Chapter 1: Love Bites

People say that love can last forever.. He promised me forever...

He never kept his promise.

For those of you who want to know who I am, my name's Chromia. I live in Iacon City on the Planet Cybertron. I am a young tombot with a somewhat bright personality. But right now, I'm not feeling so bright. My boyfriend, Turbo, just died not so long ago in the Great War. He volunteered to fight so we can reach peace easier aganist the Decepticons. Boy, was he WRONG. But, I'll get into further details later. Right now, I'm with my other femme friends, Stargazer and Melody over at Melody's house. These two are helping me feel better, but why bother? I'm one of those bots that take a long while to heal. Me, I'll like a dead body that has scars that will never heal. Its like my Spark just got stabbed by a blade, or shot by a Plasma Gun. Why Primus? Why take the innocent life of this bot? I mean, yeah, some Decepticons are dead, but Autobots died too, mainly my boyfriend! Are you happy now Primus! WELL, ARE YOU!

Man, my processor is hurting from so much of this thinking. I'm trying to focus on this stupid homework thast's due tomorrow. Stupid math homework. "Cybertron to Chromia, wake up!" Stargazer said, waking me from my somewhat long trance as I looked at her, sighing. Man, she really just likes doing that, doesn't she? She really hates ruining my thoughts, doesn't she? Primus, why me? Why? "Did you find the answer to number 5 or not?" She asked me as I looked at it again. Yeah, I did actually, and I got it right as I nodded, showing her the answer. For once, her optics widened in shock. She couldn't believe I got it right, but I did. "Holy Mother of Primus! You actually got it right Chromia!" She told me as I sighed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here she goes, babling about how for once I actually paid attention and crap. Whatever, I didn't care. If Mr. Slider wanted this done fully, he can kiss me aft, cause that ain't happening. "Wow Chromia, I'm surprised you got that right." My other friend, Melody said as I sighed. At least she understood me besides Stargazer.

Melody was born blind, so we needed to help her with her homework most of the time, so we didn't object. She was very nice to us. We only met when we were only Protoforms. She could be quiet at times, but I didn't mind it. She was a great friend, always there to help me with my problems. Sometimes, I wish I could be like that femme. Too bad we were all born differently under Primus's eyes. Why did he create me exactly? What purpose did I serve here? All these questions that I ask usually get no answer at all. Man, my life sucks. But, lately, word's been going around that a new bot is joining our school, and only one person can get the goods on this person: Stargazer. She can get information on anybody, even anything on the Elite Guard. Did I mention Ultra Magnus is her uncle? Well, you know now. "So Star, anything on the new person?" I asked, anxious as she nodded, ready to tell the both of us what we needed to know. This is why I love Stargazer. She was the best techno geek and hacker I have ever met in my lifetime.

"Alright, here's the information. Seems like its a bot, named Drift. Is a troublemaker, has a chilling personality. Hey, just like Chromia." She said, my cheekplates steaming as I growled at her, like a vicious animal. She gulped, then kept talking. "Um.. Let's see... Whoa, holy Primus, what's this!" She suddenly freaked out, her optics widened with surprise as the both of us watched her. "What is it Stargazer?" Melody asked as Stargazer spoke up, but spoke slowly. "H-He's.. An ex-Decepticon..." She said before we both had looks of shock and surprise on our faces. An Ex-Decepticon?! Holy frag, could this day get any better or what?! Speaking sarcastically, of course. So, this guy got caught by Elite Guard forces, got a deal, and became an Autobot? Wow, so LAME! I can't believe it, so its a bot, who's almost like me, except its a male. Well, meeting this guy would be so much fun. Maybe I could run into him at one of my classes, lunch, or maybe free period when I skip Perceptor's science class. Oh yeah, you so heard me. Its not like I hated the guy, but he's so boring! The only action we ever get it when we do any experiments, ever!

"An Ex-Deceticon, huh..." Was the only thing I could say before I checked the time. 10:30 PM... Oh slag, I'm late, AGAIN! My cerfew for bed was thirty minutes before 10. Man, my parents are going to kill me! I picked up my things, ready to leave. "Hey guys, listen, I gotta go! I'm late getting home. I'll see ya at school tomorrow!" I say to them as they nodded before I hurried out through the window, landing on my pedes. I was racing to get back to my house, praying that my parents were in stasis mode asleep already so I could rest easily. Or, there was always plan B. I remember Melody mentioning the old hideout, but if I go there, I would have to be extremely careful. He grandfather, Yorketron, who just happens to be a master of fighting, goes around there once in a while to see if there is any intruders. So, yeah, maybe the hideout tonight. He knows me very well by now, so he couldn't care much. Besides, we had extra beds, some leftover energon that we had stashed as kids, and some video games I left there when I was small.

Besides, I had plenty of time to think about this Drift guy. I have a bad feeling he could spell bad news...
