Note 22
Sabe,
I'm on vacation again with my parents. We're visiting the mountains right now. It's literally the only place on Coruscant that is not covered in city. The snow is beautiful. Krilien, Daria, and a couple others (I'll tell you about them later) are here with our parents. I learned to ski…it's much harder than I thought it would be!
Mother has been thinking about maybe sending me to another etiquette school; just to have something to do. (As if I don't have enough to do as Queen of Naboo). I've managed to convince her not to send me, but she did insist on music, embroidery and language lessons.
The music isn't so bad. Actually, I've been waiting to learn for a while since all my new friends have some sort of musical talent. Embroidery isn't so bad either, but language…! I feel hopeless! Vocabulary's not so bad…it's just the grammar I don't understand.
We had my sixteenth birthday party; I wish you could've come. It would've been more fun. It was actually kind of enjoyable. I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago. It was beautiful, but it was an evening wedding and I was feeling quite depressed at the time. (I'll tell you why later).
As for my new friends, they are Leilana, Channa, and Derik. At least, I thought Derik was my friend. But he's been ignoring me lately and hurting my feelings. I want to hit him so bad. He slighted me badly at the wedding. Every time I tried to talk to him, he walked away or talked to somebody else. And he waited till I was in earshot to ask another girl to dance. He asked Channa when she was standing next to me. I thought that she would tell him off, she looked so mad.
I don't have a crush on him; I know that much. But we were friends and we had a lot of fun. Then all of the sudden, it's like I don't exist. I've been trying to figure out if I did something or said something wrong. I just can't figure it out! Daria said that he's a jerk anyway and to ignore him. But still it hurts.
Leilana is the daughter of Senator of Ryloth. She's Twi'lek and very pretty. She and Daria have been friends since they were thirteen, and Daria introduced me. Leilana's very sweet and quiet, but if you make her mad, she gets mad! And she can be incredibly stubborn.
Channa is the daughter of a businessman here on Coruscant. Mother doesn't like me being with her, because her family is basically "common". Frankly, I don't care. Channa is spunky and a lot of fun. She has a boyfriend, but I have yet to meet him. She's human, with dark brown hair and gray eyes.
Yeah, Krilien's been stressed. One day, when Daria and I were visiting, he came in and asked if we could just go somewhere, anywhere. I think he and his father argued. They've been doing that a lot. He seems to be spending more time over her than at home. It worries me.
Oh, and did you hear that Krilien's mom died? It was in a landspeeder accident. Her driver lost control and another speeder collided with them. Krilien was with her and he had to sty in the Hospital for a while. His mom died almost instantly. I've never seen him so lost or sad. I don't know what to tell him.
He seems better now; I mean it happened a couple months ago. But still…Daria's been helping. She lost her mother too, so she knows what he's going through.
Yes, I have given up on Krilien, Leilana, Channa, and I are trying to get him with Daria. It's great fun! Krilien is sooo oblivious, so that part is easy. But Daria is much shrewder, so we have to be careful.
Um, any guys? Well, don't tell anybody, but the Corellian Senator has a very good-looking son. I've been trying to get up the courage to go and talk to him. (And get this Sabe: he's not a blond. Probably the first brunette I've fallen for).
Don't laugh Sabe. Sometimes it can be fun…but most of the time I can't understand a word in the opera and the parties are mostly politic functions. Though I do love to dance…
Palpatine has also been a frequent visitor. I think he's doing a good job, and so does father.
Oh goodness, Anakin. I totally have not thought of him for months. Yeah, I guess that was kind of weird for me, but it got to be a habit and I would start looking before I realized what I was doing. I hope the kid's okay. He'd be what, eleven now?
I hope you and Caleb can come visit. Everyone wants to meet you both. Actually, they are here right now and Channa is giving me a look, so I'd better go.
Hope to hear form you soon,
Padme
PS – Everyone wanted to write their own note.
Hi! It's Krilien. How's Caleb doing? You guys need to come see us and soon! Say hi to Caleb for me.
This is Daria (remember me?). Hope you guys are doing well.
Hi! I'm Channa and I just wanted to say hi. I hope I can meet you some day! Padme talks about you all the time (don't worry, it's all good stuff
Padme talks about you all the time (don't worry, it's all good stuff ^__^)
I'm Leilana. I would like to meet you very much, but I would prefer to go to Naboo. From what Padme says, it's lovely. Um, I'm not really sure what to say here. Um, bye, I guess.
Padme again. I've got to go; Mother says I have to meet somebody and then we are going sledding. (Yay!) I'll try and call you on the Holonet for a few minutes (or hours the way we talk). Bye.
