-Chapter One: First Time they Ever Meet-
Starscream stood in front of his new school Young fliers and felt a feeling he had never felt before. Believe it or not, he was nervous.
He didn't feel right leaving his old school behind. Why? You may ask. Well, Starscream was no good at making friends and the only friend he'd ever had in his life: Jetfire, was in his old school in Tarn.
Not that there was anything wrong with Starscream. He had always been the top in class and got excellent grades but making friends was-hard, at least for him. Starscream rarely had anything to share and he didn't like hanging out with others and for that reason, he felt alone but Jetfire came and decided to become friends with him. Ever since then, Starscream and Jetfire would share everything-until now.
Now, Starscream was in Vos. Away from his old home, his old school and his old friend. Starscream couldn't help but gulp as he slowly stepped towards the school doors.
Starscream entered the school and slowly made his way to his class, filled with dread about the coming day. Finally, he reached his classroom and slowly reached for the doorknob.
He opened the door to find himself standing before a whole crowd of students, whose attention turned towards Starscream, who was standing unsure in the doorway.
"Class, this is our newest student, Starscream!" Said the teacher to the class and made them all welcome Starscream into his new class. Starscream, however was not reassured. Everywhere he looked were unfamiliar faces. At least he had known everyone in his old school.
"Starscream, how about you sit over there? With Thundercracker?" Said the teacher kindly to him, pointing towards a kid who sat alone, doing his work quietly. "Sure, mam" said Starscream, heading towards Thundercracker and sitting next to him.
"Asalamoalikum!" He said and Thundercracker muttered something. "What was that? Didn't quite hear you" said Starscream and Thundercracker said "Umm...I was saying Walikumasalam". "Ok-" but before he could continue any further, the door opened and somebody walked in.
"Skywarp, you're late" said the teacher, sighing as she looked at the student called Skywarp.
"Sorry, teacher" said Skywarp, not looking sorry at all. "It's alright. Please sit down next to Starscream, as there is no other avalaible space".
The student called Skywarp looked around. He didn't know who Starscream was. "He's right there" said the teacher pointing at the place. "And Skywarp-" she said when he reached the place. "Yes, teacher?" He asked, looking annoyed. "Don't tease Starscream. He's a new student here and don't let me hear a single complain about you pulling pranks, alright?" Said the teacher, looking at Skywarp inquiringly. Skywarp nodded reluctantly and sat down.
Once the teacher's attention moved away from Skywarp, he leaned nearer to Starscream and muttered "So, new student, eh? Well, let's see what you can do..." said Skywarp as if he was challenging Starscream but Starscream smirked. What I can do? I'll show him what I can do, alright...
"So, Thundercracker, I'm sorry we were talking. I was going to ask what's the teacher's name?" Asked Starscream, turning around, once more to talk to Thundercracker. "Huh? What?" Said Thundercracker, surprised that someone had remembered to talk to him of all people. "Sorry-umm...her name is Miss Sidra" said Thundercracker. "She's very nice and kind" he continued.
"Ok, thanks" Starscream had time to say before the Miss Sidra started their first lesson.
After a couple of periods...
It was break time. All the students headed out to the cafeteria but Starscream was hung up as he had forgotten his notebook somewhere. In reality, Skywarp had hidden his notebook in his bag without telling Starscream as a prank.
"Hey, Thundercracker?" Said Starscream, heading over to him. Thundercracker was writing something on a piece of paper. The moment Starscream came though, he hid the paper and looked up at him, "Yeah?". "I was wondering if you knew where my notebook had gone to? I think I forgot it...Mam would be wanting it after break..." said Starscream worryingly. His study was very important to him. "Uhh-I don't know...wait! Check in Skywarp's bag! He always does this with new students to prank them!" Said Thundercracker.
Starscream immediatly checked and found his notebook and felt relieved. "ALHAMDULILLAH" he said and hugged Thundercracker. "Thanks! You're a life saver!" Thundercracker looked alarmed. It seemed, that like Starscream, he hadn't had many friends either.
They both headed to the cafeteria together, talking. Thundercracker was slowly coming out from his shell, for having a real life friend other than Skywarp was something he had always dreamt about. They sat on the the table together but then suddenly, Skywarp joined them.
"What are you doing here, notebook stealer?" Said Starscream and Skywarp said, surprised, "You figured it out, screamer?"
"Well, of course I did. Not on my own though"
"Did Thundercracker tell you?"
Starscream sensed that if he told that Skywarp that Thundercracker had indeed told him, Thundercracker would be in trouble so instead, he said "No. Someone else...".
"Well, at least you figured it out, you're the first one. Even if it wasn't you on your own and...as much as I hate to admit it...I've seen you all day and I think you're- cool" said Skywarp sort of hesitantly.
Thundercracker watched the two, feeling sad. Now, that they had become friends, they'll probably just forget about him...
"Well, I guess I should go..." Thundercracker said sadly.
"What do you mean?" The both of them said in unison.
"I figured- you wouldn't wanna be friends with someone like me so you know...I should go" said Thundercracker.
"What are you talking about? Of course I want you as a friend! You're awesome!" Said Starscream.
"And why would you think I wouldn't wanna be friends with you, cracker? We've been friends from the start!" Said Skywarp.
"Really?" said Thundercracker, a hope lighting up his face.
"Yeah" said Skywarp.
"Of course" said Starscream.
"Fine, then how about we form a group, no- a trio?" Asked Thundercracker. "If that's fine with you guys" he continued.
"Yeah! We should! Just one question- what would we call the trio? The three pranksters? Nah, that sounds weird and you two aren't pranksters as far as I know" said Skywarp.
"The three adventurers?" Suggested Thundercracker.
"How about- the Seekers?" Suggested Starscream.
"That's great!" Said Skywarp.
"Awesomeness!" Said Thundercracker.
"Fine, then that's what we'd call ourselves. The Seekers. Come on Skywarp and Thundercracker, lets have some fun!".
Author's Note: I already have this on wattpad and with time, I'll be publishing all the stories I have there here as well. I know this is cute and I am a big fan of this trio! I wanted to write on the Seekers for a long time when I started this and SingingFlames' All for One series was a great inspiration for me!
Anyway, hope you like this story. And don't mind small spelling and grammer mistakes. I intend to make them when writing hurriedly ...
Happy Reading! :)
