Hello there, everyone!
It's been some time since I left Japan, and suddenly I've been seeing France as a totally different place. There is no Takeru around, no Daisuke.. Yamato isn't back in Japan either, as far as I can tell. I've been trying to organize my thoughts, trying to remind myself that France is where I belong, where I've always belonged, but life isn't the same without all of you.
Mother and Papa are doing well, as is Takeru's grandfather, who comes by regularly to visit me. He never fails to ask about another short story about what I did in Harajuku, around Takeru's house, and even at school. Wow, even the 'bullying' from the Takaishi-Yagami fanclub seems like it happened years ago.. It has really been long.
Father has been giving me the strangest stares and asking me "Exactly how much do you miss Japan, Catherine darling?". My replies have varied from "If I dropped a marble into a peanut butter jar every time I wished I was back, you'd find twelve jars in my room" to "Papa, enough!" I wonder if there is something he is not telling me. At night I hear him speaking to Mother in hushed tones. Unfortunately, I miss out on what exactly he says.
Did you watch the World Cup? I was disappointed to see that France lost, but I did feel happy for Italy. The most important thing is that our players tried their very best! (The World Cup, by the way, caused a new fad in my school: students have been found bouncing soccer balls on their knees and trying practically every trick imaginable. It's still going on - and they remind me of Taichi and Daisuke!
So, how are all of you? I've missed you so much!
