Maya POV
Later we arrived back to the temple, I headed straight to my room, however on the way I saw Alexa and Rendal talking. I wasn't in the mood to talk to them so I tried to just walked passed them, but then I heard my name.
"Maya wait up!" I stopped and I turned around. It was Alexa. I gave her a small smile.
"Hi Alexa." I sighed.
"Hi Maya."
"I heard the mission was a success! So what did you think of your first assignment?"
"It went ok I guess." I shrugged.
"Where is Dooku? Did he escape?" Alexa asked.
"No." I shook my head. "Skywalker killed him."
"What?!" She stared at me shocked! "No Anakin wouldn't kill him! I know he wouldn't!"
"Well he did Alexa, I told him not to kill him and the chancellor told him to kill him. Skywalker listened to the chancellor and he didn't listen to me." I replied as my anger bubbled up inside me.
I'm angry with Skywalker, and I'm upset with the Chancellor for telling Skywalker to kill him!
"Well I'm going to go to my room, I'm quite tired. Bye Alexa."
"Bye Maya." She replied and I headed to my room.
Once I arrived their the metal doors opened and I walked in, hearing the doors closed behind me I put my hand in my pocket and took out count Dooku's lightsaber and stared at it.
Why did I take it? But it is good to have. Did I do the right thing to take this?
My mind was telling me that I did the right thing but my gut was saying I was stupid to take it. If someone found out about it I would probably end up getting in trouble for taking Dooku's lightsaber. So, I put the lightsaber in the closet. That way no one would find it without having to do a deep dive into the back of my wardrobe. I then sat on the bed briefly and looked around my room. The place was a total mess again. So, after heaving a sigh, I got up off my butt and started tidying up.
When I finished tidying up my room and my stomach started growling. I'm going to get some dinner the metal doors opened and I walked out of my Room and walked to the mess hall I saw Alexa and Rendal. I called their names.
"Alexa! Rendal!" They stopped walking and turned to look at me I ran over to them. 'Hey.'
"Hey Maya." Rendal smiled.
"Where are you two off to?"
"We were going to get some dinner."
"Same here. Can I join you two?"
"Yeah sure Maya." Alexa nodded.
"Thanks." I gave them a big smile.
When we arrived at the mess hall we went in the line and got a tray. Once we got the slope on the tray we went to find a table.
"There's a empty table over there." I said.
"Ok let's sit there." Rendal suggested.
So we sat down at the table and we started eating, the food was horrible but I tried not to think of how disgusting it is. Rendal Alexa and I talked and ate, which was good as we've never had a right conversation before.
"Well I need to go to the bathroom anyone else need to go?" Alexa asked.
"I'll go with you Alexa." Rendal replied.
"We'll be right back Maya."
"Ok Alexa." I nodded and they walked off.
I was still eating when someone came over to me.
"Is this seat taken?" I looked up and it saw was a boy who looked to be about my age. He was human, and he had chocolate brown hair and eyes to match.
"No, it's not taken."
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" The boy asked smiling at me.
"Go ahead." I nodded.
"Thanks." He put his tray on the table and sat down. "I saw your friends leave and you were on your own so I thought I would come over."
"Oh right, well my friends they just went to the bathroom. They will be back soon."
"I see. Well I'm Jay." The boy put his hand out.
"I'm Maya." I replied smiling and I shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you Maya."
"And it's nice to meet you too Jay."
"So what do you think of living in the temple do you like it here?" Jay asked me.
"Yes I like it here, it's great. How about you do you like it here?"
"Yeah it's nice here."
"Do you have a master yet, Jay?" I asked.
"Yes I have a master. Do you?"
"Yes I do."
Before either of us said anything else Alexa and Rendal came back.
"Hi Maya." I looked up at them.
"Hey." Rendal sat down beside while Alexa sat opposite us. "Who's your friend Maya?" Rendal said tensing and nudging me with his elbowed. I then elbowed him back, but harder. "Ouch! Maya!"
"Oh sorry Rendal. I'm so clumsy." I said giving him a little smirk.
Alexa, Rendal, Jay and I continued to chat with one another for a while, telling each other about what had happened that day and a few different things about ourselves, before I felt myself starting to get a bit tired.
"I think it's time for me to go back to my room now." I announced.
"Same here." Alexa nodded. "I'll go with you Maya."
"Ok Alexa." We got up from the table. "Bye Rendal, bye Jay."
"Bye you two." They replied.
We then walked out of the mess hall and started walking down one of the many marble corridors when a thought hit me.
"Alexa may I ask you something?"
"Sure Maya."
"Do you trust me?" I asked. For a moment she just looked at me confused by my question then she nodded.
"Yes, I do trust you."
"Are we friends now?" I asked her again.
"Yes maya, we are friends... Why are you asking me these questions?"
"Well Alexa, if we are friends now friends we can't keep secrets from each other and... I want to ask you something and you can't lie." I looked at her seriously.
"Ok Maya, ask away."
I looked at the ground for a moment, debating in my head whether or not I should be asking this then I looked back up at her.
"Are... Are you and Rendal dating?" She looked at me a little surprised.
"Maya, Rendal and I are friends." She tried to explained while I sighed. I could tell that she wasn't being totally honest with me.
"Alexa... I told you about my past and it was hard for me, but I told you because I trust you. If you trust me then tell me the truth. Please Alexa. Are you and Rendal dating?" This time it was Alexa who sighed.
"Yes Maya. Rendal and I are dating, but you have to promise not to tell anyone!"
"I promise Alexa." I nodded. "Anyway there is no one I can tell about you two... How long have you been going out?"
"Since I was 12."
"12?!" I asked shocked.
"Yes and sh! Keep your voice down, it tends to echo a bit in here." She said, trying to hide a giggle at my reaction.
"Does Anakin know about you and Rendal?"
"Yep."
'What about Obi Wan, does he know?'
"Yes. Wait... Maya did you just say Anakin? As in Master Skywalker's first name?" Alexa asked.
I lied and shook my head.
"No... Well I'm going to bed, night Alexa."
"Night Maya." She replied and the metal doors opened so I walked in. Once they were shut again I took my shoes off and put them to the side then I sat down on the bed before lying down and falling into a deep sleep.
