Chapter 19: Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

The school library was a sanctuary of quiet and peaceful, a stark contrast to the bustling hallways, lively classrooms and the rowdy football field. Perse found solace in the rows of books, the faint smell of old paper, and the soft rustling of pages turning. Maya hated the library though, which made it the perfect place for Perse to go to everytime she was trying to avoid her. Lucky for her, it was also the perfect place for focused study sessions.

She had arranged to meet Asher there after school to help him with history. Despite the tension with Josh which left a bitter taste in her mouth and an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach, she was determined to keep her promise to Asher.
