Things that I never knew happened, and when those things happen they're just things that you need to deal with, you never know what will happen to you or what will happen to those people that surround you. The only thing that you can think of is what life can give. One moment is all that we all need, maybe a second chance. And that chance will be the only thing that can bring anybody together.
My Story begins on the very first day of the year; in the new term of school and this all started in April. You may be asking what's is so important to me that properly have prepared for this day. Actually no, nothing can prepare you for something that might or might not happen. This is just the beginning of my life-changing from one point, okay, so let's.
It was at about 6:30 a.m. I Was preparing myself to go to school. I was a new student entering a new high school. And by chance, I was transferring from my old high school from America to this new one in Japan. The name of my new high school is Hokkaido Wakkanai High School.
Only hearing the name you know where my high school is from It's located in Hokkaido, Japan and the city of Wakkanai that is near to the capital of Soya.
I live by myself. You can say that sounds like a good thing, but it gets boring when you're living in a house where you're the only person that lives in it. Sometimes the only thing that is good would be always being next to the girl that you love. For me for the girl that I have a crush on ever since in the last month I've come back from America.
Her name is Ueno Aoko, she's the girl of my dreams since in elementary school. She was my neighbor next door. The first time I saw her was still living in Japan with my parents. Since then her beautiful smile and face are still on my mind. And her hair is so long that she looked like one of those princesses of those fairy tales. Back then most of the boys fought to just dreamed to be with her. It's been five years since the last time I ever had a conversation together. Actually, I've never had one. I just wanted to sound confident. Where are my parents you may be asking? well, they went back to America to work on an excavation in Arizona. Their both archaeologist and they left me In Japan to keep on my studies. So today is the moment that I'm going to confess my emotion towered her. I was shaken by the thought of just doing this. I started to practice my words of confession on a piece of paper. I was walking downtown saying hello to everyone that I knew. I gave my solicitations to the fish handler Mr. Ikeda Naoki. He's a great man. Also, my next-door neighbor.
Since I came to Hokkaido ever since my parents and I moved to Hakodate for five years when I was nine years old. He and his family has greeted us with kindness ever since. His son is my best friend ever since pre-school. His name is Hikaru. The last conversation we had was about three weeks ago online when I announce my indication of arrival . "hmm! maybe I'll ask him to come by and to have some dinner. And invite his family." smiling looking so joyful. I wonder, how things are with Mr. Ikeda? "Good morning Sugawara," Mr. Ikeda called me while waving. So I answered back. "Good morning for you as well." As being coy. "So, I heard that you are transferring to a new school? Is that right." Mr. Ikeda being nosy as ever. "Yap!" Only Having one word to say. I looked at the time on my watch and saw that I was going to be late for my very first day at my new school. I started to get alarmed. I was a bit panicky at the situation that was unfolding today. I just to leave the conversation I was having with Mr. Ikeda. So I left in a hurry and turning and walking around to say bye to Mr. Ikeda. I started babbling about how to say my feeling and how to find the properly say the words I want them to be a part core and my being. In the meantime, I've been practicing the turning of my phrases to a scale that I have to clime. I know very well that If I didn't get this correct I would be heartbroken. " Aoko, there's something that I won't convey to you. Ever since we were kids I had press emotions bottled up that they need to come out. Aoko, will... you... go out with me." Then out of a sudden, a bike came towards me. " Waa!~" A lady was having problems controlling her bicycle and asking me to move out of the way. " Whaaah"!!~ WATCH OUT KID!! Get out the way. So at that moment, I knew that this would be my last day in this world and that nothing would save me. I saw a light and heard a voice calling to me saying, "my boy, stay with me and let us enjoy those forgotten times." I knew that voice. Grandfather! Is that you?" Asking myself confusingly. "Yes, It is me. Come and join me in this sunset so both gaze of the wonder after-life." I answered back to him like I've been suddenly God; given a chance to be with a dear family that I love. " "I'll be there." I started smiling, laughing while running joyfully In the garden that they call Eden. But out of nowhere, a woman began to show up inside my head calling me. All that could understand was a bit of what she was saying. "Wake up, Wake up, " "somebody, call the ambulance." I heard her being worried about me. It was the same lady that ran me on her bicycle. I started to groan because of the pain of the grousing hit on my back. At the same time, I got up and at the same time, The lady jumped back believing that I came back to life just like a zombie coming out from the grave. The lady started to cry but also smiling. It seemed that I was in an ambulance and she was next to me too. Ha, ha! I almost, guffaw out loud. One little chuckle would actually hurt me even more. Well; It seems that my confession won't work if I die. so, I'd just sleep it off.
I woke-up hearing somebody's voice. First, I looked around to see my surroundings. That lady of the bike was sitting next to my bead. She was peeling an apple with a knife. I saw the time and It was 8:30 pm; " Ah, late. I miss an entire day of school, That can't be." I started to be a bit frustrated by this situation so I put the covers over my head. Just screaming for a moment. I forgot that the bike lady was watching me. I started to feel flustered in front of her. She began to laugh at me. I got mad so I asked why she was laughing at me. " nothing... you look cute with that face your showing." while holding her hands and mine together. My face turned red like a tomato. My hands started to sweat, my mind was telling me that I hoped that she doesn't notice? All at ones, my body started to heat up I didn't know what to do I couldn't control my self. Everything, every part of my being just wanted to touch this woman. " Hold on... what I'm I thinking, I love someone I can't betray my heart. My feelings are to Ueno. But, this woman is so luxurious. So different but why? I looked at her eyes with mine I got closer and closer and I wanted to kiss those lips. She pushes me aside and started to say, " what are you doing? What are you trying to do?" Still, holding our hands. I myself had no clue. Not a clue why; but, the only thing that was forcing me was me. She looks like a goddess that came down from the sky. And her face is like she's been in magazines. I told her. " I myself don't know why. But you look... ah ouch!" Unknown pain in my left leg. Suddenly, a knock at the door. It was the doctor, and she had a clipboard and papers. Her name was Akamine Rikku. She entered with a look of delight in her grin that seemed a sign of good gratification in her part but, also was a bit of an embarrassing scenario. She starts walking away in this embarrassing situation. I start telling her the distance from seeming the situation in what she might be thinking is going on. The only thing she starts to say is. " Sorry for the inconvenience. I-I didn't mean to trouble both of you." Her voice with the sound of a stutter and a giggle. I asked her to hold on for a bit and try to explain what is going on inside the room. And what exactly was going on with me and the lady? "Well." I started to say that I was eating a piece of apple and then I almost fell down from the bed. Then, she holds me with her arms around me to not fall down But, In my mind, I was telling myself that it wouldn't work. That she would not believe that at all. "Oh, that makes sense." Dow- founded I looked That I couldn't believe that something like this was working. "so, you do believe that nothing is going on right?" I asked her a bit scared face on me; if she was playing with us, Or not. but it seems that she's just Pretending that she Is Ignoring what she's seeing right now. Mabey it is for the best I would say.
"OK, Mr. Sugawara. It seems that you'll be staying the night. Your analyses have shown that you have a broken leg. And the X- rays have found damaged ligaments. You need to be in recovery for about Four mouths. There's nothing too worrying about, but you'll still have to go to school." Dr. Akamine was ensuring that everything would be ok. but I was still uneasy.
the doctor left saying. " Nurse if you may, can you help the patient to go to the recovery center"? Dr. Akamine ordered.
"Of course doctor." Politely the nurse answered. The nurse told me that in about an hour or two that she would come by and make a common check on me; and also to pick me up to go to the physic Center for Recovery. slowly she shut the door and left. And now that lady and I are together in one room; stuck in this situation. My face got so red. And hers as well. suddenly, I heard some noises it was coming from the lady of the bicycle.
"Mmmm; umm... should if possible, have an introduction on who we are?" she tells me with the acute and bashful look. And also sliding her hands up and down while having the tips of her fingers downward. Then I answer. "Sur- sure! That sounds okay with me. But is it fine?" While scratching my head. "So, who will be the first to say their names?" She tells me. all of her getting closer and closer. I'm moving aside because her presence was making me feel a bit pell-mell.
I tried to say some words. but nothing came out. The Only thing was jibberish.
Suddenly, she started to speak and she started to say. "First of all, I just want to say I'm very sorry that I ran you over with my bike. I didn't mean for this to happen. I hope you can forgive me." Having feelings of concern on her face. I told her there's nothing to be worrying about. That it was just an accident. What I could see that she was still thinking that she was at fault. So I told her my name. "Hello, let me introduce myself." so we can not have this weird moment. "My name is Sugawara Kou. Well, you Heard The doctor and the nurse says it. Anyway, and you are?" I asked her calmly.
"My name is Miss Ishikawa." On a voice that was smooth and gentle to the ear.
"I just moved from Tokyo. I worked there as a teacher and now I'm here as a new principle. Well, I don't know a lot about this town so...
... I'll be waiting for any of the time until I get settled in my new home." She conveys this to me.
" Oh, that's nice. I also I'm slightly new myself. I came back to Japan from America." I started explaining about my family and what they do as a job. "My Father and my mother met each other in University a long time ago. My mother is from America while my father is Japanese. So you could say I'm a half breed." It seemed that she was interested in my background. And how my family is. I also implement that there are both archaeologists. She seems really intrigued. We heard a knock on the door and it was the nurse from earlier saying that it was time for me to go to the physical Center.
I was having a good conversation with Miss Ishikawa that I completely forgot I'm about having' my physical checked. So I was feeling a bit down in the dumps.
I started to sigh for a bit and stand up until. "excuse me." The nurse shouts not to force my movements so harshly. "You'll damage your legs joints. It's better if you sit in this wheelchair for the meantime." Giving me some advice. So I told miss Ishikawa that it was nice to meet her and that our conversation was lovely. And I hoped that someday we would bump to each other in the near future. Then I turn around and smiled. And she said the same back to me. I did want to see her someday. I hoped the future is possible.
For some reason, something like this is the beginning of my story.
