Last Minute ~ Reylo AU

Chapter 10

"Okay.." Poe stopped Rey before entering the gymnasium where the class was held.

"When we get in there, stay by me the whole time, in about five minutes the lieutenants and officers will come in, that's when everyone stops talking immediately. When they enter, you need to go to the corner of the gym and stand with all the other freshman. Any questions?"

Rey furrowed her eyebrows together, "Why do these guys sound so terrifying?"

"No one knows, let's go." Poe gently pushed her through the door. She entered the gym and looked around.

The gym was huge, the ceiling was almost thirty feet tall and red bleachers lined the room. People spoke with each other briefly while they waited for their doom.

"Common." Poe tugged on Rey's wrist. She followed him across the gym, squeezing in between people and apologizing for it.

"Rey, I'd like you to meet Biggs Darklighter and Bren Quersey." Poe introduced her to two guys, one with fluffy dark hair and one with light brown hair and a mustache.

"Nice to meet you." Biggs held out his hand. Rey glanced at it and took it.

"Nice grip you got there. That grip will get somewhere." Biggs complemented. Rey blushed, "Thank you."

She glanced over to Bren, who seemed to be shier than Briggs. He kept his head low and only would look up occasionally to look at Rey.

Both of the guys were dressed like Poe, blue shirt, and black pants.

"You a freshman?" Bren finally spoke. "Yeah, I am." Rey looked at him.

"Freshman are over there. Go join 'em" He pointed to a group of people standing in the corner of the room awkwardly.

"Bren," Biggs warned him.

"Why do I need to go join the freshman?" Rey asked. She chucked a death glare at him and he most certainly caught it.

"Because freshman are weak. Freshman have no clue what this class is about. You'll be dead by tomorrow." Bren crossed his arms over his chest.

Rey laughed. 'I could probably drop you right now.'

"Go on freshie,"

Rey rolled her eyes and walked to the corner of the room with all the other people in tank tops and shorts.

"Rey." She turned to see Poe.

"Rey, you really didn't need to listen to Bren, he's-- he's a jack off," Poe smirked, a strand of black hair falling in front of his face.

"I'll get the bitch back." Rey cocked a smile.

Poe laughed under his breath and was about to say something when the doors to the gymnasium flew open.

"Mass Lines!" yelled one guy.

Poe glanced at Rey and then rushed to his place in line. Rey stood in her spot, her anxiety levels grew.

A line of people filed out of the doors wearing red. Seven people filed out of the doors and then finally a man in all black.

The man stopped in front of the lines of people and scanned over all the people in front of him until his eyes fell upon Rey and he stopped.

'Jesus H.Christ, it's Ben.'

Rey looked straight ahead. Hands behind her back and back straight.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ben walking closer and closer. He b-lined towards Rey, stopping right in front of her. Her eyes were set on his collarbone and her breathing was off the charts.
