Chapter 2: The Bot Named Drift
The next morning, I had woken up, and already saw the girls waiting for me. Seesh, thanks girls, glad you could really trust me. I stood up, yawning as I rubbed my optics slowly, walking over to them. "Is it time for school already?" I asked tiredly as they both nodded, already having their things. Grabbing mine, we started to walk to school as I began to think about Turbo again. It has only been a week since I heard note of his death, and yet, I can't stop thinking about him. He meant so much to me in this world, that if I could, I would join him in the Well of Allsparks. Something in my gut though told me that he would want me to live on. Find someone else to replace him. But could I do that without having to break my own spark or see that bot dead in a week as well? I don't know what to think anymore, its just so much to process right now. Stargazer was talking about Jazz, this Elite Guard member who which she had a crush on in a long time, while Melody, babbled on about some bot named Prowl, whom which she liked. Primus, did everyone have a crush on one another this vorn or something? Man, makes me feel sick that my boyfriend is dead. Look Chromia, try not to think about it much, or else you'll lose your reputation as the top tombot who always causes the most trouble. Think devious thoughts, those always made you feel better.
Well, as soon as we arrived at the Academy, everyone was talking about the bot named Drift. When I meant everyone, I seriously meant EVERYONE. Every femme mentioned how cute and strong he was WHILE the bot talked about how they wanted to rip him limb from limb. Wow, talk about a HUGE hint of jealously right then and there. "Primus, this Drift guy must be REALLY popular to catch everyone's attention." I said, reverting back to my old. non-caring self as Melody nodded. "Being he used to be a Decepticon and all, who wouldn't?" She said as I nodded. This guy really seemed to get all of our attentions before we saw him walking down the hall. When I saw him, my cheekplates flustered. Holy. Mother. of Primus. This bot was so smoking, I wasn't kidding! He was a bit bigger then me, but who cares, had white a white paint job with red streaks, and carried swords with him. Swords. Wow, putting him at the top of my "Do not mess with this bot" list. He stared at us before walking our way. Stargazer seemed a bit scared, Melody couldn't see, and I then suddenly changed to defensive mode, just in case he tried something funny. "Hello there. I haven't seen you femmes around yet, name's Drift." He said, speaking up as I stood there, starting to fume. This guy, who just so happens to be an Ex-Decepticon, just thinks he can walk up to us and talk to us? Why the nerve of that little bastard!
"My name's Stargazer. This is Melody, and that's-" Before Melody could finish, I interrupted Star and spoke up. "The name's Chromia. Head captain of the soccer team. Remember it." I said before walking off. As I did, I noticed Jazz watching me, walking over. Great, here we freaking go. I swear to Primus himself, I will literally kill myself if I have to hear him. I heard him speak up, looking away a bit. "Hey Chromia, something eating you up?" He asked as I scoffed a bit. Oh, he should damn well know what was eating me up. "What, you mean you don't remember? Wow, and Stargazer actually likes you. Shocker." I say to him as he followed me. "I've known about that for a while, and I also know about Turbo. But don't you think you took it a bit too far?" He asked me as I sighed loudly, trying to not lose my cool. "No Jazz.. On all levels, I believe that was way too LOW for far. Even you know that by now." I said to him before getting out of his line of sight as I sighed. My other friends, Blazefire and Stardust, were waiting for me on the soccer field, waving to me.
"Yo Chromia, hey girl!" Stardust shouted to me as I smiled, high-fiving her. "Hey girls, what's been happening?" I asked as Blazefire spoke up. "We've gotten word about that Drift guy. Girl, he's almost like you, but a guy." She mentioned as I nodded, kicking the soccer ball into the air as I balanced it on my nose. I really didn't care much if they talked about it, nor did I care for Stargazer or Melody. These four were my friends. I kept balancing the ball on my nose, sighing. "I swear, if this guy is in any of my classes.. I will literally start ripping some helms off." I said as the girls agreed with me. Already the thought made me feel so god damn sick to my stomach and spark. I mean, even if I did like him, could I give him a chance? I mean, he's nothing like Turbo at ALL. They had nothing in common at all. Not a single thing. "Yeah, we also have a substitute for Gym today. I'll give ya one good guess." Blazefire said as I sighed. Geez, man, the guess I would say was gonna make me laugh. "Let me guess.. Warpath?" I guessed as all three of us laughed loudly. Man, I just knew we would all three do that. One partical thing we all had in common was that we really hated Warpath. AND I mean truely despised him. "Please, I wish. But no, its Melody Uncle. Weird, huh?" Blaze said as my optics widened. "SAY WHAT!" I suddenly said, the ball hitting the top of my helm as I rubbed it. Crap, and today in Gym we were doing partner exercises today. Why of all days no less? Right before the weekend too.
-Time Skip to Chromia's Lunch right before Gym-
6th period. All I had to do is get through Gym, then mathematics, and I am free. Besides, me, Stargazer and Melody are spending the night at Melody's Uncle's anyways. We always do that for teamwork training and other exercises, so I didn't worry much. But what really ticked me off is that Drift was in my Gym class, so I know that things will not go well. I had to think of a plan, something that will get me into some serious trouble that I'll have to get kicked out of school for the rest of the day- No, am I crazy! The last time I did that, my parents grounded me for two months straight. Oh well, might as well get this thing over with. I picked up my tray after finishing my lunch, put it up to be washed, heard the bell ring, then walked off to the Gymnasium, where I would await my fate there.
Meanwhile, a voice in the distance could be heard, laughing faintly as it said, "Let Operation: Lovebots being.."
Author's Note: How did you guys like my ending? I added the voice for suspense, so I'll let you guess on who that person is. I'll upload Chapter 3 soon.
