Holden’s ears perked up at the noise, and without a second thought, he grabbed Elysia’s hand and they were off like a shot.

Seeing them bolt, the girls let out a collective scream. “It’s Holden! It’s really Holden!” They were on their heels in a flash, chasing after the direction the two had left.

Elysia was puzzled, thinking, ‘Why’s this dude dragging me along? Those girls are all over him. He could’ve just split. Why drag me into this? Now I’m caught up in his sprint! What gives?

But she knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on it. They had to shake the group hot on their trail.

Holden wasn’t sure why he was clutching Elysia’s hand as they ram. Maybe it was the fear that if he let go, he’d never bump into her again. There was something about Elysia that made him feel like he’d found a long–lost piece of himself.

‘Could it be that I’m subconsciously confusing her with Evelyn?‘ Holden wondered. He glanced back at Elysia, but he quickly looked away after just a peek.

Up ahead, Elysia spotted a lecture hall and figured it was likely deserted at the moment. She gave a firm tug on the guy in front of her and said, “Come with me.”

Elysia led him to hide around a corner, waiting until the group chasing them had passed by. Once she was sure the coast was clear and the lecture hall was empty, they slipped inside.

As soon as they entered, Elysia dropped down onto the floor, panting, “Are you some kind of celeb?”

Holden chuckled at her words, plopping down next to her and taking off his hat and mask. It was then that Elysia got a good look at his face. She had to admit he was pretty good–looking.

“My name’s Holden Evans,” Holden said, his voice steady.

Elysia shook her head, unimpressed. “Never heard of you. But seriously, why’d you drag me along?”

Holden was taken aback. He hadn’t expected her to ask that. He wasn’t sure how to explain.

He thought to himself, ‘Should I tell her that I was afraid I might never run into her again, so I had to pull her with me? That sounds pretty lame. Plus, she might think I’m some kind of creeper.

Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Elysia sighed and said, “Forget it. If you don’t want to say, I don’t need to know.”
