The next morning I woke up, got dressed, and slipped my hair into my signature triple buns look.
"Have a great day sweetheart!" Dad kissed me on the forehead, then left for work. Mom looked at me and winked and I went back upstairs, got BB-8 and let him outside to roam while I was away at school. Maybe he would find his owner, but I secretly hoped not, I was becoming attached. When I got to school, I went to the office and headed to my assigned locker. While I was trying to get my lock open, a guy with dark curly hair walked up to me.
"Are you new here?" He straight up asked.
I popped my locker open.
"Yes," I mumbled awkwardly.
"Neat. I'm Poe, Poe Damron. You can sit at lunch with me and my friends today if you want."
"Ok, I'm Rey," I said awkwardly shaking his hand.
"Where are you off to?"
"English with Ms. Kanata," I explained ," what about you?"
"Aviation with Ms. Holden. I want to be in the Air Force one day."
"Cool," I said closing my locker.
"Well it's been cool talking with you, I guess I'll see you at lunch," Poe said walking off.
"Ok see you then!"
I haven't even got to my first class and I've already made a friend. This day was coming off to a good start. I quickly found my English room and sat down in an empty seat. I glanced at the guy sitting across from me. He had dark hair, was wearing all black, but he seemed vaguely attractive. His folder said Kylo on the front so I assumed that was his name. He noticed my staring.
"What are you looking at?"
My cheeks flushed and I was going to say something, but I was interrupted by our teacher, Miss Kanata.
"Ok class, I've got a big assignment for you all. You're going to get with a partner I've assigned for you and I'm going to assign you two a scene from famous pieces of literature. You will practice that scene and analyze a summary of your scene and write and perform it together so you'll need to get practicing.I'm going to start calling groups."
I hoped she would pair me with anyone else but him, but as she called more names, she didn't call mine, nor Kylo's.
"And lastly Kylo and Rey. You all can pick a scene from Romeo and Juliet."
I tried not to groan as I heard that not only was I paired with Kylo, I had to do a romance scene with him. We got in our groups and I reluctantly turned my desk towards Kylos.
"So what scene do you want to do?" I asked.
"I don't know," he mumbled fiddling with his pencil.
This was getting nowhere.
"How about you come over to my house after school? We can work on it there," Kylo said to my suprise.
"After school I have to help my mom unpack where we just moved here," I said, "but I can possibly come after dinner."
"Great," he said trying to hide a smile.
I told him my address as the bell rang.
"I'll pick you up at 6," he said as we got up. I got a wan fuzzy feeling as I watched tall, slender Kylo walk out of the classroom. Could I have feelings for him? Maybe.

Finally it was time for lunch, and I found Poe waving me over to a table. There were a few more people at the table.
"This is Rey," Poe said to everyone else.
"I'm Finn," one of the other guys across the table said.
"I'm Rose," the girl in the seat next to me said.
"I like your haircut," I said to her.
"Thanks!" She said smiling.
"So how's your day at Ewok High so far?" Finn asked.
"It's fine," I said ," but I have some English group project with some guy named Kylo, and I have to go to his house to work on it sometime today."
Poe face palmed, Rose rolled her eyes,
"Kylo?" Finn groaned.
"Yes, what's wrong with that?" I said eager to know more about this mysterious Kylo.
"He's super emo," Rose groaned.
"And super mean to all of us," Finn said.
"He's kind of aggressive, but will stay out of your way if you don't talk to him," Poe said.
"Well I kind of have to with this group project thing," I groaned.
"That whole group of them are horrible people," Finn said motioning towards a table where I spotted Kylo.
"That's Hux," Poe said motioning towards a ginger dressed in all black.
"And that's Phasma," Rose said looking towards a girl with a pixie haircut and was hiding under her metallic silver jacket hood.
"But the leader of them all is Snoke," Poe said motioning towards a blonde guy. He was wearing some sort of weird gold tuxedo top. He looked like he had stumbled out of a pimp convention.
"He's sinister," Rose mumbled under her breath.
"What's so bad about them?" I asked.
"They try to control and terrorize everyone," Finn said.
"So good luck at your group project with Kylo," Finn advised. "You'll need it."
