Polaris

Chapter 1: The Tenants

SEIRA'S SITUATION

My name is Seira, I'm one of the tenants here in Polaris. Polaris, a star that is located at the end of the Little Dipper or known as the north star. I don't know why the owner name it Polaris but I can say it is a nice name. Right now we are seven in this house, 3 guys and 4 girls including me, this is a co-ed dorm actually but not all of us are students, some are working already just like me :)

"Sei-chan, are you awake can you help me put some cream on my back?" A guy's voice came from the bathroom.

"Hai! Coming in Icchan!" I said happily. 

I went inside the bathroom and saw my half-dressed roommate and best friend Itsuki, but I call him Icchan. I put some cream on my hand and scrub it on his back, "Arigatou, Sei-chan." He smiled. I smiled back and wiped my hands, "That's right Sei-chan, are you about to go to work?" He asked. "Later in the afternoon, why?" I answered him with a question. "Drop by at the restaurant later, kay?" He smiled. "Haiiiiii." I told him. He went out of the bathroom and wore his shirt while I went back to bed to sleep again. While sleeping I've dreamed again the day I left home because of an argument with my grandfather.

Flashback...

"These are the list of your potential partner that will help you manage our business." Seira's grandfather told her.

"Partner? What are you talking about oji-sama, I'm still young and I have studies that I need to do. Having a partner is the least in my options." Seira answered.

"This is something that you have to do as the only heir of the Sakuranomiya."

"Sakuranomiya...sakuranomiya...sakuranomiya... you always say that I have to do this because I am a Sakuranomiya, can I just be an ordinary girl? Can I just be Seira and nothing more?"

"As long as you have the last name of Sakuranomiya then you have to live with it, don't be such a disgrace to our family." 

"Itsumo, itsumo, itsumo, itsumo! Daikirai, oji-sama! Zettai ni yurusenan!"

She walked out on her grandfather and packed up her things. "Seira, I heard you talked back to oji-sama, hurry up and apologized to him!" Her older brother scolded her.

"Urusai! If you're okay with oji-sama interfering your life then leave me out of it. I don't want anyone of you to interfere in my life. I don't care if you ripped off this surname to me, or discard me as long as I can live my life fully, I'm glad to take it!"  She talked back.

"Seira! Please think twice on what you're doing. Please don't be rash and apologize to oji-sama." Another older brother of hers, pleaded.

"My decision is final, I'll leave this house. I can't take it anymore." She declared.

"Seira! Matte Seira don't leave, if you're gonna leave then I don't think I can handle this pressure." Her sister pleaded also.

"Warui ne, ne-sama but I have to do this. If not I'll be forever in the palms of oji-sama." Seira said.

Seira left home despite the pleads of her siblings. Her decision to leave everything was firm, and no one can intervene.

Present Time...

Seira woke up from her sleep and went out of her room, she ate lunch then after she head to the bathroom to take a shower, "So sleepy." She mumbled. She went out of the bathroom and took a change of clothes in her cabinet. "Stockings, stockings, stocking-su. Skirt, skirt skirt-san. Blouse, blouse, blouse-san." She sang as she put on her clothes, she tied up her long violet hair, put on a minimal make up on her face, mascara on her eye lashes, a light pink on her lips. "That should do it." She told herself. She went out the house and head to her work via bus, as soon as she reached her work "Seira-san! I need your help!" One of her colleagues called her desperately. "What's wrong?" She asked.
