It is my first day at MIT. As myself, I had to go to a school that had to do with computers, so I applied.

With Angel away at High School, Iggy studying medicine, Gazzy about to get his High-school degree, and Fang and Max married, I am finally able to go to college guilt-free.

This school is in beautiful Massachusetts, right by the Charles River. I love all the open air and sunshine. The people are so friendly. There is only one thing that I'm worried about.

You see, the Flock had some issues with schools in the past. We tried going once, but it didn't work out. Too many Erasers.

And evil scientists.

I, Nudge, once again tried to get the Flock to go back to school. They didn't listen.

So, as I walked up to the front door of MIT, you can't possibly imagine how happy I was. The yard Is so beautiful. So many trees.

Holding the brass door handle in my hand, I readied myself.

This is gonna be hard. But it'll be worth it.

I open the door and walk up to the first person I see; trying to be friendly.

"Hi! My name is Nudge. What's yours?"

"Eve. Are you new here, too?" She smiles, and I immediately know that she is someone trustworthy.

"Yeah." I nod.

"I'm boarding here; but I don't know where the heck the rooms are and who I'm with."

She says that there's a list of who's with who. She leads me over to a billboard with peoples' names on it.

"It says I'm boarding with you." I say, relieved that I have someone friendly with me.

"In room 1227."

We ask the secretary for directions to our room. She gives us a key and, after thanking her, we quickly run upstairs.

Opening the door, Eve gasps.

"Look at the view!"

Our room has a window overlooking the Charles River. The view is breathtaking.

"Here, I have to go to the bathroom." I say, and start searching the halls for a bathroom. When I find one I go inside.

"Thank god." I mumble, and after checking to make sure no one is in the bathroom with me, I stretch out my wings.

Quickly, without warning, the door opened. I saw in the mirror that it was Eve.

"Your scarf got caught in the-" She pauses, seeing my wings.

"Oh, no." I say. "This isn't what it seems."

"No," Eve says, "I know what they are, because I have them too." She spreads her tawny wings out.

Boy, do I have a lot to tell Max.
