Chapter 1-Kenji



Kenji’s pov


"I'm coming now, give me 5 minutes"

I've been in London since I started college 2 years ago.

My parents, they never asked me what I really wanted, they don't really know me.


They never cared, and they never will.

My family, half Japanese - half British, my sister Kika is the only person in the house who understands me.

She's always here for me, she's a designer, she always makes my clothes and they're really my style

Oh gosh

I love her a lot


"Ken, I already told you, leave the books and those cartoons alone," my mother said in frustration

Manga, mom

But of course she doesn't care.

"I understand, but I still have an hour before classes start, so don't worry," I said in a more subdued tone.

My university

Law school

I always hated the lawyer

And I will always hate this


My father always told me, "When you graduate from high school, I will enroll you in law school, just like I was, just like I am, a lawyer, for a better future."


What a great future

It's nothing great being a lower

I hate this type of people

I hate politics

And I will always hate them


"Do you remember what we discussed yesterday?" my father said as if I were his client.


Maybe I am


"Yes dad, I remember perfectly, you told me many times, it's related to your company"


"Tomorrow, after you finish class, you'll come with me and I'll introduce you to some people, and you can't refuse me, do you understand, Ken?"


Wonderful, that's what I was missing.


My father's favorite people

I smiled, but I'm so frustrated


"You know I'll never turn you down, Dad, don't worry, I'll be there."

This is my son," said my dad as if i had won the lottery.


I hate this thing. I hate everything related to my father's reputation.

I will never be happy in this house.

Not when my parents are here.

Oh yes Keito, my fucking little brother

i love him but hes such an idiot and hes so annoying

But he's my brother

And i love having him around

"Keito, I told you to leave that thing at home, it's dangerous, you could fall," said mom , looking at him with concern.

"Calm down mom, you know me, I haven't fallen and I never will," Keito said proudly.

I laughed

"That's why you have those scratches on your legs, right? And you said you never fell,"i said ,looking at him just to annoy him.


"You have…....what?" said our mom with a face like she wanted to kill him.


"Don't listen to him mom,hes all talking, and by the way mom, this is a skateboard

"Oh please, you're such a brat,next time be more careful,i don't want to watch you die " I said with sarcasm ,but i care for him.


We always fight

Keito is still young, he has a life

My parents always help him and are there for him.

They even let him decided to choose his college by himself

With me never

He chose sport academy

I don't know why

I just hope he likes it.


<<After 2 hours>>

The faculties here in London are different from those in Japan, the people here are different and have a strange accent.

I have it too, but not very British.

God, when will this nightmare end?

I start my next class in 20 minutes, I have the same routine every day.

I'm always reading a book

Everyone wonders why I read so much.

And what see in them

They will never understand



<<After 10 minutes>>

"Hi, I'm Ema from business school, you're Kenji, right?

From law school?"

'Yes…it's me,' I said nervously.

People usually don't talk to me

Usually when people do it ,they always bullies me and my books

They'd better leave my books alone

They're my kids

"We are running a volunteer program here related to business but also to animal protection, and I wanted to ask you if you want to be part of this project, it's your choice, but people always attack animals, there are bad people in the world, and I want to protect them," she said with tears in her eyes.


Bless her heart.

What a good heart she has

She is lucky that I love animals

Plus we have one thing in common

I hate that kind of people


"Of course, don't worry, I'll be there, plus I love animals and they need to be protected," I said with a smile on my face

'Oh my God, thank you so much Kenji, I knew you had a big heart, honestly thank you so much”she said easily.

I think she wants to hug me

I wouldn't refuse it

She is such a cute girl

Too bad I can't like her differently

"Can you give me your phone number so I can give you the details about the project?"

"Sorry I don't have a phone, I hate phones, it seems like a waste of time, but I'm always here, so we can meet here"

"Oh okay, I understand, see you then, have a good day, Ken" she said with her beautiful smile.

"You too, Emma"

Oh what a day

At least I was able to meet Emma

Something good today

I hope so
