**Author's Note: I am really glad you all are reading my story. I would like to point out that in the Author's Note for the first chapter I said: "I apologize if some of the things that go on don't match all of the books but this is my story." This is how I saw things in my own mind. So I am sorry if this is not what other author's said. OK, on to the Chapter.

Chapter Three: The Training

Jaina walked into the hallway and saw a group of girls exiting their own rooms. She approached them cautiously. "Hi, I'm Jaina. Are you headed to History?" The leader, a girl with long blonde hair and ice blue eyes, turned around and gave Jaina a quick once over.

"Faheline. And yes, we are. You're the new girl, right?"

"Yeah, can I walk with you. I don't really know where I am going." One of the other girls spoke this time. She had red hair and bright green eyes. Her face was covered in freckles.

"That would be great! I'm Daranna, it's great to meet you. It's so exciting to have someone new in our age group!" Faheline didn't look too happy but she didn't say anything. She just turned and walked away. Obediently, the others followed. "Faheline is the best of all the girls. She has such control over the Force."

"Definitely." Jaina looked and noticed a girl had come up on her other side. "My name's Coral. Hey, does your brother have a girlfriend? He's sooo cute." All the girls began to giggle at this.

"Jacen?" Jaina had a hard time thinking of her brother as cute. "No, he doesn't." This brought about more squeals.

"Good." Coral said. "You see the only cute guy around here is Orion." At this Faheline turned around and glared at Coral. "But he's Faheline's man, the rest of us respect her claim."

"Oh" Jaina said, trying to fit in, "Is he your boyfriend?"

"Not exactly but he's mine nonetheless. We're here." Jaina hadn't noticed that they had been walking very long but that didn't matter. She was excited about her first class as a real trainee of the Jedi Academy. She scanned the crowd, looking for Jacen. She found him quickly and walked to where he was.

"Hey." He smiled at her and moved his books, to reveal he'd saved her a seat, she took it gratefully. Coral walked up to her. "Oh, Hi Coral. This is my brother Jacen, Jacen this is Coral." Coral shook his hand and looked as if she was about to faint. Jacen smiled back, which only succeeded in making Coral even more weak-in-the-knees. "Why don't you sit with us?"

"I'd love too." She said but then Faheline looked over and shot her a nasty look. "But I have to go sit over there." She didn't look too happy.

"What was that all about?" Jacen looked a little confused.

"I don't really know." Then Jaina saw an extremely attractive young man approaching.

"Hey Orion!"

"Jacen, hey. Who's this?"

"My sister Jaina. Jaina, Orion."

"Hi" Orion said, taking a seat next to her.

"Hi." Jaina looked at him and saw Faheline over her shoulder glaring icily. "Um, I think Faheline wants you to sit with her."

"I know she does. But I don't want to so she can just suffer. She thinks she controls everyone around here but she doesn't. I can make new friends if I want. Hey, class is about to start. I warn you now, this is probably the most boring class you will have here."

"Hey Orion, Where's the teacher? I've been looking around but everybody here is in trainee robes." Jaina looked around and found her brother's observation to be correct.

"That you will find out soon." The lights dimmed and for the first time Jacen noticed a holo sitting on a pedestal in the front of the room. It lit up and a figure appeared on the screen.

"I am Streen, one of the original students of this very Academy. I am here to tell you abut the Battle with..." For the next hour the holo figure drones about the dangers of the Darkside and told a story that Jaina and Jacen had heard many times. Their Uncle had almost died because of that Battle. Finally the holo shut off and the lights came back on. Jaina rubbed her eyes.

"So, was it as fun as I said it'd be?" Orion smiled.

Gosh, he's cute. What a smile Jaina thought. Jacen laughed. Jaina realized that she hadn't cloaked her thought. She directed her thought at him intentionally this time. Don't say anything. Please?

I won't. "Oh yeah. I couldn't stop laughing. Is it always that...amusing? We have lunch next don't we?"

"Yeah." Orion looked at Jaina. "Why don't we sit together?"

Say Yes, Say Yes.

"Yeah, that'd be cool. What do you think Jaina?"

"Sounds cool to me." Just then Faheline walked up and placed her hand on Orion's arm. Jaina couldn't help but notice how perfect the two looked together, Orion's tall brown figure next to Faheline's petite blond one.

"Are you ready to go to lunch, Orion?"

"Oh, I was going to sit with the twins, you don't mind right?" The look on Faheline's face showed that she did, in deed mind but she just smiled.

"As you wish. I have plenty of other friends." She gave a smug smile and walked away towards her group. They all began to walk towards the Cafeteria but then Coral separated from them and walked toward Jaina.

"May I sit with you all? Hey, don't mind Faheline, she's used to getting all of the attention around here. She'll get over it soon enough." They started towards the Cafeteria when Jaina and Jacen stopped all of a sudden.

What is going on?

What do you mean, Uncle Luke?

I felt a sight waver around you two just now. Like someone evil was present. Do you know why?

I really don't know. Do you Jaina?

No. Will we be okay?

Yes, do not worry.

"Guys? Hello?" Orion and Coral looked at each other, confused at their new friends strange behavior.

"Huh? Yeah, we're fine. Sorry. Come on Jacen."
