Anakin P.O.V
"You are being stubborn." I pouted, leaning next to Padme's locker. It was after school.

"And you," Padme snapped her locker door shut, "are being annoying."

I sighed. "Please?"

"Anakin, I have homework."

"Ok, then we go somewhere and do homework together. I dont have practice. Ill pick you up at 5 tonight and we can go somewhere. Dates don't alway have to be movies and dinner." I argued.

Padmé turned to me with a small, adorable frown on her lips. Today, she was wearing a cream dress that came down to her knees. A jean jacket lay over her shoulders. Black ankle boots were on her feet and gold hoop earrings shone out in her curly brown hair that surrounded her shoulders. I kept getting distracted by her eyes.

"Yes, but you'll just be distracting."

"Really?" I smirked. "In what way?"

"Anakin!" Padme protested.

"I'm joking, I'm joking. Look, I just, I had a lot of fun Monday. And I really like you Padmè. And, I thought you maybe liked me too. But if you don't want to go on a date, that's fine. I'll leave you alone."

I turned away in disappointment. We had sat together at lunch for a week. We had snuggled on our date. Apparently those weren't clear signs for someone to like you.

"Wait, Ani."

I spun back around. Padmé had a teasing smile on her face. "You like me?"

I pressed my lips together in frustration. "Yes But I didn't think I had to tell you. It's been pretty obvious for like, 3 years."

Padmé's smile widened. "Yes I know. I wanted to hear you say it."

"That's mean."

"Well I didn't want to say it first. I have my standards. Like you said, I'm stubborn." Padmè giggled

"Wait wait, so, you like me?" I looked at her in disbelief.

Padme nodded with a shy smile.

"Oh," My face must have been bright red. I had imagined this moment in my head over the years. But know, I must have looked like awkward camel or something. "Uhh why?" Real smooth Anakin. Real smooth. My mind was screaming to say something wow Padmè! I cant believe it! I've waited for this for forever! But instead i just stared at her with my mouth hanging open.

Padme laughed at my stupid 'why'. "Because you're a sweet boy." Padme walked up to me and tucked a strand of my tousled brown hair behind my ear. Pushing herself up on tiptoes, Padme gave me a kiss on the cheek. "So you'll pick me up at 5?"

"Uh I, I mean... yes. Yes 5."

Padme smiled and walked away, calling over her shoulder. "Ok, I'll see you tonight."

I stood there for a moment in shock before stumbling away. My steps picked up slightly as it started to hit me. Padme Amidala Likes me. Holy Kriff...

Rey P.O.V
I almost tripped as I laughed at Rex's impression of Mr. G. "Oh my Atlanta Rex stop I'm gonna die."

Rex laughed with me. "I can't help the fact that they guy sounds like he's been on a respiratory inhaler for half his life."

I cackled harder. "You are gonna get in trouble if someone hears you." I glanced at a wall clock then punched his shoulder . "Now get going doofus. Soccer conditioning is starts at 3:30. Coach Plo Koon will make you run suicides till you hurl if your late again."

Rex grimaced. "Good point. See you tomorrow." He gave me a wave and jogged down the hallway. I smiled at him until he turned the corner. When I couldn't see him anymore, I sighed. Boys are so dumb. He was a great guy and I loved being friends with him. But I wasn't interested and I didn't know how to tell him. Last time I had FaceTimed Finn and Poe, I hadn't told them about the smitten brunette. That's how Padme referred to him at least.

I pulled out my phone and started scrolling through Instagram, I didn't noticed Anakin until we slammed into each other and we were sprawled on the floor.

"Oh force! I'm so sorry Rey!" Anakin yelped.

"It's fine," I laughed, "Hi Anakin."

"Hi." He responded, offering me a hand and pulling me off the ground. I noticed his face seemed to be glowing. "Are you ok?"

"Me? Yeah I'm great."

"You look excited about something. What's up?" I asked.

"Right, well Padme just told me she liked me!" He was wringing his hands in happiness.

I chuckled and crossed my arms. "So she finally got up the courage."

"Yep. Which is good because I was about to insane not knowing how she felt about me." He said.

"Aw, you guys will be cute." I responded with a smirk.

"Thanks. Where are you headed?"

"Oh," I shrugged. "No where now. I was gonna walk to Dexter's with Padme after Rex went to soccer. But she texted me and said she had a meeting concerning her position as president of the Gov. Club."

"Right, she mentioned that. Can I join you? I don't have practice but I'm meeting Padme later." Anakin asked.

I smiled. "Sure. I could use the company." Anakin grinned at me and we started walking down the hall.

"Are you playing any sports?" Anakin asked.

"Eh, I don't know. I was thinking soccer but I'm not any good. Plus, I don't know if I really want to play against my old school."

Anakin nodded. "That's understandable. I wouldn't want to play against Coursaunt High either."

"Coursant High would feel like they're on the other side of the glass."

Anakin chuckled. "I guess you're right. But there have been rumors of schools transferring athletes that are really good to different schools."

"What? Why?" I asked in alarm.

"Something about the athletic board of directors in our district wanted kids to learn to adjust and fight for the top. No just get to comfortable in their school. I'm kinda worried their gonna transfer me."

"Anakin please," I snorted, "The athletics board would be stupid to ask you to transfer for to a different school for another team. You're the star of our team and the only reason you would leave would be in they called you up for a college level place."

Anakin just shrugged. "I guess so. But I'm still nervous."

"Don't worry. Padme won't let you leave." I teased.

Anakin let out charming laugh.

"thanks for the reassurance.

"Anytime."
