Authors Note: I know I have my other stories to tend too but... I had to start a new story until I get my muse back for my others. Anyways! Please enjoy!
It was a warm March day unusual for Ohio during this time of the year. I unfortunately had to do some shopping for my Aunt since her birthday was in four days. But I didn't mind since I would be outside most of the time waiting for the bus so it didn't bother me much. Little did I know today my whole world would be turned upside down. The Sun had finally came out in the early morning and I had just arrived at the local community college my grandmother worked at.
"This wouldn't be a problem if you had your own car, Jaime." I heard my grandmother say. A sigh escaped my lips as I got out of the van. My unnatural red hair gently blew in the wind as I stood straight. I was curvy as some would put it but then again I was never skinny in my life. I hated how my eyes stood out the most, unrealistic bright blue. It's always been a mystery to myself and my family on how I even got them. But my attention was more on the car I had my eyes on for awhile.
A 1978 Camaro SS that had an orange stripe in back. I loved the car so much that I got my dad talked into buying it for me in four days. Huh? Strange I'm getting a better gift than my Aunt even though it's not my birthday! I broke out of my little world as I took my grandmother's credit card and heard her say to buy a top my Aunt would like. I nodded my head as I adjusted my orange top that had the middle of the back cut away and replaced with orange lace.
"Don't worry. I'll get the perfect thing for her." I said as I smiled and left the college. I stood at the bus stop until I saw the car I wanted to buy pull into the parking lot. I quickly ran over and noticed no one was driving. I froze as I remembered hearing about Transformers from the government and how they were dangerous. But I didn't believe it since I saw two factions fight against each other in Chicago.
I was stuck waiting for my bus to take me to Ohio and then they attacked. It was hours before I saw a glimpse of a Transformer who donned blue and red among painted flames, but that was then and this was now. I placed my hand on the hood and watched the driver side door open.
My mind was screaming at me that I shouldn't do it but then again I never really did follow the rules. I got into the car and watched the door shut. I felt the panic set in as nothing happened. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice sounding timid. The engine roared to life and the car took off. I quickly held onto the sides of the seat and wondered if I should of really asked who this was. "You asked my name... It's Hot Rod. Nice to meet ya." A voice said coming through the speakers.
I sat in awe for a moment as he (sounded like a male) introduced himself to me. I smiled slightly, still nervous as I didn't know if he was a good or bad transformer. "Ja-Jaime Marshall." I said introducing myself. Oh boy, what the hell did I get myself into?
I watched as Hot Rod came to a stop after we drove out into the middle of nowhere. I felt afraid of what would happen to now since I knew a Transformer. My thoughts came to a halt when the door opened. I slowly got out and thought about running away but then again I had no idea exactly were I was. The sound of metal changing quickly turned my attention towards Hot Rod who was standing tall. I felt like an ant about to be squished by a huge boot.
"W-Why did you bring me out here?" I asked looking up at him. Hot Rod looked down at me and chuckled. Wait, why was he chuckling? I know I didn't say anything funny. "I brought you out here because I believe you can help me find my friends." He said. I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms awhile I shifted from one leg to the other. "And how do think I can do that?" I asked. "You're an autobot pretender aren't you?" Hot Rod replied.
I shook my head no as I was completely confused by this. What the heck was that and why would he think that? "Then explain why you give off an Engeron reading?" Hot Rod said. Well that's something new and I couldn't explain it at all.
