"Still," Elena corrected. Then she gave him a sheepish smile. "Still have to worry about school. Mr. Anselmo told me my duty was to study, since I was a student before. I know, dumb, right?"

All the casual conversation was starting to feel like something straight out of a spy movie, when she knew all everybody probably wanted to discuss was how many of the Sleepers actually believed the stuff about their entire life being just a dream. But the threat of 'guard force acting' implied that they would know if anyone talked about their dreams like they were real.

Elena held up the diary she'd been carrying around with her. The huge block letters on the front that spelled out CHLOE made it pretty clear whose diary it was.

"If you ask me, this is way more useful- I mean, more helpful in figuring out who I was, than a picture or something." She caught herself on 'useful' and hastily came up with something before she accidentally incriminated herself. While it was interesting to read about Chloe's (or... well, her) life, Elena's main reason for keeping it with her was to find people that Chloe knew for more information.
