Chapter 4: An Unexpected Meeting
DIIINNNGG!
The final bell rang as school was finally over for the weekend. Geez, thank Primus that's over. Now I don't have to deal with that pesky Drift for the next two days. I can get the peace and quiet I deserved with the girls. That bot really, REALLY makes me so sick, its not even a joke. But I just can't stop thinking about him. What does that mean... Man, I really do not want to know, at all. But this weekend, just me, the girls, and Yorketron. Man, just wait until he tells the girls about me crying. I'm gonna have to bust A LOT just to make sure they don't figure it was just a stupid reason. Because I know Melody is just going to ask if I said something to him, and by Primus that isn't gonna go well. Stargazer, however, is just gonna say it was a lover's quarrel, but I won't go any further with her. She's already in love as it is, and believe me, the last thing I need is to break my best friend's Spark like mine was already.
Broken. Destroyed. Never able to heal.
Those simple words describe my Spark, or at least for now. Right now though, I sat in the bleachers near the track. I either waited for the girls to find me, or I would find them. Its always 50-50, but most of the time, it was usually the first option. Suddenly, my comm-link beeped very loudly, and I answered it. "Hello, this is Chromia, who's speaking?" I asked as a very familiar voice spoke up. "I'll give you a good guess femme." The voice said as my optics widened. Oh frag no, no, no! Are you fragging kidding me! It was Drift, come on! "I don't wanna talk to you right now beatnik, so might as well just hang up." I said as I heard him laugh. Was he laughing at me? Oh slag no, no one laughs at me and gets away with it! "What's so funny, huh!" I asked, flaring up quickly as he heard my tone, laughing more. "Wow, Stargazer was right, you do flare up quickly. Anyways, just wanna let you know I have a surprise for you later, so I wanted to tell you in advance." He told me, leaving me to become puzzled very quickly. "Surprise, what surprise-" Before I could finish asking, he hung up on me as I sighed.
Time Skip to Melody, Chromia and Stargazer being together.
"So Drift called you earlier huh?" Melody asked as I nodded. She seemed very surprised, but I didn't hear Stargazer at least once today. She was more.. Quiet then usual. Almost as if she was happy about something and didn't want to tell. I wasn't going to butt into her personal life, probably betcha something good happened to her. I mean, why wouldn't it, her uncle was Ultra Magnus and her parents were politicians for Iacon. She basically had the life me and Melody sort of had ourselves. "But why you Chromia?" She asked as I shrugged. "He told me that he had a surprise for me later.. And I have a bad feeling its not a good surprise either." I said to her as she nodded in agreement. Looking back at his history, its a surprise the Elite Guard let him become an Autobot... But at what cost though. Soon enough, I would figure that all out. "Or maybe its a good surprise.. Ya never know." Stargazer said, finally speaking up as I looked at her, slowly nodding. Stargazer did have a point though, maybe I was looking at this all the wrong way. Maybe Drift wasn't as bad as I thought he was.
So yeah, we finally arrived at Yorketron's when I heard a slight buzzing noise in my helm, rubbing it a bit before Melody hugged her uncle tightly as she was glad to see him again. Man.. Seeing this made me wish my parents loved me more. I then felt a hand go onto my shoulder. "Miss me love?" The voice asked as my optics once again widened in shock. Holy. Primus. Please don't let it be who I think it is. I slowly turned around before I groaned lightly. He's here? Now? You gotta be kidding me! "You like the surprise? I thought you would." Drift said as my cheeks began to burn with a hotness of bright red anger. Oh, that's it, he's so dead! Before I could say anything, Melody spoke up. "Drift, are you ready to spar soon? I wanna see if your combat has improved yet." She said as Drift nodded. My optics widened for a third time. "Three times the charm Melody! THREE. TIMES. THE CHARM!" I randomly said, almost as if I had lost my mind before going out to the Garden to get some fresh air.
Man.. That's it, I'll just have to admit it: I'm in love with Drift... No way, that'll be just like giving up, and I am not one to give in so easily. So what was the deal here... Oh man, I think I know what's up. Drift is Yorketron's student. That would have been great to know during Gym! Geez.. I hate it when I find out things for myself. Why does everyone always keep secrets from me? Its like no one trusts me at all. Still.. If he likes me, and I like him...
Would that make us a couple.. I pray to Primus it doesn't.
Author's Note: So yeah, decided to leave a Cliffhanger. DUH-DUH-DUH! Also, in the next Chapter, it is finally revealed who the mastermind is around Operation: Lovebots: The one and only Stargazer! I'll also be in including her POV in the next chapter as well. Until then, bye-bye folks!
