Apparently it was a slow day for the school rebels. The place was practically deserted. Of course, Robbie Canetti was there because Robbie Canetti was always there. He looked up from his notebook when Ed and Gaia entered. "Hi," he said. Ed said hi. Gaia didn't bother. Ms. Strahan glanced at them, then went back to correcting papers. Ed wheeled himself to the back corner of the room, and Gaia flung herself into a chair, letting it scrape against the floor loudly. Her leg immediately started to bounce up and down. There was no way she was staying trapped in this box for the next hour. She leaned forward, pressing her elbows into her knees to stop her legs from spasming. "I have two things to say," she said, looking Ed in the eye. "One, I didn't want to do what I did out there. I really am sorry." "I know," Ed answered seriously. "What's the second thing?" "The second thing is that I'm outta here." She stood up and started past him, but Ed grabbed her wrist. "I know where Sam is," he said.
