I woke up in a frenzy, I know today's my day. I have absolutely no idea why, but I just know this feeling, this feeling never failed me.

After showering, I stared at my closet still in my bathrobe

"Ahhh I've got nothing to wear again!" I told myself looking to a full closet.

I decided to wear a white blouse and a black pencil skirt almost like a uniform in a private school. I even thought to myself that I look good in it.

I went on my way to the bus stop and sat on the waiting shed, there was no one there which I find amusing. Usually there's a lot of people waiting for their bus the same time as I do.

I glanced at my watch,
"7:46 AM".

"The bus should be right here any minute now," I sighed looking at the road.

"Since I still got some time, I'll message my friends good morning," I thought optimistically.

I greeted all my friends good morning now and still the bus hasn't arrived yet. I'm now really getting anxious. I even considered walking to the campus if the bus won't arrive in 5 minutes.

Trying to calm myself, I looked down, breathing slowly. Then my hand resting on the bench felt a spark that sent chills to my body.Next thing I know, I'm staring into the deepest blue eyes I've seen. I stared at him for much longer and started to realize he might get uncomfortable of my gaze.

"Ahh I-I am sorry," I tried to smile, still embarrassed.

"The road's really clear today," he said loudly.

I have no idea if he's initiating a conversation or just warming out the awkwardness, normally I'll get along with people but for some reason I'm so awkward today. I then sat straight and started to get myself together again.

"Yeah..." I replied after A MINUTE of getting lost in my thoughts!

"Nevermind, it's here," he giggled to himself.

The bus finally opened the door and he gave me a pout pointing towards the door, signalling me to go in first, so I did.

I picked a seat near the window, he sat beside me which made my heart race even faster.

"Did he just really sat next to me?" I thought to myself.

There was a deafening minute of silence until finally he spoke again, "I never saw you before."

"Yeah it's because I came early today to go to the library and do some research before my class starts," I explained looking outside.

The distance between us felt so near yet so far, I can hear his breathing, that made me wonder if he can also hear my heart racing.

"Such a beautiful coincidence, we should see each other more," he smirked slightly.

"Maybe it's destiny..." I whispered still looking outside but I could only find myself looking at his reflection from the window.

"I'm Mikhail," he moved to the side and gave his hand introducing himself.

"Raine," I spoke softly and reaching out for his hands.

"Whoa... did you felt that?!" A wide smile broke out on his face while talking about the spark when our hands touched. His eyes shined lightly and I felt a sudden rise in the temperature as heat flowed to my cheeks making me blush. All these, his eyes smiling with a glow and his lips forming an ark, made me even more confused. I never felt this before, what is this feeling?

It's like I've known him all my life.

Still staring into my eyes the man spoke,
"Will we meet again?"

"If it's His will, then it shall be," I jokingly said never breaking the eye contact.

He then pointed out to my wrist onto the tulip bracelet.

"You like tulips?"

"Yeahh, it reminds me of peace."

"You'll love it at Holland, I'd like to take you there."

"Why?"

"There's a tulip field in Holland, you'll love it I swear."

"If you say you'll take me, then I'd go only if you'll be my guide."

"I could be more than that," he smiled looking down.

I noticed it's my stop, so I pressed the button and said my goodbye. Walking to the fountain, I then noticed that he's behind me.

"Raine, let's have lunch later," he said running to me.

"How?" I gave a confused look.

"Give me your phone," he insisted still smiling. I noticed he went to my contacts and added his, naming it "Mikhail". I quickly grabbed the phone and changed it to "Bleu".

"Bleu?" he asked confusedly still smiling to me.

"Your eyes are blue soooo..." I tried to explain then I called his number, his phone began to rang and he answered it saying, "Hey there, Tulip! I'll see you later." He later dropped the call and looked at me smiling, while changing my caller ID to "My Tulip".

"Quite fast aren't we?" I teased slightly hitting his arm.
,
Talking to him made it feel as if I known him my whole life. His eyes, mesmerizing as the sea those same blue eyes stared at me with warmth. His eyes weren't the only captivating but the man itself that owned it. He was wearing a uniform, the uniform I thought I'd seen it before. His masculine, tall and strong figure all noticeable. With an aura of authority, still his presence made the surrounding warm and light.

His face calm and comforting, his touch almost embracing as his eyes calling me softly. This man, Mikhail, Bleu, who is he?
