Despite the gravity towards the situation, Kace looked at me eagerly; his sleeve rolled up to his elbow. "No," I said. "But its tradition," Jace wined. "Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people," I spat. "Please, I have to fit in," Jace sighed. "They cant know about me." I sighed and looked at the alien before me. Jace wasn't an alien but a star that fell. Some attributes, his bright blonde hair and yellow eyes, made him stand out as it was. "Traditions are stupid," I said bitterly. "Fitting in is the most crucial point for this. At least until I can get back." I groaned. "Fine," I muttered, pulling out my phone. I had the app installed in case I wanted to imprint myself and become "a part of society" but I didn't want to regret that choice. Not to mention, I was pretty much discriminated because of it. I was surprised Jace would be so excited. "No regrets?" I asked. "None," Jace replied firmly. I held up my phone that displayed the symbol of the government and etched into his skin. The process took about 5 minutes before he and I walked into the fair ground. "How does it feel to be a member of society?" I teased. Jace looked at me. "I've been here what, 2 weeks and I'm already higher in society then you." My face darkened. "Maybe I don't want to be in this place," I explained. Jace bit his lip and nodded as we walked in further. That's when the alarm went off. The siren blared causing everyone to cover their ears and get down. "What is that?!" Jace called, covering his ears. I panted. "It means they found a non human," I whispered. Jace's eyes widened. "Goodbye," he whispered, tears rolling down his cheeks. Jace jumped up and ran outside. "Jace! No!" I yelled. Jace ran out into the open and threw off his hood and glasses. "Here I am! Come and get me!"
