"Bye." ma says
" Love you. " I reply
She looks at me as if I will never see her again,which is probably true since I am joining the rebel alliance."This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and have to take it mom."
"I know but your brothers will miss you"
"Look, you go back in that house and get to work. I will message and be fine okay?"
" Okay love but don't forget about us."
"Oh, you know I couldn't ma."
I give her one last kiss and head off, ready for anything the galaxy puts in my path.
When I get on the ship I find the last seat next to a girl with brown hair and a tight braid down her back. She is wearing a old tunic with a belt, skinny cargo pants and sandals. Looks to me like she is from jakku since that place is rubbish now and she looks like she would fit in.
She looks at me and says "Names Leyla. Just joined. You?"
" I just joined too, I'm Jace. Are you excited?" I say.
"Yeah I guess you could say that." She smirks.
When we arrive on Corosaunt I go with Leyla to our resting quarters. We are in the same quarter because we are first timers. Turns out she is from Jakku and lives with her so called cousin Ben. She says he works all day providing for her and is very grateful for him but doesn't think they are related. He is about 20 and was gonna join the rebels but couldn't because of her. This is the best she can do for him. He should come next season though.
"Troops McCormick and uhh, Leyla?" Says one of the older and more experienced troops.
"That would be us. What do you need?" I reply
"Nothing, just that we have a meeting after dinner about attacking on the star killer base."
"Okay, we will be there."
"Thank you."
During the meeting I met the whole alliance. They have some troops all the way from the degabouh system. We didn't meet them sooner because Leyla and I are from the eastern side of the galaxy. Most of them seem pretty experienced and hard working. I can't wait until tomorrow morning when we start training.
