Would you give up your life just to save a person you love? Well, I would and I wouldn't mind. My name is Tohru Honda, and I guess you can say that I'm just an ordinary girl going through problems like any other 17 year old would. I live in Arizona with my mom Kyoko but now I am being sent to Washington in a little town called Forks to live with my dad for the time being. My dad is a sheriff so he could be a little bit over protective to me sometimes.

If you're asking, yes I do have divorced parents and I'm an only child. The only thing I took to remind me of Arizona and its hot climate was a small cactus plant that I grew. Washington's weather is mostly gloomy you know with all the clouds and small amounts of sunshine. Living in Forks would change my life forever and no, it's not some type of fairy tale either. I would never want to leave Forks ever again because of…

"So um… I already registered you in for the high school, Home of the Spartans they say," said Katsuya. Tohru shrugged her shoulders and followed her dad up the stairs to her new house.

"Yea I guess that's fine than, thanks," said Tohru.

"Your welcome, well here is your room. Oh and I hope you like the color purple for you sheets, I had a woman who works with me pick up some for your bed."

"Purple is an ok color, thanks." Katsuya nodded his head and left Tohru's room. Tohru threw her stuff down and sat down on the bed in deep thought.

The good thing about my dad is that he gives me some space a lot. I just can't stand people who just hover over you all the time. Well, this is where my story begins, actually tomorrow but for the time being, it starts now.

"Hey Tohru, come here and meet some old friends why don't you!" yelled Katsuya. Tohru carefully placed her cactus down and walked downstairs than outside to meet up with her father.

"Tohru, you remember Shican, right?" questioned Katsuya.

"Tohru, remember that one Santa Claus who you laughed at and yanked off my beard?" said Shican.

"Dad, I only met him when I was 4 years old," said Tohru.

"Oh that's right, well Shican don't you…," Katsuya started to chase the wheel chaired Shican around in the road, just to goof off like always.

"Hey Tohru you remember me?"

"Oh, hi Manabe, yes I do remember you. What are you doing here," smiled Tohru.

"Well I just came to deliver this truck to you with my uncle over there," smiled Manabe.

"Wow I like it a lot, thanks. Good thing I can drive this to school tomorrow and not walk," said Tohru as she looked at the 87' Ford. Manabe laughed and started to show Tohru where everything was inside the cab.

"Yes, well I will have the steak with fries please. Tohru, have you decided yet?"

"I'll just have a salad please, thanks," smiled Tohru.

The waitress wrote everything down and took up the two menus away from Katsuya and Tohru. Silence began to fill in the air but was soon broken by Katsuya.

"So, are you ready for school tomorrow?"

"I guess, but I think it won't be that bad since I'm starting in the middle of the school year," said Tohru as she took a sip of her spring water.

"Well that's good to hear. I think when you get out of school I would already be home or would be heading home." Tohru nodded her head and took another sip of the water.

Tohru's POV

My dad isn't really good at starting a conversation as you can tell. When he asked me about school tomorrow, well I lied. I am actually pretty nervous but I know I can handle the pain. Every night, my dad goes to this little restaurant for dinner, my guess is that he can't cook even if his life depended on it. Ugh, eating here would be nasty after a couple of days. Tomorrow I start school which will begin my adventure. There is so much to know what kind of people are there at my school.
