Jake and Danny said he went to a convention for bad boys. And Sarah said he wasn’t there because he found out he was too cool for school. For some reason, they all said he might have been sick the first day, but he was just milking it now. Maybe it was the fact that he wasn’t there, but I stopped being frightened of him. I actually wanted him to come back to school so I could make him answer all my questions.
Danny and Jake finally asked two girls to the dance during lunch. The guys were fooling around, asking to borrow suits, and the girls couldn’t wait to wear their beautiful, one-of-a-kind dresses. I smiled and pretended to be interested in their conversations, but I felt a little sad to know I wouldn’t be shopping for a dress or even going to the dance.
After school, I decided to try and move on. Well, move on, as in go home and let Logan find information on Gideon. That was if I could admit I had a guy problem and apologize to Logan for wasting his time during training yesterday.
Later that afternoon, I found Logan outside. He was setting the place for our next training session. I asked him if he would help me find information on Gideon. At first he said no, but after I apologized for my lack of concentration during our last session, his face lit up.
“I thought I taught you better than that, Abigail,” he said when I explained I wanted us to hack into every database we could to find information on Gideon.
“No, you did. I’m not saying you should do it. I just want to use your computer, that’s all.”
He didn’t say no, so I rushed to get his computer. I searched for Gideon Chase in every database I could find, including the FBI, CIA, and Interpol, but nothing came up. Well, there were other Gideon Chase’s on the planet, but none of them matched my Gideon.
“That’s odd. Is this guy an alien?” Logan joked when he tried and couldn’t find anything either.
Gideon was suddenly like a mystery that couldn’t be solved. However, I loved solving mysteries.
“There has to be another way to get the information we need,” I mused.
“How about a sample of his hair?” Logan asked, “Or maybe Gideon Chase isn’t really his name.”
Logan spouted off a lot of reasons why Gideon’s name didn’t show up anywhere. I had only one, and it was the fact that he wasn’t human.

then what’s yours for hurting me back?
Answer me, Karma!”

“How have you stopped going to Earth?” Valoel asked the very moment I appeared inside my room.
“I haven’t stopped. I’m only taking a break,” I lied. I didn’t want to go to Earth anymore, especially if my presence frightened Abigail. I didn’t understand why she was scared of me.
“Well, I heard it’s because of Abigail,” Valoel said.
“Well you heard wrong, because Abigail is just annoying, reckless, conceited, a pain, and…” I paused, “and she waited until I said something stupid, and then she walked in and said she wanted to ask me to the dance. I tried telling her I didn’t mean what I said, but she won’t listen!” I felt frustrated.
“If you called her stupid, then why are you mad?” she asked.
“I’m angry at her because she’s just a stupid human who…who is…carelessly clumsy, smart, beautiful and… when she lets her hair fall on her face because she’s shy, or when she—” I screamed, suddenly falling to my knees in pain.
“Gideon,” Valoel rushed over to me.
I tried to shake her off. “Something’s—something’s wrong with me.” I tried to stand. “Maybe I’m sick.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Gideon. Angels don’t get sick.” Valoel pulled me to my feet.
“There must be something wrong with me because I can’t get her out of my mind.” Abigail invaded every thought in my head. “Abigail is everywhere, and I feel…angry that she heard me calling her stupid.” I pulled myself free from Valoel. “What’s wrong with me?”
“There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re just experiencing new feelings.”
“New feelings?” That was her theory? “I can feel hate and anger. What more is there? There must be something else wrong with me.”
“There’s nothing wrong with you, Gideon!” Valoel shouted. “You’re just…” She hesitated.
“What’s wrong with me, Val?” I asked. “What?”
“Gideon, you’re in love with Abigail.”
The next thing I knew, an invisible force forcibly hurled me straight through the wall. I crashed down below, plummeting at least
