Next class, Music and Orchestra class.... Rey was on the choir, as was Leona, but Leona also played an instrument, mainly, grand piano, she always played piano on the orchestra as well.
She was practicing Canon in D Major while Rey listens in, as they made it before the next period bell, they got some practice in. Before the bell, Mr Boyega comes in hearing music being played on the piano, he walks in, and stumbles upon the one playing the piano. "Ms. Harris, you play so well.... What was that you played?" Mr Boyega asks, Leona shyly smiles and replies, "Johann Pachelbel, His famous piece used at weddings, Canon in D Major, this is perfect for piano and violin." "Well done, that was perfect, today's musical excerpt, is Samuel Kim's epic version of the Star Wars theme, used in the final trailer for The Rise Of Skywalker. I hope that you are up for it, it's a very emotional, yet beautiful soundtrack...." Leona looks down, then looks at Mr Boyega, and says, "I'm up for it, sir, but I play, act, and sing with emotion.... Just a heads up." Mr Boyega smiled and said, "these skills should land you either in acting or music.... But thanks to your condition, you are very anxious when you perform... Acting might be better for you, Ms Harris..."
The bell for next period finally went, and all of the classmates assembled by their selected instruments and got prepared... Matt was in Leona's music class, and he's a gifted cellist, Kylo does choir with Rey, there's a vocalisation of the epic version of the imperial march in the epic star wars theme. Ben went for violin, as there was a solo in the piece, Randy joins Kylo and Rey in the vocal section. Leona stayed with the grand piano and percussion section. Ben and Matt, sky, Rey, Randy and Kylo were warming up their vocals, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ashoka were playing woodwind, as the piece calls for woodwind instruments were with the strings. Hux was with Leona in the percussion section, playing xylophone, and so on.
"Students, now that you are all sorted into your desired positions, in both the orchestra and vocals, we can now begin the class. Please settle down and we will get started." Mr Boyega says, and the students settle down. Kylo sits a little bit quieter than usual in music class, and saw Leona was at the piano. Then Mr Boyega begins the lesson. "Ok, students, today's musical lesson is to learn to play Samuel Kim's epic version of the Star Wars theme, used in the final trailer for The Rise Of Skywalker, I have been warned by our pianist, Ms Harris, that she may cry in the process of playing it... She's a very emotional girl, and she puts emotion into playing music, singing a song or acting... Who is responsible for comforting her if the need arises?" Kylo and his brothers raised their hands, and Kylo says, "Mr Boyega, my brothers and I took her in, on the first day she arrived at First Order High School, so we can comfort her if she cries when we play the suite." Mr Boyega nodded his head, and begins to hand out the sheet music. And the piece begins with strings and piano.
(Listen to the Suite in the media banner. To get the gist of how it sounds while you read the chapter.)
As the class reach the middle of the piece, as on cue, Leona began to cry, as the tune set her off, but she held on til the end of the piece. At the end, Leona ran out of the classroom and hid in the bathroom in the corridor, in tears, the piece when she listened to it on Spotify, hit her right in the feels.... She had Drama class after lunch so she had to clean herself up free of the tears, and make herself look very very presentable for Mr Driver. Yet, he'd know that she has been crying... She is his top student...
Mr Boyega gave Leona an A++ for her effort in playing and for holding back the tears until the end of the music piece. And the bell for drama class went.... But Leona tried so hard to stop crying, heaven above how hard she tried... She walked to drama, bit as her tears clouded her vision, she bumps into Armitage, who was on his way to baseball practice with Kylo and Rey, he saw the sadness and tears in Leona's eyes, and saw that she came from the little girls room, and realised he was in her orchestra and choir class, and he says to Leona, "oh Leona.... You look horrible, it was the piece we played in orchestra, right?" Leona nods, and replied through her tears, "yes, Armitage, it was, that excerpt gets me every time it plays.... I was on my way to Drama class, with Ben and Matt... I don't know how Mr Driver is going to react to how I feel right now...." Armitage took her to class, and went to baseball practice.
Ben saw the state Leona was in, and so did Mr Driver, and he was worried. "Leona, I would like to speak to you, please?" So she goes willingly with Mr Driver, to his back room office. "Please talk amongst yourselves, while I speak to Ms Harris, I'm worried about her, just talk about the script we're going over, and I'll be back with you shortly."
Meanwhile in Mr Driver's office....
"Ms Harris, are you alright? What is wrong?" Mr Driver asks, in a soft voice, Leona replies twice as softly, "Mr Boyega had us play the epic version of the Star Wars theme, used on the final trailer for The Rise Of Skywalker... I warned him that the piece hits me every time it plays...." Mr Driver nods and replies, "you'll need to sing the most emotional song in cats later on..." She just nods. "Recover in here, Ms Harris, I'll come for you as soon as possible."
Meanwhile with Ben, he was very worried about Leona, and that's why he's super protective of her, even after a emotional piece was played and studied by the class. "Still, she couldn't help it, crying on class after playing the epic version of the Star Wars Theme.... She's very sensitive that's all." Randy says to Ben, Ben replies, "I agree, it's her zodiac sign that gives that away... She's a Cancer.... Sensitive and creative... Playing music, giving her creative drawing some professionalism and acting all come naturally to her... I think o was talking about her to Obi-Wan Kenobi in music after she ran off crying, and he told me that if she's living with us, look after her, she's not a Harris at all... She has his DNA, making her a Kenobi...." Randy replies, "I heard that her first name stayed the same, but her middle name is hyphenated. Her true name is Leona-Rose Kenobi.... She's his little sister." "She is... We should tell her... Once she recovers from the crying...." Ben says, Sky Skywalker comes over and asks, "wait what? Our transfer student is actually a relative of Obi-Wan Kenobi?" Ben nods and replies, "she has a brother, right under her nose... He's in the drama class.... Obi-Wan! Come on over here!" Obi-Wan walks over to Ben, and he says to Sky, "Ms Skywalker, pleasure to meet you, yes, it's true.... I hid my sister on Earth to protect her from the dark side.... now she's back with me... Leona-Rose Kenobi is my younger sister. I have her signet ring here." "Shall I give it to her when she recovers?" Sky asks, and Obi-Wan nods saying. "You can tell her that I'm her brother, and that is her signet ring.
After a while Leona finally recovered, and she was met by Sky and Mr Driver, and Mr Driver says, "how are you feeling now, Leona? You worried us all..." Leona replies, "I am now, thank you sir, and Sky, what are you doing here?" Sky hugs Leona and says, "as a member of the student body council, I have you to look after, but Ms Harris, you're not a Harris.... This is your family signet ring. You're a Kenobi. Obi-Wan is your brother." Leona accepted the fact that she's a Kenobi and puts the signet ring on her finger, and reunites with Obi-Wan.
