This story was previously posted on this website under Young Jedi Knights, but has been rewritten and revamped and moved to here.
If you've come from the Boards at the force dot net, welcome. I'm sorry for the inconvenience if you do not usually come to this website; however, as I said on the thread, this story does not fit with the parameters set by the staff and rather than get in trouble with the Powers That Be, I have decided to move it to here. Thank you for joining me again!
Since this is an AU story that takes place, not only in our galaxy, but our world as well, I should probably explain some thing first. This takes place in the New Republic of the South Pacific Island Cluster (really bad name, I know). Just think of the Star Wars Galactic Republic and put it into the form of a lot of little islands instead of big planets. Everything else should be explained in the story. The characters are based off the NJO characters starting with YJK and going up through DN, but mostly their characteristics were taken from NJO.
Title: Yavin Academy
Author: DL Puple Pencil/StarWars-Freak
Characters: Mainly Jag, Jaina, Jacen, Anikan, Zekk, Lowie, Tenel Ka, and Kyp, but many other characters are involved.
Summery: She despised him; he loathed her. It was obvious they were meant to be...
Genre: Romance mostly, but some angst, humor, and drama (aka life) thrown in
Pairings: as I have already said, J/J, A/T, J/TK are definite, but not necessarily constant (it will make sense later)
Note for future chapters: I don't hate Zekk, but I did hate his actions in DN, so I've drawn a lot from that.
Chapter 1: First Day
Jag Fel took a deep breath to calm his nerves and walked up the stairs to the giant open doors and into the classy, famous school. His family had just moved to Coruscant in his senior year, and now he would be attending Yavin Academy, one of the most prestigious schools in the Islands. He looked around cautiously at the students who milled about in the mall area. They were all dressed similar to him the grey and blue uniforms of the Academy. The dress code, however, seemed to be much more lax than in his previous school on the island of Csilla.
No one looked his way, instead focusing on their already defined cliques, but he observed them. Behind him there was a great wave of girl's excited chatter and giggling coming in from behind him. When Jag looked he saw a light haired boy about a year younger than himself. The boy sported the uniform with a casual flair that no one else had. He had a girl on his right, who wore her uniform conservatively, and a girl on his left, who didn't. Behind them, a long entourage of girls of every grade level followed them, but the leading trio didn't notice.
Jag Fel knew his senior year was definitely going to be far from what his previous years had been.
He felt strange just standing there, but he was told to wait for someone to show him around, and Jag Fel was nothing if not obedient.
Out of nowhere, Jag was nearly sent sprawling. Three figures zoomed past him on skate boards. From the little he saw of them, he could make out that there were two boys and a girl.
"Jagged Fel?" He turned at the sound of his name. There stood a tall, smiling guy about his age with dark brown hair and eyes. Jag quickly realized that the guy was Jacen Solo, the President's eldest son.
"That's me." They shook hands.
"I'm Jacen. Here's your schedule. We have all the same classes, so I guess you're stuck with me."
"Thanks." Jacen smiled and nodded. "And it's Jag, not Jagged."
"Got it. Follow me, first period starts in a few." Jacen was the instantly likeable type.
He chatted jovially about Yavin Academy and the different teachers. He asked Jag if he played any sports. Jag replied "yes" - fencing. Jacen was on the team and encouraged Jag to try out.
They got through the first half of classes rather well. The teachers were nice enough, and Jacen was obviously very popular with them and his peers. It was finally lunch and Jacen led Jag through the cafeteria to his "usual table". The twelve-seater was empty when they got to it. Jacen sat down third from the far end and motioned for Jag to sit across from him. One by one, the table began to fill up. First to come was a tall, handsome guy who walked around as though something fowl smelling was permanently under his nostrils. Jacen introduced him as Raynar Thul. Jag knew about his family's company. They nodded curtly to each other, and he sat directly to the right of Jag. The next few came, and Jag was surprised to see the same trio from before in the hallway.
"Jag, this is my younger brother, Anakin."
"Hey, how you doing?" Anakin Solo reached across the table from next to Jacen and shook his hand. Jag could tell that the younger Solo was just as amiable as his brother. "This," he pointed to the conservative blonde standing between himself and his brother, "is Tahiri. And this," he pointed to the sluttish girl that sat down next Raynar, "is Alema."
"Good to meet you."
The two sat down across from Raynar and Alema. Next to come were two guys. One carried his lunch tray on a skate board; even with the required uniform, the guy (introduced as Zekk) looked the part of a punk. The other, Tesar, had his head shaved so close, Jag almost thought he was bald, and he looked rather similar to their odd AP Bio teacher Mrs. Sebatyne. Zekk, whom Jag had an immediate dislike for, sat to Jag's left with a seat in between, and Tesar sat to Zekk's left.
Two more trays were set down. Jag hadn't even noticed that anyone was approaching. the first girl was tall and gorgeous. She sat down next to Jacen and gave him a kiss. Jacen introduced her as Tenel Ka and her friend, a shorter, pudgy girl as Tekli.
The seat between Zekk and Jag remained vacated, and Jag noticed with surprise that no one at their table had touched their food. It wasn't the disgusting type of food that usually characterized a cafeteria, but still, no one ate a thing. Jag glanced around; everyone else was eating. And that's when he saw her for the first time...
