Chapter THIRTEEN

  Avilla’s pov

  “Avilla, why don’t you tell us a little bit about you?” Camilla suggested

  I didn’t want to say anything, not out loud at least. I didn’t want to stutter and make a complete fool of myself in front of him, I don’t even know his name yet.

  I saw him mouth my name from the corner of my eyes and it brought a tingling sensation in my body, I wanted him saying the name out loud instead of mouthing it.

  I looked up and everybody’s eyes were on me, even his. It was quite the pressure

  “I am Avilla, just moved here to town and I turn 18 tomorrow. My parents died recently and that is why I had to move here, to start afresh.” I said in one breath.

  “I am so sorry for your loss, girl” Camilla said while grabbing onto one of my hands and giving it a reassuring squeeze with a sad look in her eyes.
