Suspicions

India, July 29th 1801

Lukas was in the canteen sitting at a table with Meera and the other girls.

Whereas the girls seemed pretty relaxed and to be in a good mood, Lukas was visibly worried with what Saanvi had told him.

Lukas just sighed internally. 'If Saanvi tells it to anyone... no, it wouldn't make sense to tell me what she knows if that were that the case! Anyway, the point is: how in the world does she know I'm a boy? Did I make it look too obvious?' he wondered, completely worried. 

Meanwhile, Aarya noticed Lukas's anxiety, and looked at him. "Is everything okay, Luka?" she asked with her brow raised.

After Aarya asked that, all the other girls turned their looks to Lukas. 'God damnit! If I was already nervous, then this will just make it worse!' he thought, not knowing what to do.

When Lukas was about to lose control, he clenched his fist under the table, and took a deep breath.
