Her Guardian
Summer School
"AnnaBeth! It's time to wake up!" Her uncle called from downstairs. She slowly pryed herself up and rubbed the tiredness from her eyes. Her eyes then wandered around her room and no one and nothing was there. She let out a relieved sigh and swung her legs off of her bed.
"Just a nightmare." A smile crept up onto her face as she walked to her closet. When she opened up the doors she let out another relieved sigh, seeing that it only held her clothes. "That was the craziest dream ever. I really do need to start moving on."
"It's about time you came to your senses." She flipped around to Megatron walking through her door as if he was some kind of ghost. She screamed and threw a shoe at him, which just passes right through his body and hit the door. He looked at the lonesome shoe and smirked. "You'll have to try harder than that to get rid of me." He raised an optic ridge and she heard a soft creepy chuckle come form him.
"Go away." She said coarsely while eyeing the ground and not him.
"Afraid I can't do that, When I said I was stuck with you, I meant I was stuck with you."
"Why? I mean there has to be a reason why you're here." She was digging through her closet for something to wear, every few seconds she would throw out a shirt of pant saying 'no'. He watched her wondering why or how humans even existed on this planted. "Don't just stand there like a brick wall, I want and answer." She turned to him holding an outfit.
"That is none of your business."
"Actually, it kind of is. Your the one following me so I want to know." He clenched his denta and rolled his optics.
"If were going to be stuck together, theres going to have to be some rules... First, stop asking stupid questions. Second, I don't want to see anything else from yesterday happen ever again. Third, I am assuming control so that means I am your leader. And Fourth there will be punishment for anything that I do not approve of."
"Whatever." Her arms were not folded and her face was saying I-don't-care. "Now can you leave, I have to get dressed."
"And why do I have to leave." Her eyes became wide and angered.
"I don't know how it is for you aliens, but for humans it is disrespectful for a man to be in the same room as a woman when she is dressing, except for when they are married."
"I have seen some of your human actions and have never once thought of that."
"That is what my parents and uncle believed and that is what I believe. Now GO!" She pointed at her door and he walked out, he really didn't understand humans. One second their all happy, then their mad, then their emotional, and then their something else. He growled and walked down the stairs to where her uncle and aunt were.
"Have you seen AnnaBeth, she hasn't been down yet." Her uncle asked looking at his watch.
"Oh, she's probably trying to get over that stupid fiasco from yesterday. I understand being sad, but she should be over it by now." Her aunt answered.
"Crystella, these things take time, especially for a teen her age."
"I know..." She used her straw to mix her drink. "I was thinking some time away might help. Like a boarding school or what not."
"A boarding school? Why that?"
"Well when my sister died, I was devastated. My parents sent me to a boarding school, one in particular that pushed me through my hard time."
"And which one was that?" He asked setting down the spatula and looking into his wife's eyes.
"Miss Ashton's Boarding School for Girls, if we sign her up now, she can get in before summer is over." He took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "It also might improve her grades, and summer school won't be needed..." She looked him in the eyes and set her hand on top of his. "Scott, this is in her best interest." Megatron listened to the woman speaking, he had heard so many lies over his lifetime to know the truth from a lie, and this woman was rolling in lies. She put her other hand on his other free one and filled her eyes with sincerity.
"Alright, if it helps her move on, then we'll get her in... I'll tell her after her summer school today."
"No, no, I'll tell her... I want to, woman to woman." he nodded and flipped the now burnt pancakes. "I'll go get her." Crystella left the kitchen and walked up the stairs and Megatron followed close behind. When she got to the room she lightly knocked and then opened the door. "Are you ready." She said sweetly but poisones and she was answered with an 'Eh'.
She shut the door behind her blocking Megatron out, but he just walked through the door. "I talked to your uncle." Her voice was lower showing that she was trying to make sure no one else heard what she had to say.
"Ya so, you do that everyday." AnnaBeth shook her head and eyed her aunt who just rolled he eyes.
"And guess what!... You're going to boarding school after summer!" Her voice held excitement and AnnaBeth dropped her backpack.
"What! Where's my say in all of this!?"
"You're going." She looked to Megatron with the same surprised expression."
He did think that boarding school would be best, since he would be able to work on her better without her uncle trying to cheer her up.
"Don't tell me what to do." She spoked to him and her aunt clenched her teeth together.
"What did you say to me Bethy?"
"I wasn't talking to you!" Once she realized what she had said she bit her lip.
"Then who, were you talking to."
"No one." She let her shoulders and head fall.
"I'm really having to question your sanity Bethy... Get your stuff or your going to be late." AnnaBeth picked up her backpack and walked down to the kitchen with her aunt. Her uncle offered pancakes but she refused. A few minutes, she left for summer school and since her school was only five blocks away she walked.
She had been excited about the next week because summer school was going to be over and the rest of her summer was hers to take, but now she had to worry about boarding school. Whenever she thought of those places she had thought of pent up buildings with strict woman sergeants running the place. She just hoped she was wrong.
Ever so often she would glance behind her to see Megatron following her, with an angered, annoyed, or appalled expression on his face.
"You humans are disgusting creatures." He said looking to the gum, spit, and trash that was on the ground, no doubt put there by rebellious teens. Silence was the only thing that came from her, she only used her shoulder to push her bag up more. "What are you in summer school for?" He asked raising an optic ridge, she didn't answer. "Why are you being so quite human, when I ask a question I expect an answer."
"Can you please just Shut-Up! First you agree with my aunt about boarding school, and then you make me seem all crazy in front of her. So just Shut your pointy toothed trap and keep out of my life." He clenched his fists and growled while tempting to reach and grab her neck. "I wouldn't do that if I were you... were in public. Yeesh, you'd think you had no consonance."
"Keep that smart mouth to yourself human, because I can knock you around like a rag doll whenever I want."
"Please, I've seen rabbits scarier than you." She rolled her eyes and turned a corner to see a large building with a few kids walking in and out.
"Why must you go here?"
"It's summer school, for delinquents or kids who got bad grades in school."
"Which category are you in."
"Bad grades." She walked through the doors and down the hall only to be shoved into the lockers.
"Ooohh look, it's little miss orphan." A boy taunted while he held her against the lockers. She sneered at him. "Whatcha gonna do, cry your way out of this." She swished her mouth around and looked to him innocently, AnnaBeth then spit in his face and he stumbled back. "Ough disgusting... This is why you're a freak, because you do stupid stunts like that."
"You get what you deserve, Butch." She pulled her backpack onto her shoulders and walked into an almost empty classroom. Students talked about random things, most were about plans for after summer school.
A girl with long black hair and bright colorful highlights walked up and sat next to AnnaBeth. "Hey Holly." She said setting her elbow onto the desk and then resting her head into her hand.
"Hey Ann, what's got you beat down."
"Nothin."
"Was it Butch again."
"Nah, I handled him." They saw the boy who had pushed her against the lockers walk in, and he sneered at her. "Jerk." She mumbled.
"Then what is it, I know that look."
"My Aunt and Uncle are sending me away to Boarding school... underline Aunt."
"Harsh." Holly sat back and set her bag onto the ground, she then grabbed out a few notebooks and opened them to reveal drawings.
"Who is this girl?" Megatron asked demandingly and AnnaBeth just swatted him away. "I want an answer." She hit her hand against his metal plating and growled a 'shut up'.
"What's up with you."
"Nothing." She said innocently, "Just a stupid pest that won't go away." She swat at him again and this time her hand flew through his body almost making her fall back in her chair.
"That must be some bug."
"Trust me, you don't even know the half of it." They stayed silent for a while until Holly reached back into her bag and pulled out a paper.
"There's a beach fight going on this weekend, thought you might want to come and enjoy the show." AnnaBeth took the paper and smiled, she had heard of the beach fights before, most of them ended up with a few scrapes and bruises, but in some cases kids had to be rushed to the hospital due to worse injuries. She looked harder and saw that butch was going to be fighting there and she smirked, maybe she could see him get his butt handed to him.
"What is that?" Megatron asked peering over her shoulder. She folded up the paper and and put it into her backpack. Before he could say anything else the teacher walked in and tapped her ruler against her desk signaling that class was about to start.
When the bell rang everyone got up from their seats and left except for Holly who got called by the teacher.
"See yo later, gotta do deten."
"Detention in summer school, what did you do this time."
"When you walk out look towards her car." Holly's smile was sadistic, and AnnaBeth knew that meant only one thing. She walked out of the building and looked to their teachers car which was spray painted bright pink and and neon green, with black spray paint over the windows. She couldn't help but let a small laugh escape her thought.
"Your friend did that?"
"Yep, she's an artist."
"I don't want you hanging out with her anymore." The more bad influences he could erase the faster he could fix her and get out.
"You don't run my life I can hang out with whoever I want!"
"You hang out with who I tell you to hang out with!" He grabbed her backpack and jerked her to a stop.
"People are watching." She said so only he could hear her, he looked around and sure enough, students were starring at them. But only she could be seen so it looked like she was being pulled by something invisible. He let go and she moved forwards growling at him and giving glares to anyone who snickered at her. "I hate you so much."
"The feelings mutual.
When they got back to the house it was empty, telling AnnaBeth that her Aunt was at work modeling off her so called perfect body and her Uncle was at his job fixing up some rookies mistake. Megatron moved in front of her and folded his arms.
"Tell me what was on that paper."
"No." She jumped over the couch and walked towards the stairs but was blocked by his massive body.
"Hand it over."
"How many Freaking times do I have to tell you... You." She said poking her finger at him. "Are not the boss of me, I run my own life."
"That's it!" He grabbed her by the backpack and lifted her off the ground, she slipped out and ran towards her room but was stopped by large hands grabbing her waist and shoving her into the front closet. The door shut on her and she heard a chair being put underneath the handle locking the door. She then heard her backpack being unzipped and and a paper unwrinkling.
"This is child abuse you know, I'm gonna call the cops!" She yelled trying to move the handle.
"With what, your phone is out here. Speaking of which." She heard more unzipping and then the faint sound of her phone unlocking and metal fingers against glass.
"Get off of my phone! That is private property!"
"Not anymore." He locked the phone again and slid it under the door, she grabbed it and slid the thing across the screen only for it to ask for a password.
"Why did you put a password on my phone?"
"It's for your own good, trust me." his last two words sounded more evil than comforting.
"T-trust you! Keep dreaming Megsy."
"I said don't call me that." She kicked her foot against the door not even listening to what he was saying, at this point she just wanted out, and for him to be all one big nightmare.
After a few minutes her foot started to throb and she stopped hitting the door. She slid her body down, set her face into her knees and started to cry. She hated this nightmare, this thing had barely been with her and she already hated him. He was so controlling, trying to take over her life, what she did, who she hung out with, he was like an evil twin of her father. Her tears turned into sobs and then into a splitting headache, soon enough she found herself asleep on the floor of the front room closet.
The door slowly crept open and she opened her tired eyes to see her Uncle starring at her, blank faced. He then held out his hand and she took it.
"Why were you in the closet." He asked helping her up the stairs
"I-I don't know," She answered. "I guess I got so tired I-" Why was she even saving the brutes butt, oh right if she told her Uncle the truth he'd think she just got out of the funny farm. "I just wanted somewhere dark and quiet to lay." Scott laid her on her bed and pulled the covers over body.
"Get some rest, this is your last week of summer school." He started to walk out but she stopped him.
"Uncle?"
"Yes?"
"Do I really have to go to boarding school?"
"I think that some time away from here would be best, something that will get you more involved in other things than your parents death." He tried to smile but it came out more of a sad frown. "Just know I have your best interest at heart."
"I do know, I just." She fiddled with her thumbs and sighed. "I just don't want to leave."
"It'll be over before you know it and you'll be back here." He shut her door and walked down the hall to his bedroom. AnnaBeth looked around her room and spotted Megatron resting in her chair and the beach fight paper crumbled up in her trash can. A smirk came to her face as she thought. If he didn't want her to go, she was going to go.
New Chap! Hope you all Enjoyed this one. I hope I made Megatron seem tougher and more like himself, like I said before, I'm kinda bad a doing him.
