plus, whenever I get bored, I just stare at the trees and the fields from the window.

"Hello, class," the teacher started, "today, we have a new student. Meet Jiyeon."

The girl entered the class. Her name was not Japanese at all. I just waited for her to introduce herself.

"Hi. I'm Jiyeon. I'm 19 and I'm korean. I hope I can be a good classmate and friend to everyone."

She was 19. Seriously? Well, age doesn't always matter in Japan. I'm just surprised because we are having a Korean classmate. I liked her hair. It was dark and tall. She looked pretty cool and I can tell because of the cap and the hoodie rapped around her waist.

It was lunchtime. I can't wait to be friends with Jiyeon. Fortunately, her locker was right beside mine.

"Hi," I started, "I'm Akane."

"Nice to meet you, Akane."

"Wanna hangout?"

"Yeah. Sure."

We both closed our lockers and headed to the cafeteria. I got a sandwich, a plate of salad, and an apple. Jiyeon just picked what I picked just as a start.

After a long time of looking for a table, we finally saw one at the end of the hall. We sat facing each other and started eating.

"So, do you know speaking Korean?" Jiyeon started.

"I do. A little. I started learning last year and I don't really know how to make a whole conversation. But I'm actually surprised because you are talking Japanese fluently."
