Chapter Eleven

The only thing I know for sure is that the note came from another student. If a teacher knew, I’d already be in questioning. I ask my friends at dinner on Saturday evening if they told anyone about the escape, but they all shrug and look just as confused as I feel.

I’m jumpy all day every day as the term wears on, and I can’t help but look around with thinly veiled suspicion. Who sent me the note? Who are they going to tell? I try my best to go about my days as normal, but I’m far too jumpy. Desireé wouldn’t be much help, so I don’t tell her about the mysterious note. There’s no point in putting even more on her shoulders then she already has.

At the end of our fourth week of classes, Gabriel says, “Today will be our first day going to Earth.”

I tense, and I glance around furtively to see if anybody is watching me while we all stand in the infirmary to prepare for our trip. They aren’t paying me any mind, but a few of them do look nervous. I take Nicolai’s hand, though mine is sweaty with anxiety. No matter what, I need a friend by my side right now. It’s all I can do not to throw up.

When I blink, we’re still together, fingers intertwined, but we’re standing in the middle of an expansive living room. Everything is far too dark, and I have to blink a few times to convince my eyes to adjust.

In Heaven, everything is so bright that it almost hurts, so both times I’ve returned to Earth, it seems way darker than should make sense.

Sunlight streams in through the blinds, and I avoid taking a breath. The warehouse had been rancid, and I don’t want to find out if Earth just smells terrible to me now. Better to just not breathe.

“There are changes of clothing for you upstairs,” Gabriel says. “You have five minutes.”

All the female students crowd into a huge master bedroom, changing from our silky-smooth school uniforms into normal clothes that itch when we put them on. I have to do a couple of squats to put on the high-waisted skinny jeans that had been in the pile with my name on top.

When we meet back downstairs, Gabriel explains the procedure. “We will just be doing some basic reconnaissance. This is your first test. You all remember what it’s like to be human, so just try to not look too suspicious.

I nod, and when I actually take a moment to look at Nicolai, I’m shocked to find that his hair is no longer snow white, but pale blonde. I smile. It looks adorable on him. That’s when I begin to realize that everyone has a wide range of hair colors, from Daniel’s long black braid to my now dark blonde hair.

“How many of you can drive?” Gabriel asks, opening a panel on the wall to reveal a series of car keys. I raise my hand timidly.
