I expected to be dead by now.
No, really. I wasn’t great when it came to decision making, but when
my best friend decided she was done with our poor luck on Earth, we got
some records faked and we hightailed it off our little rock. Not that the
planet itself is a drag. It’s beautiful and as a kid, all I wanted to do was stare
at pictures of it. The savannah. The rainforests. Even photos from space.
The way the planet looked like a little multicolored marble fascinated me.
But Earth had changed since all those photos were taken.

Overpopulation happened. Greenery and wilderness became so rare that
people had to pay thousands of dollars just to take a vacation to glimpse it
through a glass shield.
So you can imagine how being a botanist was completely out of the
question. Despite my fascination with plants and nature as a little girl, what
use was studying something that was going to be gone before my time was
up?
I’ll get back to the part where my best friend convinced me to go to
space later.
“You’re really going to give me attitude?” Thomas said, raising a bushy
brow at me.
“It’s not attitude,” I said, cocking a hip. “Melissa knows I don’t like the
slimy ones and she did that in front of everyone to make me look bad.”
“You’re going to have to get used to the slimy ones sooner or later.”
“Ok, but that was bitchy and you know it.”
“Bitchy or not, she’s worked hard to be here.”
“And I haven’t?”
“Maybe, but you also broke a lot of rules. Like… a lot.”
“That was a year ago. I’ve learned.”
“Have you?”
I wanted to throw my scalding hot coffee at him, but of all my
workmates, Thomas was the most tolerable. Therefore, logically, burning
his face off would make me a big loner. He’d hate me.
Not that I wasn’t used to everyone hating me. I was the kind of girl
people rolled their eyes about. If there was a problem, I probably started it.
If there was a mess, I probably had something to do with it. If some guy
touched my ass, his girlfriend probably thought it was my fault.
But I didn’t really make it easy. Fingers pointed because my track
record wasn’t great.
To quote my foster parents, “You’re just a big fuck up.”
“Whatcha thinking?” Thomas asked.
It was annoying how well he could read me. Sometimes I just wanted to
be in my head for two seconds, but he always dragged me out.
I shrugged. “Trying to convince myself not to throw my coffee on you
so I don’t lose my only friend in here.”
Looking around, most of the other interns had left the cafeteria and it
was pretty much just us.
Mary Mark’s University of Science aka the only place on Earth where
they dealt with alien plant life. I always found myself looking up at the
Nexus at night. Or what I could see of it. From Earth, it was just a light in
the sky. I should have been up there studying.
