Riko's P.O.V

"Do you guys really need to do this?" I asked my parents for a hundred time.

For some months ago, my parents told me that there is this girl who's going to live with us. And my parents has also been talking about this girl and told me that no one wants to have her because she is too old. The foster home has been looking for a place for her a while now.

She is the same age as me, my parents also said that her parents are a close friends of them, and that she comes from a tough conditions, of course they can't tell me the details.

Out of blue, my parents told me that they are taking her in. But I don't fully agree to this, a random person is going to share a house with us. The only thing that I know about her is her name Watanabe You.

I don't know what she looks like, where she came from, not a single thing. Like she could have been a drug addict or something that her parents  just abandoned her on the street. She can be so many things.

"Yes, how many times do we have to tell you that, Riko? her parents are a close friends of ours." my mom said and I sighed. We are sitting on the couch waiting for dad and that girl to arrive.

"A stranger, a complete stranger is going to live here with us. We do not know her, hell she may be trouble!" I say and mom sigh. She looks irritated about my behavior. She clenched her teeth, so she won't yell at me.

"Not everyone in forster care is a troubled child, Riko. Calm down, this is a nice thing to do." Now she sounds upset. I shake my head.

The sound of the car outside makes my mom jump out of the couch, and run to the door.

"Come on Riko." She says, irritated. I shake my head again and step out of the couch.

The door opens and dad comes in with a bag over his shoulder. Behind him is Watanabe You, she steps in carefully. She looks around the room, curious as dad close the door.

"You, this is my wife Rinko and my daughter Riko." my mom reaches out her hand to her and the girl looks at her and then shakes her hand.

"Nice to meet you, You-chan." My mom said and Watanabe-san says the same to her. Her hand looks like it's trembling. She looks at me with a shy smile. Her blue eyes so clear, but scared.

Watanabe-san is very slim, but taller then me. She is wearing a white shirt and a pair of brown shorts.

Her hair is short and it makes me notice that she has small ears, they look adorable though.

Wait what? did I just think of that? Calm your gayness Riko.

Her blue eyes are drowning in tiredness, she seems so drained, that I can't believe that she can stand on her feet. Even though she looks like she is about to fall apart, she still looks pretty.

Okay I think I've read too many doujinshi's earlier. Stop Riko.

"Let me show you around and then I can guide you to your room." Dad says with a smile on his face. Watanabe-san just nods, she seems shy or simply just quite. Well I don't know.

<+++++++++>

"Dinner!" Mom yells from the kitchen. I sighed and turned off the T.V as I got out of the couch and step into the dining room. I sit down, and not long after dad and Watanabe-san comes in.

Dad sits next to mom and Watanabe-san takes the chair next to me. I turn to look at her and she gives me the same shy smile. We began eating in silence, but then.

"The food is really good, I can't remember...." Watanabe-san stops and we all turn at her. She looks down on her plate, I noticed her red cheeks and her sad blue eyes.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it." Mom says to take away the awkwardness.

"Do you like your room?" She asks.

"Yes, it looks like my old room." She tells. Her hands are shaking and her voice is trembling.

I shrug to myself and keep on eating.

We all sit here around this table deep in our own thoughts. My eyes drifted to the ashen-haired girl and she turns to look at me with an unsure smile and sparkling blue eyes. My heart started to tingle and so does my stomach. I look back down to my food and feel my cheeks warm.

Maybe I should stop reading too much.
