Chapter 17: Old Memories
"Is it Ratchet?"
"No."
"Mudflap and Skids?"
"No."
"Prowl?"
"No."
"Barricade?"
"No."
"Jolt?"
"No."
"Epps?"
"No."
"Galloway?"
"Heck no."
I sighed heavily. They've been asking me questions since the day I told them that I liked someone else. I kept on answering 'No' and they still want me to answer their questions. The twins suggested that they say the Autobots' names and I have to answer a 'yes' or 'no' to each name. I rejected all of the names, but I almost burst out laughing when the twins said Director Galloway's name. I mean, I have never even met the man! How could I like a man when I don't know who he is? And besides, Director Galloway sounded like a bad man.
I slammed my forehead on Jolt's dashboard. I was getting tired of these questions. So, I turned the radio off and leaned back to the leather seat. Jolt chuckled, as he'd been hearing our little chat since I got inside of his alt-mode. I decided to ride with the Chevrolet Volt because it was the best idea. If I go with Sideswipe or Sunstreaker, I might be questioned all the way back to base. On the other hand, if I go with Bumblebee, Samuel and Mikaela might question me as well.
I sighed heavily, as the radio switched on again. I groaned as the twins began to ask me questions once again. "Look, Mr. Swipe and Mr. Streaker. I do NOT like Director Galloway. And I love all of you equally, alright? I just like this someone more, okay?"
"Once we find out who this guy is, I swear to Primus that he's going to end up in the deepest pit!" I heard Sideswipe yelled.
"I'll be happy to assist you, brother." Sunstreaker said.
I groaned and turn to Jolt's holoform, "Help?" I asked.
Jolt chuckled and said, "Break it up guys. Jen's tired, and she's going to recharge now. You can ask her later. Over and out." He broke the link and clicked the radio off.
"Thank you, Doctor Jolt." I sighed in relief.
"You're welcome." He replied. "A quick question. Do you like Director Galloway? I'm just making sure that you haven't glitched or anything."
I laughed; "There is no way I would date someone like Director Galloway; he sounded really mean." I said as Jolt chuckled.
"You don't know the half of it!"
It has been two days since I last talked to Sideswipe or Sunstreaker. So now, it's the first day of school after a month long summer vacation. I basically went on my own, on my bike since I didn't want Bumblebee questioning me on my first day of school. I felt kind of bad for leaving them in such a hurry. Right now, it's around seven in the morning, and usually Samuel would pick Mikaela up around at seven thirty. He and Mikaela would arrive at school around seven forty five. Well, I always arrived at school earlier than the other students; so I was able to observe almost every student.
"Good afternoon, class." Mr. Spike greeted.
"Afternoon, Mr. Spike." The students groaned.
I grabbed my History book and placed it on my desk, opening it to page sixty. I heard a few weird noises coming from my right and behind me. I kept telling myself to not turn around but, I did. I glanced to my right and saw Mikaela sit right next to me, and Samuel was right behind me. I sighed as Samuel threw me a paper ball. I opened it up, and read what he had just written. I grabbed my pencil and began to write down my reply.
Sam: Hey, can you tell me, who this person is that you like?
Jen: No. It's classified.
Sam: The twins are going to bug you if you don't tell 'em.
Jen: I know. I intend to keep the person that I like a secret. Mr. Swipe or Mr. Streaker might hurt the person if I did tell.
Sam: Oh yeah. You know, Mikaela and the other girls are going to force the answer out of you.
Jen: I know. Now, pay attention to Mr. Stone before you fail his class.
I tossed the paper back to Samuel. My guess was he must have read it, because I just heard him slam his forehead on his desk. I heard Mikaela giggle. I felt a smile curl up my lips, as I turned my History book to page sixty one. It had a doodle of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker's holoforms, I had drawn it before I ever met their true form.
"Alright class, that's all for today. Go to your next class." Mr. Spike said as we all tidied our books.
I waited for Mikaela and Samuel to exit the classroom. Since the next class we're having is Gym, both Mikaela and I would go together to the girls' locker room. I pushed myself away from the wall and walked towards Mikaela and Samuel. We three headed towards the lockers to get our gym clothes. The gym uniform isn't that bad. It's a white t-shirt with a blue sweat jacket and blue shorts for boys. For the girls, a white t-shirt with the same blue sweat jacket and really short shorts, optional of course.
Mikaela wore the shorts but, not the shortest. I wore the knee length one. I observed the other girls and they wore the super short shorts. I heard Mikaela snorted and rolled her eyes at the other girls. I smiled nervously as Samuel fake vomited. I playfully smacked his arm and laughed a little. The coach blew his whistle and we approached him.
"Alright you sissies! Listen up! There's going to be a try out for the track team! Anyone who wants to join can step forward!" He yelled.
I perked up immediately. I always wanted to join the track team. Maybe by joining the team, my speed will increase; and if I ever meet a Decepticon, I'll be able to run faster. I glanced over at Samuel, who nodded in response. Looks like he wanted to join the track team too; we both stepped forward earning a look from Mikaela.
"We would like to join;" we both said in unison.
"Good! Anyone else?" Coach Mark yelled. "Witwicky! Jones! Get into position!" He yelled; and jabbed his thumb toward the starting line.
Samuel and I got into position. I placed my hand on the ground, and Samuel did the same. Coach Mark blew his whistle and we both ran as fast as we could. I heard Mikaela cheering for us at the starting line. I smiled and went faster. I passed Samuel with a proud smile. He had begun to tire a bit, but speeded up, and caught up with me. We were neck and neck.
Up front, I saw a group of girls. I ignored them, thinking that they were gossiping about Samuel and I joining the track team. I looked down for a brief moment, letting my guard down; and Samuel zoomed past me. I heard Samuel yelling for me to pay attention. I smiled a bit and raised my head up. When I looked up, I was tripped by one of the girls and my arm hit the hurdle that I was supposed to jump. I felt hard contact with the ground as I also felt pain in my leg and arm.
I slowly opened my eyes and flinched in pain as I tried to move. I looked down at my right leg. My eyes widened, my right leg had a big cut. I clutched the wound as tightly as I could to reduce blood loss. I also saw that the red liquid was running down my left arm. I bit my bottom lip to hold back an urge to scream out in pain. I closed my eyes tightly and felt tears filling up my eyes.
"Look at her!" A voice hissed. I snapped my eyes wide open. "Pathetic. Just pathetic. You think that you and Witwicky could be popular by joining the track Team?" She asked.
I stayed quiet.
"You're just a mute nobody with absolutely no talent. Why don't you just die?"
I felt a sharp pain shoot through my heart. My heart dropped as I lowered my face, slightly covering my eyes with my bangs. I gripped my right leg as I silently cried. I stopped crying when I realized something. I backtalked Trent, that means I can backtalk her as well. I shakily stood up, ignoring the sharp pain in my body. I could feel the blood tickling my skin. It was painful but, I had to hold it.
"Ms. Frankie, you can insult me all you want but, you DO NOT insult Mr. Samuel." I stated with a cold glare.
Even though I'm quiet, I have a very scary glare.
"Heh," Frankie snorted. "You think that glare of yours is going to bail you out of your problem? Not a chance." She laughed. "Witwicky should date another geek, Mikaela's too popular to go on a date with Witwicky."
"Ms. Frankie, Ms. Mikaela loves Mr. Samuel just the way he is." I glared again as I ignored Samuel and Mikaela.
Frankie snorted again and this time, she pushed my left shoulder, I flinched a bit as she smirked, "Witwicky's a nerd, a weirdo, a freak, just like you. But, you're so much worse!"
"Ms. Frankie; I am giving you a last warning to back away." I took a deep breath.
"Or what? Are you going to call your mommy and daddy?" She faked crying. "Oh that's right! Your mommy and daddy don't even know you exist!" Frankie and her friends laughed.
I felt anger rising up inside me. I raised my right hand and slapped her hard. Frankie stared, wide eyed, at me while I only stared at her blankly. "Ms. Frankie, I gave you a last warning, didn't I?"
"Why you little good for nothing bitch!" Frankie grabbed my jacket and punched my cheek.
I felt a little bit of blood on my mouth. I continued to glare at Frankie as she pushed me to the ground. Samuel and Mikaela tried to break the fight up, but the two were being held by Frankie's friends. I stared at Frankie blankly; as Frankie was either about to hit me with her fist or claw me with her fingernails. But, I didn't feel any pain. I stared closely at the shadows, and saw Emily there. She was defending me. Emily pushed Frankie off of me and helped me up.
"Hey! Don't bug my sister! Bug someone else!" Emily defended.
"Pfft. Emily, Emily, Emily!" Frankie sighed Emily's name. "What are you doing? Are you protecting this lowlife piece of trash?" She mocked.
"Yes! Don't like it? Deal with it!" Emily yelled again.
"Fine." The leader snorted and laughed.
I heard Mikaela and Samuel call out my name. I turned my head toward them, and smiled a bit. I looked back up, and Emily stared up at my bright blue eyes. She had a soft smile on her lips as she gripped my shoulder. "Jen! You've got to protect yourself! I cannot defend you all the time! Why don't you just learn Martial Arts? As much as I want to protect my older sister, I can't. I would love to but, can't." Emily said.
I sighed heavily, "I know" I breathed.
"Good!" Emily smiled as she placed her hand on her hips. "'Cause your friends are coming! I'll check up on you later, 'kay?" She shouted over her shoulder as she ran towards Trent.
I smiled a bit at her.
"Oh my; Jen! Are you alright? Of course you're not! You're bleeding!" Samuel panicked.
Mikaela helped me up. "We should take you to the nurse. SAM! Help me!" She yelled.
They both helped me towards the nurse's office.
"There you go, Ms. Jones;" the nurse said.
I smiled at the nurse. She had bandaged my right leg and my left arm. I tried to stand up; but stumbled a bit. Samuel quickly caught me by my good arm and Mikaela gasped a bit. I nodded to Samuel, and glanced back at the nurse. The nurse, Mrs. Tang, looked at me worriedly. I looked over towards Samuel and he paled a bit.
"I'm afraid that you need to see a doctor. I'm giving you a letter." She said as she began to write a note or a doctor's note. "I'm letting you out of school early." She continued.
"We're coming with her." Mikaela suddenly said.
Mrs. Tang shook her head, "No; you two need to get back to class. I'm sure her parents will pick her up right away."
I glanced over at Mikaela and Samuel, "Don't worry, Mr. Samuel and Ms. Mikaela. I'll be fine by myself. Go back to class and I'll contact Doctor Ratchet or Doctor Jolt on my way home." I whispered the last part.
They both seemed unconvinced, but they both finally agreed.
I grabbed my bike and hid away from Bumblebee. I didn't want him or the others to be worried about me having a small accident at school. I especially didn't want the twins or Barricade to know about what happened today. The three of them would probably hunt down the girls for hurting me. Ratchet might throw an over-sized wrench, Ironhide and Chromia might blast the girls with their cannons, and the rest of the Autobots might do the same.
I hesitated to call Ratchet or Jolt. I was afraid that they both were going to over-react and send Ironhide or William. Knowing that the military duo might arrest the girls that hurt me, I certainly didn't want to make a fuss on the first day of school. I kept on staring at my cell phone's screen while I was pedaling my old blue bike. I completely stopped as I passed by an old playground. I stared at the playground. It really brought back memories.
I was around seven back then. I was alone sitting at the corner of the sandbox with my sketch book and colored pencils. I kept on staring at my sketch book. From the corner of my eyes, I saw my classmates playing with each other. I frowned a bit, as I looked down at my sketch. Staring at the sketch I just drew. It was the playground with me alone. I sighed heavily.
"Hey," a soft voice called out. I felt a bit of weight on top of my head. I look up to see a brunette with pair of bright blue eyes. "Why are you here all alone?" He asked.
I only stared at him with a really cold stare.
Um, you're Janette Jones, right?" He asked, as I nodded. My guess was he looked at my nametag. "Well, Janette. Mind if I call you Jen?" He asked again as I shook my head.
"My name's Christopher Ronald. You can call me Mr. Chris or Mr. Ronald. Or just call me Chris. From now on, I'll be playing with you!" Christopher smiled warmly at me.
That's when I began to open up a bit to him and the other students.
I used to give him flowers and always get good grades for him. He would treat me to ice cream if I ever got an A. Chris was my very first friend that I ever had. He'd been nice to me when my parents started to care about Emily more than me. He would be there to comfort me. Once, he found me crying at the edge of the playground. I remembered when he would use a puppet to cheer me up. That would always bring a smile to my face. Thinking of him made me miss him so much.
After all, he was my first love, even though he's older.
The last time I saw him was when he turned sixteen, I was eleven back then. He's five years older than me and right now, he's around twenty three. He said that his dream is to be a successful businessmen or a teacher. I support him and his dreams. He kept on supporting my old dream, to be a mechanic. I don't know why I even dream of becoming a mechanic.
I smiled at those old memories that one playground held. I hopped off of my bike, and wheeled the bike by my side as I went onto the playground. It was a bit rusty but it was still a playground. I smiled as I glanced around the playground, but my eyes landed on the young man standing in the middle of the rusty playground. I stared at him for a moment.
He turned around to look at me. He was wearing a black suit with a loosened tie. He had spiky brown hair, and bright blue eyes. I stared at him with wide eyes; gulping a bit as I felt a smile coming up to my lips.
"Jen?"
In front of me was the boy that I really liked when I was little.
Sam dialed in the number into his cell phone and waited patiently for an answer. He tapped his foot on the cement ground, and crossed his arm . He was calling Ratchet because he was worried about Jen and wanted to make sure that Jen made it to the Med Bay. He was marching down the parking lot with Mikaela right behind him. They walked towards Bumblebee with a worried expression. Bumblebee chirped and whirred worriedly as well, after seeing his charge was having one of his mood swings again.
"Hello?" A grumpy voice answered.
"Ratchet! Thank goodness you answered! And why didn't you answer earlier; you grouchy, wrench throwing medic?" Sam sighed in relief.
"Sam! What in the name of the AllSpark are you calling me for?! If there's a medical emergency, contact me! But DO NOT; I repeat, DO NOT contact me if you're just going to call me names!" Ratchet yelled.
"Yeah, yeah, Doc Bot! Listen, is Jen with you?" Sam asked as he got to the main point.
"No, she is not with me. Why in the name of Cybertron are you asking me that question? Isn't she with you and Mikaela?" Ratchet asked back a bit of concern in his voice.
"Damn it!" Sam cursed loudly. "Ratchet! Listen, earlier today, Jen had an accident! Some girls decided to trip her and she ended up with a large bloody cut on her right leg and her left arm-" he was cut off by the CMO.
"WHAT?! And you didn't contact me?!" Ratchet yelled.
"I didn't! But, Jen said that she would contact you or Jolt!" Sam shouted at the same time he was panicking inside Bumblebee with Mikaela. "Wait! Is she with Barricade? Or Sides and Sunstreaker?"
"Primus no! Barricade is right here with us; and the twins' just drove away to pick her up." Ratchet replied.
"You don't think that she's with a 'Con now, do you?" Mikaela snatched the cell phone from Sam.
"I hope she's not". Ratchet mumbled.
"Alright, I've just told Optimus what just happened and comm. linked the terror twins. Ironhide and Chromia are not happy with the news. Try to avoid those two until you've found Jen. I'll send out Jolt just in case. At the mean time, find Barricade and begin searching for her with him. Ratchet out." Ratchet explained.
"Okay" Mikaela said and hung up.
"Bee, We're going to search for Jen with 'Cade." Sam said as Bumblebee revved his engine.
"Let's just hope the twins don't cause any terror." Mikaela prayed.
"I hope so too."
"Ratchet to terror twins. Do you two lug headed twins copy?
"Hey! Hatchet! What gives?" Sideswipe asked. "We were just going to pick Jen up! Nothing bad will happen!"
"That's the thing, Sideswipe. Jen is in trouble." Ratchet said.
"WHAT?!" Both of them yelled in unison as the two Lamborghinis hit the brakes.
"Yes, apparently she was supposed to contact me or Jolt after an accident at their school. She had a cut on her right leg and left arm. A large one as Sam explained to me." Ratchet explained.
"Great! Just great! Now she might be running around Tranquility with a bloody arm and a bloody leg! Primus! I hope she's alright!" Sunstreaker shouted.
"When I find the fragger that hurt her, I swear he's going down!" Sideswipe quickly revved his engine as he and his twin speeded towards Tranquility High.
"Actually, the 'he' you are referring to is a femme." Ratchet corrected as the twins growled. "Just keep on a look out and comm. link me back if you found her. I want her in my Med Bay with Jolt immediately."
"Okay." The twins responded.
"Sunny; I'm worried!"
"Me too Sides, me too!"
A/N: Chap done! So the mysterious guy is Christopher Ronald, Jen's first Best friend. And we know now, that Jen's formalities comes from Christ ^^. So she kinds of lied a little ;)
