Collided

Chapter 1

Rey's POV:

Being a ballerina isn't easy. Especially when she has to pay for everything herself. She has no family to help her and that's tough on an 19 year old. She won't ever give up though. Her job helps her a lot thanks to Maz, her boss and friend. Rey sees Maz as a mother sometimes because she is so caring and wise. Rey used to dance almost every day at her dance studio but now that she graduated high school, she decided it's time to get more advanced and make ballet her career. Her college classes will be very hard but she knows she can do it. Every day except Sundays, Rey will be dancing from 6 am to 3 pm. Only breaks she will get is Lunch and the 10 minute break every 2 hours. She is glad her classes are that early because she needs time to work at Maz's restaurant.

Finn and Poe are her best friends. She's known them since 2nd grade. They've been on camping trips together and they've been to Disneyland. Once they all became seniors in high school Finn and Poe drifted away from Rey a little bit because they turned out to have feelings for each other. They are still dating and they honestly look really cute together. Rey tries to hangout with them as much as she can. Rey is cleaning up her apartment and getting everything ready for tomorrow. She is extremely nervous for her first day tomorrow. Luckily Finn and Poe are coming over tonight to watch movies with her. They want to wish Rey good luck on her first day. As she was cleaning her room, Finn and Poe arrived.

"Hey Rey!"

"Hi guys!" She gave them both a hug and went to the kitchen to make popcorn.

"So Rey... are you excited for college?" Finn always starts the conversations when they are all together.

"Hell yeah! Ever decide if you're gonna go to college or not?"

"Yes I did. Poe and I are going to the same college apparently."

"Oh really?" If Rey is honest, she does get a little jealous. She gets jealous not because they hangout together more than they hangout with her, but because they both found love. Rey has never been on date, never had a boyfriend, or a first kiss. She's never been asked out and when she asks someone out, they always say no. Is it because she isn't pretty enough? Do they not like her outgoing personality? Or is there someone out there who is waiting for her? Poe finally interrupted her thoughts answering her question.

"I am going to college to be a pilot and Finn is going to be a cop."

"Wow I'm impressed with you two." Rey sat down on the couch as Poe and Finn followed. They decided on watching Pitch Perfect. It's always been their favorite movie.

Rey woke up at 4:30 to get ready. She did a little bit of makeup, put her hair in a bun, and packed her ballet, pointe, and lyrical shoes. She looked at her schedule over and over again making sure she isn't missing anything.

It will be very exhausting but she can do it. She left her apartment and got into the car her grandpa bought her when he was alive. All her family is dead and this car is all Rey has left of them. Her grandpa took care of her when her parents died in a car accident until he died. She was 17 so she had to be in the foster care system until she turned 18. Unkar Plutt was her foster parent and a very bad one. Thank goodness she only had to live with him for 5 months. Because of him, she lost all the pictures of her family and anything else that was given to her. Unkar surprisingly let her keep the car and he also let her dance. She has only one picture of her, her mom, and her dad on her phone but that's it. She was 7 in the picture and her parents look so young.
