Megatron walked down the near empty lunch time halls. The few students he did pass by through the halls made sure to avert their eyes in an attempt to not draw his attention.

He rolled his eyes, unimpressed.

Yeah, as they should. He thought arrogantly.

He already had two whole years worth of reputation under his belt in the school. He had worked hard to get that.

It wasn't too easy for a freshman to become known and feared amongst even the seniors, but he had always been large for age. Tough, a natural born leader, a little hard headed but no one would ever say that he wasn't smart.

Mason Trone. Accepted into the Cybertron Academy for his astonishing athleticism and cunning brilliance in civics.

The moment he had walked through the doors of the school he knew that he would be a leader. That he would rule over the school, make a school even more worthy of note. He made sure everyone knew his name first.

Picking a fight and winning against the "toughest" senior at the time seemed to be a smart and the quickest way to accomplish this.

Striking fear into the student body wouldn't exactly earn much loyalty either, so he applied for the Prime Program. He probably would've gotten the spot too.

Then Orion "Oppie" Pax had to step in where he didn't belong to oppose him.

Perfect little Pax stealing his chance at spotlight. So Mason was dyslexic, big deal. So he had trouble with english, what of it? But nope, the Council let Oppie fraggin' Pax have the Matrix Pass.

So Mason Trone created the Decepticons, mostly comprised of students that didn't always meet the (Cybertron Academy) standards.

Then Orion Pax stuck his nose in again, and created the Autobots to stand against him.

Megatron sighed as he walked to his locker. The damn Autobots. They were his biggest problems, especially with Optimus at their head. Then he had to deal with the incompetence of his own Decepticons. Not to mention that he had several personal issues that needed sorting out.

He reached his locker and opened it. As he took out the books he needed for the next few periods, sharp heel clicks could be heard echoing from the end of the hall.

Megatron groaned and grit his teeth in annoyance as he immediately recognized those stupid, annoying heels.

"Mason!" Ara Chadnid exclaimed in a fake high pitched voice. "Are you going out for lunch?"

"No." Megatron replied plainly before closing his locker and turning away, but the stupid glitch was persistent.

"Aww, what's the matter? I thought we were closer than this Mason." Airachnid continued.

Megatron stopped in his tracks and spun around to face the girl.

"We aren't close. We were never, close. I hate you. Loathe, despise, detest. The only reason I haven't made a scene is because of my superb self control." Megatron replied through grit teeth.

Airachnid rolled her eyes. "Please. You're just afraid to feel hun. Although, you've never been so impatient with me before...oh-ho wait! Could that be because of that other girl that you-"

With that prompt Megatron shot forward to grab her by her throat and push her against the lockers.

"Shut up alright. I hold no quarrels about turning you into an unrecognizable pulp. I would be more than willing and ready to get you expelled in the process as well." Megatron spoke quietly.

With that Airachnid's calm glimmery gaze turned into a cold glint of malice and rage.

"I'm not one to be trifled with either Mason. You know that." She coughed.

Megatron continued to glare at her for a bit longer before letting her go. She dropped to the floor, clutching her throat and gagging.

"Mess with me. I dare you glitch." Megatron left the girl with that threat and walked off without a single look back.

On his way to the cafeteria Megatron passed by Dominique Prax at the foot of her locker, fast asleep.

"Hey Dommie." He whispered before continuing on his way as if he hadn't seen her.


This would've been longer but I decided to keep it as a Megatron chapter. I also decided to explain the war from his point of view first because I thought it would be interesting. We never get to really see it from his point of view. (I say this having never read any comics or Exodus)

Also, romance...it ain't my thing. Don't expect a lot of this teenage drama as the high school story progresses.

Another thing, Secret (the guest reviewer) brought this up. I have ideas for it, but I don't know if I'll do a Prime-Verse Cybertronian/Cybertron Academy crossover. Do you guys want that sometime in the future? Maybe? No? Yes? Just food for thought.

Let me know what you think! Comment and review!
