Chapter 1: When I was young

I am Japanese and White, my mother is from Yamaguchi Japan and my father was born in to United States. I am Multiracial.
The first memory that I can recall was when I was 4 years old. I remember sitting on the cold wooden seats of the court house watching intently but not fully understanding what was going on. That day changed my life forever. This was the day that my parents divorced, and I would not know what effect this would have in my life.
We moved to Trinidad CO from our house in the middle of the woods that summer and I attended preschool like everyone else. I saw my father some days, he was only a block away, but when my older brother (Falcon and Robin) got in trouble and had to move, my father moved with them to Denver.
After the summer me, my mother, and my brother Sky, moved back into the woods. I was homeschooled out of Primero till 5th grade, and then I started attending full time in the school. I was the only girl of 15 in my 5th grade class but that did not bother me. My best friends were Dusty and Jacob. Me and Dusty were the biggest nerds, and I had the biggest crush on him during that time.
My childhood was easy, and I fit in all the time. That changed though, when I got into 7th grade.
