Chapter 1

*Things to know:-

•Sensei= teacher •In Japan, like in China and Korea, the first name follows the family name, however, I'll put the first name first so some readers won't get confused.

Back at the time when Saira Aoki was in junior high school, she got teased alot because of her physical appearance (fat), and a loner. The boys and girls like to either ignore her or make fun of her.

When Saira was born she was handed to her grandmother to be taken care of immediately. She stayed with her grandmother until she was 4 years old. Her grandmother passed away due to a malignant disease, therefore Saira went back to live with her parents.

Saira's parents are very outstanding people in society. Her father is a famous international actor known as (Masahiro Endo), and her mother is a famous fashion model known as (Kohana Aoki). Therefore, she rarely spends time with her parents, and when they got divorced she almost was not able to see them. Saira was mostly all alone, therefore she felt lonely and isolated most of the time. She had no one to talk with and didn't dare to make friends when she was young because she was afraid that her identity would be discovered and get into trouble or give her parents trouble.

Her parents were known to be happily married, and the public knows that they had a child together. However, Saira's parents did not reveal Saira's gender or name to avoid any attack from the anti-fans or any other evil intention. Saira's parents divorced when she was 6 years old, and when they divorced, her parents did not reveal whether Saira was staying with her mother or father. Saira had to stay in another place to avoid the reporters and not be discovered. Saira stayed with her mother's colleague until things got cooled down, then moved to a well-secured managed apartment all alone. A nanny stayed with her until she was admitted into junior high school, and her mother would come and spend time with her from time to time when she is free, which was so rare. Saira's surname was changed after her mother's surname, from Saira Endo, her father's surname to Saira Aoki.

Saira filled her loneliness and stress with food, therefore, she became overweight. She did not eat because it would make her happy or she loved to eat, but it was to fill up the emptiness in herself. She felt that she had to fill something or do something, but she just did not know what to do and turned to the food instead.

Every time she goes to school she would find dirt in her shoe cupboard and desk. Sometimes her books and notebooks go missing. Despite that Saira was always the first in the school.

Saira could not tell her homeroom teacher, because if she complains, the homeroom teacher would have to call out the parents including Saira's to discuss the problem. Since Saira's parents can not come, her mother would send a lawyer instead, which would make things complicated. People will wonder who is Saira's parents, who is that lawyer and who he working for, why her parents did not come instead, who are her parents to send a lawyer...etc. There would be so many questions, so Saira avoided telling her homeroom teacher and just endure it. Saira's homeroom teacher was aware of Saira's situation at school. She used to call out Saira to ask her and invite Saira's parents to solve the problem, however, Saira always would say that she is alright with it and there is no need. The homeroom teacher could not do anything so she tried to help Saira with small things like providing her with new books and notebooks from the graduated students whenever Saira's things go missing.

High school entrance exams season was close and Saira's things went missing again. Saira went to her homeroom teacher's room (Staffroom/ teachers room) to take the books and notebooks and give back the past books, however, she wasn't there. Saira decided to just wait for her when Katashi Kobayashi who is her one-year senior and now a 1st-year high school student came in. Saira recognized him because he was so popular in school. After all, he is recognized as the cool gentleman prince in school or the cold gentleman. Although he looks like a cold person he is a gentleman and a nice person in his own way. Katashi was the one who always talked to her nicely and treated her well whenever they run to each other, and he was the reason and motivation that made Saira wanted to lose weight and change her way of living. Saira encountered him when she was in 2nd year of junior high. At that time Katashi was her reason to overcome everyday hardship and problems, and now he is Saira's motivation and inspiration. Also, he is Saira's, 1st love/crush Saira wanted to change and lose weight because she wanted to change her self, her life and also to get Katashi's attention.

Katashi entered the room and spotted Saira there.

👉Katashi: "Oh! It's you! Do you know where is Yubi-Sensei is?" [Sensei = teacher]

👉Saira: "No, I don't know. I'm actually waiting for her." Said while smiling faintly.

👉Katashi: "I see. I wanted to give my notes and books from last year." Katashi looked at Saira and smiled faintly. "By the way, it's nice to see you smile and I see that you have changed! Good for you!"

Saira blushed. Katashi looked at his watch worriedly. Saira noticed.

👉Saira: "Actually, you can leave it to me, and this, your notes and books. Thank you so much for lending it to me " Saira bowed

👉Katashi: "Oh! So it was you?! Then..." Katashi handed Saira the paper bag with his notes and books and so did Saira.

👉Saira: "Thank you so much, I will use it well." Bowed Saira.

👉Katashi: "Yes, let's exchange contacts if you need anything about studying or any other reference about any subject you can contact me. How about that?! But it's only if it's something related to studying, and don't give it to anyone else." Katashi took out his phone from his pocket.

👉Saira: "Ah! Yes sure, please don't worry. I promise I won't give it to anyone! " Saira took her phone with an excited heart and exchanged her contact information with Katashi.

👉Katashi: "Then, don't forget to inform sensei later."

👉Saira: "Yes, I will."

👉Katashi: "Then, later"

Saira watched Katashi as he walked out of the room with a smily face, and then she looked at Katashi's number on her phone and held it dearly.

Saira's homeroom teacher saw Saira smiling for the first time.

👉Yubi-sensei: "It's nice to see you smiling! Oh! And by the way, I saw Katashi just now, he told me everything so you can take your leave." Said while smiling.

👉Saira: "I see, then (bowed) thank you so much for your hard work sensei."

Yubi-sensei smiled faintly and nodded her head.

👉Yubi-sensei: "Yes, you too, thank you for your hard work, and be careful on your way home!"

Saira bowed once again and walked out of the room.

Saira was walking out of school when suddenly a car horn got Saira's attention, Saira turned to the sound and then noticed that it's her mother's manager's car parked outside of the school. Saira felt strange usually her mother's manager would avoid coming to school because she is recognized as Kohana Aoki the top model's manager Michi Goto, therefore, she would send someone else instead to avoid problems. Saira felt worried and wondered if something has happened. Saira walked towards the car quickly and went into the car naturally.

Before the manager Michi open her mouth, Saira asked. "Michi-san did something happens?!"

👉Michi-san: "No, don't worry, it's just that your mother needs to talk to you about an important matter. Here, take this and change... You... Anyway, change into these clothes quickly." It has been a while since Michi saw Saira, so she was surprised that Saira has lost some weight, however, she couldn't say anything because she was afraid that someone might notice something. Michi-san handed Saira staff clothes and a hat to change into. Saira took the clothes and the hat and wore them, the clothes were a little bit loose for her. Saira did not ask Michi any more questions and just hoped it's not something so serious.
