"Cal!" I could see him more easily now. He was looking at me with his icy blue eyes, and his arms crossed. He brushed his dark hair out of his face before speaking.

"Cool, huh? We can talk to each other even if we aren't physically together!"

I gawked at him. "Cool? We have a force bond and you consider that cool? Now we can end up seeing each other at the most random times! This is going to ruin my life!" I turned away from him, now with my arms crossed.

He spoke more calmly. "Kira, I know you don't really like me all that much, and I know I haven't been the nicest person to you in the past, but I'm hoping that since now we have a force connection I can actually be friends with you."

I turned back around, shocked. "Really?"

He nodded. "Really."

"Why were you always so mean to me?"

He took a deep breath. "Because everyone else was."

I eyed him. "What about this morning?"

"Natalie would be jealous if she saw me being nice to you."

"That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Natalie is my best friend." I turned away from him again.

"I'm surprised. You don't know what she's really like." He took another deep breath. "I really can't stand her. She's always like 'Cal, when will we start holding hands?' and I'm always like 'Never.' But she never gets the hint!" He rolled his eyes.

I turned back towards him. "Why do you think we have a force bond?"

"I don't know. I don't know anyone else that has one."

"My parents have one. And I have one with them as well," I told him.

"I'm not surprised," he said to me. "I know a lot about your parents."

"How?" I asked him.

"My dad is friends with someone that worked with the Resistance. He told him a lot about them."

He suddenly looked really nervous. "What's wrong?" I asked him.

He stuttered. "I- I can't tell you."

"Why?"

He looked down, then back up at me again. "Kira, your parents are going to be captured."
