I blinked and put my head on the kitchen table. "Bored....bored....bored," I said to myself and blew at a crumb left over from lunch.

My name's Tao Izumi. I'm 14 and I go to Sea Front Middle school in Japan. I have two best friends, Inari Hirokane and Max Kojima. They go to the same school as me, too. I have an older sister named Jaylin. She likes to be called J, but I think it's kinda stupid. She goes out with a guy named Jake. I was told he used to live in the States, but he moved here. I've never really met him before, though.

"So," I heard from behind me. "what do you think of my outfit? Is it to plain?" I turned around and looked at my sister. She was wearing a sort of halter top and a mini skirt. She had on tons of makeup on and she had her hair tied back. Honestly, I found it a bit disturbing, but hey, I'm her little brother. What does she expect? For me to say it's nice? "Well?" she asked again. I glared at her. "What do you want me to say? You look nice?" She frowned. "Well...Sort of," she said and looked down. I rolled my eyes. "You....look..." I winced. Complimenting my sister isn't something I'm used to. "You....look...ugh...nice," I spat. She smiled, came over to where I was, and tapped the top of my head. I looked up and she planted a kiss on my forehead. "Eeeagh! Gross! Girl germs!" I yelled at wiped off the lipstick. She laughed and left the kitchen.

((More to come soon! ^^))
