Chapter 1: Fitting In, and other Highschool Impossibilities


A flurry of red gold hair streaked across the street, causing several cars to brake rapidly to avoid hitting the athletic young girl who was in enough of a hurry to ignore safety precautions. Mara Jade had no intention of being late on her first day of school, especially after she had been given the chance to attend again with a fresh start. She had even been given the chance of going to a brand new school, far from the troubles at the last one. Mara did not feel like ruining this new chance by something as silly as showing up late.

The only thing that really that really bothered her was the uniform she was wearing, which she had not yet quite gotten used to. The grayish skirt fell down to her knees, and was a general nuisance whenever she tried to run in it, especially now; she was barely able to keep from falling down every couple of seconds. The only thing sustaining her was a firm grip on the skirt?s hem, keeping it above her knees, and a general sense of balance that had always served her well in athletic endeavors. She doubted that she looked exceptionally proper, but at least she wouldn?t be late.

Her life had been on the upswing lately, ever since she?d moved in with her new foster parents, Anakin and Padme. They were nice people, even though Anakin had some kind of awful injury from the last war that kept him in a specially designed life support suit. Padme had never stopped loving him, even after she?d learned of his injuries, and they still had as happy of a marriage as possible. Sure, there were spouts of anger every once in a while, but every family had those. They had been very supportive of Mara as well, always willing to help out, but sometimes Mara thought that Padme was too kind: she hadn?t woken up Mara this morning until after the girl had hit her snooze alarm seven times. It was almost as if Padme didn?t want to disturb her from her sleep, even if she had school.

Padme had even insisted on making Mara breakfast, despite her hurry to get out of the door; even now, Mara had a piece of toast gripped firmly in her mouth as she ran. She didn?t have the heart to tell Padme that she hadn?t wanted breakfast, so she decided she would eat it on the run.

Mara grinned slightly, which was hard to do with the toast in her mouth, as she looked up and saw the school looming ahead. Coruscant High was a brand new facility, designed to take on the load of the hundreds of families moving into the suburbs. At several levels, it looked pretty impressive, as far as Mara could tell. At this point, she didn?t really care quite how it looked, as long as she got there in time.

She was so preoccupied with this goal that by the time she noticed the other student running around the upcoming sidewalk corner, the collision had already happened. However, the toast managed to somehow remain in her mouth, and she kept her grip on her lunchbox even as she hit the ground hard.

She yanked the toast out of her mouth with her free hand and cried out, ?Hey, watch where you?re going!? as the other student said the exact same thing.

Mara looked up, getting a bearing on her surroundings, and immediately noticed that this particular student was exceptionally good looking. He had a tousle of brown hair, a sheepish grin that would probably melt any girls heart, and eyes to die for. He did things to a school uniform that Mara didn?t think were quite possible. She had never been very interested in boys as far as dating was concerned, especially just in the area of looks; she preferred men she could talk to. But if more boys looked like this, she decided she?d have to change her opinions. Mara looked up and saw that the boy wasn?t alone, however; a girl about the same age as her was staring down at her. The girl had a long, braided tail of brown hair hanging down her back, and wore the same type of uniform as Mara. If looks could kill, that one would probably destr

 

"Oh, that?s just Palleon and a couple Nogrhi. For some reason they all get along together; probably because nobody at the school much pays attention to them. I just think they sit near Thrawn so they can copy off his tests."

ROTFLMAO @ Alex & Coota! This is hilarious stuff, Alex. More please.
