[Hey guys! So I actually swear that I was going to post these chapters, but I got my phone taken away over something stupid that I did. I'm actually trying to find every way possible to post to you guys so please don't come at me when I don't post.]

(Chapter 9)

(Ven POV)

So a few days later, after some begging, persuasion that somehow worked, I'm now officially a student to hack and learn all about the Cybertronian race.

—-

I groaned in tiredness and in irritation as I looked through all of the assignments that Soundwave gave to me. I forgot that since I'm now a student, I'm basically back in school. Otherwise known as the devil's land, where nightmares, depression, drama, and soul sucking heart break is at every corner.

Anyway, let me tell yall how I got Megatron to question whether or not he should have taken me on his ship. Bro it was hella funny. He was so confused.

(earlier)

I was in my room, just barely waking up and trying to get my hair to straighten itself because I didn't want to deal with a birds nest throughout the day and when I tell yall that when Megatron summoned me I jumped the fuck up.

I was zooming around, trying to get on some clothes because I knew that wearing some clothes that smelled of sweat, dirt, and something of a stinky mystery would not be pleasant when talking to someone. I cleaned myself up, and yes I brushed my teeth. I have no doubt that these guys have super noses so I'm going to be on top of my hygiene.

When I finally got myself put together I made sure to put on some deodorant and let the Vehicon that was to give me a ride that I was ready to go. I also should add that G4r7 is a sweetheart and should be protected along with St3v3.

Anyway, we got to the throne room and I was dropped off outside… I'm by myself and there was no one else in the throne room. Did I do something wrong while I was asleep ooooorrrrr…..?

I, somehow, was able to walk through the automatic doors to the throne room and I walked in nervously. I was fiddling with the hem of my shirt and everything. Got me shifting on my feet.

I walk up to Megatron and I keep my head down, fiddling with my fingers and looking every way other than Megatron. I didn't want to just look at him, because if I did I'd just be staring right at him, lookin' all weird and shit. Let's move on.

It was quiet for quite a while before he even spoke. I kinda let out a breath of relief and I listened closely. Well, as closely as I could. I can't really listen all that well when I was just startled awake. My brain still feels heavy and full of fluff. I blinked slowly up at him as I tried my best to follow along and not fall asleep standing on my feet.

Megatron had his fingers interlocked with his elbows propring his elbows on the arms of his throne. He kinda looked like he wanted to scold me or some shit, but ain't nobody got time for that shit.

"You've been summoned to discuss what you could offer to the Decepticons."

I had to pause for a moment because-y'know what, let's be honest, I didn't hear him for shit. I'm over here leaning side to side, forward and back, my vision is all bleary and weird, I'm slouched very heavily, nearly looking like I'm bent over in pain or some shit. My ears are ringing like a bitch too.

I could tell that Megatron was confused by my appearance. I could feel his optics appraising me and all that. I didn't like it even when I was half awake, but I also didn't give a fuck at the moment, and when I don't give a fuck my mouth flies open with absolutely NO filter. I'ma keep my mouth shut though. I don't feel like dying right now. Maybe later.

Megatron spoke again saying my name in a strange manner and this time I heard him clearly. I had to shake my head like a dog in order to get my focus.

"What is your malfunction?"

I squinted up at him as if there was a bright light shining in my face and I tilted my head. Oh I shouldn't have done that. Now the room's spinning.

I spoke this time, but my voice sounded slurred and slightly delirious.

"Whatchutalkinabeet?"

Megatron looked slightly confused. He raised a brow and he leaned back on his throne. He stayed silent for a moment to watch me for a little bit longer before I heard him comm. Soundwave to make his way down to the throne room.

When Soundwave made his way to the throne room and made his way inside he looked down and saw me in my half awake state. I looked high out of my mind. I smelled clean and I looked like I had nothing in my system, but I looked to be working on fumes. I really wasn't, but I'm not a morning person and I only got a few hours of sleep.

Megatron spoke again, clearly wanting to know my 'malfunction' and how I could be 'fixed'.

"Soundwave. I need you to find the solution to their weird behavior."

Soundwave silently made his way over to me and he picked me up. I went limp and I made a silly sounding 'wee' sound when he did. I flopped around and giggled sluggishly when he moved me around like a rag doll. When he moved me just a tad bit too fast I groaned.

"Put me down you wet spaghetti noodle. I'll puke all over your face if you don't!"

I was warning him because if he really didn't stop I really just might puke. I didn't like puke and Decepticon Cybertronians don't like disgusting organic waste like matter.

Soundwave stopped moving me around and slowly set me on the ground. I stumbled around when I got to my own feet, but I managed not to fall face first into the ground. I shook my head quickly and I grunted as I took a breath and put my hands behind my head.

"Woo. I feel like I'm on drugs. I'm probably still dehydrated. Did I drink enough water?"

As I was rambling to myself like a crazy person Megatron was looking at me with a raised brow and Soundwave was just watching me closely, analyzing my behavior or something.

All of a sudden, Starscream walks in, completely unaware of what's going on, and majorly confused by my strange delirious behavior.

"What is happ-"

Starscream was interrupted by me. I sounded a tad too happy when I screamed out his name like some drunk person.

"Hey bestie!"

Starscream only stared. He pointed at me then looked to Soundwave, speaking to him with a weirded out look on his face as he wanted to know why I am acting this way.

"How did they end up this way?"

Soundwave was quiet for a few moments before he showed footage of me staying up at ungodly hours of the night, typing away on my computer and looking absolutely exhausted. The footage ended when it showed me face planting on my computer, knocked the fuck out like I got the old one two.

Everyone looked to me, now knowing what my problem was and why I was acting in such a way. I only looked back at them with furrowed brows and narrowed eyes.

"Da fuq you all lookin' at? I ain't no spectacle for yall to just admire. I'm too crusty for that shit."

I was swaying on my feet, leaning heavily side to side, looking like I might fall to my side or on my face at any moment.

Starscream looked at Megatron and spoke in a suggesting tone, trying to persuade him to let him take me to my room. I wouldn't have minded anyway if Megatron even let Starscream let him take me to my room. Starscream wouldn't hurt me anyways since I'm basically his first friend since the start of the war. He must've been lonely as hell not gonna lie. Kinda sad to be honest.

"I volunteer to take them back to their quarters."

Megatron looked thoughtful for a moment before he gave a reluctant nod, secretly hesitant to let Starscream handle humans.

"You may guide them back to their room Starscream."

Starscream nodded and picked me up. When he did I went limp like a ragdoll, making a groaning noise as I felt like I was moving into the air too fast. I didn't say anything and I just silently swung in his grasp as he walked down the dark halls of the Nemesis.

When we got to my room my hands were thrown up in the air in an excited manner.

"Yay! My room!"

Starscream plopped me down heavily onto my end and I made an 'oof' sound before quickly kicking my shoes off and getting comfortable. I let out a pleased groan that sounded like an old man having the time of his life just trying to breathe. That didn't make any sense, but anyways…

Starscream just watched me as I fell asleep hella quick and just left. He had no idea I would act like that when I had little recharge. He also wondered what it was I was even doing on my little computer that would be making me stay up so late.

Some hours later I wake up, no clue on what happened prior and is majorly thirsting for some water like a dog on a hot summer day.

After getting some water in my system I begin to slowly remember what happened earlier. I only felt really amused and slightly concerned due to the fact that I just acted like a high teenager with no sense. I'm just gonna act like I don't remember it. I'll actually forget it eventually.

(present)

The next day when they called me up to the throne room I was appraised closely, watching just in case if I was going to act like how I did a day prior. I couldn't really judge them, but c'mon, it's uncomfortable when you're being watched closely by some war criminals that really shouldn't have brought you into their ship in the first place.

To be honest I wasn't at all phased by their weird appraising looks. I've been looked at like that before in school and at home, it kinda doesn't bother me as much as it did throughout the years.

I just went about my day answering questions from Megatron with some difficulty since the man likes to play mind tricks. Manipulative bitch.

I told him that I could be a valuable asset that they could use in any way, but I don't know what they expect from me since I'm still a kid. I won't be able to do anything for them due to my inexperience in this type of situation. How would I? I've technically lived a nice, relaxed life compared to this. I'd honestly think I've lived a life full of luxury compared to this.

Now then, let's get back to the fact that I was able to make Megatron a proposal to get me into a hacking gig. Let Soundwave train me and you got yourself an unsuspecting hacker. Yes or no? He gave me his approval and here I am. A training hacker.

Now let me tell you guys, Soundwave is not a lenient teacher. When he was given the job of teaching me to become a hacker he went full blast. He didn't take things slow so I could catch up, he just kept on going. He's harsh, but I learned to bullshit things better than most. It doesn't get me everywhere, but at least it gets some step in front of me.

These past few days were of me trying to get used to this tortuous pace, wanting to at least learn to keep up with Soundwave so that I could at least show that I'm a quick learner. Oowee! Child! I could not stress enough that I could NOT do that shit! If I couldn't do that shit in school I sure as hell won't be able to do it here.

I'm still working my ass off though. I want to be able to get this hacking ability acquired so that I'll at least have something crossed off my list. I want to be fully prepared for the future. I can't be entirely caught lackin' because if I do, this world will not hesitate to chew me up, spit me out, and stomp on me like I'm nothing but a useless flavored piece of gum. Random wording, but it works for this type of situation.

I know that there is this 'Main Character' energy that's there for some character. But not for me, so right now I'm doing homework that I absolutely Have do do or else I'll positively die in the future, so I'm not taking any chances. I'm taking the easiest route there is for me right now and even then, this isn't easy. At. All.

I'm literally losing sleep over the fact that I don't know if I'm going to die before the series even starts or if I'm going to die during the events of the series. I'm literally running on adrenaline every day due to my fear of my probably impending death. I'm getting hella dark and grim, but can you even blame me? Course ya can't.

Y'know what? I just realized that I have to finish this heart wrenching, eye bleeding, back pain worthy homework done before Soundwave comes in here and stares at me for the rest of the hour due to me not turning in my assignments at the due date.

His stares give me the creeps.

At least I'll be able to keep myself distracted from the fact that I'll have to deal with this shit for another five years before any of the real problems start.

[Sooo… I'm sorry that I didn't give you guys this chapter. I was busy and I had to do some shit. And yes I was busy on New Years and New Years Eve. I tried to make this a little longer than my usual, but I can't tell due to me writing this on my school computer and my phone]
