Alyssa McKay (as Ella Sinclair)

Shit. Well, she scratched my face in the bathroom. Are people really going to think we teamed up to off-broke or something?

Well, if we break up, our relationship looks like a silly fling, not murder fuel.

Isn't anyone going to ask me for my side of the story? I'll tell them the truth. Brooke blackmailed us, but we never hurt her. If me living with Steve will help look like less of a motive, then I'll do it. But I mean, we could still, like, hang out during the day, right?

Really?

Really?

I don't know.

I just... I need to think. Reed looks more serious than I've ever seen him. From the backseat, I reach out a hand to touch his neck. He covers my hand in his. I think Easton's going to make another joke about us, but he stays quiet. Steve is determined to keep us apart, and his plan looks like it's going to work.

Then again, for the first time, Reed doesn't seem confident the charges against him will be dropped. My plan to catch the real killer hasn't worked. The trial is getting closer every day. I mean, maybe the best thing I can do for Reed is leave him alone.

What if one moment you were just trying to survive high school? The next, you're the key to saving an empire in a parallel universe. I'm Ella Jane, EJ to most. I thought I had it all figured out. But one night at a pool party, everything changed. I wake up in a world called Estanasia, an empire on the brink of collapse. Turns out, I look exactly like a missing military general.

Posing as the general is my only shot at surviving. And there's a seriously complicated interdimensional crush involved, too. I never wanted to be a hero, but now I'm stuck in a fight to save the empire, solve family secrets, survive assassins, and face terrifying beasts.

Things are still tense between Reed and I at lunch, and everyone at the cove is still staring at us, though our group has gotten better at ignoring them. I sit with Reed, Val, and Nova on the grassy knoll.
