Chapter 1

My father is one of the biggest CEO’s known in the world. He likes to say that a lot to my older brother and I. Oh wait, my name is Hinata. My father named me because it means sunflower and facing the sun. I think that's what he told me when I was little, and my older brother's name is Haruto meaning sun, sunlight,distant soar and fly. I think I’m not that sure I will ask my father. We have been moving every year ever since my father made a deal with someone. My father is hiding the family from the man he made the deal with, Haruto and I start school today.

“Hinata, Haruto come down here your father wants to see if you both are ready.”

“Mother, we will be down in a minute. Hinata wanted help with her uniform.”

“Okay, Oh Haruto, Hinata after school your father will need both of you at his office.”

“Yes mother.”

“Haruto?”

“Yes Hinata?”

He started to pack my bag for me. I was sitting on my bed.

“Why must you lie to mother and father about the uniform?”

“I must lie to them because of what is happening.”

He sits next to me and hugs me.

“Haruto, why must you lie. Father will lock you in the study for doing this and make you do work for him”

I hugged him back. He got up and I watched him get his bag and leave. Why isn't he answering me? Haruto, what are you planning on doing? I looked out the window and about a few minutes later my father walked into my bedroom.

“Daddy, why do I have to go to school? Im feeling under the weather”

“Hinata, you look fine from here your brother is waiting for you. Remember to come to my office after school.”

“Can you drive us to school this time?”

He walked over and picked up my bag. I get on my knees on my bed.

“Please father we don’t hang out anymore”

“What's wrong with you and your brother's personal driver?”

“Nothing, We would both like it if we had our father drive us to school.”

“Okay, I will drive both of you to school.”

I started to smile and jumped out of my bed and hugged him.

“Thank you father!”

He hugged me back and pressed my bag. I smiled and ran down the stairs to the front door.

“Hinata don’t run.”

“Okay father”

I ran to Haruto and grabbed his arm.

“Don't go into that car father will drive his today than we will be walking to his office after school”

He looked at me.

“Okay let's wait by his car for him. He is probably talking with mother. About why we are late for school.”

He flicked my forehead. I covered my forehead with my hands.

“Ow why did you do that”

“Because i’m allowed you know father would have done it to”

“No he wouldn't”

“Whatever Hinata you really are more like father”

“Haruto you are more like mother”

We both walked to fathers car.

“ Have a great day with your first day of school, Haruto and Hinata.”

“Thank you mother.” we said at the same time.

'Father, come on we will be late.”

Father walked over and opened the door for Haruto and me. We both got in. When we got in his car I started to study. Haruto was helping me study.

“Why are you studying you both are smart people”

“Daddy, we have to study”

“Yes, we really do need to study we have to be top of our classes”

“Don’t work yourselfs to hard”

“We weren't father”

Father wants us to do our best in school. How doesn't he care about our grades like grandpa does? When I was little I always had a book in my face when I was out in the garden before we started to move every year or every month. But now that Haruto is 16 and I'm 15 it's different.

“Father, I was wondering if today I could go to the bookstore with Haruto if you don’t mind us going”

“What time will you both be back I will call a driver for you both”

“Before dinner”

“You both have till seven”

“Thank you daddy”

“How much do you both need?”

“Don’t worry I have enough for the book I'm looking for father”

Father started to smile. I was looking out the window looking at all the people. We haven't lived in a city like this in two years. Everything looks kinda weird. Haruto didn’t mind it.

'Haruto, when do you plan on moving out?”

“Father, I can’t move out. Im almost 17”

“That's right what do you want to do next month”

“Can I have a party?”

“Yes we can do that oh and Hinata, my smart girl the school you wanted to go to asked if you had anytime next week if you want to take a look at the school”

“Really? Are you joking? They want me to go look at the school. I can't wait to look at what they have there!”

“I will tell them you would like to see what they have”

“Thank you daddy!”

He smiled and drove to the front of the school. Haruto walked out and three girls ran to him. He pushed them away. I laughed in the car. I kissed my fathers cheeks goodbye and got out of the car and ran to Hauto. I was hanging off of his arm. My father was waiting for us to go to school. We both walked in the school. A group of girls walked up to us.

“You must me the new kids”

Haruto didn’t talk. I looked at him.

“Im Hinata and this is my brother Haruto”

“You have a nice name Hinata wanna be friends with us?”

“Im sorry but I don’t really make friends with people"

Haruto covered my mouth before saying anything. He picked me up and walked off.

“Haruto! Stop!”

He puts me down.

“Shh, fathers bodyguards are right there. If you tell them anything we aren’t going to be in school anymore. Remember if you do make a friend we aren’t staying here for long.”

“I know but it's okay to make friends with people even if it doesn’t last for long”

“But you can’t hang out with them because father knows we are going to be in the city after we go to his office”

I looked around and looked at the girls and ran back to them.

“Hinata!”

“Sorry big brother will do that a lot. But sure we can be friends, what's your name anyway?”

“Its okay im Aimi”

“You have a lovely name. It means beautiful love right?”

“That’s a little weird

“Im sorry my father does that with people I just picked it up”

“Oh didn’t you come in that rich car”

I looked away.

“No, I didn’t come in the rich car I walk to school”

“Oh well what class are you in?”

“Im in class A3”

“Oh thats cool”

“Yeah, It's the same has big brother”

I looked at Haruto. Oh he is making friends, that's great.

“Well I better be getting back to big brother see you guys later”

“Okay”

I ran over to Haruto and hugged his arm looking up at him. He smiled at me.

“Oh this is my little sister Hinata”

“Hello”

“Hey”

I looked at Haruto.

“Sorry Katashi, Hinata has this thing that she knows what everyone's names mean and she wants to know if she can do it with you”

“Sure, I really don't mind her doing that. So Hinata what does my name mean?”

“It means Firm and hard I think im sorry I have been having a hard time remembering”

“Is that why you studied in fathers car”

“Yes, father doesn’t have to know that”

“Must you lie to father”

“Hey! You cant say that”

“Yes I can”

I looked over to the side and saw my father. I grabbed onto Haruto more than before. Everyone was watching.

“Haruto father is over there we have to get to class now”

“Okay okay we will get to class. Sorry Katashi we are leaving first”

“Okay your class is just down the hall”

Haruto and I walked off.

“Why is father here”

“Maybe he found out you and I were lying to him”

“No, father wouldn't care if we lied to him but he only pulls us out of school is when we have to move”

Haruto stopped and looked back.

“Father over here!”

He looked at us and walked over. I ran off. I don’t want to move again. I started to cry.

“Hinata stop!”

“Haruto get in the car I will get your sister she will be fine”

“Yes, but father she doesn’t want to move”

“We aren’t moving yet I have good news for you two and your mother just get in the car”

“Yes father”

I kept running and bumped into someone.

“Watch where your go-”

I looked up and it was Kaito. He was my brother's best friend when we were kids and he is a year older than Haruto. I hugged him crying.

“Hinata why are you crying or better yet why are you here? Didn’t you move away seven years ago? Why are you back?”

I just kept crying. He hugged me back.

“Hinata! Where are you!”

“Is that your father calling you”

“Y-yeah”

He was rubbing my back. My father just found me.

“Hinata there you are”

“Daddy I don’t want to move, we just got back. I just found Katio”

“We aren't moving”

I ran to my father and hugged his arm. I was tearing up. He looked at me.

“Hinata, i'm sorry that scared you but i have better news for you and your brother go wait in the car and take Kaito with you I think your brother Haruto would like to see him again”

“Okay father, Kaito come on I will show you where fathers car is”

I took his hand and ran with Kaito to my fathers car that was at the front of the school.

“Slow down Hinata.” He said and stopped me.

“Kaito the car is right there”

He hugged me again but this time he rested his head on my shoulder.

“Sorry, I missed you and Haruto a lot you guys just left without saying anything”

“I’m sorry Kaito but it was the only way. That both Haruto and I didn’t get hurt”

“What do you mean”

“Father will tell you”

I walked over to the car. Haruto ran and hugged me.

“Where were you”

“I was with someone but don't worry father find me”

“Who were you with?”

“Kaito!”

“Hinata we aren’t back in the city where we grow up”

“Yes we are!”

I looked over at Kaito and ran to hug him. Kaito grabbed me and hugged me.

'Do you have zero trust in your sister Haruto”

“Kaito?”

“Yes why would someone just grab a girl and hug her without”

“Well Katashi would”

I looked at Haruto. Then up at Kaito and smiled. My father walked up to us and pulled him off of me.

“Get in the car”

“Yes sir”

“Daddy can we go to the bookstore on the way home? I wanted to get new notes for my piano”

“Sure, what type of songs are you playing this week?”

“Something nice to help mother clean!”

Father smiled and opened the car door for us. We all got in the back of the car. I was sitting next to Kaito because I got a window seat. I was getting cold from the window being down.

“Daddy can you close my window im getting cold I can't feel my fingers”

“Sure-”

Kaito closed my window for me.

“I asked my father if he could do that for me”

“Don’t always let your father do everything for you”

“I can do whatever I want and you're not my dad so why are you even doing things for me”

“Honey, why can’t you say thank you for me”

I was about to punch him in the face. My father stopped the car and got out and opened the door.

“Fight out here not in the car please”

I got out of the car and waited for Kaito.

“I'm not fighting her”

“Why are you a chicken or you just don't want to hit a girl?”

“I just don't want to hurt you in front of your father”

“Kaito she will be fine it's you that my father and I are worried about”

I started to put my hair up and took off the top of the uniform and started to put on the hoodie my father has for me.

“Come on”

Kaito smiled and got out of the car and closed it behind him. I punched him in the face.

“Ow what the-”

I smiled at him and helped him clean it up. My heart was skipping a beat looking at him. We were so close together. He closed one of his eyes when I was healing up his black eye that I gave him.

“Sorry did it hurt that much”

“Not really you just have a nice punch”

“Thanks”

My father looked at him.

“Look Hinata. I'm sorry I acted like that but after you guys left I changed into this type of person. Sir I can walk home from here I live just two blocks away”

“All of you in the car Kaito I have already talked with your mother and father you are staying at our place for a couple of weeks so your family can find a new house”

“Wait really? When did this happen?”

“When I know Haruto or Hinata would run into you at school just don't get too close to them we move every year”

“Daddy can we please stay here for longer this time”

“Why would we do that you know what will happen if we don't Hinata”

“We have bodyguards all over the grounds of the mansion and pool house. We are going to be safe for a little while right?”

“Hinata father don't go back on fathers words”

“Haruto you don't get it we can make any friends for mother can't keep a job for more than a year because of this”

I looked at my father and he had his head down.

“Father, what do you say?”

“Hinata go to study when we get home. Haruto go show Kaito where the pool house he will be staying there”

“Y-yes father” I said, a little scared.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Kaito. I looked at him in tears. He whispers in my ear.

“Are you okay?”

“Mhm” I say looking away.

“Get in the car”

“Sir can we still go to the bookstore I would love to hear Hinata play the piano”

My father didn’t answer like this because he thinks Haruto and I will go back on what we were told a long time ago. I'm sure he is only doing this for us to be safe but this is getting out of hand.  He puts both Haruto and I in training class with new bodyguards every year, and both of us have guns in our bags. We are both good at fighting with our bare hands.  If the man that father made a deal with is even going after us anymore. I got in the car with Haruto and Kaito again. I was sitting beside Kaito. I was grabbing his arm like I would with Haruto. I couldn't tell if Kaito was fine with my father and I fighting but this is normal for father and I. A few minutes after driving from school and home I saw the bookstore.

“Father can we stop the bookstore”

He stopped the car.

“You have ten minutes or we are leaving you”

“Daddy really? I already know what I'm getting for about five minutes.”

“Okay five minutes. When you get in the store and when you get out.”

“May I take someone?”

“Yeah, But I get to pick”

“Okay who is it going to be?”

I looked at Haruto wanting father to pick him.

“Kaito he is the oldest out of all of you and both of you don't have your phones on you”

“I have my phone”

“Hinata you left it on your bedside table this morning when we were leaving”

“Really?”

“Yes now you two get in there before father changes his mind”

I opened the door and both Kaito and I got out and started to run to the door. I looked back at my father and gave him a thumbs up so he could start the timer. Kaito opened the door and I walked in. I ran to someone that was working there.

“Hello, I was wondering where the piano notes are?”

“Right over-”

“Hinata come with me we don't have long for talking”

Kaito grabbed my hand and we both ran to the music notes. I was looking for the one I wanted. Kaito wouldn't let go of my hand because he just wanted to leave when I found it.

“Kaito can you grab that for me I can't get it down”

“Sure”

He reached and got the notes I wanted and handed them to me. I was wondering how long we have left, he wasn't telling me but we did just walk to the front desk to buy the notes. I was pulling out the card father and mother gave me so I could pay for the notes. Kaito stopped me, pulled out his card and paid for it. We both ran out. My father was talking to someone outside so he didn't even see us. We ran to the car. Haruto opened the door for us so we wouldn't have to and we would just have to jump in. I was holding Kaito’s hand while we were running to the car.

“Get in the timer is about to go off guys!”

We got in and laughed so hard that we couldn't breathe.

“We did it! And father is still outside and the timer is going off”

“Yeah,wait Kaito let go of my sister!”

“Oh wait,” Kaito said, letting go of my hand.

I climbed to the front of the car and unlocked fathers phone so we could stop the timer. Father got in the car, looking at me.

“Wait, what are you doing?”

“We got back before the timer so I jumped in the front so we could turn off the timer”

“Oh well now I know you won't be late for a business meeting.”

“Oh yeah”

“What's wrong, do you still want to be like me? Being a CEO”

“Maybe I have been getting into art have you seen the painting in my room I made when I was outside in the woods”

“Oh yes that one”

“How do you like it father”

“I still think you are better of being a CEO”

“Father that isn't what she wants to do anymore”

“Haruto I understand that but she done everything I have giving her that I didn't have time to do”

“And how did she do?”

“Wonderful everything was right I started to think she cheated and looked at something just like what I gave her”

“ Oh”

Kaito looked at me.

“ May I see the picture?”

“Yes you can but first father wants me to do something in the study and he has good news for mother,Haruto and I so maybe when you get unpacked in the the guest room I will show you”

“Sounds good”

Father looked at me, putting his arm around me.

“So what did you get your father from the store”

“Nothing”

“Really will I would love your homemade blueberry cake”

“Father that would been I would have to pick blueberries”

“Yeah”

I smiled.

“Would you like to come with me! Just like when Haruto and I were little”

“Honey I'm not sure I might have a meeting later today”

“Oh well I will ask mother or one of the boys”

“Hinata I could go with you”

“Really Kaito?”

“Yeah, when are you going to go out”

“Maybe when father is done talking to me in the study”

"Okay”
