Teenage Souls, Rewritten & Revamped

A/N: Okay, I've recently fallen back in love with Star Wars (kinda was uninterested for a year or so, not sure how it was possible for me to do so). I was looking over some of my old fan fictions and realized, to be blunt, they sucked. So, I'm going to rewrite this one, and finish it, and half rewrite the Return of Vader, but it's going to take a different turn, but basically the same plot. Hopefully, you'll all like the rewrites. ;) I'm keeping the old TS up for reference, since I'm on a new computer, so I don't have the Word Files saved.

A/N 2: Also, on a different note, wondering if DravenStar is still out there. She hasn't written anything in a long time, which makes me sad because she's my favorite author on the site. Okay, without further ado, the first chapter of the rewritten Teenage Souls…

Anakin sat in his chair, leaning back, and nearly asleep. He checked the chrono on the wall and rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe there was still a half hour left in the class. He wanted to fall asleep, but knew the class was important.

It was his second day of his four years, or possibly more, at University of Theed on the planet of Naboo. Since it was his second day, he was obviously a freshman, and he was nineteen years old. He had a decent schedule, except for the class he was in now. He had Jedi History, Politics, a free block of 2 hours, and then Geography. He was currently in Politics, which was a tedious class, and also a boring one. But it was smart to pay attention in it, because, being a Jedi, he would have to understand politics in order to be one of the famed "Protectors of Democracy".

His favorite class, though it wasn't his best class, was Geography. It was nice, for they were supposed to go on field trips sometimes to beautiful places on the planet. And some of the class was all about the beautiful places on Naboo. It was a good contrast to his home planet, Tatooine. He quickly shook the thought of the arid planet from his mind, for it made him think of his dead mother, which made him both sad and angry, which were paths to the Dark Side.

His best class was Jedi History. It was extremely easy, for he'd learned most of it as a Jedi. He probably wouldn't have to pay attention or study in that class at all, and it would probably still be one of the easiest classes in his life.

After school, he usually spent his time at the Academy, which was his only home, practicing his already excellent lightsaber and Force skills.

-----------------------------

Padmé, on the other hand, loved her schedule. It was the same as Anakin's, though she didn't know him very well. She loved Jedi History, for it was completely intriguing, Politics was great because she wanted to be a politician, everyone would love a free block, and Geography was awesome because she understood everything naturally, and loved learning about the landscapes of Naboo and the cultures and weathers of other planets, though she wasn't sure why.

At the moment, she was listening to the teacher intently, while he dragged on about the senate works and the various different positions that are held and what each position's duties and responsibilities were. He was giving a very broad view on it for the first week, and would spend the rest of the semester in more detail.

----------------------------------

The teacher wrapped up the lesson a few minutes early than the class actually ended.

Finally, Anakin thought getting out of his chair and walking out of the class with a smile on his face, glad that the class was finally over. He wasn't sure how he was going to survive it for the rest of the semester.

He headed toward the Geography class room, where his best friend, Obi-Wan, was heading out of. Obi-Wan, his roommate, was one of the few people Anakin knew at the college, from the Jedi Temple, but he was quickly gaining popularity among many of his class-mates, and was therefore getting to know many more.

"So, you in for multi-ball today?" he asked his friend.

"No, I have to study for that test in Jedi History this Friday," Obi-Wan replied.

"Are you serious? You're going to study?"

"Hey, I haven't been at the Academy as long as you. Cut me some slack," Obi-Wan said, though Anakin was probably right that it was unnecessary for them to study for that class.

"Okay, I'll let you bore yourself for no reason," Anakin joked and then headed to the cafeteria.

Anakin thought about the fact that he probably wouldn't be playing multi-ball whether Obi-Wan had joined him that day or not. He wasn't even sure if his classmates liked multi-ball yet, though they probably did. Most of the galaxy did, in Anakin's opinion, though it was a slight exaggeration.

He just grabbed a piece of fruit from the line, paid for it, and headed to a table where Jake and Kitster, two of his newer friends, were playing Pazaak. He just watched as he ate his piece of fruit. Though, right after he finished his fruit, he spotted a beautiful girl with chocolate brown hair that curled at the end, a few inches below her shoulders. He caught the glance of her light brown eyes before she continued walking, talking to her friends.

"Either of you know her?" Anakin asked Kitster and Jake, turning his head toward the girl.

"Yeah, she's a friend of mind. Her name's Padmé," Kitster replied.

Padmé, huh? That's a nice name for a great girl, he thought as she turned the corner and disappeared from his view.
