Mom always believed that dad was going to make it big and change our lives for better, so I guess dreams don't come true after all.
"So dear, are you ready to go home?" Mrs. Yui asked, smiling at Kira.
"Uh-um, what do you mean, where would I go?" Kira asked confused.
"My house of course, you'll be living with me as from today dear" she said to Kira as she helped her out of the hospital bed, got her dressed and took her outside, walked her to a black SUV and drove off to her house.

I stayed in grandma's big fancy mission and lived like a princess, the maids always pamper me with massages and yummy food, I will go horse riding, play in the garden, watch TV and play video games, also had a huge picnic party and grandma always shower's me with different toys every birthday, we always talked and play together and life was going great till I turned 13.
On my 13th birthday, grandma gave me a really big book the size of a dictionary.
'What the…' Kira thought to herself as she sees the book, 'I wasn't expecting this at all, I was expecting something fancy like a new dress or an expensive Jewry or something else than a book, like seriously' she added as she stared at the book ticked off.
*Groans*
"Is something wrong my dear?" Mrs. Yui asked confused
"Grandma, is this some kind of a joke, did I do something wrong to get this, where is my real present?" Kira asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Mrs. Yui expression suddenly change and she became very upset.
"How can you be so ungrateful, that book is very valuable and expensive, it's one of a kind and you're looking at it as if it's some kind of trash, how childish of you. You are 13yrs old now, you are no longer a child, you are growing up to become a young lady, toys and dresses are for babies, I guess I spoiled you too much." she said has she stormed and walked out of the room.
"What have I done, I can't believe I said that to grandma" Kira said, looking very embarrassed.
Ever since then grandma has been acting strange towards me, even though I apologize for my behavior that night, she didn't even show any interest towards it at all. Later all the toys I had where taken away, my video games were taking from me, I wasn't able to go out freely anymore and no fancy picnic party, no birthday party either, it's like the atmosphere changed all of a sudden and so did everything else. Two years later, I turned 15 and I didn't bother about a party or any form of celebration because grandma hardly spoke to me after that incident, and she only come's in my room to give me books to read. I hardly see her around during the years because she always travels out on business trip's all the time. Now I have been given schedules, different time for music lessons, language lessons, ballad lessons, swimming lessons, horse riding and so much more, it's so exhausting. I guess this is why mom didn't want to stay and always wanted to run away.
when I eventually got to see grandma and talk to her, she acts completely,like two different person which reminds me so much of how mom use to behave. Like mother, like daughter.

One morning, grandma entered my room, woke me up and sat on the bed with a bright expression on her face. I was shocked, wondering something good must have happened or all this was a dream and I'm still asleep.
"Grandma is everything okay, is something wrong?" I asked feeling curious about what was going on.
"No, nothing's wrong my dear" she responded, smiling at Kira.
'Dear? It's been a while since she called me that, something is definitely going on' Kira thought as she stirs at her grandmother suspiciously.
"I just wanted to ask, if you would be interested in attending OSHIMO HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMY" she said excitedly.
"Oshi…what?" Kira said nervously.
"It's one of the most prestigious schools in Japan, I would love for you to go study there before moving to overseas for your college" Mrs. Yui said
*gasp* "Well... I would if you think it's the best school for me to study in, no problem, I would love to go" Kira responded, smiling at her grandmother.
