Ratchet finally lets me go from the base on Tuesday, I missed a week of school for a war that I can't really help
I end up going to school with Raf and Bee per request of Optimus. When we get there I rush out of Bee's auto mode and to the office after saying a quick bye.
I run up to the secretary and say," I have a doctor's note."
"Put it in the bin," the secretary says without looking up in a bored tone.
I sigh and put Ratchet's note in the bin then try to head out but the principal enters the office, looks at me and says," My office now."
I groan but follow the principal to his office where he sits behind the big desk with random belongings on the top of it.
"Where were you Ms. Smith?" The principal asks in a demanding way.
I groan and sit in the seat across from him and say," I was sick and had to stay under careful watch of my doctor. Very careful"
"Why is that?" Mr. Knowsie Knowerson asks me as if he has no ide.
I grit my teeth and answer hoping to jog his memory," Well for one I passed out at school, if you have forgotten that, plus I ended up throwing up my guts. Oh and not to mention I passed out twice at the doctors so yeah I think I would have to stay under observation."
"W-well, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, you can go to class now," principal whatever his name is says with shock lacing his voice.
I nod and get up to leave. I head out of the office and get a late slip from the secretary before rushing to my already late science class. Once I enter my class I hand the teacher the slip and sit in the only available seat, which is next to this orange haired boy with a cocky attitude.

After the teacher resumes class the boy next to me starts talking.
"Hey I'm Vince, if you didn't already know. Who are you beautiful?" Orange hair asks quietly as to avoid being scolded from the teacher.
"I'm the girl who's about to punch you in the face," I say in a hushed tone to him as I look at the teacher.
I hear him chuckle a bit before saying," Oh gorgeous, I like my girls feisty, it's ok no one has to know about us."
I raise my hand quickly and the teacher looks at me shocked before calling on me.
"May I switch seat, I can't see the board from here," I quickly lie.
The teacher nods before switching my seat with another person's. I mumble a sorry to the teacher as I sit down.
The class ended sooner than I thought it would and when the teacher called on me thinking I wasn't paying attention, which I wasn't, I answered her question. I exited the class room and maneuvered myself through the still filling hallways towards my next class, statistics.
I enter as the first student and walk up to the teacher.
"Ah where were you for the last week?" My nosey teacher asks.
I shrug and say," Under observation of my doctor."
"Um go take any seat you want," Mr Nosey says with a slight stutter.
If people will react like that I just might tell everyone just to see it I think to myself with a smile.
I hear the scraping of the chair next to me as someone moves it out.
"Hey Alex, how are you?" Jack asks as he sits next to me.
I sigh and rub my temples as Jack pulls in his chair," As good as I can be. The teachers here sure are annoying and meet a boy named Vince that is a flirt wasn't that good."

"Oh well a lot of the girls here think his is hot," Jack says with a smirk as he looks me in the eyes.
I sigh and say," I don't like him like that. He isn't my type."
"What is your type then?" Jack asks in a whisper as the teacher starts his lecture about something.
I ponder, what is my type, "I don't know," I say.
"I bet I know," Jack says in a hushed voice.
I look at him to see him looking at me with another smirk.
I roll my eyes and try to focus on the lecture but I can't seem to concentrate. I look at the clock and see that barely any time has passed. As time wains on the seconds feel like minutes and minutes like hours. Finally after what seems like forever class finally ends and I rush out of the room.
I practically run in the hallway to get to my next class. I rush into my classroom for English class and take a seat quickly and wait for the class to start. This is my last class before lunch then I have history, art studio, and programing.
I sigh as I make myself as comfortable as I can on the stiff wooden seats that are connected to the desks. I listen to the annoying teacher drone on and on about how you can't use pronouns such as 'I' and 'you' in essays.
I roll my eyes and soon the bell rings, I stand up stretch while gathering my stuff and heading toward the cafeteria. I pull out some five dollar bills and get into the lunch line. I buy a piece pizza and a water bottle. I pay quickly and go to the café to meet up with Raf, Miko, and Jack.
I see a hand waving, I look along the arm and see Raf standing on the end of the arm and go to walk to the table. However I'm stopped by none other than mister orange hair.
"Hey ya babe. When are we going on our first date?" Vince asks me after putting his arm around my shoulders.
I shrug it off and say," Never."
"Why are you rejecting me?!" Vince yells at me as I start to walk away.
Everything stops and most girls are glaring at me while everyone else is waiting for me to say something.
I turn to face Vince and sigh," Not that it is any of your business I have a um a boyfriend."
"Cheating is an option," Vince says with a growl.
I raise an eyebrow," And you take me as a cheater, no way. You have most of the girls here wrapped around your finger so just choose one of them." I say and head over to Raf's table.
"Who are you dating?" Vince calls.
I look at the table with pleading eyes.
"She's dating me!" Jack says, I send him a thanks for the help look.
"Fine!" Vince shouts and walks away. I sit down and we start gossiping.
