When I woke up the next morning, dad had already left for a meeting. My mom asked if I wanted breakfast. I nodded. She said she would order room service. While getting ready for the day, I tried to think of how to ask about yesterday. When she hung up the phone, I decided to just go for it.
"Mom, how did dad know the music studio owner? How did he know which music studio I was even in? What's the deal with this so called special school?"
My mom's eyes widened and she gave a soft, "Wow!" Then she took a deep breath and said, "Ok, I guess the easiest way to start is with the school. It's called UA High. That's where your father and I met."
"Wait, dad was born in the United States. I don't remember Papa and Nana ever talking about living here in Japan."
Mom smiled. "Your father's parents never did live here. They sent your dad when they realized he needed a... special kind of education, training."
"Ugh!" I yelled and flopped back on the bed. "What is all this talk about a 'special' school?! What makes it so special?"
Mom started pacing back and forth in the room. "Well, it's for kids who aren't like most people. They have talents or abilities that makes them unique."
I snorted and sat up. "Yeah, like what? All I'm good at is being a klutz."
Mom stopped pacing and looked at me. Is she crying?
Mom walked to me, knelt down, and took my hands. "Oh honey. Your father told me what you said last night. I am so sorry you feel that way. We should have explained everything a long time ago, but we wanted you to have as normal a childhood as possible. We didn't want you to carry the weight of the world on your shoulder like we did as kids. So after you were born we moved to the United States and tried to pretend to be like everyone else. But we're not, and neither are you."
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Our breakfast is here. That's good. I need to think about what mom said. We both ate quietly. When we were done and the trays had been cleared, I decided to start again. I need to know what my parents have been hiding from me.
