Title: Facades
Author: Alley_Skywalker
Genre: Drama, Romance, Humor (of a sort), Angst, Action (sorta)
Characters: Staring: Anakin and Obi-Wan
Supporting: Padme, Siri, Qui-Gon, Palpatine, Shmi, Garen, Bant, Tru, Darra
Minor: Yoda, Mace, Maul, Grievous, Bruck, Ventress, Xanatos, Quinlan, Aayla, Barriss, Tyranus(Dooku), OCs, a bunch of other people
Summary: Can you imagine all the SW characters in high School? Can you imagine Anakin and Obi-Wan as juniors? Palpatine as the principle? Yoda as the councilor? Qui-Gon as the fencing team couch? Padme as the student council president? Mace as the history teacher who wants the PE teacher’s job? What would everyone’s lives be like then? Well that and much more right here!
Notes: This is probably one of the most radical SW AUs you’ll ever read. It’s not all humor unlike what it might sound like a lot of it is rather serious. A thing to remember is that there is NO significant age gap between Ani and Obi, they are both in their Junior year of HS as of the start of this fic. Also for characters of other species, such as Maul, Yoda, and GG, some changes had to be made to fit them into our world.
Dedication: I’d like to dedicate this fic to all my friends at the Obi/Ani thread! This fic really only exists because of you guys since you were the main inspiration fot this! Love ya all! 
Chapter 1
Temple High didn’t vary much from any other typical high school. Square and Wacky teachers, subjects of all sorts, cliques and gangs, and a social system with too many unwritten rules for an outsider to understand.
Freshman year was the time to establish your social status, sophomore year was to certify it, and juniors simply had to make sure not to lose it.
Junior Anakin Skywalker had no mind to lose his and he was making sure that this year he wouldn’t be arriving in school on the first day in his mother’s Volkswagen. Blonde, tall, with blue eyes, a million dollar smile, and a charismatic nature he could have easily been the most popular guy in school. However, Anakin left the peek to the football jocks and asertified himself a position or high rank with one exception, the Loner Accessory. I was better that way. He didn’t bother anyone and no one tried to get into his head. He was everyone’s buddy but no one’s friend. Tru and Darra were the only two people with whom he hung out consistently.
“Mom,” Anakin started, glancing wearily out the window as they were starting to get close to the high school. “Can you drop me off around the corner, please. I can walk the rest of the way.”
Shmi looked over at her son with surprise. “Ani is there something you’re not telling me?”
“No, Mom, I just want to dropped off around the corner.”
“But I always drive you to school.”
“Mom, when I get my motorbike I’m gonna be driving myself anyways.”
“Yes, but you don’t have your bike yet do you?”
Anakin sighed in exasperation. “Ok fine…I can’t arrive in school on a Volkswagen.”
Shmi glanced at him briefly. “Ani, you never had a problem with our car. Why start now?”
“Because it’s my junior year. Coming to school in my mom’s Volkswagen is like driving a Ford explorer to school.”
Smi threw him a questioning look.
Anakin went on as though he hadn’t noticed. “The only person who does that is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I really don’t get that kid. His parents could have gotten a Ferrari, for God’s sake, and what does he buy? A Ford!”
“And who is this Obi-Wan Kenobi?”
“Every teacher’s pet.”
Shmi looked over at Anakin with a disapproving stare. “I feel like you’re judging this boy. And I know I have taught you better then that.”
Anakin only looked out the window.
“Despite what you can get out here and be saved the embarrassment of not coming to school in a Ferrari.”
Anakin knew that his mom wasn’t mad at him but this had become a touchy subject for them. It was just the two of them, Anakin never knew his father or anything about him for that matter, and they weren’t exactly loaded. It had never bothered Anakin much until high school. Then things started getting complicated and what annoyed him the most was seeing preps like Kenobi throw away their money on Fords and classic books when they could have hot rides and IPods instead. He had enough pride to become resentful. He didn’t always had the means to do all the things he wanted. That was another reason for his self seclusion. No one poked around where they weren’t suppose to.
Anakin leaned over and gave his mother a quick kiss on the cheek. “Bye, Mom. Love you.”
She watched her son go with sad eyes. Anakin was growing up and he wasn’t the exuberant young child he use to be anymore. What other people thought could mean nothing or everything to him. Anakin had been saving up for a motorcycle for years now, working hard in the summers to earn the bulk of the money he needed. Maybe once that goal was fulfilled the gloom that seemed to be settling over him would lift. Shim had a feeling, though, that it wasn’t a motorcycle that her son needed, but a good friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Another summer gone and another year begun! We hope that you have refreshed yourselves and are ready for another great year of acquiring. I hope that you have all re-united with you friends for, of course, they are very important in your life, and in your school life as well. The staff and I will all work to give you a great year. Are we ready for another great year at Temple High? We you make us proud? Will you show the other schools that we are the best?”
A roar of approval went up from the jam packed gym bleachers as Principle Palpatine stopped for a moment in his Welcome Back speech.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the few people who were not giving into the presentation. Just another rally for another year. It was the same every time. He ran a hand through his sleeked back copper hair and returned his attention to his schedule. Math AP, English AP, History AP, Spanish 3, Chemistry AP, and Sociology. Another six subjects to get As in. Though he had no idea how he would survive pre-calculus AP and Chem. AP but it wasn’t like he had a choice. If this was what he needed to do to get into Harvard he would do it. Even if it killed him. He was sure his parents would tae no less. There wasn’t any such pressure from them that he could stick a finger at but he was sure that they expected it of him. Just like his step father, who was like a real father to him since he had never known his biological dad whose family name he carried, expected him to be the best on the fencing team.
But then what was pressure to him? He had lived with it for what seemed like forever to the point of barely noticing it. He just wished Garen and Bant would stop telling him that he never had any fun. He had fun. Learning was “fun.” Though everyone else’s idea of sun seemed to be going to a party and getting drunk he preferred a nice quite evening at home with an intelligent book in hand.

Mace as the history teacher who wants the PE teacher’s job?
He he he! Silly Mace Windu.

You did it! Yes! Awesome start! 
Ah, Principal Palpy sounds so nice doesn't he? 
One must wonder though if he is really that invested in the education of Temple High's younglings. 
Or if he has another agenda. Which I'm sure he does. 
Nice work.

amidalachick: You like geeky boys? Lol.
There’s till some introduction ad setting up things in this chapter but this’ll pick up spead in a chapter or two.
Chapter 2
“Obi-Wan!”
Obi-Wan peered through the crowd of students exiting the gym after the Welcome Back speech to try and find the owner of the voice so familiar to him. He finally found her in the crowd, not too far away from him, being jostled toward the gym doors. ‘Bant cut her hair,’ was his first thought.
Bant had been a friend of his since elementary school. She had pure blonde hair and gray eyes. She had always had long hair and preferred it worn in a bun. Now She had cropped it short so that the ends curled to tickle her chin. “Hello, Bant. Nice haircut.”
She laughed. “I felt like it was time to change…well, something about myself.”
“Never thought of you as a change person. Where is Garen by the way?”
“Right behind you.”
Obi-Wan whirled to face the grinning tall boy behind him. “Blast! Don’t you have anything better to do then to startle me?”
“Nope.”
“What took you so long Garen?” Bant asked slightly irritated. “We’re gonna make Obi-Wan late for class.” The comment earned her a glare from Obi-Wan.
“I, ah, had to avoid running into The Gang. Had to take the long way here.”
Obi-Wan shook his head. “Why can’t those idiots leave people alone?”
“It’s not in there nature,” Bant said. “What class do you have first, Obi?”
Obi-Wan looked down at his schedule. “Spanish 3, oh joy. I have a distasteful tendency to have unlikable people in that class along with me.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘J1, J1, where is J1?’ Anakin looked around the area he was in and sighed. He was back in the C buildings. God! He had been at this school for two years now and he STILL didn’t know where all the classrooms where. If it was another class he wouldn’t mind ditching but he actually didn’t mind chemistry.
“Can I help you? You look lost.”
Anakin swirled…and froze. There she was, standing before him with those large brown eyes and chocolate curls falling over her shoulders. Padme Amidala, the most beautiful girl in the school. Oh what was he thinking? This is the kind of girl who should be Ms. America or something. What was she saying? Oh she was asking if he needed help.
“I…ah…well…I’m looking for room J1.”
“Oh that’s all the way over there,” she said pointing across the quad. “The buildings are in alphabetical order starting from that side.”
Anakin struggled not to blush. Why hadn’t he noticed that before? “Oh, right. Thanks for the help.”
“You’re Anakin Skywalker aren’t you?”
She knew his name? Well duh! Everyone knew his name. Not to mention that project they worked on freshman year. “That’s me.”
“We worked together freshman year, remember?”
How could he forget? “I remember.”
“You’ve grown since then.” A smile so blinding that Anakin nearly lost his cool completely.
“So have you…grown more beautiful I mean.” Crap what was he saying! She was certainly the only girl -- the only person – who could make him stumble all over himself like that.
She smiled at him again. “Well I have to go to class. I’ll see you around, Anakin.”
“Cool. I’ll see you around too!” he called after her. ‘What the hell was that?’
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of them? Obi-Wan looked around the classroom in dismay. How could he be in a class with ALL members of The Gang? He listed them off in his head as they approached in formation.
At the head, Dooku Jr. Probably the smartest out of the lot.
Behind him Maul and Assaj Ventress. It looked like Assaj had stuck with her hair style, if you could call it that since she had actually shaved off all her hair so that there wasn’t really any hair to style in the first place. Maul was the biggest gangster punk Obi-Wan had ever scene. His red spiked hair and the tattooed black snake on his cheek were well known around Temple High.
Bruck and Xanatos flanked them in the back. Obi-Wan could deal with Xanatos but Bruck had taken his lunch money enough times in JR High.
Wait, he had missed someone. A guy walking behind Dooku Jr. and between Ventress and Maul. As they walked by the new kid glared at Obi-Wan with green eyes that had a disturbing yellow tinge to them. “Rich Boy scum,” he spat with a hiss.
Obi-Wan ignored the insult. How petty really. As long as they stayed at a far distance from him he didn’t care what they thought.
“Take your seats please.”
Obi-Wan hurried to take up a front row seat and sat with one hand propped under his chin.
“Buenbenidos a la clase Espanol.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anakin sauntered into first period and headed straight for the back row.
He took a seat behind Tru, one of the very few people he would call his friend. “Hey man, where’s Darra?”
“Over there,” Tru said pointing to a blonde girl several rows in front of them.
“Party pooper,” Anakin said, slightly annoyed. Darra was naturally smart. She didn’t need to be all the way up THERE.
“How’d the summer go?” Tru asked while sorting through some papers.
“Great actually. I got to be in a few races. Mom was terrified when she found out though.”
Tru nodded. “I don’t know how you can race motorcycles, Anakin. It’s insane in my opinion.”
“You’re Chinese, of course you wouldn’t understand.”
Tru turned in his seat to face Anakin. “Why’s that?”
“You’re like…calm. Not like nerdy calm…just calm. I personally love the adrenalin rush. Soon I’ll have enough green to buy myself my own motorbike. Then I won’t have to keep looking for charity cases.”
Tru shook his head turning away. “You’re gonna kill yourself some day man.”
Anakin sniggered. “And wouldn’t you love that?”
“You really need someone to talk some sense into you.”
