Chapter 2: A New Beginning
Miaka placed the picture frame back down on her dresser.
"I hope I can see him again and return his hankerchief," she said to herself.
Hi there. My name is Miaka Kuroda. I am fifteen years old and I am starting high school. I live in Saitama with my mother, my father, my older sister Saeko,and my older brother Ken. Oh! And my cat Yuri, I can't forget her. My family owns a dancing school and many members of my family are talented dancers. This is what my family is famous for.
The door to her room opened. A man peaked his head in.
"Are done packing yet?" He asked her.
"Hey Ken," she said. She stuffed the rest of her clothes into her suitcases.
"Yeah... now I'm done," said Miaka.
"Come on, I'm driving you to Tokyo," said Ken.
He shut the door behind him as he left.
"Coming," she grabbed her suitcases and bags.
"Wait for me, Nii-san," said Miaka. She followed him to the car.
That's my brother Ken, he's twenty-one years old; six years older than me. He's a really sweet guy and he can be really forgetful.
"Here..." he grabbed her suitcases and bags and placed them in the trunk.
"... you can get in the car," he said to Miaka.
"Miaka!" a girl called out her name from behind her. Miaka turned around.
"Guys!," she was surprised that her friends were here.
"What are you all doing here?" she asked.
"To see you off," one of her friends said.
"Why else?" said another friend.
"Yeah!" said all of Miaka's friends.
"You guys... thank you. I'll miss all of you," she said to them.
"So, are you really going to Tokyo?" asked her friend.
"Yeah," said Miaka.
"Just for the elite high school," said one of Miaka's friends.
"Tokuda High School Academy, right?" said another one of her friend.
"Right,"
"But aren't you going to miss Saitama, your home?" asked a friend.
"Of course! And all of you!" Miaka exclaimed. She opened the car door.
"Miaka!" A woman was running towards her with a black cat in her arms.
"Nee-san!" said Miaka.
"Oh! Yuri! I can't believe I forgot her," said Miaka. The woman handed the cat to her.
"Yuri," she petted her cat.
"You couldn't forget Yuri," said her older sister.
"Thanks Saeko," said Miaka. Saeko hugged Miaka.
This is my older sister Saeko, older than me by nine years. She's is a dancer teacher and very famous for her dancing. And she's very beautiful.
"Take care now," said Saeko.
"I will," said Miaka. She walked to the car and placed Yuri into her cage.
"Okay. Well, I'm off now," said Miaka.
"Bye!" said all of her friends. Miaka got into the car.
"Ready to go?" Ken asked Miaka.
"Yeah," said Miaka. Ken started the car and began to drive off, Miaka turned around and waved back to her friends.
"Bye," she said to the people she was leaving behind.
Ken drove Miaka from Saitama to Tokyo. They arrived at the apartment in a couple of hours.
"Well, here we are," said Ken as he parked the car.
"Wow! I'm actually going to live in Tokyo," she couldn't believe her eyes.
"You and Yuri," said Ken.
"Yes. I can't wait to see my new school," said Miaka.
"Be careful," said Ken.
"Huh?" Miaka cocked her head to the right with a confused look.
"You're gonna be all by yourself," said Ken.
"I know," said Miaka. "I'll be all right."
"Let's go take a look," said Ken.
"Oh, okay," said Miaka. They got out of the car and took her stuff out of the trunk.
"Ugh," she picked up her bag and pulled a suitcase up onto the sidewalk.
"Let's go," said Ken. They entered the apartment building and took the elevator to the floor her apartment was at.
"Right here. Apartment 294," said Miaka. She took out her key and opened the door to her apartment.
"Wow," said Miaka.
"It's really nice," said Ken.
"Yes," said Miaka. She put her bags down and Yuri.
"The view of Tokyo Tower is very nice," said Ken.
"Really?" asked Miaka. She walked over to Ken and looked out the window.
"It's so pretty," said Miaka.
"Will you be okay?" asked Ken.
"Huh? said Miaka.
"Here by yourself," said Ken.
"Yes," she smiled.
"Okay, I've gotta get back home as soon as possible," said Ken.
"Okay," said Miaka.
"Okay, bye," said Ken and he hugged Miaka.
"Bye," said Miaka.
Ken left and closed the door behind him. She walked to the window and looked at Ken while he drove off.
"Yuri," she picked Yuri up. "Let's go get something to eat."
She reached into her bag and pulled out a packed lunch and cat food.
"Here you go," she put the cat food on a plate, then placed it on the floor and put Yuri down in front of her food.
"Let's eat," said Miaka and then they both eat their lunches.
After a couple of hours, Miaka started putting her stuff away.
"Gosh, it's really tiring," she took in deep breathes.
Yuri meowed.
"I'm done," Miaka sighed.
"It's getting really late. Tomorrow's the first day of school. Tokuda High School. And hopefully, I'll make lots of new friends. Let's go to bed, Yuri," she picked up Yuri and placed her on her bed, she changed into pajamas and tucked herself in bed.
"Good-night," said Miaka.
Yuri meowed softly.
