:{ time skip 5 years(Autobots on earth already)}:
I finally was able to inform into a school in Jasper, Nevada. I wanted to seem normal even though I was far from it. I was wearing black jeans with a black hoodie and a black helmet.
I was riding top speed into the parking lot. I suddenly sharply turned and hit the brakes making me stop on one wheel of Night Flight(in motorcycle form) turning 360 degrees around in the air before landing on the other wheel.
The whole school fell silent and watched as I got of Night Flight and took off my helmet. I knew I was now the center of attention especially with my silver hair and how my body looked. I always attracted unneeded attention and I could tell that this school was full of perverts. I ignored everyone as I walked past. I put on my hoodie to hide my long silver hair and put on sunglasses to hide my black eyes.
Even with my hair and eyes hidden I still attracted attention. Too much attention for me to be comfortable. Using my long range hearing I zoomed in on conversations.
"OMG, who is she?"
" Why is she here?"
"She's cool."
"I like her"
All of these comments were directed towards me, along with hatred, pervertedness, and other feelings.
I walked to the office to get my schedule. "Good morning, sir," I said to the headmaster of the school. "Ah you must be Dawn Rising, nice name by the way, here to pick up your schedule I presume" "Indeed, sir" "Alright then, here you go" I thanked the headmaster and exited his office.
As I was collecting my things from my locker I saw a kid with red glasses and spiky hair get shoved around by a group of older kids. They took his backpack and glasses and started pushing him around. I could not stand bullying and quickly stood up for him. "Hey boys," I said and they turned to me"Stop shoving the poor kid around," I said in my commando tone. "And why should we?" asked a kid with red hair, obviously the leader "because you do not want to be there when I am mad. Especially if I am mad at you," I said as I took off my sunglasses to reveal my black eyes.
If looks could kill then all those bullies would be lying on the floor a bloody mess by now because of a glare that I sent their way. The leader decided to attack me and tried to punch me. I caught the punch easily and quickly twisted his hand behind his back. "Call of your little squad and I might consider letting you. . . off the hook," I said. The rest of the crew gave the glasses and backpack to me, not wanting to test my levels of restraints.
I returned the glasses and bag to its owner. "What's your name?" I ask."Rafael, but my friends call me Raf," he answered. I smiled"My name is Dawn, Dawn Rising. Its a pleasure to meet you, Raf." "S-same here," he said. "What do you have first thing?" I ask. "English," he says."Me too, mind showing me the way?" I ask "Sure thing," he says, walking in the direction of what I presumed to be the English classroom.
We walk in and the entire class goes silent. Raf goes to sit in a particular spot while I just stand there, scanning the entire room. My eyes meet the teachers and I smile. "Hello, my name is Dawn. I'm a new student." I say. "Of course, give me a minute," says the teacher picking up a paper from her desk and scanning through it. "Ah yes, Dawn Rising. A pleasure to meet you, my name is Ms. Hills" she says. "The pleasure is all mine ma'am," I say, walking over and shaking her hand. She smiles and tells me to sit wherever I want. A couple boys volunteer for me to sit with them but I politely ignore them and sit in the very front of the class.
After English, I had math and was forced to sit to the bully from earlier. He kept glaring at me but I ignored him. After math, I had science. I was introduced to the class just like I was introduced in English and math earlier that day. The teacher told me to sit wherever I want and I ended up sitting next to a raven-haired kid. Finally, it was lunch.
I went to my locker to put away my things from science and was met with a friendly smile that belonged to none other than Raf. "Hey, you want to sit with me and my friends during lunch?" "Well considering I don't have any other places to sit, sure why not," I answered. "Great! Follow me," he said
We went to the cafeteria and got our lunches. Well, Raf got his lunch. Since I did not need to eat human food I just got my swell water bottle, that contained energon instead of water and began to drink it. "Aren't you going to get something to eat?" he asks. "Nah, I'm not hungry." I answered.
I followed Raf to a table with two kids at it. A girl with two ponytails pink on the edges and the raven-haired kid that I sat next to in science.
While we were walking towards the table we became the center of attention. Well, I became the center of attention. Everyone was closely watching me and where I was going. I sat down next to Raf at the table with two other students.
"Hey guys, this is Dawn. She is the new girl, saved me from Vince and his squad." He said to the two teens at the table. "Weren't you the one who did that awesome trick on the cool motorcycle?" Asked the girl with pink headlights. "Yes, that was me, what's your name?" I said "The name is Miko and this is Jack, so... do you like the school so far? What school did you go to before? Are you from Jasper, Nevada? Where did you come from? How did you learn to ride a motorcycle so well? Can you teach me? Jack has a motorcycle, can you teach him? Why did you help Raf? Do you li-" I held up my hand to interrupt her" Yes, I was homeschooled, no, far away, had lots of practice, probably not, and I don't think so. As for why I helped Raf if there are two things in this world that I hate most of all are bullies, and friends that turn on you and become quite deceptive." I answered all of her questions.
She looked at me with shiny eyes. "Thanks for answering, most people would just run away screaming by the time I get to question #5. Wait, what do you mean by friends that turn on you and become quite deceptive?" "I mean that in the past I had a couple friends who, quite literally, stabbed me in the back when my back is turned. One of my close ones, who is now the leader of the squad."
The three children looked at each other and then Jack asks. "What did they call themselves? I mean, did they have a name?" "Well, they called themselves-" I was interrupted when the bell rang indicating lunch has ended. That's what I call perfect timing." Well sorry to cut this short but I gotta go to my next class. See ya." I told them and hurried to my next class.
During my next class, which was social studies, I wondered why Jack, Miko, and Raf were tense during our conversation. It was like they knew that I knew something important that was meant to keep a secret. Something big. Quite possibly something about the Autobots. I would have to ask them about that later I guess.
The next classes went by quickly and before I knew it, the bell had rung indicating school was over for today. I quickly collected my things and left. I headed straight to my locker ignoring anyone and everyone who I came across. I took all of my things out of my locker and headed to the exit.
Once I was out of the school I saw that Night Flight disappeared from the parking lot. 'Guess she went out for a fly, it does get boring to just stand in one spot for the whole day. I'll wait for her under that tree over there.' I thought.
I walked over to the tree and sat under it. I took out my sketchbook and started to finish sketching my picture of a sunset overlooking mountains with a forest. I used my teleportation abilities to go there many times. It was like a little place of heaven. As I was completing it a shadow loomed over me. I looked up and saw the bully from earlier, Vince, and his buddies standing there.
I sighed and closed my sketchbook. "Look, guys, I'm not in the mood for a fight so if you can just leave me alone that would be great," I said. "No way we're doin' that. We want a second round. this time with a fight" said Vince. "Dude seriously not in the mood. But please do come back when I am frustrated at a random person on the street who wants to date me." "Well, you're not in the mood to fight back your always welcome to just take the beating," said Vince. " Yeah. Thanks, but no thanks" I said as I stood up and got into a fighting stance.
The others got ready for a fight when a strong baritone voice said: " Leave her be." I froze. No. It couldn't be. But it was. I turned and saw the man who said those three words. He was about 16-18 years old and when I saw him I could not believe my eyes. There was a man with short blue hair with a small streak of white in the front. He was wearing an army suit with a dozen different badges on it. He had light turquoise eyes that were hiding too much pain for one person, or bot, to carry along with a glare that could make the fiercest human alive cower in fear. I was about one head smaller than him and I was considered tall for my age.
"Now why don't you leave her alone before I have to take on extreme measures, which include making you leave her alone," he said. All of the bullies cowered in fear of the newcomer. "You heard him," I said. "leave,"
His face remained emotionless but I knew that he was hiding his surprise quite well. 'My voice' I realized 'he must have recognized it.' Vince and his bullies left quickly knowing it is better to leave now and not face a soldier.
He came closer to me and stopped when he was right in front of me. He inspected me with his eyes carefully until he looked at my face. Something must have clicked in that big processor of his because his eyes widened and he took a step back. "Dawn?" he said. I looked at him. "Yes, but that used to be my name, it's not anymore. Sorry to disappoint, but its Nightglide now." I said.
He looked at me into the eyes . . . and smiled. And I smiled back. It has been so long since I last seen him smile or seen him at all. He took a step towards me and hugged me. And I hugged back. We remained in that position until we saw three particular children coming out of the school. We pulled away from each other and slightly blushed.
I quickly sat back down near the tree and took my sketchbook out, turning to the page with the sunset while Optimus sat down right next to me and watched me as I added a few lines here and there to make the sunset and mountains look more realistic. The three kids saw us and made their way over. "Hey lovebirds break it up," said Miko while smirking. Miko being Miko saw and assumed. "Miko, they probably don't even know each other. You can't just believe everything you see," said Jack. "So, what were you two doing?" asked Raf. "Well, Optimus here was looking at my drawing and telling me how to try to make it more realistic or just better, because he knows how to draw, before we were so very rudely interrupted. He is quite a gentleman." I said.
The three kids looked at Optimus and then back at me. Then at Optimus and back at me. Optimus, me Optimus, me Optimus, me. "So you know Optimus?" asked Jack. "No, I just met him actually." I lied and looked at Optimus who gave me an upset look with his optics.
That's when I noticed Night Flight standing in the parking lot. I quickly collected my things, said bye to the kids, and hurried to my motorcycle. Once everything was put away I hurried over to where Optimus was standing. I handed him a paper with an address on it and whispered, "Please come to this address tomorrow at 8:00 am. I need to make sure this is not a dream." then I faintly kissed his cheek and walked away.
When I looked back I saw a small grin on his face and I slightly grinned back before putting my helmet back on. I revved Night Flight's engine and sped off the parking lot at top speed. I raced out of town to a thick forest that was nearby and drove in. There were a lot of bumps and mini trampolines on the path that I was taking to my home. A treehouse that I build with the help of Night Flight. I stopped in front of my treehouse.
I got of Night Flight and she transformed. Right now she was small enough to sit on my shoulder like a small parrot. I rubbed her helm and she purred and leaned into the touch. "Hey, girl. I bet you got really bored waiting for me the entire day. I don't blame you for leaving, I actually thank you. If you had stayed I would not have met a friend I thought I would never see again . . . Anyway, let's go recharge. We have a long day tomorrow. Even though its Saturday." I headed to my berth and got in.
(A/N) Please comment and suggest what I should do. I kinda have a lot of things planned out for the near future. so see ya guys and gals later.
