Rey's POV
I had been awake all night, having not been able to sleep due to the nervousness of starting at the academy, although Master Luke had told me back on my home planet of Coruscant that I  would do wonderfully at the academy. I slowly stood up from the bed in my  small stone hut, and changed into my training clothing, and tied my long dark hair into three buns clumsily. I walked outside of my hut slowly, terrified of what everybody else would think of me. I slowly stepped out of my hut and walked towards the stone academy after taking a deep breath. The air was cool outside, with a cold breeze. It only took about five minutes to make it from my hut to the academy.  I entered the stone building with a few other students, one of them was  a bit taller than the rest, with dark hair and soft brown eyes. I looked away from him as I walked towards the large training room where we were all supposed to meet this morning.

"Hello, class, today we have a new student," Master Luke said as we sat down, I sat closer to the back, so that I wouldn't have very much attention drawn to myself. "Her name is Rey. Rey can you stand up please?" Luke continued.

I stood up quietly, keeping my head down, everyone else looked at me.

Ben's POV
I had noticed the girl who stood up in the back of the class. She was the same girl who I had caught looking at me in the entrance. From the looks of it, she was one or two years younger than myself.  She looked nervous,  so I stood up and walked over to her.

"Hey," I said softly to the short brunette girl.

"Hi," she replies quietly, glancing up at me. She had the most interesting eye color I had ever seen, they were a darkish sort of green with flecks of brown in them.

"I'm Ben. Ben Solo," I introduce myself, taking a seat beside her.

"I'm Rey," she says with a faint smile.
