2 – Year 1
His golden optics gazed ahead of him half closed as he listened to the endless drone from his teacher Remedy. She was his Health ed. Teacher, and right now Magnus needed a remedy from his endless boredom.
The red mech yawned. It had been no less than 1500 years since Alpha Trion created him, along with his brother Optimus. Primary school was incredibly dull in Magnus's opinion, and he wondered how his brother (who was sitting next to him, back straight and alert) could stand to listen to the constant dribble his teacher poured out though her vocaliser. It wasn't as if Magnus got bad marks or anything; he just had a very low attention span for things he wasn't interested in. That category included Health Ed. For some reason, he couldn't stand to listen to Remedy talk constantly about how to clean their armour properly or other hygienic issues; it was so BORING!
"Psst! Magnus!"
The said mech turned. His friend Springer - a green and white mech – handed him a note. He took it when his teacher's back was turned and looked at the skilful picture drawn on it. It had Remedy clutching her throat with a caption saying, "I've been punished for non stop boredom speeches!"
Magnus stifled a laugh with his fist. Remedy looked up from writing, and the other children in the class turned in the direction of the noise.
"Is something wrong Magnus?" Remedy inquired in a strict voice.
"No miss!" Magnus said, laughter still evident in his voice.
Remedy gave him a swift look, but returned to writing on the board all the same.
Optimus stopped typing on his laptop to look at his brother questioningly. Magnus silently snickered and typed him a message, saying 'tell ya later!'
His brother looked skyward.

"Magnus!" Optimus laughed as he read the note during break that day. "You're going to get yourself kicked out if you don't watch yourself!"
"But Springer gave it to me!" Magnus whined, aware that his green friend was running up to them to say hi and join him on break. "I just laughed at it!"
Optimus merely shook his head. It was impossible to make his little brother behave. Not that he was an angel or anything, but at least he had a bit of self-control.
It was the first year of school for the two young mechs. It had only been a week in, and already his brother was bored. It was lucky that Cybertron years were small compared to some of the places he had heard of from Alpha Trion, like the planet called Earth! It had a year that went for 365 days! Way too long.
"So what's on for today?" Springer asked.
"Work, work and more work." Magnus grumbled, sitting at his favourite table with his brother and two others. "I want a break."
"Sook." The yellow mech who was sitting with them responded. "Its not even that tough and already you're complaining."
"I just hate all this paper work!" Magnus cried out, exasperated. "I mean, cant they give us anything physical to do?!"
"Nope." Said a white mech who was also with them.
Magnus glared at him and said sulkily, "You could be a little more arguementive, Jetfire."
"Strike a convo that I find interesting and then I will be." Jetfire responded in a bored tone.
"Quiet." Optimus said, as Magnus was about to argue back. The red and black mech merely huffed and shoved his elbows on the table.
So how it was for most of the short year. Nothing much happened in the year though, but Magnus found that his energetic nature was only improved by the prospect of doing combat training in year 5. He couldn't wait; but he promised Alpha Trion he would work hard even though he just wanted to get to the fifth year …

Bleah!!!!! I'm renovating a house this week, so not much writing will be done. Oh boy this is gonna be a monster … *Figures out just how long this story could get, and gasps* Man oh man this will be VERY fun I can tell you. If you have ANY ideas for any of the cannon characters, or maybe a fan character of your choice, feel free to give me any ideas. Remember, they are school kids! ANYTHING could happen … so don't be shy and leave a review or e-mail me. Keep in mind, however, that the Decepticons wont come into play until Chap. 7, and of the cannon characters, Hotshot, Sideswipe and Wheeljack are not born until much later (chaps 13 – 16)
Okay, this chap was a bit of a boring one I know, but this is also a set-the-stage type of chapter. The way I have set out the story in my head is that every chapter is a new year. Primary school (so to speak) will go for 12 years; college will go for 5 and then combat training for 7. After that … well, you'll have to wait and see …
How old are you CodeRed? My guess is 28 or 29, but if that is WAY out please forgive me ^.^; BTW, are you a guy or a gal?
So for now I leave you, but I will get chap 3 up ASAP, so hope this somewhat satisfies you for a short while.
Later!
