Forbidden Love

Chapter 11

The bell rang. This was my last class today. Optimus will be picking me up a little earlier, he needs to check an energon mine and he said he could use my help. I still had my dreams about them, but I felr better that I can talk about it to someone.

I said goodbye to Raf, Jack, and Miko, since I won't be seeing them in atleast an hour. That's when the others usually pick them up.

I grabbed my stuff from the locker before walking outside. Optimus is parked in a different spot, since it was earlier than usual. I walked towards the street where Optimus says he's in, but I felt someone following me. And by the footsteps, it can only be Vince.

"Hey flower" he called. That's what he usually calls me. "Don't call me that!" I hissed at him. "You walking home? But don't you live on the other side of school?" he asked. "And if so? What are you gonna do? Drive me home?".

"I would gladly do so" he replied. I groaned and rolled my eyes. Optimus's semi was just a few meters away. "So what do you say? I've got the hottest car in town anyway" Vince said proudly. I had just arrived at Optimus's door and turned to look at him. "Hottest car in town? Well I think this red and blue semi, is the hottest thing around" I said with a smirk. I wanted to say world, or space. But that would kinda make it suspicious.

I hopped on Optimus, but Vince stayed outside. For some reason I felt Optimus's cab heat up. I want to ask him if he was alright, but Vince was still there.

"This thing is yours?!" He asked, surprised. "What do you think?" I replied in a 'duh' tone. "Well, sorry hotshot, gotta go" I winked at him before pretending to hit the pedal and we drove away from that annoying Vince.

Optimus's cab was still a little warmer than usual. "Optimus are you alright?" I asked him. "Uh- I am fine. Why do you ask?" He replied slightly stuttering. Something weird is going on... "Well, you're stuttering, and the cab is warmer than usual" I replied honestly. "Oh sorry" He said before the temperature gets back to normal. "Seriously Optimus, is everything ok?" I asked him again. "I-I'm fine. Just tired, I guess" He replied hesitantly. I knew he was hiding something, but tired he sure was. I smiled a little and chuckled. "How about we have a little drive tonight? Clear your head a little" I suggested. There was some silence before he replied, "You're right, I need a little break. Tonight. After we check out the mine". I let a soft smile form before he drove into the base.

The ground bridge was already open, and he drove through it right away. We got out at a mine. It looks like the Decepticons have finished mining the energon here.

Optimus transformed and he used a detector to find any leftover energon. We ended up with few small handfulls of energon. Cybertronian handfulls. So it was quite plenty.

We delivered the energon back before heading outside for a little drive. We drove under the moonlight on the edges of the cliff. Before stopping and sat down near the edge. Optimus did the same.

We sat in comfortable silence, just watching the stars, the moon, the sky. It was so clear we can see the galaxy from here.
"So, who was that guy back there?" Optimus suddenly asked. "Vince. Jack's bully, and someone who is always chasing me" I replied. "Chasing you?" he asked again, not fully understanding what I meant. "I meant chase my.. Uh-Win over my heart. Never gonna happen" I smirked.

"Why is that?"
I hesitated to reply, but I did find one answer I could say. "Because, he's an idiot, and someone else has won it over".
"Who is he?"
Why is he asking these questions? What's going on? "I'm afraid he won't feel the same" I replied. I'm trying my best to not ask why he's asking this, but there would be a time I have to.

"Why wouldn't he feel the same for such an amazing human?".
Oh primus... I felt a blush creep in my cheeks. He said that? To someone like me? Wow... I mean, maybe I had a chance, but we're a whole different species from two different planets seperated by light years of space. And who knows how old he is. Wait... I should ask him that later.
