Sticks and You're Stoned

Luke woke the the sound of his alarm blaring loudly. He groaned and sat up lazily, turning his attention to the loud clock. It read 6:31 and it was still blaring. He clicked the 'off' button and tossed his comforter to the side, practically off the bed. He was waddling, half asleep, to his closet when his door swung open and the light switched on. In the doorway stood Leia, Luke's twin sister.

"Hurry up, Luke! Obi-Wan has already started the car!" She shouted.

"Why must we leave so early?" He questioned, swapping his sleep shirt for a nice one. Slipping on bottoms, he grabbed his bag and ran after his sister.

"Also, Leia, why did you call Uncle Ben 'Obi-Wan?'" Leia sighed.

"I watched Spider-Man last night, okay?" Luke suppressed laughter as they dashed into the car.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Uncle Ben greeted Luke with a sly grin, his accent thicker from sleep. Luke rolled his eyes and gave a gentle good morning in return. When they got to school, Obi-Wan opened the door for both Luke and Leia.

Leia has always been very pretty. Today, she wore her chestnut hair in a tight braid and a delicate white sundress that hung loosely over her body that had a brown belt around the waist with white flats to match. Her makeup was done almost expertly. She was beautiful. Luke was very proud.

He wasn't dressed to impress today at all. Not that he ever really did, but in comparison to Leia, Luke might as well have been wearing a trash bag. He wore a black t-shirt with a yellow jacket (fuck bees) paired with black jeans and Converse. Simple, but effective, Leia would say.

The twins held hands as they walked towards their lockers that were, for the sake of plot, right next to each other. Well, mostly. There was one locker between them that was only ever used when the owner of said locker wanted to hide whatever drugs he had on his person at the time. Usually, it was weed.

"Remember," Leia said, snapping Luke out of his daze, "Uncle Obi will want you to at least text him what you want for lunch." Luke opened his mouth to reply, but half a word in, the owner of the middle locker propped himself between Luke and Leia, facing Leia, and began talking.

"Hey Princess, I've got a spaceship, would you like a ride?" He was definitely high. Without hesitation, Leia replied:

"Not with you, no." The guy sighed.

"C'mon, Princess--"

"Take a walk, Han." Leia cut him off. Han scoffed and turned around, probably just noticing Luke.

"Hey, Kid." Han said with a wink before walking off. There was a silence between them before Leia piped up.

"Were you looking at his butt?" Luke flushed and stuttered out a denial. Leia laughed at his 'obviously guilty' reaction. He looked away with a roll of his eyes and they parted ways, heading towards their first periods.

The day dragged on, people yelled at each other and talked shit, because this is high school and hating everyone is easy. Also, unfortunately for our hero, Luke is an easy target for people's negativity. He was small and kind, clearly a perfect target. Luke hadn't officially come out as anything, but he figured he was bisexual. As far as he knew, anyway, but someone had decided to blurt to the entirety of the school that Luke was gay, which was only partially true. He wasn't going to say, "Well, I'm only half gay," for two reasons: one, that's incorrect in so many ways, and two, he wasn't.

Anyway, people used Luke's 'sexuality' against him to bother him. It wasn't too bad, if he was honest. He had his sister to take care of him. As well as the bullies, honestly. Leia could kick major ass. She was the only girl on the wrestling team and was the reigning champ. Luke wasn't as cool, he was on the fencing team. Which people teased him about as well, but Obi-Wan was very proud. He told him about how his father had also been on the fencing team. Luke liked those stories.

Once again lost in his own head, Luke found himself shoved against a locker but someone he obviously didn't care enough to remember their name. Officially snapped out of his daze once again, Luke stared at the guy who had shoved him. He was yelling about something, Luke wasn't even sure at this point, when Obi-Wan walked passed them and grabbed the boy by the back of his shirt wordlessly.

"Please, do try to avoid confrontation on school grounds, Richard." Obi-Wan said calmly, releasing the boy -- Richard -- from his grip. Luke chuckled.

"Thanks, Uncle Ben!" He called. Obi-Wan waved his hand dismissively.

"Do try not to be late for class, Luke. And remember to tell me what you'd like for lunch." Luke gave an affirmative reply and made his way to his fourth period of the day. He had lunch next and was iffy on how he felt about that. Pros of lunch break: food. Cons of lunch break: people.

The second time Luke found himself pinned to the lockers was for a completely different reason. He just wanted to find Obi-Wan and get his sandwich, yet here he was. Han had him pinned to the lockers and was just staring at him with this intense look. It was obvious he was high, he smelled of marijuana, but his gaze was really threatening.

"You're pretty, y'know?" Luke blinked curiously, not the sentence he expected to hear.

"What do you mean?" He asked, nervous.

"I mean, yer sister is really pretty for a girl, but you're very nice on the eyes as well." Han said, his voice kind of rushed and jumbled. Luke blushed, eyes widening.

"Are you okay, Han? I don't think you're seeing what you think you are." He countered nervously. Han shrugged and walked away after that. Luke was all kinds of confused. All he wanted was a sandwich.

Sorry I'm not updating "Idiocy of Teenagers" like I should be but I got this idea and I wanted to do it.
