Short Story: Moving Away

Improved Essays
Tsukihiro never knew how it felt to have a complete family. Ever since he could remember it had always been he and his Mom, Ciara. According to his mom, Tsukihiro’s dad had died a while back, when he was only 5. The circumstances behind his father’s death were always hidden by his mom, not even one photo kept of him either. Tsukihiro had instinctively known that asking about his father was pretty much a taboo subject to his mom. But for a 16 year old teenager, trying to find where to belong in this world meant knowing where you came from. From his name, you could tell he was part Japanese, on his mother’s side at least. As for his dad, well, Tsukihiro could only guess that he was white? Hah.., but so was a good percentage of the whole world. …show more content…
Besides just going to school, coming home as fast as humanly possible was his favorite thing to do. I guess you could call Tsukihiro a loner? Well, even as a loner even HE had to have some friends. For starters, there was Micah, the know-it-all genius that had looks to boot. Tsukihiro always thought that when Micah was still in his mom’s womb, he must’ve got blessed by God or something. The two of them met when they started high school together at the same time. They were in the same classes, same lunch period, and left school at the same time. The only difference was that when Micah leaves school, he always gets hounded by all the pretty girls at school. Meanwhile our shuujinko (protagonist) gets the one pretty girl no one actually wants. That girl is Mika, a tsundere (hah) with good looks but an attitude so vicious people flee in terror. Yet, to Tsukihiro she is as vicious as a kitten. Both Micah and Tsukihiro know that Mika is just a Warhead (the candy),sour on the outside and sweet on the inside. Ever since Tsukihiro helped Mika pass her finals last semester, she became part of his circle and a devout worshipper of god-tier …show more content…
This story will have its ups and downs, its deaths and births. Everyone in this story has a role to play, even if it doesn’t become apparent at the time. I can see this story continuing for a loooooooooooong time, unless you know the author just explodes or something.

Author’s note: Hello everyone! Saren here :p . If you're reading this, first off, Thanks for taking the time to actually read this prologue that was supposed to be chapter 1 ( lolz).. As you may have noticed (definitely) I like to mix some Japanese terms into the story (sorry that I’m a weeb ) but I’ll put their english equivalents in brackets or parenthesis or something . I also do this to put my own little comments into the story as a way to interact with you guys??? (maybe??). Well that’s all for now! I’ll probably write the next chapter tomorrow? Pretty late rn tbh. Expect chapters to be around 1000~ words
