I’ve been taken into a school classroom with all of my friends. The only people I don’t know in here is the pink-haired woman and a man with long black hair who’s facing the front wall. On that wall is a projection of the cosmos that he seems to be pouring over with his eyes. And when the man turns around I gasp in surprise.

“Coconut?” It looks like him, although a bit older.

Someone giggles and I turn around. As though time is on hold, I slowly try to get my frazzled confused brain to understand what’s happening. I remember running away from Antelope Island in America, but this place doesn’t resemble that earthly country at all.

Right now Tanessa is all the way in the corner of the room. She’s chewing her fingernails as though nervous. She eyeballs me for a split second, but then looks away. She looks the same as me wearing a school uniform with blazer and skirt, so I don’t need a full length mirror any time soon.

“What’s going on?” Fists on hips, I glare at everyone in turn. Which is a lot of people, considering the fact that everyone I know on Earth is literally right here. Right now.

There’s Glowan and Glotoo, the twins from planet Utopni, where twins are always born. Glowan’s hair is long and blonde, but it’s not in the shape of a permed mullet. Glotoo’s mullet is totally gone. Completely shaved off. They’re both wearing school uniforms and sitting behind one of the many double desks in this room.

I stare at them both. Glowan looks guilty in the way her lips fold inwards and off to the side. Glotoo shrugs and mouths the word, “sorry.”

Next I stare at Banny. He just runs a hand through his thick black hair that’s cut to his shoulders. He bows and apologises too.

Zrent and Thyst are both wearing these professional school uniforms too. It’s weird to see everyone wearing the same thing. I know our facades keep us looking like young Earth teenagers, but is Thyst allowed to have her eyes lined with black makeup so stark like that?

Not that her makeup look is important right now. Or is it?

She’s managed to retain some of her true identity, seeing as how her and Zrent come from the very corrupt and rough city planet of Gwoi. But does she fit in here on Earth? At this school for teenagers? Aren’t there rules?

Well I don’t know. And I’m not going to get any answers out of them because they’re both fiddling with guns on the table they’re sat at. I supposed I shouldn’t worry about how this school accepts Thyst as a student with long blonde dreadlocks and majorly smoky black eyeliner. Not when they’ve obviously managed to smuggle laser guns into the building!

Zrent’s blonde hair is shaved off like Glotoo’s. Although his skin is dark and it suits his look much better.

“Jendy, please.”

I hold up a hand when the pink-haired woman talks to me. I don’t know who she is and I’m in no mood to get answers from a stranger.
