Shayla's POV
I had to run to get to school on time. I knew I had spent too long with Knockout. The autobots don't want me near him because they say he's evil. I walked into class as the bell rang and sighed. I made it. Jack turned and saw me come in. He looked worried and I realized that my eyes may still be red from crying earlier. I tried to focus on what the teacher was saying until Jack passed me a note.
"Are you okay?" it said.
"Yeah, I just visited my dad's grave." I responded. He didn't write anything back and I was glad for that. During lunch Miko pulled me to where she sat with Jack and Raff.
"What do you think?" Miko asked.
"About what?" I asked quietly.
"About the-"
"About our friends," Jack intervened.
"Ah, so they're a secret?" I said. They nodded and I continued to pick at my food.
"Are you okay? Is it something to do with Knockout?" Raff asked.
"No, it's nothing like that. Today's my dad's birthday." I said.
"Well why are you sad?"
"Raff-" Jack started.
"He's dead." I said.
"What?" Raff said as his eyes widened a little.
"I visited his grave before school."
"Wow I'm…I'm sorry." After he said that we were quiet. I ended up not finishing my lunch and threw it away.
Knockout's POV
I made it back to base in time to be questioned by Breakdown. He stood next to our leaders damaged body with his arms crossed across his chest.
"Another race?" he asked.
"Not today." I responded and he sighed.
"Knockout I don't think you should be seeing this girl anymore. Besides she's a human, why bother?"
"What's wrong with making friends?" he shook his head.
"That's not what I mean. You're going to get caught sooner or later."
"You won't tell, right?" he groaned.
"Fine, but if Starscream finds out, I'm out of here. I don't want to get killed for this."
"Starscream won't find out." I said, but a movement caught my eye across the room. I turned to see Soundwave standing there.
"Scrap," Breakdown and I muttered at the same time.
Soundwave, if you don't know already, is "the eyes and ears of the decepticons" and Starscream even says, "Keep your voice down! That Soundwave sees and hears everything!" I love his loyalty to Megatron and his story with Megatron.
