Those eyes.
Those liquid silver eyes.
There's no way I could forget those eyes. I spent hours after the dream thinking about them. This girl has the same silver eyes as the girl from the dream.
What the hell! How is this even possible?

I was determined to finish the exam as soon as I could. That was easier said than done. My mind was in two directions. The test questions and the girl. I was curious and confused about the girl. I also felt irritated with myself. Why am I so intrigued by a simple girl? Especially on test day. I don't know anything about her except that she reminds me of the dream girl. And that she walks with a cane and wears gloves. She wears gloves in the middle of summer. What's up with that? Stop! You have a test to take. Focus. Focus. Focus.
Miraculously, I was the second person to finish the test. Only 15 minutes before the official end time. After giving my booklet to the examiner, I practically dashed out of the classroom in pursuit of the girl. I found her a few seconds later in the hallway, slowly making her way to the obstacle course. She moved to the side to allow me passage, but I was determined to receive answers.
She acknowledged me first. "May I help you?" she asked politely.
I saw her eyes then and there was no mistaking it. Those gleaming silver eyes.
I proceeded to question her. She claimed she didn't recognize me, and I almost wanted to believe her. However, I knew something was off. She was keeping her guard up. She was wary of me. It was very subtle but her body language revealed her true feelings. Not convinced yet, I interrogated her further.
Hanada Selene.
Selene.
Meaning moon. Moonlight.
Very apt name. Her eyes make me think of a silver moon.
Her name is pretty, too.
I noticed she said her first name with a British accent and learned that she lived in England for most of her life. She only came back to Japan a few months ago.
To lower her guard, I continued the conversation about England and Japan. I was going to ask her about the cane and gloves when I noticed we had reached the obstacle course.

I'll ask her later. There's definitely more to her than a polite, elegant girl. She's mysterious.
And I want to solve the mystery that is Hanada Selene.
