As I rushed out and ran toward the row of potted plants, I found nothing there. I stood there in confusion, knowing it wasn’t just my imagination.

Ryan suddenly appeared beside me. “Want some company for a walk?”

“Which part are you referring to? If it’s something related to me, I’ll help you recall it.” He looked at me with a smile.

I shook my head. “No, it’s from when I was younger. I remember everything with you, like when we first met in the teacher’s office. My dad asked Mr. Thomas to tutor me in physics.”

“Ah, yes, in Mr. Thomas’s office. You were wearing your school uniform and looked different from the others. Your hair was dark, your eyes were big, and you had long eyelashes. Some classmates started calling you Lash Princess.”
