1 Prologue
"And from St. Jane Secondary School, we have Miss Riyula Ling-Er who is chosen for the program to Kanagawa…" the announcer continued reading from the list, where 10 lucky candidates would be chosen to partake in the ten student exchange program to Japan. The members of St. Jane applauded loudly, as the only candidate from their small private school was chosen among hundreds of others from government schools.
Riyula smiled modestly as she heard her name being mentioned. Although she was quite disappointed as her first and second choice were actually Tokyo and Hokkaido. She had ticked Kanagawa randomly as the third choice, but she was grateful she was chosen nevertheless.
The other nine 'winners', as she noticed, were all well known 'model students' like her. Smart, athletic and influential. Maybe influential was an exception to her. True, she was smart enough, straight A's student who managed to master the basic Japanese in one month, and athletic enough as in a state badminton and softball player who can play other sports as well. She was a talented musician. Majoring in piano and violin and minoring in guitar and saxophone. Good in arts too. Unfortunately, she was not exactly 'pretty' and was extremely afraid of guys (besides 'family'), especially the good-looking ones. She was sociable and nice, but only to girls. She was responsible, but not the type of born leaders. She was more of a nature follower, but somehow she always ended up being a leader, much of a stress to her. Riyula was also very forgetful, and had a soft heart. She was too thoughtful and cared so much for the need of others that she usually ended up hurting herself.
Later, Riyula was informed that her host family will be the household of Mr. Takeshi Akagi. Mr. Takeshi Akagi had a daughter her age and a son two years older. An average family. Riyula liked her host family immediately after reading their short biographies. Mr. and Mrs. Akagi, Takenori Akagi and Haruko Akagi. Her ideal host family. Suddenly, she was happy she was going to Kanagawa, although she would be living under the same roof as a 'guy'. Maybe this Takenori guy will help me overcome my fears toward guys, he sounds nice enough… she thought wistfully.
Okay, sorry there isn't anything about the cast of SD…YET. This opening chapter serves as an introduction of my original character, Riyula Ling-Er. She had freckles on her cheeks and a deep dimple accompanied by two rows of braced teeth. She was rather tall, 1.7m and well, kind of oversized (not the 36-24-38 type, for sure!)… in another shorter, simpler words… physically unattractive. (
Chapter One will be up soon…if I can finish everything else soon enough … :Þ
