Chapter 5

"Well, today's the day to your first day of Imperial Academy!" Sabine said.

"That's a lot of days," Eloise said, " in your sentence. "

Sabine just snickered.

"Well,come on. Go." Ezra said.

Eloise held her arms against her sides, hands clenched into fists so tight, her knuckles turned white. She was starting to sweat and didn't budge.

"Hey," Ezra said, looking over to her," what's wrong?"

When she didn't answer, he said,

"Are you nervous?"

Eloise nodded, then looked at him.

"Hey, it's OK. I was nervous, too. In fact we all are. Even when it seems like we aren't. And were nervous, because maybe you might get caught."

"Ezra!" They all said, glaring at him, " that's making it worse!"

She sighed. "No, Guys. It's OK…"

"How do I look?"

Her hair was combed over to one side, orange with blue strands, making her look...like an imperial!

"Good. Like a Cadet." Ezra said.

"OK then," Hera said, " see you later, Mika!"
