Rey has escaped her miserable life in Jakku and Is now trying to live a better life and that starts with going to Naboo to attend stormtrooper university. She is a nobody just looking for someone to love her again. She wants her life back!
Will she...
It was hard to sleep in the hostel especially because of all the people sleeping in the same room. Rey thought it would be comforting to have people around her at such a hard time in her life, but it was strange. She had been alone for most of her life and when she is around people she still feels like an outcast. Hopefully she will make friends when she goes to the university, she thinks maybe hope is all she needs.
Rey had hardly any money at all she was just lucky she had the hostel it provided shelter, food and water. She only had £200 and the dorms cost £600 per term and then she had to pay the thousands for the two courses she wanted to take art and ballet. She still had weeks left but she had to have some help.
Rey was super nervous to discuss her problems with the staff at the hostel, but she knew it was the only way. So, she plucked up her courage and made her way to the front desk.
"Erm hi I have been at the hostel for a day now but I'm hoping to go to stormtrooper university in September, but I don't have enough money and I have nowhere else to go because I'm an orphan. "she mumbled to the lady at the desk with tears falling from her eyes and streaming down her face.
"Oh, dear come on let's talk somewhere private, shall we?"
The receptionist was very very kind and lead Rey to a small consultation room. She took out Rey's file the sheet that said Rey's name, age (because she didn't know her DOB) and origin on it she had filled it out when she first came yesterday. She told the nice lady her whole story that she was abandoned when she was 5 and had a happy life with her foster mum for 6 years until it was all torn away from her by the cruelty of her foster mothers' death. She told the lady how she was in the orphanage for a year then went to live with Unkar who was horrible and abused her for 7 long years.
Rey had more suffering and sad years than her 6 happy ones, but she is so very thankful for them Mrs. Erso was Rey's world and Rey know she is always with her. She believes her foster mother is her guardian angel.
Rey said she had escaped her life with Unkar and used the only small money she had to come to Naboo. She told the women about wanting to study art and ballet at the university because she did ballet for 7 years when she was younger until her life with Unkar but she told the lady that she kept practicing on her own. She told the receptionist that she was trying to earn money and that she earned £100 yesterday dancing in the city Centre.
The Receptionist told Rey about the hostels links to the university and the free scholarship scheme and offered Rey a free scholarship to stormtrooper university which made tears of happiness pour from Rey's eyes.
"Oh, thank you so so much you have no idea how much this means to me!"

The lady told Rey she would still need to pay for her accommodation at the university and that she would probably need a job. Rey said she was going to try the clubs on the high street to see if they wanted a dancer. The women smiled at that and suggested Rey went to 'Jabba The Hut' a club on the high street. Rey was so happy this gave her so much hope and happiness. She filled out the scholarship form in full writing down all about her sorrowful life and her passed education. She writes down she didn't know her DOB but always celebrated it on the day she was found by her foster mother on May the 4th.
With that Rey went to the bathroom and changed into a beige t-shirt and grey leggings. She went and grabbed her bag with her phone in and made her way to the kitchen for something to eat. Then she went out back into the havoc streets of Naboo and headed for the high street which was just a 5-minute walk from the hostel.
