The First 50 Pages

In the first 50 pages of "Among the Impostors" we meet Luke Garner who now goes by the name Lee Grant because he is an illegal child, a third child. His friend Jen has died trying to protect illegal children, so he had to go hide if not, his whole family and himself would be killed by the population police. He is sent to Hendrick School for Boys, and feels like and outsider while is being bullied every night by a boy that he calls Jackal Boy. All of the teachers seem not interested at all by any of the students, and Luke is still having a hard time even finding his classrooms. When Luke was dropped off at the school by Jen's dad, who has risked his life by being part of the Population Police while having a third child himself and protecting Luke, secretly gave him a note and Luke hadn't gotten the chance to read it for almost 2 weeks. One day he was walking through the halls and found that a door was slightly open to the outside. He didn't think twice about, leaving and made a run for the woods. There he finally got the chance to read the note which only said, "blend in". It made him so mad because it was the only thing that he was exited about, thinking it was advice about how to survive. He didn't care anymore because he had found the woods. He stayed for about 3 hours when he finally decided to go back. Once he got back, he notice a security guard but managed to get in without him noticing him. The security guard noticed that he was waking so Luke acted dumb, but he security seemed panicked.
