Hi everyone! I'm katnissahsokapotter! This is my very fist published fanfic! I hope everyone enjoys it, please read and review, and MAY THE FORCE BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR.
Chapter One
Ahsoka Tano
My heart pumps as I walk through the doors. It's my very first day of Middle School, my very first day at Coruscant School for Tomorrow's Leaders. It's my very first time at a boarding school, so I have no idea what to expect. The first day of school is just for getting to know the place and meeting new people. The first thing I do once I step inside is walk to the front office, where I'll get my room assignment. All I know is that there are four kids to a room. I hope the other three girls are nice.
I step inside the office and walk to the desk. An old human woman sits there and smiles at me. "Hello, child. Welcome to Coruscant School for Tomorrow's Leaders. I'm Ms. Jocasta. Who are you?" I smile at the woman and reply. "I'm Ahsoka Tano." Ms. Jocasta looks at me intently and presses a button on her computer. "I suppose you'll be wanting your room assignments and your schedule." I nod. She looks at the computer again. "What grade are you in, Ahsoka?"
I finger my lekku nervously. "I'm going into sixth grade." Ms. Jocasta looks at me again. "You look very young to be entering Middle School." I look at her, smiling. "I get that a lot." She laughs kindly and pulls a file from her desk drawer. She takes out three pieces of paper and hands them to me. I smile. "Thanks." Ms. Jocasta smiles. "You're welcome. Now, you best be getting to your room. If you would like to talk with me later, find me in the Library."
I walk outside the office and look at the papers. The first one is my room assignment. I'm in room 6-34. That means I'm on Floor Six, in room 34. The second piece of paper is a map of the school. I follow it up to Floor Six, room 34.
I open the door slowly to see two girls already in the room. One is wearing a knee-length navy skirt and a short sleeve navy top. She's has a large brown belt, and in her brown hair is a navy headband. The other girl is wearing a bright orange jumpsuit with tank sleeves. She has a leather red jacket on over it, and her dark brown hair is done in a high ponytail. I'm not sure what species either girl is.
The one in navy walks over to me. "Hello. I'm Barriss Offee, sixth grader. Who are you?" Barriss has a strange accent, one I've mainly seen in Holofilms. She does a slight curtsy when she speaks. I feel suddenly awkward at the gesture and smile back. "I'm Ahsoka Tano; I'm also in sixth grade. This is my first year at this school." Barriss smiles. "Same."
The other girl, the one in the orange steps forward and looks at me. She's a lot taller than I am. She smirks. "I'm Aurra. Aurra Sing. Don't cross me." I step back nervously. "I'm Ahso-" Aurra cuts me off. "I know your name, sweetie. You just said it to Barriss. Look, I'm new here, just like you. And I'm only in this kriffhole of a school because I was expelled from everywhere else." And she turns back to her bed. Barriss whispers to me. "She's a bit… odd." She gestures to the bed next to hers. "You can have this bed."
I nod, and begin to unpack my stuff. I put my clothing into the drawers near my bed. I didn't pack much. I then take out a stuffed animal from my bag. It's a purple dragon with a green belly. I've had it since I was in Fourth Grade. It's kind of embarrassing, but he's from My Little Pony. I call him Spike. Just as I'm taking him out, Barriss looks over. "What's that?" She asks. I shove Spike back into my bag. "Nothing! Nothing at all."
She smiles. "Don't worry, I know what it is. I watch it too." And I smile. I take Spike back out and put him on my bed. I sit down on the bed and look at Barriss. "I wonder who else we're rooming with." Barriss looks back. "I don't know, Ahsoka. I only hope they're decent." And she lowers her voice. "Certainly not like Aurra." I nod. Boy, were we wrong.
The door suddenly opened and a girl wearing a long, purplish-reddish skirt and a mini-top of the same color strides in. She has deep lips and ghastly pale skin. The oddest thing I found about her was that she had no hair, and nothing instead of hair. She was completely bald.
I smile at the girl and introduce myself. "I'm Ahsoka Tano. Who are you?" The girl snarls at me. "Asajj Ventress. Now, be quiet." I look at Barriss with surprise. I can see that she is done unpacking as well. Barriss walks over to me and speaks quietly. "I think it'd be best if we both get going." I nod.
The two of us exit the room and Barriss grabs me by the arm. She pulls me through the hallway so we are far from our room. She speaks quietly, but forcefully. "We're not safe." I wrinkle my nose in confusion. "What do you mean, Barriss? We're perfectly safe!" She looks at me sharply. "I don't trust the others! You heard Aurra! She's been kicked out of so many places, it's not even funny. I don't even want to get near Asajj."
I nod. "I don't like 'em either." Barriss begins to walk down the stairs, and I follow. As we're walking, she speaks again. "So, who's your student guide?" I look at her weird. "What's that?" Barriss rolls her eyes. "You didn't read that paper Ms. Jocasta gave you did you?" I shake my head. Barriss looks at me again. "A student guide is the person they assign to guide you around the school, to make sure you feel welcome and other things like that. You want to meet ours?" I nod. "Sure!"
Barriss smiles. "Okay! The paper says we meet them in the gymnasium. I think they'll have a list of everyone's guides, so you can meet yours as well!" We race down the stairs and I follow Barriss to the gym. How she memorized the map so quickly, I'll never know. But I'm not complaining.
Once we get there, a blue-skinned Twi-lek girl walks over to us. "I'm Aayla Secura. I'm guessing you two are here to meet you're guides?" We nod. Aayla looks at us. "What are your names?" I reply. "I'm Ahsoka Tano." I gesture to Barriss. "This is Barriss Offee." Aayla opens up a binder and looks in it for a few moments. "Barriss, your guide is going to be Luminara Unduli. Ahsoka, your guide is…" Aayla pauses for a second and says the name as though she is confused. "Anakin Skywalker?"
Barriss and I walk away from Aayla and go to find our guides. We walk over to a tall girl, who is Barriss's species. She's wearing black. I look at her. "Excuse me; do you know where we can find Anakin Skywalker and Luminara Unduli?" She smiles. "I think Anakin Skywalker is over there." And she points to four boys who are talking. "As for Luminara, that's me. Are you Barriss?"
I shake my head, and Barriss curtsies to Luminara. "I'm Barriss. This is my friend Ahsoka." Luminara introduces herself to Barriss, and I walk over to the four boys and tap one of them on the shoulder. He turns around and looks at me. The boy has light brown skin and blonde hair shaved down to a buzzcut. He has an accent a little like Barriss's, but a bit different. He begins to speak to me. "Yes?" I look up at him. "Are you Anakin Skywalker?" He shakes his head. "I'm Rex. You must be Ahsoka." I nod.
The other three boys turn to face me. One looks just like Rex, only he has a shaved head, the one next to that one has light brown hair and brown eyes. The one next to him has longish brown hair and a small scar on his left eye.
I look at the boys. "Which one of you is Anakin?" I ask. The boy with the light brown hair responds. He has an accent a lot like Barriss's. "I'm Obi-Wan. You must be Ahsoka." I smile and nod. Obi-Wan continues. "I know you met Rex. The boy who looks like him is Cody. They're twins. The boy next to me is Anakin."
Anakin turns around and frowns. "So, you're the little kid I'm in charge of?" I frown back at him. "I have a name." He folds his arms. "You're pretty bold." I smirk. "I just don't like jerks." And I shove him. Anakin looks at me, annoyed. "Well, Snips, neither do I."
I breathe deeply ant try to stay calm. "What did you just call me?" He scoffs. "I just called you Snips." I think for a moment about a decent comeback. I suddenly have an idea. "Whatever, Skyguy." He looks at me, clearly annoyed. "Shut up, Snips." I snarl back. "You're not the boss of me, Skyguy!" "Yeah, I am!" "No you're not!"
We go on like that for a few minutes until Obi-Wan interferes. "Anakin, Ahsoka, stop this at once!" We both turn away from each other. He continues. "Anakin, I expected you to be mature about this. You may only be in Eighth Grade, but you must be nice to Ahsoka." Obi-Wan turns to me. "Ahsoka, don't egg him on." I frown. "I wasn't egging him on. He started it!"
Obi-Wan looks at me for a second and speaks. "I need to speak to you, Ahsoka. In private." I nod. Obi-Wan takes me away from the group and outside the gym. He looks at me. "Listen, Ahsoka. I'm sorry about Anakin. The thing is, we don't usually pick guides that aren't in 9th grade or up. This is Anakin's second year. I was also a guide in 8th grade. I was Anakin's guide."
I look at Obi-Wan. "I feel so sorry for you." Obi-Wan ignores my comment and continues. "Anakin isn't the most responsible person, and the school though that by giving him a younger student to watch over, he'd learn to be responsible. Unfortunately, he doesn't like the idea." I frown at Obi-Wan. "I'll give him a second chance, I guess." Obi-Wan smiles, and we walk back.
Anakin walks up to me. "I'm sorry, Snips." I look up at him. "I'm sorry too, Skyguy." He smiles, slightly annoyed. "Let's try and get along." "I agree." Anakin and I walk out of the gym and away from the group.
He looks at me. "Do you know your schedule?" I shake my head. "I wasn't given it yet." Anakin smiles. "'Course you haven't, Snips." I look at him, confused. "Why wouldn't I?" He smirks and opens his backpack. "'Cause they gave it to me!" And he hands me the schedule. I fold it up and put it into my pocket.
I look at him. "Skyguy, do you by any chance have a list of the student guides?" "Yeah, why?" I finger my lekkus. "No reason, I was just wondering the guides of my roommates." Anakin pulls another piece of paper from his bag.
"So, who are your roommates then?" I think for a moment. "Asajj Ventress, Aurra Sing, and Barriss Offee. I already know who Barriss's guide is." Anakin looks at the piece of paper. "Well, Aurra's guide is Hondo Okona, and Asajj's guide is Dooku." I look at Anakin. "I feel sorry for Dooku and Hondo."
Anakin shakes his head. "Don't feel sorry for them. They deserve it. Anyway, me and the gang are going for ice cream. Wanna come?" I reply. "Who'll be there?" Anakin smiles at me. "Well, me, Obi-Wan, Rex, Cody, Obi-Wan's girlfriend, Satine, and my girlfriend, Padme." I nod. "Why not?" We go catch up with the others, and Cody drives up to the nearest ice cream place. (Cody and Rex are in 10th Grade and are 16, so they can drive.)
When we walk in, I realize that I don't have any money. I follow the others up to the counter as they order. When the man points to me, I say, "I don't want anything, thanks." I see the others are already sat down, so I go and sit at the empty chair next to Padme. She looks at me. "Ahsoka, why didn't you get anything?" I look at her. "I forgot to bring money." Padme looks at me. "That's alright! I'll buy one for you." I shake my head. "It's alright. You don't have to."
Padme smiles at me. "I insist!" I reply. "Alright, I guess." And we walk up to the counter. I order a small scoop of mint ice cream. But before the attendant can get it for me, Satine runs up. She smiles. "Ahsoka, you can get something bigger. I'll pay for half of it." I finger my lekkus nervously, and Padme talks to me. "Go ahead, Ahsoka." I smile at the man. "Could I change that to a chocolate waffle cone with one scoop of mint and another scoop of cotton candy?" The man nods. My eyes wander to a jar of Gummy Bears behind the counter. I look at the man again. "Could I also get a mix-in of gummy bears?" I get the ice cream, and Satine and Padme pay for it. I thank them both, and I sit down with everyone.
There's a strange silence, and Padme begins to talk to me. "So Ahsoka, what are your roommates like?" I smile. "Well, first we have Aurra. I think she just escaped prison or something. She wears this orange jumpsuit and claims she's only here since she's been expelled from everywhere else."
I pause. Satine looks at me. "Who else?" I continue. "Then there's Barriss. She's real nice, but very, um, proper. When I met her, she curtsied. I have a feeling she's very smart and most likely rich. But she doesn't seem to act like a snob. Last, we have Asajj. I don't know much about her, but I don't like her one bit. Barriss thinks that Asajj is gonna murder her in her sleep."
They all laugh. Rex talks next, and raises his cup. "All in favor of making Ahsoka an official member of our group?" They all smile and raise their ice creams. I smile. Anakin looks at me and stands on his chair. "I hereby announce that Ahsoka Tano is a member of the most awesome group ever!" And they all cheer. My lekkus darken with embarrassment.
Within a few minutes, we all finish our ice cream. Obi-Wan asks me, "Ahsoka, as the newest member, what would you like to do next?" I shrug. "How about we, um, uh, …" I trail off. I honestly have no idea what I'd like to do next. Then a brilliant idea comes to my mind. "We should go to that free holofilm thing at the park!" Everyone nods but Cody. He looks at me. "What holofilm are they showing?" I think for a moment. "They're playing The Starving Pageant. It's one of my favorites." Cody smiles. "Let's go." And we get to the park and watch the movie. I could tell that Cody, Rex, and Satine hadn't seen it. Rex and Cody both enjoyed it, but Satine was appalled at the violence, though she did enjoy it.
When the holofilm finished, the sky was getting dark. Obi-Wan spoke up. "Who wants to go bowling and laser tag?" Everyone agreed. It was 8:00 at night, and we had an hour left. We played a quick game of bowling (Cody won, Padme came in second, Satine was third,) and then went on to play laser tag.
I've never played laser tag before, so it was new to me. Overall, it was really fun. Rex had the highest score. Cody came second. Padme was third, I was fourth, Anakin and Obi-Wan tied for fifth, and Satine was sixth. When we got in the car, I realized it was 9:00 at night. 9:00 was curfew. I began to get worried, but Anakin reassured me that he knew how to get in unnoticed.
When I go back to my room, Barriss looks at me. "Ahsoka, where were you?" I shrug. "Nowhere, just went for ice cream." She whispers to me. "It's a half hour past curfew, Ahsoka. Don't do it again!" I look at the clock, and sure enough, it's 9:30 at night. I roll my eyes at her. "I know." Aurra stands up and looks at me. "So, Little Miss Angel thinks she can just stay out late, huh? What a risk!" She and Asajj laugh.
I scowl. "Be quiet, Aurra. Like you've never done anything wrong." Asajj snarls. "I suggest you be quiet, brat, or I show you my favorite toy." I wince as Aurra draws her fingers across my neck. I can tell that Asajj's favorite "toy" is most likely a knife.
I grab my pajamas and go into the bathroom to get changed. When I come out, Barriss is nowhere to be seen. I climb onto my bed and grab Spike when a hand reaches out from under my bed. I can tell by the markings that it is Barriss. I climb under too and whisper to her.
"Barriss, what are you doing?" She whispers back. "Asajj showed Aurra her 'toy' while you were out. I think it's a knife, 'Soka. I'm hiding, and I recommend that you do the same." I nod. "The bathroom would be a better place."
So me and Barriss sneak into the bathroom and lock the door. I lie down next to it. Barriss sits in the bathtub. We whisper for a bit, and then I turn the light out. We whisper some more, and I tell Barriss about my evening. She tells me about Luminara. It takes a while, but we both eventually fall asleep.
