	Kana had already been up since 5:45, as per usual she goes on her routine jog every weekday morning. With the family dog- Taka running by her side, they finish their course back in front of home. Kana takes a moment to catch her breath before heading inside. Upon walking in, she hears the sound of the piano being played from the living room. Her mother plays the piano nearly every morning. If Kana came back from her early jog and didn't hear piano music upon walking in, she knew something bad had happened. Kana walks into the living room and greets her mother. 

[color=a2d39c]"Good morning mom, Taka and I are back now."[/color] 
The woman at the bench didn't stop playing nor did she take her eyes off the keys. 
"That's good honey, you better go get ready for your first day of class." The voice coming from the woman was distant, but Kana was already used to that voice. 

	She rushes up the stairs to her room to get ready for the day. One thing about school uniforms was that females almost always wore skirts, something she hated. But beginning of junior high she would wear spandex shorts underneath, making it much more comfortable for her. After taking a quick shower to wash off all the sweat from the jog, Kana puts on her school uniform and stares at the mirror. Her eyes gaze down towards her right hand, where the wrist has been wrapped. She sighs deeply and thinks to herself, [i][color=a2d39c]"I'll get into tennis and just play like normal. Kei is coming next week for my birthday and I need to be in top shape if I want to stand a chance against him..." [/color][/i]
Without stressing much longer on her predictament, Kana grabs a sleek black wristband she bought and slides it over the wraps. She grabs her bags, including her tennis one. Lastly she ties her hair up in a pony tail before heading downstairs.  Her mom was still at the piano so Kana shouted her goodbye's and headed out the door.

	The Nishikori family lived in a relatively quiet neighborhood. Since her dad works at some aerospace company they have the luxury of affording a nice house in Fukushima. Although the school is a bit of a walk from her house, Kana didn't mind at all. On her path there was a family resturant that was starting to get bustling for breakfast. Curious and hungry, she walks in knowing there's plenty of time to spare before school begins. Recognizing some students wearing the same uniform she wonders if this is a hotspot for Uesugi students. Choosing to sit in a booth near a window she orders ice coffee with toast and marmalade on top. Kana stares out the window while taking bites of her toast, all while thinking about how different this year would be for her.
