We stared at each other: both stunned at what the other person had said. "If you're here to meet Hazel then how come your in the Winter gardens and not in the Autumn gardens?" Iris asked.
"It's a long story." I replied. "It's clear we're both here to meet people we're not supposed to." "I'm here to see Hazel because I want to talk to her about an author who writes books that we both adore," I admitted
"Ugh I feel like I'm bound to the truth, I might as well tell you anyway: I'm here because I've fallen in love with Drift..," Iris confessed.
I knew that Iris could never have feelings for me nor could I have for her but this can never work. "A Summer leader can never love a Winter leader. It's against the law of the clans," I yelled. "But isn't that why you're here because you've fallen for Hazel?" Iris questioned. " NO, we're just friends, stop making excuses! I was really shouting now. Iris fell to her knees and started sobbing. I was sorry for what I did but time was ticking by and I needed to talk to Hazel. I felt bad but I had to go: I ran off into the distance as I left Iris crying on the ground.
