Chapter 1
Jaina had calmed herself. She almost started crying, though, when she read the first reason to kiss her. It read:
Show Jagged Fel who can control a Jedi.
That could mean something Jaina didn't want to know about. It didn't break her heart that it wasn't Jag who wrote it; obviously the person who wants to kiss her thought Jag liked her. No, what made her want to cry was that she knew who wrote it. Zekk. He had been in her room before she had gone to bed. He said he wanted to see how she was and then he left. Evidently he had left something behind. Jaina didn't know if it was on purpose or not, she only knew she didn't like it.
She was putting the datapad away and throwing away the datacard when a knock sounded on her door. She involuntarily jumped and dropped the datapad, breaking it. She muttered a Corellian curse under her breath and stretched out her Jedi senses hoping it wasn't who she thought it was. Frowning she walked to her door and opened it.
Zekk was staring back at her. "I heard something break, are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah. You just startled me when I was putting my datapad away. It was kinda old anyway," she said trying to smile.
Zekk could tell it was forced. "Is something wrong, Jaya?"
Her eyes flared and she yelled at him, "Don't call me that! You make it sound like I'm a child!"
He flinched from her admonishment, "Sorry. Didn't know you were so touchy about it."
"Well, it would have been okay had a friend said it but after you left me on Hapes I stopped considering you one," she spat out angrily.
She could see the hurt in his eyes as he replied, "I'm sorry, Jaina. I didn't want to have to fight you if you went dark. I know I wouldn't have been very hard to turn and then someone else would have to turn two Jedi back."
She felt herself run into the refresher door. She thought, Wow! How'd I get here? Oh, man. He's probably going to kiss me. "Oh, I understand." Her hands were shaking and when he noticed he grabbed them.
"What's the matter?" he said as if he didn't know. She then leaned herself completely on the refresher door.
She tore her hands from him saying, "Zekk, don't." Just as he was about to reply the 'fresher door opened and Jaina fell in on Jag. They both fell to the floor with a thud.
"Oh," said Zekk slyly. "I guess I'm too late. You already did someone tonight."
Right after those words left his mouth Jag jumped on him, punching him hard in the face. A crack sounded as either Jag's knuckles or Zekk's nose broke.
Jaina then yelled out, "Noo! Stop it!" She rushed in trying to break them up and then Zekk's attack went from Jag to Jaina. She used the force to push him away and wiped away the blood she felt on her chin.
She glared at him. "How dare you say that to me. If you thought I'd forgive you for leaving me on Hapes you can forget it and if you think I'll forgive you for this you can forget it. I'll never, ever, consider you a friend again. That's a promise."
He looked at her disbelieving. "You think I wanted your friendship? Oh, boy. Sluts really are morons." Before he could say anymore Jaina kicked him in the groin.
She glared harder at him, "No one calls me a slut and gets away with it." And with that she slammed him into the wall and out her door. He crumpled to the floor and just for good measure she kicked him in the stomach, causing him to groan. She smiled and walked back into her room, closing her door with the force.
