Chapter 1

Optimus P.O.V

First day of High School; I'm now a senior. Man how the years go by. I walked to the front to meet up with my friends.

Megatronus and Magnus; they both smiled as I walked to them.

"You're late" said Magnus

"Like always" said Megatronus

"Well…I have to walk here guys…" I said "I get to walk slowly to school"

Magnus smirked "Of course"

"You know me" I said

"Yes…always late…" said Megatronus "Now that you're a senior, you can be late all you want"

"Not really…" I said "Only in the mornings"

The bell rings and it's time for classes. We all went to our lockers; and put our stuff in there. I tried to arrange some binders and folders.

Everybody went to their classes and I stayed at my locker. I got my stuff in and I walked to my first class.

I'm late; the bell is about to ring. I walked faster and I turned around and bump into somebody. I stumbled back and the person fell down.

I shook my head "I'm so sorry"

"It's okay" she said

I stared; I was speechless, she looks beautiful.

"I…I'm sorry" I said

"Its fine…" she smiled

I helped her up; and picked up her stuff. I handed it to her. I have never seen her around.

"Umm I'm Optimus" I said

"Arcee…" she answered

"Are from here?" I asked

"No…I just moved here" said Arcee

"Oh…so this is the first time"

"Yes…"

"Oh well…hope you like it here" I said

"Thanks…so far so good" she said

"All right I'll see you later"

"Sure"

I nodded and walked off but was stopped by her.

"Umm…I'm kind of lost too" she said "Can you show me where this class is?"

"Oh…I'm going there" I said

"Oh…"

"Come on…let's go" I said

We walked to the class. I showed some rooms as we passed through them. I told her where the band hall is; cafeteria; library, and gym.

"What brings you here?" I asked

"Umm…my other school was too rough for me"

"Oh…"

"Yeah...and also my dad got a job here…we had to move"

"Oh…well it must be hard"

"Yes it is" she said "How about you…?"

"Oh…I've been here since I was little" I said "I never went anywhere else"

"That's good…I wanted to do that…but stuff happens and it changes everything" she said

"Well…it's good to change…" I said "You will see greatness when you look around when it changes"

She smiles. I smirked and we stopped at the door.

"Here it is" I said "The science lab"

I opened the door. Everyone stared at us; and I just smiled.

"You're late" said the Professor

"Oh…I was showing her around and I helped her here" I said

"Sit down Optimus" he said

I nodded and Arcee followed but was stop.

"You Ms…" he said "Stand up here"

She nods and stands in front of the class.

"I'm Professor Trion" he said "Why…don't you introduce yourself"

"I…I'm Arcee" she said "I'm the far west"

"Well…now in the south mm…" he said "What brings you here?"

"My dad works and he got a job here" she said

"Ok…well take a seat next to Optimus…you guys are going to be partners from now on" he said

Arcee nodded and walked to the desk and sat down. I smiled and she just smiled weakly. She placed her stuff down and looked up.

"Alright class first day of school" he said

I just looked at him; learning what we are going to do.
