"Oh my god, I can't believe you didn't wake me up Slipstream!" It was a big morning for me and my roommate Slipstream(Who is a Decepticon since entering middle school) "I am sorry. Megatron called me last night and I was tired" She showed me the message Megatron sent her, and I was a bit mad with both of them. "I was ok with Starscream dating you, but now you are having an affair with Megatron?! You are lucky I don't tell him about it!" She started panicking because we both know Starscream is quite unpredictable and has some problems.


I went downstairs to notice Soundwave actually in OUR house making OUR lunches. "Soundwave, did you do all this?" I asked him with a bit of shock. He said it looked like a mess before he cleaned up last night after he nodded to my question. "Thanks man. I guess I owe you now." He declined saying he does it because it is the right thing to do and I was actually fine with that.


We walked to the school only to find Starscream fighting with Arcee. "What in the name of Nexus Prime are you two fighting about?" They both stopped fighting and Starscream began explaining "Arcee just attacked me out of nowhere because I 'dated' her sister, yet she didn't know I never had that intentions" I actually agreed with him on that, even though we hardly agree with each other much. Arcee cut me off and tried to hit me because I agreed with him. She attempted to hit me with her Arm Blades already unsheathed, but I sheathed a sword right out of my right arm to block it. Then I unsheathed my Left Arm Sword to stagger her with a lunge and put my blade near her face. "Stand down Arcee. I don't know what's gotten into you, but don't think I'm gonna take this further. You know the penalty for attacking me." She yielded and I helped her up. "Next time I find you attacking someone on school grounds again, I will not hesitate." She gulped and ran to the school. "Jeez Trey, did you really have to threaten her like that? I get it isn't a death threat, but you are way above that ever since you came to me." Slipstream did make a point there. "You're right. Oh shit, we're gonna be late! We need to go, like right now!"


Luckily Slipstream managed to try and talk to Arcee when she saw her and I explained the problem to Endymion when I got to his office. Bad thing was that Arcee got suspended for harming a student on school property for personal reasons. I felt guilty for that while walking straight to the student council room. Swindle was there checking prices for recent bills. "Still counting bills, Swindle?" He jumped because I scared him. "Kinda, since we need to work on a fundraiser in order to reach our sponsors since we are 21,000 Aetheri behind." I was shocked we weren't that close to buying a sponsor. "Where is Shinomiya?" He told me she had to file the report for Arcee's suspension.



"She should be back by now" Just as he finished his sentence, Shinomiya who is the Vice President of the Student council had just entered. Swindle and I are both greeted by Shinomiya. I was the student council president. "Shinomiya, how did the report go?" She did not say anything as she looked upset. She despises students getting suspended for stupid reasons and she really despises it when it is a friend of hers that it affects.


I did not talk to her for the rest of the day, knowing that if I said something about it Shinomiya would just stay broken and antisocial. It was time that I was gonna go to Science class and meet with Shockwave. "Shockwave, what did I miss?" He passed me a book with a bookmark he had ready for me in case I was late. Shockwave was my Science partner and always loves science, no matter what project it was.


We went through all the class stuff then I ran ahead to Gym where I would be teamed with Megatron a LOT! This time was different, because the coach decided to try Hockey. "For this sport, I will call out your names and who you will be teams with." I was on the 2nd team anyway. He chose Dreadwing and Ultra Magnus for my team, and that means I had 2 extra strategists to work with. And I thought that it would be different, but it was because Optimus AND Megatron were also on my team. We chose Megatron to be on the offense, which was a bad idea. "Alright guys, this has to be a clean game. We cannot have any accidents for this sport. I am talking straight to YOU Megatron!" He was startled because I was never this straight with him. "Fine, but as long we trust each other and not be despising each other we will be ok, and I am talking about you Dreadwing."


It was Lunch and Slipstream came to my table. I asked of her grades but got interrupted by Astraea as she came right behind me. "Nice to see you too, Astra." I have been dating Astraea since an alley incident after I stood up for her, and for the whole time she let me call her Astra. "Trey, it has been 2 months and you haven't given me a call? Rude to leave a woman hanging." I couldn't help myself to her joke, and tried as hard I can to hold it in. "You may be serious Astra, but that was seriously funny." She also started laughing because she caught on to me.

After lunch I had to go learn Alternative Rock during my Music class with Ms. Gradielle. "Your tuning is ok, but you know I am not a fan of Alternative even though I am into frontwomen of Rock Bands." She isn't wrong. "I understand that, and I will do my best to keep my Music under control." She didn't like what I said. "Trey, I didn't mean it like that. It doesn't bother me that much and I am wanting to try it out!" I felt at ease after. "I am actually pleased you got that off your chest. Ya can't stay a steady Pianist if you have some weight on your back." I always did my best to help my Music teacher with her problems so she can be a better musician.


My final class was Horticulture and it was a really stressful class. My teacher was actually an Aromage. She went by Lavender. Funny enough, I was working with Knock Out for the day since Breakdown didn't show, and Knock Out enjoyed thing that wouldn't mess with his finish. "Knock Out, you do know you chose to work with Aromatherapy Plants". He was surprised I brought it up. "Yeah? And? I don't have Breakdown working with me today. Do you really have a problem with that?" I told him I did not, but I told him he had oils on his arm. "Stop giving me a hard time. Only Starscream can bug me about that."


It was after school. "Trey, come on!" Next thing I notice is Astra grabbing me by the arm to the cafe. She ordered an Energon Shake while I just went with Chocolate. 2 minutes after we were having a conversation, a black purple and red Decepticon came and asked to sit with us. "I'm Flamewar. I am really sorry about what my sister did to you." I stopped and I knew for some reason, she is Arcee's sister. Her design, her personality, but I wondered if they both have the same vehicle mode. "So you knew Arcee got suspended? Are you her older or younger sister?" I had a feeling I wouldn't like the answer I got. "I am her younger twin, in case you never knew." That is when Astra explained that she saw that Flamewar was actually upset after Starscream broke up with her. "You are Starscream's ex!?"


My fist is curled in real tight, and I had an Angry vibe as I walked out to talk to Slipstream. "Slipstream, do you have a moment?" I told her about Flamewar, and she replied saying she was her friend. "Were you aware Starscream first dated Flamewar?" She replied telling what she knew. "I started dating Starscream because Flamewar was heartbroken and so I wanted to get close to them and hear the whole story." It wasn't until Starscream came by. "Starscream, we need to talk right now." Him and I talked and I heard how Flamewar cheated on him with Cyclonus. "Cyclonus did have troubles, and I think he is dating her so he can move on after his trauma." Starscream questioned why. "When Cyclonus was still in middle school, about 5 months ago his original love Paragon was in an accident which actually extinguished her Spark. Because of that, Flamewar wanted to date him, but he couldn't as he fears she would get hurt like Paragon. And so, he waited until you broke up with her, and that's when you 2 started dating." As soon as I finished, Starscream for the first time actually, showed a strong emotion: Sadness. Slipstream came by to comfort him, and my Angry vibe was off.


I knew what I had to do next: Explain everything to Arcee next time we both lock gears. But before I could, I went straight home to be ready for when I met Arcee again. I was not going to let one Autobot stop me ever!
