Sofia’s POV
Ariella hadn’t stopped talking since we left the infirmary.
She walked beside me, waving her hands dramatically. “You can’t just faint at a park and expect us not to ask questions, Sof! What actually happened? Do you even realize we missed a paper.”
Kelly joined in almost immediately. “Yeah, and who was that guy who came to pick you up? He looked like he came straight out of some secret agency.”
I tried to keep my voice steady. “He’s just a friend.”
“A friend who barges into the infirmary like he owns the place?” Ariella raised a brow. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Chelsea, who’d been walking quietly beside me, said nothing. More like she was still processing everything she’d seen. I kept glancing at her, hoping she wouldn’t suddenly blurt out the truth.
