Seraphina's POV
I had expected this.
At some point, I knew Iris Aurelian was going to show up at Elysium, possibly in my class as a new student since she was supposed to be my age, but I didn't think it would happen in just over forty-eight hours. That was way too fast.
I sat stiffly in my seat, watching as she stood at the front of the class, her expression unreadable. She had that air of quiet confidence, the kind that demanded attention without effort. The kind that made people curious, especially in a school like this, where status and intrigue were everything.
As soon as Mrs. Hilfiger introduced her, my body tensed in anticipation.
'Please don't sit beside me. Please don't sit beside me.'
I wasn't interested in being seatmates with her, not when she was clearly trouble waiting to happen. If she and Hunter really had a connection in this reality like Electra suspected, I wanted nothing to do with her.
And the worst part? We looked too similar.
