Hello (Makoto Tachibana)

Chapter 1

" Excuse me Miss, you have reached your destination. All passengers must get off."

"Huh?" 

I open my eyes and yawn. I quickly stand up and grab my bag from the storage bin and walk off the plane. I has been a long plane ride I literally can't feel my legs. Tomorrow I will officially start school in Japan. According to the Canadian education system I'm in grade 10, a second year. But in Japan I'm a first year. Boo. No one will call me their senpai. That sucks.

Oh, and I forgot. My name is Ren, I'm 15 and I'm from Toronto. My parents sent me here to learn about my orgins, but they actually sent me here because I've been begging them for a year to come to Japan.

I grab the rest of my luggage and climb into a taxi. I give the taxi man a piece of paper which has my address on it. I lean back on the seat a close my eyes.

"Misu, misu"

"Huh?" I look around and wipe the saliva off my face.

I pay the driver and take my luggage out the trunk. The taxi zooms down the road and is quickly out of my sight. I look at the house infront of me. I look at all the identical houses around me. 

I manage to drag my luggae to the front door and kick it open. Of course I unlocked it first.

"Wow"

I expected to see a empty house, but instead there is already furniture in it. Maybe there is food in the fridge! I run into the kitchen and fling the fridge door open. Nothing. Shit, I'm hungry. It's like dinner time right now. I look out the window and the sun has gone down and the moon shines above.

I open an envelope my parents gave me. Inside there is $1000CAD, approximately ¥94099JPN.

"Tch. That's not enough and I don't want to get a job." I look at my phone. It's not that late.

I ran to the supermarket to buy food. I don't know where it is, but I followed an old lady who was also heading to the market. I look around and see some people walking around and having a good time.

As I wait in line, someone from behind bumps into me. The person infront turns around. It looks like I bumped into him too.

" Oww, what the heck?" I turn around and say. "I'm very sorry" I say to the person infront.

"It's okay" he flashes a cheeky grin and turns around.

I sit on the couch and eat instant noodles. It's like 10 something I'm not tired and I start school tomorrow. The worst thing is that I don't even know a lot of japanses. I can only speak and hear simples sentences. But the good thing is that I know how to order food.

I hear yelling from the house next door. I open my window and I see that their window is open. Hehehe. Time to spy on my neighbours. There is a group of people sitting in circle and talking. 4 guys and a girl. Aiyaa  .Hey! Thats the guy I saw at the supermarket, the guy with blonde hair. The one with black hair turns around and looks at me.

Blood spurts out of my nose and I fall backwards.

I quickly duck down. Dayum. I look out the window again, but this time I stay low. The blonde and the one with glasses are awfully close together... Maybe they are gay?! Aiya. No maybe they are just good friends. I shut the window and lay on the couch. I look at the piece of paper in my hands.

"Iwatobi High School" I sigh and I close my eyes.
