A New Step in Life

Note: Here's another new story for you guys. If you really want to know, this will be another Bumblebee story. I have to stick with my roots. I love this ship and I hope to make another good story with these two. However, I must point out something. This is actually the collaboration of me and one my readers. Without him/her, I wouldn't have thought about this so I'd like to give a shout out to Rusk. I hope you and everyone else enjoys this story.

Life has taken another big step. Ruby is starting middle school and Yang is starting high school. This is a huge moment in these girls' likes and they have no idea what's in store for them. Their parents have always talked to them about how these steps in life will provide something new for them. Whenever they heard about it, they couldn't help but be filled with joy. They've been waiting so long for this moment and it was finally here. The day where they get to go to middle school and high school.

On the first day of school, Ruby and Yang got up early to make sure that they wouldn't be late. Once when they were done, they ran down stairs to meet up with their parents who were in kitchen preparing breakfast. They didn't notice them at first so Ruby and Yang snuck up behind them and hugged their dad.

"Good morning daddy." He turned around and smile as he picked them both up by the waist and spun them around.

"Good morning. How are my two girls doing?"

"We're great. We're so excited to start school again."

"Haha, you rarely hear that from kids nowadays."

"Alright, you three. Let's calm down. Breakfast is here. Take your seats. We don't want our girls to be late on their first day of school." The three of them quickly took their spots at the table and awaited their food. Their mother set the food down right in front of them and they immediately dug in without a care in the world. She was the only one who ate like a normal human being. The other three were pretty much pigs. Once they were finished, they grabbed their bags and made their way to the front door.

"Alright, we're off."

"Hold it!" Ruby and Yang stopped dead in their tracks right before exiting the house. They turned around slowly to see their father walked towards them. "Did you two forget something?" Yang walked up to her father and stood right in front of him. Out of nowhere, she bumped her right hip against his and then her left one and then hugged him with a smile.

"Bye dad, I'll see you later."

"Alright. Ruby, what about you?" He stuck up his hand and she stared it down with intense concentration. Then, she tried slapping it, but she was too slow. He then stuck up his other hand and she tried the same thing, but it didn't work either. Then, the two of them rubbed their noses together and hugged each other one last time.

"Bye daddy."

"Bye sweety. Don't forget to kiss your mommy goodbye." They ran up to her and kissed her on the cheeks. "Bye," they yelled as they furthered themselves from their house.

"Have a great day girls." Once they were out of sight, the closed the door and hoped for the best.

As they walked to school, they couldn't stop talking about what was going to happen to them. So many new things were going to happen to them that they couldn't even imagine it. All they knew was that things were going to be different, no matter how they thought about it. After a few minutes, they reached a bridge which lead to the middle school that Ruby was attending. They stopped and gave each other one last hug for the road.

"Have a great day, Rubes," she said as she rubbed her head.

"I will. I love you."

"I love you too." After their hug, Ruby broke off and started to run in the direction of the school. Yang waved goodbye, but Ruby was too excited to look back. Yang smiled and continued on her way to her school.

When she got there, she was completely in awe. The school was huge. Tons of kids were walking onto campus. Unfortunately, Yang didn't have any friends who were attending her school so she had to do her best to try and appeal to others. As she made her way through the crowd of students, she couldn't help but feel determined that something was going to happen to her that she would never forget. She walked to the schedule desk where she picked the necessary things for the first day of school. She checked out her textbooks and other things and then she was finally ready. She looked at her schedule to see the list of classes she was taking. Nothing seemed to extreme, except for the fact that the bell rang to go to class and she didn't even know where her classes were.

As quick as she could, she asked around to see if anyone could help, but everyone was too busy weaving through the sea of kids to get to her class. She endlessly turned her head to see if anything could give her a hint. She looked down at her paper and her first classroom read "Petunia 1-A." She then looked back up to see if any of the buildings had the word "Petunia" on it. After a while, she finally found the building with that word on it. She crashed through the door, but was on the complete other side. She quickly ran through the halls until she finally arrived at her classroom. She dived through the door and crashed into the floor.

"Excuse miss, but what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." She stood up and brushed off the dust from her clothes. "I was just trying to find Petunia 1-A. I am in the right place, right?"

"Yes you are. Please take a seat."

"Of course." Right before she did, she spotted another girl about her age standing next to the teacher. She was beautiful. She had long, black hair and her eyes glowed like nothing she's ever seen before. She didn't realize it, but she was staring at that girl for a while until the teacher had to forcibly guide her to an empty seat.

"Alright, moving along. Class, I would like to introduce to you the Freshman Class President. This is Blake Belladonna." She bowed to the class and everyone clapped.

"I'm looking forward to working with all of you." She lifted her head back up and returned to her seat. As she did, she noticed Yang still looking at her. Yang smiled and waved to her, but she didn't acknowledge her. Immediately, Yang knew that things were going to be a little harder than she thought.

As her first day of school kicked in to high gear, she tried to do everything to make at least one friend. So far, that plan wasn't going too well since the class president totally brushed her off like she was nothing. However, she didn't let that affect her. She continued to try. Lunch was definitely the hardest time of the day for her. Since she didn't know anybody, she didn't know where to go or who to sit by. The whole campus was open during lunch so there was a lot room to wander around. The only bad thing was that Yang didn't know what to do. She heard rumors that freshman always have it the hardest and she was starting to believe in it more and more.

With nowhere to go, she decided to venture through some of the buildings just to get acquainted with them. Her first stop was the Jeff Williams Conservatory of Music. The building was huge and very pretty. On the outside were students practicing their instruments. She couldn't help but smile. She heard rumors that the music program there was really good so she knew this was going to be worth her time. As she walked through the halls, she could hear music from all over, but there was only one thing that caught her attention. She heard a guitar playing in one of the rooms. When she discovered where it was coming from, she didn't hesitate to check it out.

The room from where it was coming from was open so she took a peek. Inside, there was a girl playing her guitar in the corner. At first, she thought she was going to play something heavy since her look indicated that, but she actually played something soothing to the ear. The sound of the guitar was so lovely that Yang found herself leaning against a shelf of cases. Unfortunately, she knocked over a few of them, causing the girl to turn around.

"Uuhhhh… Someone knocked those over. I don't know."

"Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Yang. I'm a freshman."

"Ah, freshman always find their way in this building." She stood up from her stool and walked over to me with her hand out.

"I'm Coco. I'm a junior." Yang eye's got wide. She was actually talking to a junior without being made fun or anything like that. "So how do you like things so far?"

"Um, it's alright. It's a lot scarier than I thought it would be."

"Haha, don't worry. You'll warm up to it soon enough." All of a sudden, the bell rang to get to class. "Well, I gotta go. Maybe I'll see you around some time." She packed up her guitar and headed out. Yang was speechless. She didn't know nice upperclassmen actually existed. It almost felt like a dream.

For the rest of the day, that was all she could think about. She managed to meet one cool person on her first day of school. No matter what, she thought that was a huge success. When school ended, she ran off as fast as she could to meet up with Ruby so they could walk home together.

When they got home, they were welcomed back by their parents, hoping to hear everything about their first day. Right from the start, Ruby was the star of the show. She kept on going about how awesome middle school was. She made a lot of friends and her teachers were all really cool. Unfortunately, this brought Yang down a little bit. It was a little discouraging to hear that her little sister had a more successful day than she did, but she did her best to put on a smile for everyone else.
