Note: This is the boring chapter where we go back earlier in the day so we can develop characters! :D
Disclaimer: If I owned Transformers would I REALLY need to write this?

"Sooooo, how did they get away with skipping half a school day again?" Jacqui questioned glancing at the clock. Ten till noon; The girl looked back to her friend beside her.
"Doctors appointment!" Lightning replied
"…..On the same day?" she said with a slight grin knowing how difficult that would be. "Of course, does that really surprise you?" Lightning questioned amused.
"Not really!" she said as they entered the cafeteria. In their highschool you could go out for lunch, but their group preferred to wait until the end of school. Then they'd head over to someone's house, raid their fridge and go to another group members the following day.
Lightning plopped down at a table the group had pretty much claimed and threw her feet up on the chair across from her, Jacqui followed suit sitting beside the taller girl. As the people started to file into the cafeteria Lightning leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling.
"Who's house are we going to today?" She questioned and watched as a fly flew into her vision.
"MINE!" A voice shouted from behind her causing the girl to jump; and almost topple back, her hands shot out to grip the side of the table before gravity could take full effect. The shout was occupied by the slamming of paperbags on the table and two giggling girls. Jacqui snickered and grinned at her counterpart as the two troublemakers removed their feet to sit.
"What was that for!" Lightning questioned as she righted herself glaring at the two slightly.
The girls tsked "Do you know how dangerous it is to lean back in chairs?" The youngest stated mockingly grabbing a taco from the bag of food.
"That's why the teachers tell us not to lean back in them!" The other continued. Jacqui grinned at the bag of food on the table and quickly claimed herself a Taco.
"Since when do you two care about the rules?" Lightning asked grabbing her sack from burger bot. When one of the group members brought back food they stopped at two places; Burgerbot, and the Taco shop down the street.
"They don't. They just enjoy messing with us!" Jacqui responded taking a bite from her taco.
"Exactly!" The two responded grinning while biting into their food. Lightning rolled her eyes and began to eat. The table went silent for a moment as the group consumed their food. The silence however didn't last long. "Gew guwys!" Maddy stated over a mouthful of food before swallowing. "Didn't you have a meeting thing or something today?" Blitz stopped mid bite "Oh man. I FORGOT!" she said getting up "GOTTA GO!" she said grabbing her last Taco as Lightning grabbed her burger getting up as well. "See 'ya!" She waved taking off after Blitz; who had already made it have way across the room.
"…And then there were two." Maddy stated before eating the last of her taco.
"Just the two of us!" Lissa said in a sing song voice causing the youngest to snort and choke. The older of the two laughed and handed her a bottle of water.
"I saw that coming!" She said after swallowing the water. The two partners in crime laughed and talked for the rest of lunch.
~oOo~
They knew something was wrong when they arrived for last hour and saw the two sitting in their seats, On time, stuff ready, and two minutes early. The two were NEVER early; they were either completely late or just walking in as the bell rang!
"They have thought of something." Jacqui stated as they walked into the classroom seeing the trouble makers wearing identical grins. To most people the grins would seem harmless and almost innocent but the group had been together for years; by now they could find the simplest flaw in each other's façade. Lightning grinned and pointed a light brown finger at them accusingly. "They've had ALL day to plan something." She said.
"I know, It'll be interesting to find out what it is." Jacqui responded smiling slightly as they headed over to their spots across from the grinning girls.
~oOo~
Lissa glanced to the door as the familiar colors of lime and red came into her peripheral vision before nudging the taller girl next to her. "They know were up to something" She said as Maddy looked over to the door. Lightning raised a fingerless gloved hand at to the two; pointing accusingly while whispering to Blitz; who quickly responded and a small smile broke across her face. The two girls approached their table as the bell rang before sitting down and looking at the two menaces. Maddy countered with a grin; her blue eyes going wide innocently "Hey guys!" she said as Blitz pointed at the two, her Zombie bracelet drawing their (somewhat short) attention for a moment. "You two." She whispered "Are up to something!"
Lissa and Maddy looked to each other; sharing a look before returning their attention back to the girls. "Us?" They questioned feigning innocence while point their fingers to themselves.
"Yes you! Quit acting innocent and tell us what you did." Lightning said somewhat sternly but losing the effect completely as she looked around. "By the way where's our teacher?" She asked.
Maddy snickered to herself, unintentionally drawing the attention to herself; she straightened up in response closing her mouth. "She's getting the dog out of the building." Lissa said grinning.
"What dog?" Jacqui questioned raising an eyebrow.
"The nonexistent one!" She replied as Maddy grabbed the tallest members red headband pushing it over her eyes. "There you go." She said leaning back in her seat as the teacher walked in.
"…" Lightning was silent as she moved her head band back where it belonged; not really phased by the random act. "Thanks! It was nice not to see your face for a moment!" She joked as the younger one grinned.
"No problemo~!" she said as the teacher called for attention. The group looked to her as she began her lecture.
~oOo~
The rest of the hour passed by quickly and…uneventfully. '…this is odd' Jacqui thought glancing to the girls across from her. 'not one thing' She jumped slightly as the bell rang and the trouble makers across from her jumped up and practically ran out the door. She quickly followed with Lightning in tow.
"Nothing!" The tall one said to Jacqui as they rounded the corner that lead to the front doors.
"I know! We're missing something." She responded as they exited the building before stopping.
"Yes but th- …aren't there usually cars here? Parents picking up Freshmen?" Lightning asked.
"Yeahhhhhhh…." Jacqui said looking around at the empty street as confused students looked around.
"HURRY UP YOU GUYS!" The two culprits shouted from the side walk before turning and running.
"…We should have know." Jacqui stated before chasing after the two, Lightning close behind. When the two girls finally caught up they each reached out grabbing a pest.
Jacqui pulled out her phone and checked the time "TWO THIRTY!" She shouted as the two culprits giggled. "It was toooooooo easy!" Maddy said turning to the two with a grin, high-fiving with Lissa.
"We just had to get into the computer system!" Lissa said grinning. "And just change the clock times ahead by one hour!" she continued.
"Oh and, don't worry about school tomorrow; we canceled it!" Maddy said. "The wonders of modern technology!" she yelled before taking off in the direction of her house "MEET YOU THERE!" Lissa laughed and followed after her partner in crime.
"…Eh, at least we got out early" The tall one said before taking off after them. "Oh yeah!" Jacqui said grinning from beside her.
Note:….The end will probably need to be rewritten but EH XD anyways~ RnR peeps!
