"The Planet" The title said in large black print on the white page. Lucas could tell this was a new book by the condition it was in compared to the other books that had yellow pages and fading print.
Lucas stared at the bold letters and became bored with the book. He closed it and pushed it to the side and grabbed another book that was in a pile of books he had stacked next to him.
"Zeke," A Lucas's mother said.
"Yeah," Lucas said getting used to his new name.
"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure,"
"I know you're confused, but can you try to adjust. I know it might be hard, but I'll try to help you and you have your siblings to help you."
"I know," He sighed as he turned towards his mother.
"Thank you so much," She said as she smiled at him and laid her hand on his shoulder.
"What is the planet?" He asked as he looked into her eyes.
He watched as the smile slipped off her face and her eyes grew wide. She stared at him. She forced a smile onto her face and said, "I don't know. No one really knows. Why?"
Zeke stared at his mother and knew that she was hiding something. He smiled and choose to find out himself. "No real reason, I just saw it in a book."
"Oh," She said as she looked at the pile of books next to him. "We're going to be landing soon."
"Okay,"
"Let's go to the living room."
Zeke stood and followed his mother to the room they came in first.
He heard a clunk and mumbling of a crowd of people who were waiting for them outside.
"Are you ready to go home?" as she walked towards the door and grabbed the handle. Zeke nodded and she pulled opened the door.
