Love at a High School

Chapter 1
14-year old Martin was a student at Nathan B. Forrest High School, it was 1976.

His family moved from Miami to Jacksonville a month ago for a better life.

"Hey Martin!" A boy his age said.

"Hey Michael!" Martin said.

A Japanese girl got out of the bus, she hardly spoke English.

" (Easy girl, easy, you're overreacting)" She said.

"Who's that?" Martin asked.

"She's the new girl, she's from Japan." A female student said.

Satsuki was a very unusual girl, her favorite toy was a decapitated doll that she called Atama Nashi-chan, she wore a black knee-length black lolita dress.

When she arrived for class, female students looked at her.

"Okay, everyone, this is Satsuki Tachimi, her parents have arrived from Japan, she has a younger brother called Yuu." The teacher said.

The girl sat down next to Martin.

"Err, hello...." He said.

"こんにちは、私わ皐月 (Hello, I am Satsuki)" She said.

A lot of the students never heard her language before.

"It's Japanese, my father once told me of a Japanese soldier during the 2nd World War that tortured him and he knew him personally." Martin said.

"お父さん (Father)" She said.

"Wait, your father tortured mine?" He asked.

"はい (Yes)" She replied.

"Can I show her around?" Martin asked the teacher.

"Of course." She said to the teen.

The Japanese teen and himself got up and left the classroom.

"Here's the boys and girls toilets." He said.

And he then took her to a painting of the school mascot.

"Yeah, We all basically love the idea of a godd*** Confederate being our mascot." He said.

" (You Americans have weird mascots)" She said.

He nodded, despite not understaning Japanese, he knew the tones in her voice.
