Technically, it was a reward for the hard work we’d produced, but I think it was to give the teachers time to relax and focus as they continued whatever research they were into. I decided to spend the very next free day in search of information about the mysterious girl. I thought the best place to start was the academy. Even if I’d never seen her there, she looked to be of a similar age to me, so it seemed like a reasonable place to begin. “Good morning, Seven. You are awake early again. Is anything the matter?” “Hi, Ava. Not really, just want to look into something today.” I wanted to spend as much time as possible finding out who the mysterious girl was, so had opted for a painfully early start. So busy had my mind been that night, however, the choice would have been out of my hands, anyway, as I’d awoken before the day rotation had even begun. “Is it anything I can help you with, Seven?”
