Levitation

Kiara's POV

As soon as Lucius left, confirming that Elena was fine, she turned to me with a smirk that spelled trouble. Her golden eyes gleamed mischievously, and I just knew she was about to say something ridiculous.

"You do know Esther and Athena were close, right?" she began, folding her arms with a dramatic sigh. "Like, bestie level close. Ride-or-die type."

I raised an eyebrow, cautiously nodding. "Uh… yeah? What's your point?"

Elena flicked her perfectly styled hair over her shoulder, giving me a knowing look. "Well, that just means we are destined to be besties too."

I blinked. "What?"

She waved a hand like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Think about it! You're Athena, I was Esther, our souls are connected, blah blah blah. Basically, you don't have a choice."

I narrowed my eyes. "Are you saying I'm forced to be your friend?"

"Yes."

"…Fair enough."
