Stolen Heart, Endless Dream

CHAPTER 3

I turned my back from him to see who is the guy talking to me. To my suprised, I saw a charming young man with a dazzling soldier uniform. But I'm not sure what kind of soldied he is. 'Well, I must admit, the manis quite handsome.'

'So, my lady. Can I have this next dance?" His voice once again suprised me from my thought that I, now not realised his face was on right in front of me. "Well, my lord. May I know the reason of all the sudden invitation? Among all the young women present here, all those hyenas eyes who had set on you, why me? I brazenly asked him without flattering my eyes.

I noticed that he had a slightly changed on his face expression. Or must I say, flustered by my words. 'He, flustered? Oh my. This is just a bit for a offences.' I thought as I took a bite a piece of pie in my plate that was still on my hand, safetly.

"My lady. Among these young women, I noticed you at a first sight, the moment you stepped on this hall, alone. Without any chaperone. May I know, who you come with?" He asked again, ignoring me trying to ignored him.

"Excuse me for my rudeness. My name is Hazel. Hazel Swan. I came here with my family. You do know my father, is it?" I asked and the looked in his eyes, should I said, sparkled with excitement. He nodded and put out his best smile.

I looked at him and I saw his dimple on his right cheek, making his smile looked attractive for a man. "So, you are the daughter of Lord Swan. Now, I know who you are." As he looked away and still had that smile on his face.

I noticed myself never looked away even once because I'm too focused on his dimple on his right cheek. "I guess there's something on my face that made you never stop looking at me, my lady. May I know what it is?" 'Damn, Hazel. I didn't realised myself stating at him that much.' I can feel my cheeks burned red, embarrassed on my behalf.

"I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't realised that myself." I looked away, praying that he didn't looked at my red face. "I must say, my lady, you look quite cute when you're blushing like that." He chuckled and I hit his shoulder softly, still embarrassed of my actions.

He then turned his back on me and slowly walked away. "Sorry, my lady. But I must take my leave now." What? Just like that? I'm flabbergasted by his unexpected actions. First, he came to me-unannouced. Now, he lefted just like that? What is wrong with that guy.

I''m about to take my second plate when I suddenly felt a hand grabbed my arms and turned me around to face him.

+++Present Day++++

Last night, it wasn't like a dream anymore. Because it feels real - like it's really happening before. And I'm not sure why those dreams keep coming to me. The face, the people, everything are still the same as the present. Except Him- the young man in my dream. I'm pretty sure I know him somewhere, but I can't recall who is he.

Who are you? Are you even exist in this life timeline? Are you a real person? Since the dream that I'm having always came creeping to me, I noticed something. It's not repeated. Usually, when you're having a dream, and it happened to be the same dream, it is repeating. Like you're in a loop.

But this dream that I'm having, is not a repeating one. It is continuously. Like an episode of a series. It keep on continue, continuing the previous dream that not yet finished.

+++Taylor Swift - Wildest Dream playing in the background+++

Say you'll remember me,
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe,
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again,
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ha.
Wildest dream, ah-ha,ha.

I can't stop myself from not singing that iconic verse of Taylor while getting ready to school. Today is Friday, and gonna be a hectic day - I know because this is the last day of the week, and of course - homeworks. Teachers and homeworks are inseparable. They always give us plenty of homeworks and submit them in the next class.

Not whinning, but can't help myself from thinking of it. In a few months, there'll be exams for the semester. So, I can't be mad of the teachera to give out as many homeworks as they should be. I now accept my faith.

I smiled without realising that Jesse is standing right in front of me. "Watch your steps, my lady," and he walk away. Without turning back, and me still puzzle by his sudden remarks. My lady? I don't misheard him, right? Right?! I panic and try to find my way to class.

My lady? Those words keep lingering in the back of my mind. Did he said that on purpose? Or he did not? Urgh!

"Yes, Miss Swan? Is there anything you want to share for your friends here? You seems like you have a lot to say." Mdm.Rachel suddenly calling out my name, making me realises that all the eyes are on me.

"No,Mdm.Rachel. You may continue with your lesson. Sorry, for disturbing." I apologise and turn my eyes back to my book. Mdm. Rachel nod and continue with her lesson. I feels there's an eye looking at me from behind but I got no strength to look who it is.

"That's all for today. And don't forget, that I need all of you to finish it before me class next week. I have made a list for a group of two for my next assignment. You can check it here after this." Mdm. Rachel leave the class and let the paper she mentioned before sit still on the table.

Everybody including me run to the table in front and looking up for my name. I found it on the 12nd row and my partner 'you-know-who', Jesse Howard.

Isn't he's in senior year? Why is he in my class? I walk up to him. "Hey, we're partner." I said and he just look straight at me and leave the classroom. What the hell is wrong with him?

What a long day.
