Chiara
My heart thunders in my chest as I see Vedant run past me. I shrink further into my seat, trying to make myself as small as possible. I glance nervously at the purple hat sitting beside me before grabbing it and shoving it into my bag.
Vedant has no reason to think that Iris and I are the same person, but something in my gut is screaming at me not to let him see me. I wrack my brain as I think of something to do. The Felix I know, the Vedant, won’t give up until he finds what he’s looking for.
I pull out my phone and send off a quick text, hoping it will be enough to discourage Vedant’s search.
Iris: We shouldn’t try to see each other in the future.
I hold my breath as Vedant begins to turn back in my direction. I can’t let him see me here now. What if he connects the dots.
