He was nowhere on campus.
I had carelessly gone to his home. After knocking on his door and waiting for hours, a neighbor took pity on me and told me he hadn't been home all weekend.
It was like he had disappeared.
My trembling fingers fumbled through my contacts, and I searched with a thin hope, praying that I'd saved his cousin's number.
olivia.
Found it.
I called the number immediately.
Every second made me more anxious. And when the ringing stopped and she hadn't picked up, my heart dropped.
Still, I called again. I was almost out of hope when I heard her voice.
"Hello."
"Olivia?"
There was silence from her end. Only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity.
"Yes?"
I didn't know I was holding my breath until I let out a sigh.
"It's Alora."
"What do you want?" I hadn't expected her to be curt with me, but I didn't read anything into it. Maybe I caught her at a bad time.
"I was wondering if you knew where Luke was. They said he quit."
