April stared at the ceiling of her bunk, arms folded behind her head.
Her body still buzzed from the training, but her mind was stuck on what Jax had told her.
A name.
That's what she needed.
She sighed and closed her eyes, but before she could lose herself in thought, a sharp knock echoed from the doorway.
"April," Jax's voice called. "Get up. We need to talk."
She sat up immediately. "What now?"
Jax stepped inside, tossing a folder onto the bed beside her. "Change of plans. You're going to high school."
April blinked. "What?"
Kai, who had been lingering in the hallway, chuckled. "Man, your face right now."
April shot him a glare before turning back to Jax. "Explain."
Jax sighed, rubbing his temples. "Our last move stirred things up more than expected. Ragnörak's looking for us, and we can't afford to draw more attention. Staying underground all the time isn't an option."
"So your solution is high school?"
Saya leaned against the doorway. "It's the perfect cover. No one expects a blind girl in a uniform to be involved in anything dangerous."
April scoffed. "You do realize I've never been to? You all know my past," She said the last part in a whisper. But Jax, Kai, Saya and Dante all easily heard her.
Saya smiled hopelessly to herself as she spoke. "We all know. But we truly have no other choice, please forgive us for this."
April didn't say anything, but the next second she only nodded her head.
Accepting the plan.
Dante smirked. "Good. Oh yeah I almost forgot you have to attend highschool regularly."
April's eye twitched. "You have to be kidding me."
Jax shook his head. "We need to keep things stable. So you have to act well."
April exhaled sharply. "How long?"
"Until we say otherwise," Jax said. "Take this as a chance to lay low, at least for a while."
April muttered something under her breath but grabbed the folder anyway.
Inside were school documents— attendance records, schedules, even a reminder about some upcoming school event.
She groaned. "Great."
Kai grinned. "Look on the bright side. Maybe you'll actually make some friends this time."
April threw a pillow at his face.
