7:45 am:
Beep Beep. Beep Beep. Beep Beep.
Rey's alarm clock rang annoyingly. She pulled off her covers and slammed the box like machine.

She sat up trying to stay awake. She pulled on her slippers and made her way to the bathroom.

She turned on the light and gazed upon the tired girl in the mirror staring back at her.
Jesus. I look horrible.

She turned the faucet on and cupped her hands underneath the running water, catching the water in her hands and splashing her face with water.

She dried her face and went down stairs to meet Papa.

"Good Morning papa." Rey said sitting at the table.

"Good morning Rey." Papa said placing a plate in front of Rey. The plate consisted of toast with butter and some yogurt.

Rey quickly ate the plate of food and headed back up stairs to change for her first day of school.

Rey opened up her drawers and pulled out a pair of ripped jeans and a Pink Floyd t-shirt.
She slipped into her outfit and went back into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She didn't understand why people brushed their teeth than ate when you could eat than brush your teeth right?

Rey rinsed out her mouth and looked back in the mirror. Looking good Rey!

She quickly raced down the stairs and grabbed her bag. "Bye papa! I will see you later!" Rey yelled and shut the door.

She walked down to the bus stop to wait for the bus. As she approached she could see other students quickly approaching as well. She finally made it to the corner and waited.
She noticed there were sectioned groups.
There was 4 groups in total.

There was one group of guys with football jerseys on. I'm guessing those are the jocks.

Next to them there was a group of girls. All of them wearing pink or purple. Not Rey's color.
Mean girls.

Then on the right side of Rey was a group that consisted of girls and boys. All had glasses and had notepads in hand. Geeks.

Then to the left of Rey there was a small group of two. Two boys. They seemed to be talking and then looking over at Rey. They'd whisper and then glance.

Rey didn't think much of it. She was the new girl of course. Everyone stares.

All of a sudden she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Rey turns her head to find out that it was the two boys.

"Hello." Both of them said.

"Uh. Hi." Rey said awkwardly. She didn't like conversation.

"Are you new? We haven't seen you at this bus stop before." One of the boys said.

"Yes I am. I'm Rey. Rey Kenobi." Rey said. "I'm Poe. Poe Dameron." The boy said shaking her hand firmly.

"I'm Finn." He said shaking her hand as well.
"It's nice to meet you Rey." Poe said.

Rey was very uncomfortable but when she got used to them she would let her mind ease.

Then a big yellow school bus approached the stop. The brakes squeak as the bus stops and opens up the doors.
Rey sits alone in a seat on the right side of the bus. Seat 11.
Then across the aisle Poe and Finn squished into a seat.
"So Rey. Where did you move from?" Finn asked.
"Connecticut." She said looking over the both of them.
"Oh cool. I have a cousin who lives there. What town did you live in?" He asked again.
"Cheshire." She said and then looking out the window. The bus consisted of hormone raging and sexually active students. Rey was part of the handful of students who actually did what they were supposed to do. This was going to be Rey's sophomore year of high school.
"So Rey. Do you have a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?" Finn asked. Rey has never had a boyfriend before and she doesn't know when she will but right now wasn't a good time.
"No actually. Why?" She asked.
"No reason. We just wanted to know why a pretty girl like yourself wouldn't get picked up by her smoking hot boy toy in the morning." Poe said clasping hands with Finn.
"I'm guessing you too are a thing?" Rey asked. They obviously wanted Rey to know that they were a couple.
"Yep. Almost 4 months now!" Finn said looking at Poe with a full smile plastered on his face.
He looked so happy and it was adorable even though they just met like 6 minutes ago.
Rey was already getting used to them.
I don't know how they do it! I couldn't be with someone that long. Four months?! Nope!
This was going to be a longer day than she thought.
