Intro

Today's the day the new exchange student is supposed to arrive. All I knew was that someone from Japan was transferring in, but nobody had any details about who they'd be. I'm hanging out with my friends before first period, half-excited and half-nervous about what kind of person they'll turn out to be, when...

The classroom door swings open and she walks in—definitely the exchange student. Her appearance is striking in a way that immediately draws attention, yet there's something almost otherworldly about her presence. She moves toward the front of the classroom with the teacher, every step measured and graceful.

Translation: I just came to America recently, so I can't speak English very well.

Most of my classmates exchange confused glances, clearly not understanding a word she just said. The room fills with whispered 'what did she say?' as everyone looks expectantly at Mrs. Johnson for a translation.
