Disclaimer; Don't own Transformers.

"Don't die on me; you got an hour left."

"I know, but I HATE geometry!"

"Then I'll help you with it."

"I don't need help."

"You're failing the damn subject!"

Rachael glared at us "Cal, stop cussing. You don't need to use words like that."

I let out a soft sigh, slightly rolling my eyes "Rachael, you know we love ya, but you have to lighten up. Please."

Drew leaned towards my desk, handing me his homework. "Here, maybe this will help you."

I beamed, leaning over for a hug "Thank you, Drew."

Matthew gave me an incredulous look "Sure, give everyone a hug but me."

I giggled "Does Matt want a hug?"

He turned away from me "Not anymore."

I began to pout, looking down at the floor, making sniffling noises.

"Great Matt, she's gonna cry. How does that make you feel now?" stated Sheree, giving me a hug.

Cal slapped Matt across the back of the head "You just had to make her cry."

Matt looked back at Cal "You made her cry earlier!"

Cal shook his head in disbelief "Nu-uh that was Drew."

Drew looked up at the two "Thanks Cal."

"No problem, kid."

I looked over at Matthew "You grr."

"You grr? That's not very nice."

I gave Matthew an irritated look "It wasn't meant to be nice you jockstrap."

Sheree giggled as Rachael poked me in the back with her pencil. "Stop calling people that, Lindi."

"Hey, hey, he's the one making me cry and all."

"That's no reason to call people names."

I looked over at Drew and Sheree and whispered "He's still a jockstrap."

"I heard that!"

I looked over at Rachael "I didn't say anything, I swear. It must have been Starscream, because I would never say such a mean thing to Matt."

"Lindi, Starscream's not real, how can he call Matthew a name if he doesn't exist?"

"You can't prove he's fake."

"He's a cartoon character!"

"Well, for all you know, he could be real, flying around Cybertron; heck he could even be flying towards Earth right this very minute."

Cal laughed "I bet that would make you happy."

"Of course it would. I would just have to find a way to shrink him down to about six feet, so he could fit in-"

Rachael gave me the death glare "Don't you even dare finish that sentence."

Drew looked up at me "So he could what?"

I smirked at Rachael "So he could fit in my bed."

"Lindi!"

I began to pout "Can't I have dreams, Rachael?"

"Yes, but yours are abnormal and disgusting!"

Drew chuckled "Or how Lindi puts it, explicit."

Sheree laced her arm with mine, walking down the hallway. "What's wrong, Water?"

I looked away from Sheree's face "Today sucks."

"Why does it suck?"

"Rodie's not here and Rachael's all like 'Transformers aren't real' and it's made me depressed."

Sheree leaned against me "Don't listen to her, she doesn't know what she's talking about."
Cal came up from behind me, poking me in the shoulder. I nearly slapped him, but I didn't, for once.

"What's wrong?" he whispered to Sheree, pointing at me.

"She's depressed."

Cal nodded, keeping his place behind the two of us.

Sheree smiled "At least school's over."

I faintly groaned "But-"

Cal and Sheree gave me a group hug, effectively pinning me in the middle.

I smiled as Sheree poked me in the stomach "There's the smile we've been looking for."

Cal grinned "I bet you Starscream's gonna come to your house tonight."

I rolled my eyes "Sure he will."

He put his hands in the air "I swear, seriously he will. If not, you get five bucks."

I laughed placing out my hand "Just give it to me now then."

"Hey, but what if Starscream comes."

"He won't come."

Sheree gave me a second hug "I'll match that bet."

As the two said good-bye and walked towards the buses I walked in the opposite direction. I looked down at the ground until I heard a truck horn. The loud noise caught my attention and I soon saw a red Peter built semi, roll down the street.

"Please be Optimus" I prayed silently, wishing the truck would stop in front of her and take her away.

"Grr."

"Go to bed!"

My sister growled from the opposite room.

"Shut up!"

I turned off my lights and shut my door, staring out the window in my bedroom.

Half of me knew Starscream would come, but the other said I was a fool to believe Transformers would ever be real.

I glanced at the clock which read 10:42 P.M.

"Come on" I whispered staring into the cloudy sky, rays of moonlight peeking between them.

"I'll never be this lucky" I thought to myself unhappily.

I jumped, hearing the ring of the phone sitting on the desk beside my bed. The buttons flashed a beautiful shade of blue, but I ignored it. I picked up the phone and answered it. "What?"

Matthew answered the line "You see that seeker yet?"

I bit my lip "Maybe."

Cal apparently was spending the night "You sure you didn't see him."

"Yea kid, no Starscream."

"Well keep watching, we'll be watching with ya."

I rolled my eyes "Thanks" I muttered sarcastically.

Matthew closed the line leaving me alone.

I sank into my covers, my eyes still on the sky.

"Why does he sound so positive Starscream's gonna fly over?"

I wonder why?

Hmmmm, I guess you'll just have to wait 'till chapter 2.
