Palpatine and Calrissian

III

"Tristan..." I'm never gonna see her again! She'll think I'm insane like my father and leave me. They always do. She can't leave me. For once in my life I feel like I've met someone who makes me feel okay. Better than okay actually. I can't lose that. Lying would mess things up though. 

"If you can stay calm and act like this is a normal conversation I'll tell you." 

"Okay..." I knew this was a bad idea but I have to say it. 

"Tristan" I took a deep breath in and rushed to finish my name," Palpatine." 

Opposite to what I thought she would react her expression stayed calm she didn't flinch or act in any way different. She just smiled and said "I knew it."

"How?"

"You're one of the palest people I've ever seen and are we ignoring your mainly black outfit?"

"Oh. It's that obvious?" I'm truly surprised. Like I know I'm pale but not THAT pale. "I don't have that light of a wardrobe. If you haven't already guessed."

"Don't worry we can fix that soon."

Wow. She's taking this so well. Most people tend to stare and slowly walk away like I'll do something. Don't get me wrong, I'm well trained in the force and have picked up capabilities. One of which I'm dying to use right now. I've never wanted to read someones mind so badly before, I never have because I think its an invasion of privacy. But now I'm about to toss that verdict out the window.

"May I see your schedule?" 

"Yeah. Uh here." When the data pad was passed our fingers brushed against each other. It felt different. I've felt many hands of course, but this was special. I know she had to have felt it too because her face went from curiosity to concern in a heartbeat. But I decided not to say anything of it, and so did she since she didn't say anything as well.

"I see , Mrs. Camdor, 1st period environmental sciences." A smile crept back to her face from before. "Today is your lucky day because I also have Mrs. Camdor. I'll take you" 

"Thanks." This id the best day ever. I have never wanted to be with a person so badly before. 

On the way there she stops and looks at me. This time with a face so stern and intimidating I can feel all the confidence I had left in my body disappear. 

"Listen, when we get in the class don't say anything and try to be undetected. Make it seem like you're like everyone else. "

"I was already planning to, but now I'm curious to why I'm being forced."

"I may have done something over the summer but it wasn't my fault. I was the Skywalkers. If anyone says anything to you please be on my side about it. Okay?" 

"Alright."

"Thank you so much."

The rest of the walk was silent. But the rest of the way wasn't far. The school was big and had many windows and few lights. As if they relied heavily on the sunlight. 

And after taking the last right turn we arrive at he class. 

"Remember Tristan. You're on my side, okay?"

"I will."

And she opened the door only to reveal a 20 set of eyes that became trained to us. 

"Hello. Ms. Calrissian please take a seat at the back desk. And Mr. Palpatine , please introduce yourself to the class."

Not only should she not speak again because of her squeaky voice but I know she did not just say my name.
