Chapter Two:
age Five~First Day of School
It was the first day of school for me in District Two, the next day. Sara had dropped me off in front of a building that looked more like a jail than a school.
"Bye, Jena! have a good first day!" Sara had rolled down her window and hollered. as soon as our eyes met, she sped off, as if excited to be rid of me for the next eight hours.
Even though i was still outside, I knew that I didn't have to go to the class-I could just skip that day, and Sara and Trey would never know.
But what if they did find out? I felt my eyes widening at the thoughts that raced through my mind. Those things are much worse than what could have actually happened to me in school. I had never seen Trey or Sara mad, and frankly, I didn't want to. They were Peacekeepers, for heaven's sake. I was already terrified of them. But with this school, there were a lot more Peacekeepers than Sara and Trey.
"Hey, you," a voice pulled me out of my nightmares. I looked around to see who was my great savior, and found a girl, around my age, standing with a woman who was probably her mom. "Are you going to go in?"she asked. I didn't know what I had decided just yet, so I stood there. The girl let go of her mother's hand, and walked over to me. "Come on! It's not that scary."
"That's what you think! There are Peacekeepers in there!" I countered. The girl laughed and I just looked at her, stone faced. "What?!"
She stopped laughing, "You're funny, I like you. What's your name?"
"Jena."
"Do you have a last name, Jena?"
"Morrigan.
"Nice to meet you, Jena Morrigan. I'm Michaela. Michaela Olson. So are you going in?"
