Lunch.

I jumped out of my chair, ran through the crowded halls to the refectory, and spotted Amalie and Taylor sitting at a round table. I rushed over to them.

“There you are! What took you so long?” Taylor snapped.

“Sorry, the halls were swarming with noviates. It’s amazing you two get here so quick. Come to think of it, how did you get here so quick, Taylor?” Amalie always showed up early on account of her ability to change super-fast after her combat training classes. I thought she just got out of her combat classes. She notoriously faked injury, and when that didn’t work, she got creative. Nonetheless, Taylor never arrived here early.

“Oh, you know.” She mumbled, fidgeting with the dangerously low-swooping neckline of her blouse.

“No, I don’t know. I don’t think I saw you in classes today,” I remarked.

“That’s because you didn’t. I didn’t go.”

“How can you be so stupid?” I heard myself getting loud. I took a second to calm myself. I glanced around to make sure no one was listening. I felt like everyone was watching me. Damn paranoia. “Do you really think it's smart to draw attention to yourself right now?”

“Lay off! Damn! You act like I turned Dark or something.”

My eyes must have projected the anger I felt because she recoiled immediately.

“Don’t even joke,” I snapped.

Going Dark meant that an angel chose to fall. It was nothing to be taken lightly. If an angel fell, the entrance to Bethel was closed for eternity, and he or she was a disgrace to the Heavenly realm and to their families.

“Sorry,” her voice calmed, and she looked down at her empty blue bowl.

“Don’t say anything like that again. End of discussion.”

“Don’t you think we should talk about tonight,” Amalie interrupted.

“I do not. It’s best if we act as normal as possible.” I tried to sound like the leader, but I felt dreadfully irresolute.

I stood up, starting away until Taylor grabbed my arm. I looked at her. She tried to tell me something with her eyes. I didn’t care.

“Taylor, I have no time for this.”

“Anna, we should talk before tonight,” she begged.

I looked at Amalie and spoke to both of them.

“Fine, after last class, we can meet in my room.”

She released her grip and I walked away.
