"Right behind you in the stadium Knockout is here too."
"Good. Is she there somewhere?"
StarScream looked around hundreds of thousands of bots where here it was hard to tell who was where and what was what. StarScream scanned the crowd until he found the femme in question.
"Yah she is here. She's with her brother and that medical nut."
"Ah, Ratchet is the medical nut. Do you have her number?"
StarScream starred at the message,
"What?"
"It was a simple question StarScream."
"No I don't why?"
"Why do you think you idiot?"
StarScream rolled his eyes, so Megatronus liked SilverStorm Pax. "You know she probably hates you even more so now after what you did to Orian, those two are closer then close."
"I know that! Go get her number."
"Megatronus don't be a moron, there are thousands of bots here I can't just push past all of them to get to her. Do it yourself."
"So help me I will pound you! Now go!"
StarScream sighed, Megatronus could be a pain and cruel, but StarScream just went with it, Megatronus was the only friend he had. "Knockout. Do not go anywhere. Mom told me to keep an eye on you so STAY PUT!" Knockout rolled his eyes. "Whatever." StarScream made his way to SilverStorm, it wasn't easy but he managed to get there, "SilverStorm." He hollered. SilverStorm looked around, how anyone heard anything in this crowd was amazing, "Orian did you say my name." Orian shook his head, intently reading…whatever he was reading. "SilverStorm!" He hollered again, this time SilverStorm saw him. "Oh No" she thought "What does he want?"
SilverStorm made her way to the seating stairway isle, "What is StarScream?"
"Megatronus wants your number." SilverStorm shook her head, StarScream's amazing subtly was at work again. "Really?"
"No, I'm lying. Yes! I wouldn't have walked all the way over here if not. Now can he have it?" SilverStorm wanted to say no, but she had to admit to herself that it was kind of cute. "Sure" SilverStorm pulled StarScreams arm toward her, "Here" She wrote her data cell number on his arm. "There!" SilverStorm walked back to her seat. "What did he want?" Ratchet asked, "My number." Ratchet's optics widened, not only in surprise about her giving Megatronus her number but in the nonchalant way shes aid it. "You gave Megatronus your number?" He practically shouted. "Shhhhhh" SilverStorm hushed, Orian had heard, "SilverStorm you…don't actually well…like him do you?" SilverStorm made a disgusted face, "Of course I don't like him, but if I would had so no to giving him my number Megatronus would never leave me alone until he got it. So might as well save my self the embarrassment and annoyance of having StarScream up my butt every day until Megatronus got my number." Orian nodded knowingly, "As your brother I advise against going out with a mech like him, I know Dad will agree. Besides after what he did…now I know he has home issues but… " Ratchet nodded in agreement. "You two annoy me." SilverStorm rolled her eyes and sat back with her arms crossed.
"Megatronus"
"What?"
"I got it."
"great what is it?"
StarScream typed away to Megatronus. "And Send" he repeated to himself. Knockout laugh, "What did ya send?" not looking up from the game he was playing on his data pad. "Will you get off that thing? The school paid for all the students to come her we might as well watch the game." Knockout just shrugged, "Whatever" StarScream just rolled his eyes.
Megatronus typed SilverStorms number into his data cell, "Ah Whats the use" he held his finger over the delete button. "I blew it with that prank I pulled, no way she would want to go out with me." Megatronus hovered his finger over the delete and moved it to send, he moved his finger back and forth, "Hey Energon Boy!" one of his teammates called startling Megatronus causing him to hit the 'send' button. "Darn it Mavis!" Megatronus shouted, "Hey don't get so touché just bring the liquid!" Megatronus used every ounce of self-control to not hit Mavis or throw something at him. "ill be right there." He breathed. Megatronus gave one last look at his data cell, "Scrap, it sent."
SilverStorm's data cell buzzed, "Who was that?" "Hello?" "Mom?" …"Hey you got to speak louder the game and cheering is really loud!"… "Yah he is here." …"So is Ratchet." …"Yah I'll tell him." …"Okay, yah, yup love you ." SilverStorm hung up and leaned over to Orian, "Mom said Alpha Trion wants to talk with you when we get back. He told her that it was important." Orian looked over to SilverStorm with confusion, "Hope I didn't do something wrong." SilverStorm shrugged, "I don't know." Orian sat back trying to think what could possibly be wrong, Ratchet noticing. "Don't worry about it, he probably just wants to talk to you about files or something." Orian nodded but felt it was something more. SilverStorm looked at her data cell, "Megatronus texted, already?"
"Do you want to go out with me after we get back to Tiger Pass?"
SilverStorm leaned back, "Hmmmm" "Maybe" was all she typed.
Back in Tiger Pass after the game…..
{Victory: Poly Hex High}
Everyone moped the halls it had been four months after Poly Hexs victory but still was a big loss for the school. School had three more months yet to go and Megatronus still had not texted SilverStorm back. SilverStorm passed him everyday in the hall but he said nothing and didn't even look at her all he did was walk by. SilverStorm had given up hope of being asked out by Megatronus, and had set her sights on a much hotter bot. He was young, smart, attractive, and very chivalrous, Hes name was Ultra Magnus, he was a freshman too but still he was very quiet and kept to himself. "SilverStorm" Orian startled her from her thinking. "the principle wants to see us." SilverStorm looked worried, "Why what did we do?" Orian shrugged "I don't know? He just asked to see us." SilverStorm and Orian walked in silence to the office, Orian's hand shook, hopefully no one had pulled another prank on him. "Pax's please sit down" The principle point to two chairs on the other side of his desk. Both sat down nervously, " No need to be nervous" he started out, "We…we aren't nervous" SilverStorm replied.
"Oh really? Then why is your brothers hands shaking?" Orian looked at his hands and tried to stop them, "it's just last time I was called in here it was because of Megatronus." He shakily replied. " I can assure you both that this has nothing to do with you getting into trouble. I have been reviewing you and your sisters grades and to be honest I am quite impressed. I have been talking with the other teachers, your parents, and your boss and have been asking them about your work ethics, how you are outside of school, and when or if you guys study. After all consideration I would like to ask the two of you if you would like to next school year skip the sophomore year? As smart as you two are I would like to see you get out into the work force, using your smarts and abilities to better this planet." SilverStorm and Orian sat in shock, "Wow sir, we are very honored and if it would be okay I would like some time to talk over it with my sister. " Nodding the principle replied, "Indeed please even go home and discuss it further with your parents and Alpha Trion if you wish." Both of the siblings nodded, "Thank you sir." After exiting the room SilverStorm looked at Orian, "Skipping a grade would be absolutely awesome!" Orian nodded in agreement, "We would be able to enter the work force or college sooner and we would be onely one grade behind Ratchet."
"True" Orian nodded not saying much into the matter, "We can discuss it with mom and dad when we get home after school today."
Megatronus was listening from around the corner, that kid Orian and his sister were going to skip grades? Was that even possible? Turning to walk back down the hall Megatronus stopped when he saw his reflection in one of the lockers. Why was he so evil? Why did he bully other kids when he himself hated it from his father. Megatronus quickly spun on his heel and ran to catch Orian before he got on the bus. Making it outside just in time Megatronus spotted Orian and SilverStorm along with Ratchet in line for one of the buses. "ORIAN!" he hollered drawing attention to himself and Orian, SilverStorms spark skipped a beat as she whispered into Orians ear, "What does he want?" Orian simply shrugged, "What is it Megatronus?" Megatronus came to a skidding halt, " I…uh….I want to…well I want to talk to you and apologize for past events and want to assure you that they will never happen again." Orian took a small step back, "Why don't we sit together on the bus, you can come over to my house and we can talk. Maybe even study a little?" Megatronus smiled a small but sincere smile, "Thank you Orian." SilverStorm cocked one eyebrow as Orian and Megatronus boarded the bus, she would never understand her brother, but something inside told her that this was the beginning of something big.
Ratchet ran onto the bus, almost missing it having been caught up in the library, he was startled to see Orian sitting with Megatronus and they seemed to be having a normal conversation, catching SilverStorms gaze Ratchet walked over to sit with her. "So whats with them?" SilverStorm rolled her eyes, "I don't know, the guy practically gets my brother thrown into jail for a prank, flirts with me, and then goes silent for four months and now this? Something just doesn't make sense to me." Ratchet starred at her, "You were the one that gave him your number and said 'oh well' when Orian confronted you about it?"
"Not the same thing."
"Why not?"
"Because, my brother is so…so naïve when it comes to bots pulling one over on him, that's just how my brother is."
"Can't argue there, so whats this about you graduating early?"
"The principle asked if we would be interested in skipping a grade because our grades are good and apparently testing has showed we are ahead of the game as far as that goes." Ratchet nodded in agreement, " I agree with that." The two rode in silence for a while before SilverStorm happened to see Ultra Magnus down a few seats. "Oh my Primus its him!" he whispered, Ratchet looked around "Who?" SilverStorm gave Ratchet the 'really' look. "only the hottest, most attractive, smartest mech in the whole school!" Ratchet laughed, "Ive been here the whole time." SilverStorm punched him, "Not you retard! Ultra Magnus…" Ratchet smirked, "Oh please…you can do much better then him." SilverStorm smiled, "Look Ratch I've told you, I like you but not in that way your more like a brother to me then a boyfriend." Ratchets eyes widened, "Totally didn't mean it that way! But good reminder!"
