I have one text from Xavier and four from Dia.
Xavier:Who was it? They’re fucking dead.
A bitter laugh cuts through my pain. I must be delirious because I actually text him back for the first time in a week.
Aveena:Ask your mom.
The three dots pop on the screen, informing me that he’s answering, but I select my conversation with Dia so that I’m not tempted to text him again.
Dia:Are you okay? Xav said you left crying?
Dia: I’m worried.
Dia:This is about the confessions, isn’t it?
Dia: Vee, I want to help, but I can’t do that unless you tell me what’s going on.
I type a quick reply.
Aveena:They asked me to tell them Zac’s identity or I’d lose my scholarship.
Dia: Why didn’t you tell them? He’s just some guy you met at the library.
I sniffle and cradle my knees to my chest.
I can’t keep lying anymore.
She shoots me another text before I can reply.
It’s time,a voice in my head whispers.
Dia: He’s just some rando. Right??
Aveena: Wrong.
