Chapter six
"Orion lets go you're going to be late!" Quintus called. Orion groaned and turned over in his bed and put his plump plush pillow over his helm. I was about six in the morning earth time. The suns were just beginning to rise over the tall buildings. Orion laid on his knees with his aft high in the air.
He was just beginning to fall asleep with SMACK! He shot up and rubbed the place where his aft ached
"Dad! What was that for, geez." He sat on his bed facing his dad who was sitting in a chair across from him. Quintus let out a long drag.
"You weren't down stairs in time and you're going to be late if you don't get that lazy afts of your outta bed." Orion scowled and walked down stairs. Magnus was already eating and half way done as well.
Orion grumbled and ate his food slowly looking at Magnus without realizing it. Magnus scrunched up his face.
"What are you looking at?"
Orion leaned off of his servo and scowled "Nothing Mags what are you looking at." Magnus stood up and slammed his bowl into the sink and stuck his tongue out at Orion and left. Orio rolled his eyes and continued to eat. Today looked like the two brothers were going to be moody.
Aqua walked in and placed a hand on her hip "better change that attitude of yours." She said cleaning up the remains from Magnus.
Orion didn't bother to defend himself. He was too tired and grumpy to argue with his mom. He finished eating and ran back to his room to get his stuff. He walked back out and was hit in the face with a ball. All of his tuff fell out of his servos. He looked and saw Magnus smirking. Orion made a beeline for Magnus.
The smirk on Magnus face fell as he saw how mad his brother was. He began running down the hall with Orion got on his pedes. He turned to corner and they were in the parlor of their floor. Magnus had to think quick or he might end up with a black optic. He saw the stairs and ran. The stairs had been freshly polished which made them extra slippery. But Magnus was a pro at this kind of stuff. Orion on the other hand was not.
Orion was at the stairs and he ran but slipped and fell the rest of the way. He whined in pain and rubbed his helm. Magnus turned around and burst out laughing. It was probably the funniest thing Magnus had seen. Orion looked at Magnus and growled. He got up and started his pursuit once again.
Upstairs Quintus came into the kitchen and saw that his sons had finished eating but were know where to be found. Aqua sat on the couch reading a data pad.
"Hey babe where are the boys?" he asked peeking into the living room. She barely glanced up.
"They're downstairs chasing each other." She said plainly. She was used to this kind of stuff she was the one who took care of them all day when the academy was closed for the weekends. Quintus hung his head and walked down the same stairs the boys ran down.
Orion was so close to catching Magnus he could almost grab him. Not paying attention they ran smack into Alpha Trion. There uncle.
He gave them a scowl "aren't you two supposed to be at school?" he asked raising an optic ridge. Orion fiddle with his thumbs while Magnus looked away trying to look innocent
"Uh huh that's what I thought." He placed servos on their shoulders and led them towards the stairs to their floor. Quintus was just coming down and he crossed his arms and frowned at his sons.
"Alright you two lets go hover car is waiting." The boys grunted and slouched as they walked toward the bottom floor. Quintus handed Orion his stuff. Orion gave a sarcastic smile and tried to walk ahead of Magnus. Magnus saw what his brother was doing so he ran ahead and jumped in the car locking all the doors.
"Magnus that's not funny open the doors." Orion pounded on the glass. Orion could barely hear what Magnus said. The glass muffled his voice.
The driver of the car smiled and unlocked the doors for the two
"And you can't do anything about- ohhh." He frowned seeing that the doors were opened and unlocked. He moved out of the way so Orion could get in. Orion huffed and sat on the opposite end of Magnus. The whole ride they just stared at each other with nasty scowls.
"Here's your stop boys." The driver said pressing the button that opened the doors from the back. Orion and Magnus stepped out and walked to the entrance to the academy. Orion went down one way while Magnus went another. He finally made it to class he sat in his seat. Third row from the front. The seat next to him was empty. Well it was always empty the teacher never assigned anyone to sit by him.
He opened the desk and put his Data pads and other various things inside. Class began with a lecture on Cybertron's history and the Primus. Which was his Grandfather. The door opened and little blue femme walked in. She handed the teacher a note. He smiled and paused his lecture.
"Class we have a new student." He stepped aside and the femme smiled shyly to the class.
The teacher picked up the roster and looked at a place she could sit.
"Ah you can sit next to Orion, Orion raise your hand please." Orion clearly wasn't paying attention. The teacher cleared his throat and Orion perked up
"Here!" he sputtered. The class giggled. The blue femme walked and sat down in the desk next to Orion. She smiled.
"Hi my name is Arcee." She said quietly. Orion turned and smiled "I think you already know my name." he chuckled.
"Orion isn't it?" she asked.
"Yes Orion Pax." He smiled and turned back to face the front. The teacher started his lecture once again. The history of Cybertron was always Orion's favorite topic. Arcee pulled out a data pad and began to take notes. Orion looked at her in confusion.
"You don't have to take notes you know." He said. She looked at him and smiled.
"You might miss something if you don't record it," she continued to write down important things that the teacher said or wrote on the board.
The bell rang and it was time for lunch. Orion decided to wait on Arcee. He figured she just transferred here and didn't have any friends. She finally came and ran into him at the door.
"Oh Orion I didn't see you there."
"I was just wondering if you wanted to sit with me and my friends at lunch today." She blushed and nodded yes. They walked down to the lunch room side by side. They didn't talk they walked down silently. They arrived at the lunch room and Orion walk over to a table and three mech were already sitting there.
"Aye Orion you're here finally." A white mech with a yellow visor said. The other one smiled while chewing. The red and black mech waved to Arcee. The mech with the blue visor shrugged.
The red and black mech finished chewing and finally spoke up "so who's this Orion?"
"Her name is Arcee she transferred her." Orion said sitting down. Arcee sat down by him as well not speaking.
"I'm Ironhide and this is Prowl." He said pointing to the mech with the yellow visor. Prowl smiled. This grumpy lump is Jazz. The black and white mech didn't pay any attention Arcee or anyone else.
"Hello it's nice to meet yall." It was quiet for a while until a bright orange and red femme sat down. She knocked into Jazz which gave her an awful scowl. She chomped down on her food and grumbled.
"Um hello Firestar." Orion said.
"hi." She managed through all her food she was stuffing in her mouth.
"Care to tell us what's wrong?" prowl scoffed. She glared.
"Well my teacher decided to fail me on the big test today." She said. She ponded her fist on the table making some of the food fly up. Ironhide grabbed his plate so Firestar wouldn't smash it. Boy was she known for her temper. Arcee sat there awkwardly.
Firestar looked at Arcee and her face flushed. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Arcee shrugged.
"It's fine."
Lunch went by quickly and everyone was now back to class. By the end of the Orion and Arcee were tired. The two walked outside and waited on their rides to come. Arcee's ride was here by the time they walked outside.
"I'll see you tomorrow right?" she asked smiling.
Orion chuckled. "Of course, have a nice night Arcee." she smiled and stepped in the hover car. Orion sat down and read a data pad. Magnus came and sat by his brother. Orion looked at his brother a scooted away and turned his back.
Magnus sighed "Orion I'm sorry about this morning I didn't mean to-."
"It's every morning Magnus it gets really old so could you just from now on not hit me in the face with a ball." Orion turned back around. Magnus took a big sigh
"Finnnnnne, but your mornings won't be entertaining anymore." He smirked. Orion grunted and rolled his optics. The hover car finally arrived. The two boys climbed in the car and saw their mother sitting on the bench with her arms crossed. Orion and Magnus both groaned and sat on the bench across from Aqua.
"Apparently I can't trust you two to be alone anymore so from now one of us either I or your father will be riding to school in the morning and on the way home."
Magnus rolled his eyes and sloughed in his seat, the whole ride home the three were quiet and had nothing was said.
Orion went straight up to his room and pulled out an extra data pad. He immediately thought of the new friend. Arcee. That's all he could think of her sweet silver face. He smiled as he thought more and more of her.
He began to draw her lavender blue optics that could light an entire room. He continue onto her face and drew her small slender body. He smiled as he drew the beautiful Arcee. Once he was finished he looked at it with pride.
"Who could have though I could draw?" He chuckled. Orion stared at the drawing and blushed looking at her.
He got off his arm and realized something
"Do I like-like Arcee?" he asked himself. He stood up and paced his room he laughed and started blushing furiously.
"I like Arcee, a femme I just met and I like her." He picks the picture and looks at it closer.
"She looks so familiar like I've seen-." His memory flashed back to the day he sat on the ledge with Megatronus. The blue femme he meet that day. The one he and his mother escorted home. The one who moved here.
"IT'S HER!" He shouted. Magnus banged on the wall.
"Orion shut up please!" Orion ignored his brother
"It's her."
