The day had ended the sun had set on the world casting darkness across the planet but not the bad darkness, the darkness that brings a new day after it and thus bringing the light and a new hope for the following days.
Sitting on the steps of the lodgings I stared up at the stars reflecting on the day that I just finished, there' was nothing more that I could have done I did everything they could have needed of me surly, maybe I should have watched my mouth, but how was I to know he was a commander, they all look the same, oh I hope this hasn't cost me the job, I don' know what I'd do if it had. Taking a deep breath and one last long look at the stars I got up and headed inside hoping to sleep away the anxiety that was now following me.
- bit of a time skip -
It had been a day since my test and I was sitting in the food hall with the friends I had made while on training, Arrura sat to my left, Skyler to my right, Lio in front of Arrura, Theo in front of me and Randel in front of skyler. Arrura and Theo are both training as medics, Skyler, Lio and Randel are all training as pilots they can't wait to take to the skies. "I can't believe we've only two exams away from being fully qualified, it's insane" they like many other trainee pilots have been training hard for many years to get here and fight for the light. "Come on Lio we all knew that we'd get there eventually you just never believed that we could do it" Skyler stated but smiled at Lio. "Yeah I guess" she said "anyway Kay you had your test yesterday have you heard anything?"
" I haven't I'll probably get told later today, I don't think it went very well though" I sighed everyone at the table looked at me in shock "What do you mean?" Arrura grabbed my hand. I squeezed her hand and looked at everyone "they decided to put my test on a commander's X-wing which I didn't find out about until after I bad mouthed him because I thought he was a cocky shit, so he's probably had a word to my supervisor to get me kicked off the course" the only thing that comes to there minds was to ask "who was the commander?"
"Um... I think it was something like Boe Cameron" "I've never heard of a Boe Cameron" "neither have i" everyone agreed that they should have heard the name of him especially a commander. "I have no idea who it was then, we'll just have to wait and see."
I literally haven't heard anything, the suspense is killing me. Something wasn't quite right and I just couldn't work out what it was, I didn't go to dinner that night. Having done nothing all day as my training was over I just couldn't sit down and do nothing again, don't get me wrong I love spending time with my friends but I can't just do nothing all the time. So I went for a walk in the evening air to clear my head not really paying attention to where I was going or what I was doing. It was a surprisingly quiet evening although it's likely that most people are going to be in the food hall, walking past the aircraft hanger I saw a few mechanics still working on the aircraft and some pilots milling around checking there stuff.
With the sun turning the sky a beautiful orange colour I continued the walk making my way to my favouite spot on the edge of the base, the lake. It wasn't a giant lake that your likely to see on any other planets, stones surrounded the waters edge making a bank around it. It was just so peaceful and calming to stare out at the flat waters. Well it was normally anyway not today though the pressure and suspense of not knowing my future had really wound me up, so I picked up one of the stones at my feet and threw it as hard as I could into the air in hopes of relieving some stress. I did this a couple more times before letting out a deep breath and just started looking out at the water. Staring at the water, in my own world is completely zoned out, which meant I hadn't noticed the approaching footsteps behind me. I didn't notice the presence of this person until I felt a hand on my shoulder, which obviously scared the living crap out of me and I did what any self respecting person would do and elbowed the person in the gut. Turning around at the same time that a low grunt was made to see the commander bent over slightly hold where I had just hit. "Oh no, I am so sorry I didn't know that was you" I'm worried as hell every time we meet it goes horribly wrong but surprisingly he just laughed "no no" he waved his hand "all my fault, I shouldn't sneak up on a lady like that" I let out a big sigh turned around again and sat on the stones.
"That was a big old sigh from such a 'quiet" person" he spoke referring to how the supervisor had called me quiet, "I'm generally only quiet around people I don't know very well" he then sat on the stones next to me before saying "what's the exception with me then" without looking at him I plainly stated "You annoy me" and instantly regretted saying it "Oh maker sorry I should probably stop insulting you" and again he laughed, "You don't need to worry about that"
"That's not true though is it? Your a commander and I'm literally just a trainee most people would be in serious trouble for ad mouthing a superior." I got up to walk away but he followed me "why are you following me?"
"I can't let a lady work around at night on her own"
"I've done fine on my own before, and how did you even know where I was?"
"I saw you walking past the aircraft hanger, you looked upset so I followed you"
I stopped and turned around to meet him "what the hell! you shouldn't go round following people, I take back about being sorry for hitting you to be honest I wasn't sorry anyway" I didn't mean that really but he bugs me. "I'm leaving now stop following me" I turned to walk again but he still followed "seriously!"
He doesn't look phased at all about my little out burst, which is annoying, I make my way to the aircraft hanger before stopping again "okay you can seriously stop following me now or I'm going to end up hitting you again," with that I turned and walked back to my room passing a BB-8 unit who beeped happily a me as he passed.
authors note
I have no idea how this fic is going all I can say is that it's likely to be a slow romance so if you bare with hopefully it will get better.
