Chapter II: Class in Session
Luke and Biggs found a seat in the crowded auditorium. In a minute, their principal would come out and announce which class they were in. An old Gran walked toward the center of the room. After a few minutes, she started saying who was in 8-1. "I will say the names in alphabetical order." She said in a strong accent. "Biggs Darklighter." After that the seconds passed like hours as Luke waited for his name to be called. "And last but not least, Luke Skywalker. Now, will everyone I just mentioned go through that door where your teacher will lead you to your classrooms. Luke and Biggs started walking. "Close one, huh." Biggs said. Luke replied, "It couldn't have been any closer."
Luke and Biggs arrived in their classrooms and grabbed some seats next to the window. Their teacher was a Gammorean. She snorted "Welcome students. I will be your teacher this year. I will also teach science. Now take out your books and write a report on what you did this summer." "What did we do this summer?" Luke whispered to Biggs. "Dunno. Just lie." Biggs answered.
After thirty minutes, Luke and Biggs were done. Their teacher, Mrs. Roort, came to collect the papers. Since it was the first day of school, they spent most of the day getting to know eachother. Before they knew it, the day was over. "Hey, Biggs?" Luke began "Where did you get that Skyhopper?" "I found right behind a junkyard in Mos Espa." Biggs replied. "Mos Espa is kinda far." Luke said "It would take us forever to get there." "Um, well, you see, I modified my Skyhopper with some extras." "How fast can it go?" Luke asked. "Really fast." Biggs replied.
Within minutes they were speeding over the sandy landscape of Tatooine. As they were staring at a bantha herd, Luke checked the dials and saw that they were going really fast. "Mos Espa is only 20 miles away." Biggs said. "Biggs, are we flying over the Tusken Camp?" Luke asked. "Yep. It's the shortest route." Biggs replied. "Those Tuskens are pretty good snipers." Luke said. "We'll outrun them. If not, I'll just break out one of the extras on this thing." Biggs said. Soon enough, the Tuskens started shooting at the ship, but they were no match for the Skyhoppers speed.
A few minutes later, they reached Mos Espa. This was the farthest away from home that Luke had ever been. Luke knew that Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru would be furious if they found out.
A/N: Sorry if the first two chapters were short. I promise the next will be longer.
