Chapter 2: First Day of School, First Warning

Alexis and I nervously stood at the edge of the road, waiting for the bus to pick us up. " So, how do you think it's going to go?" Alexis asked, shifting from foot to foot.

I smiled, " It will be fine. You worry to much!"

" What if they find out where we live?"

" I got it, they think we live here with our uncle."

" We don't have an uncle."

" Alexis, it's a cover up so they don't send us away."

" Oh, I knew that!"

" Sure ya did, they think we live with Todd Murphey, the owner of the house we are currently waiting at."

" Wow, you have been planning this for some time, haven't you?"

" Why, yes yes I have! Now shush, here comes the bus!"

Alexis stepped nervously on first and sat in seat two, I followed and sat with her. The bus driver just looked at us, snorted, and drove to the next stop.

" Why, hello! What are two newcomers doing in my buddy's seat?" growled a voice behind us. I spun around to see a boy that looked my age with deep brown short, spikey hair, a long chin and pointy nose, and cruel, deep brown, almost black, eyes that seemed to flash red at times.

" Well, your 'buddy' will have to find a different seat from now on," I hissed. The boy looked at my like I was joking.

" Temper, temper, why don't you two move to seat three instead?" the boy growled.

I glanced at the bus driver, wondering why he wasn't helping us. " He won't help you, he's my uncle," the boy smirked.

I growled and faced forward, and Alexis gave me a small smile. The bus slammed into a halt, and another boy got on and stood at the edge of our seat. " Move," he commanded.

" No," Alexis and I said at the same time. The boy growled and sat in the seat across from us. I studied the boy closer, he had bushy bleach blonde hair, a pointed face, a scar over his right eye, and dark green eyes.

" Nathon Jemsy, why and what are these two doing in my spot?" the boy asked, his voice dripping with venom.

" Taylor Scraplet, I tried to warn them. But you can sit with me for the rest of the moring ride," Nathon chuckled, smirking.

Taylor Scraplet jumped into the seat behind us. " Whatever you do, don't turn around, Think about the new episode of TransFormers: Prime that's going to air tonight," I whispered to Alexis.

Alexis nodded, and we sat silently the rest of the way to school. The bus stopped in the parking lot of the Eagle View Middle School and Alexis and I stepped off and looked up in awe.

The Middle School was five stories high, and covered at least ten football fields.

" Oh."

"My."

"Gosh," Alexis and I gasped.

" You girls new here?" a girl asked us. She was tall and skiny with red hair and bright green eyes, a rounded face, bright lips, and dressed and a knee length skirt and a laced tee shirt.

" Ya, can you help us find Room 122?" I asked her.

" Sure! I just finished sixth grade last year. I'm Lisa," Lisa explained, smiling.

" I'm Halie."

" I'm Alexis."

" Are you two sisters?" Lisa asked. Alexis and I exchanged glances.

" Step.." I said uncertainly.

Lisa nodded and gestured, then we followed her to Room 122. I noticed Nathon and Taylor watching us intently, a Saleen police car and a Mazda RX-8 parked behind them. I took notice quickly and turned around and noted my find to Alexis.

" Halie, the TransFormers aren't real. I know it's sad, but it's true," Alexis whispered to me.

" I don't know Alexis. It just doesn't seem right..." I remarked.

Alexis sneaked a quick peak at the cars. " Halie, the cars are gone!"

I spun around, and it was true. The Mazda and the Saleen were no where in sight, as were Nathon and Taylor.

" Alexis, this just got creepy," I whispered.

" Maybe the Transformers are real?"

" I think that Hasbro either totally guessed they were real..."

" Or they and the government knew something we don't."

" No, Alexis, not don't anymore," I whispered, then shuddered, "Didn't."

We exchanged worried glances and entered the building, sneaking one last peak at were the two cars were, only to see a Modified Pontiac Solstice GXP stop for a second where the Saleen Mustang police car and the Mazda RX-8 were, then race towards the abandon warehouse way out on Route 76.

"Alexis, what ever we just saw, I think is only the beginning," I whispered defiantly.

" You mean there's still more to come?" Alexis gulped.

" Yes. A lot more," I whispered, staring at the blank space where we had seen the bizzare scene.

" Uh oh," Alexis whispered. I just had that feeling that our lives were about to be flipped upside down forever.
