Hi, my name is Masami and I am 15 years old. I live in Boston with my brother, my Mom and my Dad. I don’t really have a good Relationship with my Parents. The only person I can talk about my problems with is my best friend Francesca. She is my best and only friend , and she has a really cute brother his name is Apollo and I have been crushing on him for 2 years now. He is one year older than me and so nice. The only reason why I haven’t asked him out yet is because of my parents . They wont allow me to have contact with any guy. That’s another reason why I hate them. The  summer holidays were almost over and I wasn’t  happy to go to school at all, because nobody other than Francesca really liked me because of my good grades. School will starts tomorrow so I went to bed early. I Woke up at 5.30 the next morning so that I could study before I had to leave for school. The school bus came at 6:10 . In the bus I searched for Francesca ,” Masami !” I heard someone yell. I saw Francesca sitting at the back of the bus. I sat down next to her and we started talking . “are your parents still so strict about grades?” Francesca asked. “What do you think?, I asked ,, of course they are. ,, Oh my god, I am so sorry for you” she answered. , “Yeah I am too” I said. We started talking about other things like Theater. There is one thing you have to know about  me I love Theater . It’s my dream to go to Japan and become an actor there. But my parents have other plans for me, they want me to become a doctor here in Boston. They don’t know about my dream of going to Japan. I cant tell them otherwise they will make sure I can never achieve that. I have made plans with Francesca to run away to Japan one day, I have relatives there, I could ask them if I could stay with them until I earn my own money as an actor, but I don’t think I can really ever achieve that. The school bus reached the schools parking lot and me and Francesca entered the Building. “Sooo I have to tell you something amazing later in break” she said. “what is it about?” I asked, but Francesca would not tell me. So I agreed to come to her after class were she will tell me. I went to my class it was math. I hate math I understand it but I hate it. We worked on a worksheet it was Super easy. After class I went to search for Francesca ,, Hey” she said, I saw her sitting on a bench outside. “ so tell me what is so great” I said.  “Okay , I know that your dream is to go to Japan right? , and I think we can actually make that dream come true” “ What?!” I yelled “How?” “My brother has to go to Tokyo for the weekend for a Volleyball competition and I asked him if we could come too” She started “Oh my god and he said yes? “ I asked completely shocked. ,, Well after I told him you would come he agreed” She answered smiling. “That is amazing, but how will I convince my parents, they will never allow me to go “ I said sadly. ,, Yeah so about that , you will have to sneak out” She said with a sneaky smile.,, Hmm I guess for my dream I could that ”I answered slightly scared.,, and even better I found out about an acting competition in Tokyo this Sunday, you could go and win that competion ,you will earn money and  get away from your parents AMAZING” Francesca continued “I was so exited I almost I cried I was going to go to Tokyo with my crush. OH MY GOD ! “When will we leave I have to prepare” I asked her. ,, We will leave on Friday in the evening, just tell your parents your learning at my house for the Weekend and tell them my brother is not there so they will let you”. She answered. ,, I am so exited thank you so much I love you Francesca ” I said to her so happy I almost couldn’t breath. Francesca answered “I love you too” and we went back to class with the biggest smiles. The week flew by so quickly and it was already Thursday I was so exited and happy ,tomorrow my dream would actually come true and I will experience it with Apollo. When I came back home and told my parents about the studying lie at Francesca´s house. My parents luckily agreed. I studied a bit and went to bed with a smile on my face. I almost missed my school bus today because I overslept but luckily I just barely made it. Francesca and me talked about Tokyo all day long and I could not concentrate on what the teachers said at all. When it was finally over. Me and Francesca left to go to her House. Apollo was not there yet so we waited in her room. “do your parents know about this ?” I asked her. “no don’t worry they don’t know anything they are out of town till Next Friday” She answered and I was relived, if her parents knew they would definitely inform my parents and my dream would never come true. ,,Oh wait Apollo is calling me” Francesca said. My heart skipped a beat was Apollo there, I stared to fix my hair. “So he is waiting outside are you coming” Francesca interrupted me. ,, yeah lets go” I answered. The minute I stepped outside I saw Apollo’s beautiful brown eyes meet mine. He looked so good. ,, Hey Masami he said” He said smiling sweetly. “Hi “ I answered sweating like crazy. ,, Lets go you guys, time for a road trip” Francesca yelled exited. We all got in Apollos car and drove to the airport. “We got into our plane and the flight was super pleasant. Apollo even fell asleep on my shoulder once. The flight was long but it was not stressful at all. We got out of the plane and I immediately saw the beautiful lights of Tokyo. I gasped as we drove to our apartment in a taxi. It was absolutely beautiful. “wow, I said isn´t it Gorgeous “ “ it is indeed” Apollo answered looking at me. I blushed so hard. When we reached our Apartment I fell asleep instantly. The beds were amazing too by the way. I dreamed about the great things that could happen here, for example coming together with Apollo or becoming a famous actor. I woke up early in the morning because of a shrill sound. It was my Mother calling me. I instantly stoop up. My heart was beating. I accepted the call. “Hello ? “I spoke into the receiver . “Masami, this is your Mother have you ben learning? She asked “I could not reach Francescas parents at all.” she continued. “Umm yes Mom “I answered ,,they are still sleeping that’s probably why, and yeah I was just learning right now when you called me” I answered: “Okay honey that is good I will call you back later I have to go to an important meeting” My Mother answered, she sounded really stressed. “Okay I love you” I told her and hung up. ,, Masami , are you up” I heard Francesca yelling. ,, Yup I am coming” I yelled back. Apollo was also up already and the three of us ate breakfast together. “So I have to go to practice later” Apollo said you guys can explore Tokyo a bit, but don’t get lost and keep your phones on so I can call you” ,, Yeah yeah we will ” Francesca replied annoyed. So we left the house. Tokyo was amazing the food was yummy the people were nice and it was so clean everywhere. We walked through the city the hole day long until Apollo called us and told us to come Home. At the Apartment he told us about his practice and it sounded so fun. “so how was your guyses day did you get enough to eat should I cook something, what do you like to eat Masami?” He asked he sounded so worried it made me blush again “No, no don’t worry I got enough to eat how about you Francesca? “I said. ,, Nah im not hungry either, but what is more important since when do you care how much I eat Apollo, or wait this is not about me is it this is about Masami right?.” Francesca said grinning at me. “What are you talking about you’re my sister of course I care “Apollo answered, but I saw that he was blushing a tiny bit. Did he actually care about me? I asked to myself. ,, mhm of course “Francesca said without stopping to grin at us,, I will go to bed you too can keep talking” She said running to her room. Me and Apollo actually talked really long about a lot of things like Volleyball my dream of becoming an actor and so on. We talked till 1 am when I went to sleep because I was so tired of walking around the city the hole day long. Apollos Volleyball match will be at 10 and my Acting competition will be at 14. I was so exited but scared at the same time because of my competion. I fell asleep quickly and dreamed about Apollo and my acting competion and many other things. I woke up at 9 got ready and all together we left for Apollos Volleyball match. Of course he won he was so good I could barley believe it , he had to be the quickest of his team. After the Match he came running to me and hugged me. I was red the hole time back to the apartment. After we came home I changed my clothes and we rushed to my Competiton. It was super scary but Apollo comforted me and I made it. I won. It was SOO great. I could not believe it. “Thank you “ I said to . ,, you don’t have thank me, he answered you achieved this all by yourself. He kissed me on the cheek. And I could feel my heard skipping a beat. Francesca also congratulated me and before we could leave the building to go back home to pack our things to fly back home a Woman came up to me. “ Hello are you Masami Kimura ?” she asked. “Yes I am “ I answered slightly skeptical. “My name is Reina Ito and I lead this competition, I saw you acting and you were amazing out there.” she said. “thank you “ I answered and a smile crossed my face. “I am here to give you your prize money and an Information you might want to here” She said. What was she talking about I thought to myself, I don’t know why but I trusted her so Apollo, Francesca and me followed her. “So?” she asked me, “are your parents here?” ,, Um no my Parents are in Boston that’s where I live , I came here for the Weekend” I answered nervous. “ Hmm okay” she answered. “ Do you think its okay for them if you just sign it yourself, I would send an email to them but I am in so much stress right now because of a Jdrama we are filming soon and we are still searching for an actor” ,, Yeah I think they would be fine with that.” I said. “Good that’s great” she said as she gave me a Paper with my name on it. She told me to sign it and so I did. ,, SO about the other information I have for  you” Reina started “ I told you about the Jdrama we are filming and that we are in need of an actor , and I think your perfect for It , we will pay you good and you will get to make friends here.” “What?!, really, you want me to do it?” I asked super exited. “yes please we need you” she answered. “I will send you all the info's can you give me your number ?” she asked. I gave her my number and we kept talking about the Jdrama. I was so exited. An hour later Me, Francesca and Apollo left the building. “I am so proud of you” Francesca said with tears in her eyes “I will  miss you” ,, Hm what are you talking about” I asked,, are you guys not staying with me?” I asked. “we cant” Apollo said sadly. “we have to go home, but don’t worry we wont tell your parents anything” “ NO”, I cried ,, please don’t leave me alone” “You can do this Masami its your dream” Francesca said. ,, She is right” Apollo said. I hugged both of them tightly before they entered the taxi to drive to the airport. First Francesca then Apollo. I looked at him. “Bye Masami” He said before he gently kissed me on the lips. ,, I love you” I told him before he got in the Taxi. And that is my Story. Right now I am Filming My Jdrama. It is Amazing, my parents didn’t find me yet and me and Apollo call everyday. In the next Holidays he will come visit me with Francesca it will be great. I know it.
