Blare's P.O.V.
I felt chills creeping on my spine because of someone speaking, when I just spoke to Efimia no one would know what he told me, I was nervous when I turn around and then see that it was Persephone who was standing behind me before I turn around and who was just staring at me.
"Who likes who, Blare?" She asked and I felt my tongue get tied as I tried to think about what I'm going to say, should I say the truth which is the right thing to do but I can't break my promise to Efimia or lie which can make her lose her trust in me when she finds out.
Why? Because I have observed her enough to know that she likes Efimia and she knows that the person she likes, likes someone else who is her friend.
Without me realizing I have spoken a lie that I know I would be guilty afterward.
"Well...he li-kes her" I stutter, even having my words not clear so I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat before speaking again "I mean, Ethan likes Mia, right?"
