Rey was thrilled when she saw who her roommate was. It was one of her best friends (and Ben's too) from childhood.

"Jessica! It has been way too long. I'm so happy to see you! I didn't know you were going to be attending school here. I love what you did with your hair! We have so much to catch up on, which we will do after classes today."

Jessica gave Rey a huge hug before looking pointedly at the bassinet where her daughter was laying. "I'm happy to see you to Rey. And I can see we have a LOT to catch up on. Is she Ben's? And how old is she? What's her name? Can I be the godmother?" She was laughing at the last one.

"Yes she is Ben's and she's a year old now. Her name is Satine. And you can be her unofficial godmother if you want. Rey then looked at the time. I better get her to the daycare and then hurry to class. I don't want to be late on my first day.

"I'll walk with you and then walk to class with you. What class do you have first?"

"I have English first and then a advanced biology class this afternoon. Come on let's go."

The two friends caught up on some of the things they had missed the past few years before returning to the campus and heading to the first English class of the year.

Rey had barely stepped in when she was ambushed by hugs by her two other best friends Finn and Poe.

"Rey Kenobi why on earth didn't you write to us over the summer? Finn demanded. We worried that something had happened to you."

Poe put a hand on his friend's shoulder, calming him down. "I'm pretty sure Rey had a good reason for not writing to us Finn. He then looked around to make sure no one was listening before asking his next question. "How's the baby?"

"She's good and perfectly healthy. I'll let you guys see her when classes end today. And Finn I'm so sorry for not writing, it was just a busy summer looking after Satine and preparing for college. I'm glad this school has a daycare so she can be looked after there while I attend classes."

Poe and Finn looked at each other before nodding in agreement about something. "Finn and I would like to help you pay for the daycare. How much is it?"

"$50 a month but you guys don't have to..."

Rey was silenced by two $50 dollar bills being shoved into her hands. Finn gave her another hug before going to take his seat.

Rey was going to take her seat as well but was stopped by Poe.

"I know you don't want to tell him, and trust me I can understand why, but I think you should tell Ben about the baby. He has the right to know he's a father. And it's best he hears it from you and not someone else. Please promise me you'll think about it." He then gave her hand a squeeze before he went to take his seat beside Finn.

Sighing, Rey went to take her seat beside Jessica. Ignoring the curious look on her friend's face, she took out her notebook and focused her attention to the front of the room where the teacher had just arrived.

"Welcome to first year English everyone. I'm your professor Orson Krennic. If you will please look at the course outline I left at your seats, we will go over what we will be covering this semester." He then went to close the door but three late students arrived before he could do so.

"Is this the room for first year English? A girl with short blonde hair asked.

"Yes it is. Now if you will please take your seats, I'm about to begin the lesson. If you are late again you will have to catch up on what you missed on your own. I will have this door closed by 9:00. Understood?"

The three nodded and then took their seats. They then spent the next 2 hours taking notes on class requirements and then they were assigned their first essay of the semester.

"This will be due on Wednesday. It will give me an idea of where your all at writing wise and will also prepare you for all the other essays you will be writing in my class. Have a good rest of the day. Class dismissed."

"I'll see you later Jessica called out to Rey. I have a computer class next." With a wave Jessica quickly jogged out.

Rey then quickly packed up her bag and was about to hurry off when she slipped on something slippery on the floor. She would have fell face first if someone's arms hadn't caught her by the middle.

"Thank you...." She froze when she looked up into the black eyes of Ben Solo.

He looked equally surprised by who he had helped. He quietly murmured "Your welcome." He wanted to say more but Rey quickly untangled herself and ran out of the classroom.

"Rey wait!" He called out to her. It was too late however, she was long gone.

"You know her?" Hux asked seeing the look on Kylo's face.

"I'll tell you about it later. Let's go."

Kylo then walked out, leaving a confused Hux and Phasma behind him. With a shake of their heads they followed after him.

To Be Continued....

A/N- I'm pretty happy with how this chapter turned out. I got everything in that I wanted to.

So Rey and Kylo came face to face, even if it was very brief. They'll have a longer encounter in the future. Hux and Phasma will be a big part too. And I plan on making Hux a little more nicer than he usually is.
