Swann went back on her daily routine and headed to the University as soon as possible. Swann still kept thinking about that mysterious voice , quote and dream. Everyone greets her as usual but the attention on her was immediately stolen away.
A crowd of fangirls greeted an unknown man. Swann took a look on his face and shrugged. She can't help but admit that , that man that she just saw was handsome but she's not interested. She arrived at the first class of the day and took a nap as she sat down. She was beside the window and she always appreciated how beautiful the sky is in this view. She just kept observing the trees , the birds and how the wind blew a few leaves.
A few admirers of hers noticed how she looked so peaceful looking at the scenery outside the window and complimented her beauty.
The loud bell rang and students rumbled to their assigned seats. Swann straighten her back and made sure that she looked proper.
Their professor walked into the class with a familiar boy behind him. Swann recognized him , he was the guy that took the attention away from her. Swann couldn't care less but she was annoyed at how loud these girls can scream.
'Damn. This isn't music class'
Swann thought to herself and listened to the professor. She was hella confused on why they were fangirling over him. He's just another handsome man , what's the trouble of wasting your voice?
"Settle down , Ladies. As you can see , we have a temporary student. He will only be here for 3 days starting now."
The news saddened the fangirls and Swann chuckled. The man wrote his name on the blackboard and introduced himself.
"Hey , My name is King Persephone."
The short introduction made all the fangirls clap in glee. But , the family name of the new student caught her attention.
'Haven't I met a Persephone recently? Who was it..? Ah! Jay Persephone from the birthday party'
She thinks that Jay and King are related somehow but shrugged the thought of it.
'So he's one of those wealthy boys..'
"Mr. Persephone , choose a seat you like"
King nodded , as he walks across all his fangirls. They all started screaming , Swann got annoyed. The only vacant seats was beside Swann and beside the empty seat beside Swann.
King sat down on the empty seat beside the empty seat beside Swann. King glanced at Swann and felt like he knew this face but couldn't think of how and where he saw her.

It was lunch break and Swann packed her things. Girls started asking King if he was available to eat with them. King looked like he was in a tight situation and Swann couldn't help but chuckle. Swann stood up and went up to them.
"Sorry ladies , Mr. Persephone needs to take a phone call. Please excuse him."
Swann couldn't really find a reason to help him.
"Oh right.. "
"Okay.. "
They understood the ''urgent'' matter and Swann grabbed King's arm. She dragged him outside.
''Thanks , uh..-''
''Swann , Swann Crown''
''Thanks , Swann''
Swann bowed to him and left.

The day ended with no problems for Swann. She packed her things and was starting to leave the school. The same cycle happens again. Yes , her life is boring as hell. But , she can't help it.
She threw her bag and then , went to sleep without eating dinner. The darkness clouded her head as she fell to slumber. Once again , sakura trees were planted and the piano was present but there was something different.
A human figure appeared sitting on the piano seat and playing a rhyme. Swann was confused on why was that figure there.
The lower body was clear to her and it looked like a man. A young man , but the face seems blurred. Swann gets closer and the man noticed her presence. He stopped and looked at her.
"Hey?"
Swann awkwardly spoke and waved at him. He seemed to understood what she said. He didn't say a word and the tension around them felt heavy. Swann felt awkward and sat down on the floor.
"Hey , can I play the piano now?"
Swann asked him and he nodded. Swann stood up fast and went to the piano. She sat beside him and her fingers started dancing on the keyboard pieces.
Swann closed her eyes and played smoothly. It was so gentle and relaxing. She started tearing up as she kept playing. The man noticed her tears and wiped it for her. His actions made Swann blush unexpectedly. She stopped playing after hearing his words.
"A lady like you shouldn't be crying"
His thoughtful words flustered Swann. She was complimented many times but this was the first time she blushed like crazy.
"H-Hey , you shouldn't touch a stranger like that!"
Swann exclaimed still blushing mad and the man chuckled from her cuteness. How dare she blush because of a stranger? But , being with this stranger makes her feel comfortable.
"Am I a stranger now?"
He asked Swann and Swann couldn't answer that. She ended up stuttering and he laughed at her cuteness.
-
They kept talking like forever but it soon ended. The Sakura Trees started to disappear one by one and the piano too. They both realize that the dream is about to end. They started to panic and tried to say what they wanted to say.
"Let's meet again-!"
"Of course-!"
-
Swann got up fast and woke up from her dream. Tears started to form in her eyes and dropped on her cheek. Tears kept flowing on her cheeks and Swann just stared at the blank air. She just stared blankly at the wall as her tears kept flowing.
'Why am I crying..?'
She asked herself , she slowly touched the liquid on her cheek. She was confused , and soon memories of the dream left her mind. She couldn't recall the whole scene. All she knows is that she promised to come back.
'Why didn't I ask for his name?!'
Swann kept smacking her forehead for being stupid. A knock was heard from the door and Swann wiped her tears quickly.
"Come in"
The servant entered and bowed to Swann.
"My Lady , please dress up for school. Breakfast is waiting. And , both masters aren't present. Their on a business trip for a month. "
Swann's eyes brighten as she heard the good news. A month without nuisance , isn't that amazing? Anyways , Swann nodded and the servant left the room. Swann started preparing for the morning. She checked the time and saw that it was a little bit early.
She wore a black sports bra and black jogging pants. She went down and informed the servants that she'll take a jog at the park for a minute.
She headed outside and starting jogging to the park. She admired nature's beauty as she kept jogging. Suddenly , her heart started beating fast. She didn't know why but she bumped into a man. Irritated , she looked at him with fierce eyes.
"What the hell are you-?!"
As soon as Swann laid her eyes on him , her heart felt like it wanted to jump out of her chest. She looked at the man's face and saw that it was King , the temporary student. She just stared at him and then he talks.
"Are you okay? Sorry if I bumped into you , I was looking down for a second"
He lended her a hand and Swann accepted it. King scanned her and noticed that she was a familiar face.
"Swann? Oh , I'm so sorry!"
He started apologizing even more and Swann chuckled. Swann looked at him and smiled happily.
"It's okay. I wasn't paying attention either"
King felt like he was just attacked by the cutest animal in the world to where he don't mind being attacked by it. King blushed madly.
"R-Right.. I'm gonna go now.. Bye"
King hurriedly left and Swann chuckled. Swann then realized that she just smiled. She smiled honestly and her heart kept beating fast when he was around. Swann was a stranger to this certain feeling , she didn't want to admit it. She ignored her actions and jog to the household.
She ate breakfast and wore her school uniform. Same cycle again except the fact that she keeps stealing glances from King.
It was unusual of her and she didn't know whether she hates this feeling or loves it.
But , unusually..
King and that mysterious man made me feel the exact same way.
Is there a connection..?
