Chapter 2: First Day
Riley woke up first, he panicked when he saw the uniform he was wearing and the Imperial symbol. He jumped up looking around, he calmed when he saw all his friends asleep. Riley checked the clock by his bed for the time, it was 6:15 so he sat in the Common room. He was thinking about what school would be like, he was home schooled so he learned things quickly. He was snapped out of his thoughts 30 minutes later when Sabine walked in.
"What are you doing up?" Sabine asked as she sat down next to him.
"I panicked when I woke, you?" Riley smiled lightly.
"Cafeteria opens soon, want to get a good table for the year" Anne explained as she walked through. "Will you be alright today?"
"As long as you guys will be with me" Riley hugged Anne when she sat down.
"Why? Have you never been to school before?" Moon joked as she walked into the room.
"Actually no, I was home schooled" Riley looked at Sabine. "Our father thought it would be a good idea for me to do something great"
"Huh, you'll be fine" Moon placed a hand on Riley's back as she walked to the bathroom. "We'll do this together"
"Thanks" Riley looked at Ezra as he walked through the door. "Are you ready?"
"I'm not sure, it's been awhile" Ezra threw himself on the sofa.
"I'm ready, it'll be fun" Snow said almost skipping into the room.
"Why are you so happy?" Sabine laughed a little.
"I've never been around an Imperial building without being a prisoner before" Snow said as she sat down next to Anne.
"Come on, we should be getting to the cafeteria" Sabine said excitedly.
"Am I the only one not happy about this?" Riley looked around.
"You and me both" Ezra said sitting back.
"Let's go" Anne said jumping up.
"We have to wait for Moon" Riley protested.
"She can catch up" Snow walked towards the door.
"She told me we'll do it together" Riley sat back in the chair.
"Are you still scared?" Snow laughed.
"There's that too" Riley felt embarrassed.
"Don't pick on him" Moon said walking through the door. "Besides, it is an officer academy"
"Now can we go" Sabine asked etching towards the door.
"Sure, let's go" Riley said getting up.
They all walked into the Cafeteria, it was large and almost empty. Everyone got their breakfast and sat at the table on the far side.
"So, is Star and Stripe dating?" Moon asked as everyone sat down.
"Yup, happily" Snow said as she started to eat some fruit.
"Not surprised" Moon forgot that the two were even there. "So how did it happen?"
"Star got shot, Stripe saved her life" Sabine put bluntly.
"Really?" Moon was shocked. "How did she get shot?"
"We are still here, didn't leave" Riley seemed annoyed.
"Sorry, so how did it happen?" Moon now asking Riley.
"I don't feel comfortable saying yet, would you tell me your whole past?" Riley asked while taking a drink.
"Sorry" Moon looked at Anne as she stood up.
"I'm going to get coffee" Anne started to walk away. "I forgot with all the excitement"
Anne walked over to the coffee machine, but was stopped by a large boy.
"Hello, who might you be?" the large man asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Star, you?" Anne didn't really want to talk to him.
"I'm Carter" the large man grabbed Anne's arm.
"I'm not interested in you" Anne tried to walk away but Carter just pulled her in.
"I don't think you have a choice" Carter laughed.
"I already have a boyfriend" Anne tried to break free.
"Really? Who?" Carter looked at his 6 friends.
"Stripe, I suggest you let go before he beats you up" Anne scowled.
"What kind of name is Stripe?" Carter started laughing again.
"What kind of name is Carter?" a voice said behind him.
Carter turned around to see a brown haired man with a scar on his lip.
"You stripe?" Carter smirked.
"Yeah, let go of her" Riley crossed his arms.
"She's mine now" Carter tried to kiss Anne but with met with a punch across the face.
"I'm not giving you a choice" Riley stood back giving Carter a second to think.
"Winner gets her" Carter threw a punch at Riley, it was caught and pushed up behind his back.
"I'll give you a second chance" Riley said kicking behind Carters knee making him fall over.
"Get him" Carter ordered 2 people.
"Really? Getting people to fight your battles, I don't think Star is impressed" Riley said as he started blocking attacks.
"No, I'm not" Star said as she watched Riley fight.
Riley blocked an attack from one of the boys and knocked him over, he then picked up the boy on the floor and threw him at the second boy, effectively knocking both of the out.
"Come on Star, let's get you your coffee" Riley said pushing Carter out the way.
"Thanks for the nice time" Anne joked as she walked off with Riley.
Carter's face turned red as he walked up behind Riley and punched him square in the back of the head.
"Hey!" Star turned and punched Carter in the side of the head, knocking him out. "Are you ok?"
"Not really, got a black dot in the centre" Riley tried to sand but fell over again.
"Let's get you to the infirmary" Anne helped Riley stand. "Can you see?"
"Hardly" Riley put a hand on the back of his head. "He must have punched me where I was shot"
"Um, Riley?" Anne saw blood trailing down the back of Riley's head. "You're bleeding, let's get there fast"
Anne helped Riley to the Infirmary, he stumbled most of the way. Riley felt dizzy most of the way but tried to stay on his feet, Anne started to get worried. When thy reached the Infirmary, Anne rushed Riley over to the nearest bed.
"Hi can I help you?" a small women asked.
"Stripe her was punched in the back of the head and is bleeding" Anne kept looking at Riley to make sure he was ok.
"Any other symptoms?" the nurse asked.
"He can hardly see and walk, I think he feels dizzy" Anne walked over to Riley.
"Hello, Stripe?" the nurse asked.
"Yeah" Riley took a piece of cloth that Anne gave him at held it tightly to the back of his head.
"I'm nurse Flower, how do you feel?" the nurse shown a light into Riley's eyes.
"I believe it's just shock, the bleeding could be cause the light headedness" Riley placed his free hand on Anne's shoulder. "Thanks for the help"
"No thank you" Anne kissed Riley. "You helped me back there"
"But you helped me get here and stopped that guy from causing further harm" Riley smiled as he hugged Anne.
"Stripe, that was a very accurate analysis" Flower looked at Riley with surprise. "Where did you understand this stuff?"
"I taught myself, it wasn't too hard" Riley looked at where he thought Flower was. "Now can I get some stitchings?"
"Yes, sorry" Flower ran to the other side of the room and returned with a small box.
After a couple minutes of stitching and 10 minutes of resting, Riley was able to go to class with Anne. On the way to their History lesson, Anne held Riley's hand worrying about him. When they arrived, they handed the teacher a note and sat down. Riley didn't do much but stroke the back of his head, Anne was telling everyone about what happened and tried to comfort Riley. When it reached lunch, everyone sat down and as usual Riley didn't talk.
"Stripe just talk to us" Anne rested her head on Riley shoulder. "How do you feel?"
"Fine, sorry about earlier" Riley looked into Anne's purple eyes. "I was just thinking"
"About what?" Moon regret asking that question.
"Everything" Riley looked around. "I don't think I'll like it here"
"I know, but we do this together" Sabine hugged Riley. "How about when we have Free time, we go walk around the mall"
"You need to take your mind off it" Ezra handed Riley a piece of fruit.
"I just need to get use to this place" Riley took a bite from the fruit. "I've never been taught like that"
"I understand, give it a few days" Moon realised Riley had a scar, but said nothing about it.
"I'm sorry" Riley looked at Anne. "I'm sorry I made you carry me most of the way around the school and worry like that, I'm sorry when I ignored you for most of the day"
"It's fine, I know you're having some problems" Anne kissed Riley. "Just promise me tomorrow will be better"
"I'll try" Riley smiled when Anne laughed.
"Stripe" a deep voice said behind him.
Riley turned to see Carter with a bandage around his head.
"I'm sorry about earlier" Carter afford a hand. "It's fun being at the top of the school for so long, you always get most things you want"
"It's fine, but if you ever try that on Star again" Riley shook the hand.
"I understand, maybe we can try to get along" Carter looked at Anne. "I'm sorry about earlier, I was out of line"
"Just don't try it again" Anne smiled.
"See you around" Carter walked off.
"You literally knocked some sense into him" Snow joked.
"Come on, we best get to lesson" Sabine said as she stood up.
"Can't wait" Ezra said sarcastically.
Everyone walked to lesson, when they arrived they all made Riley promise he would talk to them. He talked to them about anything that wasn't personal, Anne also sat by him to keep him calm through the whole lesson. After lesson they all went to the mall. The girls looked around most cloth shops while Riley and Ezra only picked out more appealing clothes from the first. After they picked new clothes, Riley took them all to a restaurant called Blazing Sith. They all ate fine besides Snow who almost lost it because of how hot her meal was. When they all reached the apartment, Riley went to the bathroom with Anne to check the wound. Ezra, Sabine and Snow went to sleep while Moon waited for Riley to come back out, when he did she pounced on him.
"I hope you're ok" Moon hugged Riley in front of Anne.
"Excuse me" Moon looked at Anne.
"I only wanted to make sure he's ok" Moon let go of Riley.
"So you hug him?" Anne almost bursted until Moon spoke.
"But didn't Snow kiss him?" Moon saw Anne relax immensely.
"Fair enough" Anne kissed Riley. "Come on, let's go to bed"
"But first" Riley looked at Moon. "Why were you worried?"
"Because when I arrived here, you were the first person to talk to me and make me feel comfortable. This morning you waited because you cared about who was around you. You had a fight, knocked down, and apologised all for Anne. You took us out for dinner tonight, I feel like you needed someone else to care for you" Moon walked into the bedroom. "Night"
"Now you see why you're my first" Riley laughed as he and Anne walked into the bedroom.
"What do you mean?" asked as she got changed.
"I'm too appreciated, but you were the first to care" Riley smiled as he got in his PJ's.
"Well, it hard not to care" Anne said as she got into Riley's bed. "And I'm not the only one"
Riley got into bed and tried to sleep, he liked it when Anne was with him because it reminded him that he wasn't alone. Riley fell asleep, but Anne stayed up thinking about why Riley didn't like being appreciated much. Eventually, she fell asleep too.
