"Are you really going to join the swimming club?" Via asked Serena, Gizel, and Milly. The four of them were already sitting in class while waiting for Teacher Grace to arrive.

"Of course! How can we not?" Gizel answered her cousin in an offended tone, as if not joining is the gravest mistake she can make in life.

"It would be nice if you were to join us too." Serena added.

While looking around the campus yesterday, Serena was able to assess that joining the swimming club is the most beneficial in the morning. First, it is strategically located below the mezzanine where the fencing club is. Thus, if she wanted to see Charlton, she just needs to look up, or him down if he wants to see her. Second, when will she get the chance to show more skin to him if not when wearing a swimsuit? Thankfully, even though they are in a Victorian-esque era, swimwear for women is not a bathing gown. Rather, reminisce of the "Annette Kellerman", it is a one-piece swimsuit that is sleeve-less, form fitting, and reaches mid-thigh.

"I can't wait to wear the swimsuit! If my parents were to find out, I don't know what they will do to me. But I just can't help it! When I saw the picture yesterday, it already exceeded my desire to wear the school uniform!" Milly added, having stars on her eyes.

"I just can't. Apologies, I rather choose to join archery. Let's just see each other during music club." Via said frowning.

The rest of the day yesterday was spent with the girls. They went to her room making oohs and aahs, saying that she must have the best room in the dorm. Thus, she was not able to 'unexpectedly' meet Charlton. She also realized that Leonard did not visit her. However, she knows that it will not be easy to meet them even when they are in the same campus given their different schedules.

"Good morning everyone. Please pass this paper around and write the name of the clubs you will be joining at the two columns beside your name." Grace said as she placed her materials on the teachers table. This time, she started giving the paper at the girl sitting in front beside the door.

When the paper reached Serena, she looked at Emily's name. Just like in the novel, Emily joined Polo and Music. Previously, Serena joined the same and was outshined in both. Geoffrey was also part of the Polo club and that was the reason why Serena joined it. However, instead of her hope for romantic encounters coming to fruition, it backfired on her. Serena, being the prima donna that she was, can't even mount a horse on her own. She even detests riding or being near a horse for she hates its smell. Most of the people joining polo were fond of horses and seeing her being too nitpicky did not leave a good impression. Aside from that, beginners like her were separated from skilled riders. Thus, she had suffered half a year for nothing but foul stench and a bad reputation.

After everyone was done writing on the paper, lessons started for the day. The tables had a compartment under it in which the books of each student were placed.

Serena was glad to discover that only the subjects History and Geography were different. Mathematics was just basic algebra. Economics was too easy as that was her major in her previous life, reading well, meh... it's just actually simple logic, and biology, well although she hated that subject it's still bearable. The initial pressure she felt in going back to school was quickly forgotten. 'I can just breeze through this' Serena thought with a smile.

The days passed quickly and soon it was Friday. The day before, she with Gizel and Milly bought their swimsuit. Unlike the school uniform that is custom made, the swimsuit has a prototype and was just distinguished by small, medium, and large size.

"Milady, the 3 Misses is outside waiting for you." Beatrice said after knocking on the bedroom. Serena was looking at the mirror wearing her swimsuit at that time.

"oh, alright, please let them in." Serena answered. 'Wow, I'm so beautiful and sexy. Can I now be considered a siren?' she thought as she blinked and blew a kiss on the mirror.

When she was properly dressed, she went outside her bedroom to see her friends.

"Let's go Serena, we'll be late if you take any longer." Milly said excitedly. Finally, she was able to wear it under her clothes, and later she will be able to show it off.

The four of them first sent via to the archery grounds. She was surprised to see Leonard there. She has not seen him after the school assembly. Leonard seeing Serena approached her first.

"Good morning Serena." Leonard said as he lightly nodded at her friends. "How have you been these days?"

"I'm doing fine brother Leonard. By the way, these are my friends, Via, Gizel and Milly." Serena said sweetly.

"Good morning, thank you for taking care of my sister" Leonard said politely. "What are you doing here? Are you also joining archery?"

"No, we're just sending Via here. Gizel, Milly and I are joining the swimming club."

Leonard frowned. 'did I hear her right? Swimming? She must have been influenced by these so-called friends of hers.'

"well, which art club did you join?" Serena asked off handedly, she knows that he is part of the music club together with his 3 friends.

"Music. How about you?"

"Same, we'll see each other after lunch then. Anyways, see you later brother... we'll go ahead" Serena said with a smile.

"Alright. See you later."

While walking towards the swimming club, Milly and Gizel started squealing. "

"Serena! Your brother is so dreamy! If I knew that there's a man as handsome as that in archery, I would've joined Via just to see him. Huhu! I'm starting to regret it now." Gizel whined.

"I agree, but then again, I won't be able to wear the swimsuit if I made that choice. Hopefully, we can see more handsome guys in swimming class. I can already imagine their bare chests!" Milly said as she wiggled her brows.

"Haha! Don't worry Gizel, we'll see him later during music class. Besides, Milly is right." Serena said with a mischievous grin. 'I too can't wait to see Charlton's expression when he sees me, well, hopefully.'

Not long after, they arrived at the swimming venue. They went to the locker room to change.

"Oh my, Serena, I thought I will be the best-looking gal wearing a swimsuit but look at you! I don't know if I should laugh or cry at myself!" Milly said with a pout. Wearing the swimsuit, Milly was very fetching. Her voluptuous body almost making the swimsuit scandalous. However, with Serena beside her, she would still pale in comparison.

Serena has alabaster white skin which compliments the navy color of their swimsuit. Her body was curvaceous at all the right places.

"The title school goddess does not fail you, if I were to imagine the goddess Aphrodite, your picture now would come to mind." Gizel said smilingly.

"Well, rightfully so, I didn't eat dinner last night and breakfast earlier just to achieve this look!" Serena said while laughing.

"Well, that at least gives me much consolation." Milly said good naturedly.
