I slowly open my eyes and rub them...

I get off my bed to get dressed. It's the same uniform as yesterday.

Today is my second day of school and I'm already tired of it. I put my uniform on and go to the washroom to wash my face with a wet tissue. I watch the hour, it's five and thirty in the morning. I have time to play on the violin in the lower room

The lower room is supposed to be for my 'siblings' but at 5 o'clock they're never here and nobody but the maids are already awake.

And the maids are occupied doing some other things like cleaning and anyway they can't enter this room.

So I go down the big stairs and make sure that nobody is here. I go to the the room and enter.

It's a big room with plenty of materials to practice. I go to the place reserved for music and take a violin.

I wax the strings and I place the violin in my hand and place the bow to prepare to play. And I took a little glance to the partition I took before, and that I never played before, it was a completely unknown song for me.

And then, I start moving the bow on the string and moving my fingers on the strings making a sound I adore.

I did the notes indicated on the partition and the song was formed. It was a difficult music to play but I was able to do it easily. My fingers were running on the strings and my right hand directing the bow was moving effortlessly. I was performing without worrying about anything else, I was following the partition and sometime my fingers were not following my head but it was sounding as if the music had been written like that.

The sound produced by the instrument was completely mesmerizing, I always loved the sound of the violin.

Before I knew it, the song was coming to an end. I made the last note.

It was so good to just play without having to fulfill a goal. Unlike in my past life, where I was so stressed to just miss one note even if nobody would had notice it. I was like a robot, I was playing automatically and there was not a single emotion in it.

I put down the violin and watched my watch. It was time to leave before Abele come in my bedroom and notice that I'm not there anymore...

I returned in my room and went back in my bed. Some min after, Abele came in my room and started 'waking me up' by opening the gigantic window and the curtains that goes with it.

"Good morning master Cami" she made me a gentle smile

"Good morning Abele~" I replied with the same smile

She giggled "it's still weird to see you acting so gentle and kind. It's as if you are a completely different person"

"Haha..."

"Anyway, master Cami, why are you still in your uniform? Did you forgot to change your clothes yesterday?"

Oh- I shouldn't have put my uniform so early... I could have gone play the violin in my pyjama.

"Right... I forgot to change..." I made an awkward laugh

Oh god!! Why am I so bad at lying??

"Well anyway you just have to take a new uniform. We will take care of washing this one. "

I took an other uniform and put it on.

*I have the same uniform multiples time*

I went at the dining room and, again, all the 'family' was there at the table. It was really awkward.

The only sound you could hear was the metallic noise of the plates with forks and knifes.

I started eating when my dad started talking.

"This morning I heard someone playing violin in the practice room, it was amazing with a lot of control and worthy of a professional. Is it you Lindie? Or Theodore? I don't really care who played this but I want this person to know that they have an extraordinary talent and I'm honored to teach such prodigies. " I choked on my food when I heard it

Others all stared at me with disappoint looks like I had interrupt a super important meeting

I blushed from embarrassment and a little "sorry"

I took my plate and left the table without eating more. Abele followed me outside of the room and I got to the cook to give them my plate myself.

They got really confused on why I was bringing it myself and even started to be scared to death with my abnormal comportement asking themself if I was going to kill them. I just left them confused and got to my room to rinse my mouth before leaving for school.

...

I was now in school. But... how am I gonna find Killian? I got a bit panicked but luckily I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Killian.

"Ah- you're here Killian I was searching you!"

"Come. We will start in business class like yesterday"                  "Ok"

I followed him and we arrived at the class. We sat down

...at the lunchtime...

"Aahh- it's sot tiring school! I feel like the classes are taking 3 hours each!!" I complained with myself...

I opened the box Abele made me and savored each bites of it. I was eating at the same place as yesterday. At the foot of a tree, with plenty of trees around, it was not a forest but there was multiples trees here and the atmosphere was calm.

I finished my lunch and watch the time. I had still one hour left before my next class.

I took out one of my book in my bag and started to read it.

It's the story of a person having two person in one body. One is sane and the other as desire of su*c*de so they have to constantly battle themself to live/die. In fact the book is a lot more complex. All that scenery is to represent the battle someone in despair have to fight each days in wanting to live and wanting to die...

It actually remind me a little bit of my situation because technically I have to deal with the situation the original Cami put himself in.

That's why I choose this book.

Suddenly I heard noise of leaves as if something was moving in the leaves of the tree. I got a little scared because I thought it might attack me.

The 'thing' that was in the trees suddenly fell not far from me which caused me a mini heart attack.

When I looked at the 'thing', I saw that it was not a 'thing' but a human...

He wasn't moving

"Hey! You-you're okay??" I asked with a little bit of fear

It didn't respond

I repeated my question but it still didn't reply

"A-are you dead??" He didn't respond

I took a wooden stick and pocked the body with hesitation.

It didn't moved. I got really scared he might really have died so I got my finger below his nose and he was still breathing

I sighed in relief

I tried taking him on my back to go to the infirmary but he was too heavy.

"Uhhh— you know you're really annoying!? I try to sleep since earlier but you won't let me be in peace!! Just continue to read you book and let me be!"  Uh-...UUHHH!!!???? What! He was awake since earlier!!??

"W-what-" he was trying to sleep... in this position?? Wth is his problem!!?? And why is he annoyed at me when it's him who disturbed me!!

"You could go somewhere else sleep!! Why did you choose here and why didn't you respond to me!!??" I was really mad and annoyed

"YOU can go somewhere else to read!! And I told you before that I was trying to sleep! Someone who sleep wouldn't have respond!"

"So you think I would have just left if suddenly someone had fell from the trees?? What is this logic! I thought you were death! And when I think I tried to help you..." who is he by the way??

"Well... yes. Each time I do this, people just leave to avoid any problem" he replied with an oblivious tone

"Ah...well anyway you could have replied to me earlier and you made me have a mini heart attack when you fell so I want an apology!"

"Ok,ok... sorry for that."                                 He continued talking    "Ah- anyway, I think I saw you before. Do we know each other?"

"Well, probably I'm the infamous jerk of the school, Harrion!" I said with a dramatic tone

"Ugh- yeah I know you... I feel dirty that you touched me. But, I heard you lost your memory is it true?" I think it would have been better if he had died finally...

"Yeah it's true, and no I didn't lie to have attention before you ask me..."

"Wow! You read in my mind or what? It was the question I was about to ask" yes...yes I know...

"Well anyway you sure you ok? You fell from a tree and by the way why were you even in the trees??"

"Wait- you're really concerned about me?? Wow!! I never felt so weird before! Haha-" weird...

"Yes and will you respond to my questions??" I'm really annoyed by him

"Thanks! I'm ok don't worry and I was actually eating in the tree it's one of my favorite place because no one can find me and I can be lonely!"

He smiled at me

Ok... he might be really weird and detestable but I'm not gonna lie he is like really handsome...

We continued to talk for the rest of the lunch and actually we are going to meet here tomorrow again.

He's really weird and detestable but actually we get along really well.

...After the classes finished...

Ok! Now I have to try remember what is the way to the secret room!

After 30 min of searching I finally started to recognize details I had memorized yesterday so I just followed them and I found the room!!

I'm so smart...

This time I brought an apron with me to paint...

I started by tracing line with a pencil

I had to erased a few times but finally I decided to make a scenery where a little girl is dancing with her shadow.

When I finished tracing I put my apron and prepared my paint shelf to put some paint on it

I took my brush and dipped it in the first color. And then I graciously moved my hand on the canvas. Little move by little move I was forming a face, then a background and then a smile.

*3rd point of view*

On the corner of the room, little flowers started to grow and bloom.

There was a single man letting his hand danced on the canvas and as if it was the man that was painting the scenery, beauty and grace started to enhance the room. The canvas seemed to take life and gorgeous flower were growing around the male and his masterpiece.

Cami was satisfied with the scenery he created in the canvas and in the room too.

*1st pov*

I will stop here and started to tidy my things, I progressed a lot more than what I think I would have.

I watched the plants in the room, it was masterpiece in itself. I can sense my emotion I had while painting in the air. It's probably my magic, representation of my sentiments by the atmosphere and plant growing, or something like that. It's so cool!!

I arranged my things and left. Giving a last glance at the thing I created. I was really proud of myself.

I walked away and after some times I found the way out of the school and found Abele waiting for me.

We got home and just like yesterday, I washed myself and went to sleep.
