Cyberhigh. A school for Autobots and Decepticons, oh and mercenaries too, but it would be a surprise if they actually came to school.

Hi.My name is Optimus Prime. I am the leader of a faction at our school called The Autobots. I am Student Council President. I am also usually the one who tours new students around our campus. I live a life of constant pressure.

But this is not about me. I will not be telling this story. But you will see more of me. And this is How I United our School.

Cyberhigh High School for Transformers,7 am, cafeteria.

"OPTIMUS!"Someone Yelled. The Person in Question had blonde hair with black tips."Hey Bumblebee,"Optimus said."Are you going to the Student Council Meeting?" He asked."Bumblebee," he started."I'm the president. I have to."Optimus Responded."The Student Council sounds so boring."Bumblebee meekly Responded."It's not. I have to go, or I'll be late to it."Optimus Said, Picking Up his Red Backpack.after he Left, one of the Decepticons with an eyepatch approached. Her name was Shadowstriker."Hello Bumblebee."Shadowstriker Said Menacingly."I don't have
anything,Shadowstriker."Bumblebee Responded.Shadowstriker had been tormenting Bee in various ways since Freshman Year, when one of the Labs they did in Biology failed Terribly, and was the reason she wore an Eyepatch"Too bad. Guess it will be you and me after school again."She replied."It better not Be.or it might not be a fair fight."Someone responded behind her. He had Red Hair, a Letterman Jacket in Red and Yellow, and Had a Soccer Ball Under His Arm."Ugh. Hot Rod."She Groaned.She Left."Sorry, I'm late. I had soccer practice."Hot Rod Responded."Where is everyone?"He asked, noticing his friend's absence."Op is at Student Council, Windblade isn't here today."Bumblebee Responded."Oh."Hot rod Responded."Do you ever think we will,," The Bell Rang Before Hot Rod could finish his sentence."I Got History. I'll see you later."Hot Rod Said as he Left."See Ya."

First Period English..

"Hey, Optimus."Bumblebee said as he sat next to his friend."Hey." He replied. Bumblebee knew that remark.it meant he had a Not so Productive Student Council Meeting."You really got Step Up to them."Bumblebee said."Huh?"Optimus Replied."The Student Council. You gotta advocate for yourself. Help them stay on Task.let them know that you are in charge."Bumblebee Said.Optimus Nodded.

Then He Came In.Autobots and Decepticons were usually in the same class. Luckily, they only had one Class with Megatron.

Freshman year..

Bumblebee was a new student to the school. He was told to go to the library for the day. He would get a tour at the end of the day. He spent the day memorizing his schedule and reading. Then, at the end of the day, two people came in."Hello, Bumblebee, correct?"One of them said."Yes."He Had Responded."Us two will be your guide.My name is Optimus Prime, and this is Megatron, my boyfriend."Optimus Had Said.Him and Megatron walked him around the school. He had blown up Shadowstriker's eye the third time he was there.Then came the Division. Optimus and Megatron's Breakup is what caused it.

The way Optimus looked at him told him he wasn't the one at fault. Optimus looked at Megatron the Way, and an Abused Puppy would look at their owner. He wanted Megatron to change, but he also knew he never would. Luckily, Megatron sat in the front of the class, whereas they sat in the middle of the class.

"Where is Mr.Trion..?"Bumblebee asked Optimus."I don't know."Optimus Responded. Then their English teacher, Alpha Trion, burst through the door."I apologize for my tardiness. I forgot something at home on the way here."Trion said as he entered. This wasn't the first time this had happened. For an English teacher, Trion was very unorganized, and it was very easy to forget something. He was an older man, looking about his late 50s or early 60s. He had a Long Beard as well. That led some students *cough* Decepticons*cough* to call him Alpha Longbeard, or Neckbeard. It depends on the day.

"Now, Your Assignment Today is..Wait..Hm..What is it again..?"Alpha Trion said."We didn't have an assignment today."A guy in the back responded. He had a red and white jacket on,Had Black Hair,a blue T-shirt under the jacket, and boots that matched his shirt. Starscream. Starscream liked to take advantage of when he could."Oh?We didn't?"Alpha Trion Replied.Optimus Interrupted."We did. We are supposed to read the next two chapters of Macbeth on our own."Optimus stated."Oh,yes, that's it, thanks, Optimus."Alpha Trion said as he sat down at his desk.

Optimus Pulled His Copy of the book out of his Backpack.Bumblebee grudgingly did the same. He could feel Starscream's Resentment." You really put Screamer in his place there."Bumblebee said."It was the right thing to do."Optimus Responded.

After what felt like forever for Bumblebee,The Bell Rang.Second Period.He Had Environmental Science next.him and Optimus had every class together, so usually they walked to them together."Ugh..Shadowstriker is in my next period.."Bumblebee complained."Do not worry.I have your back."Optimus responded as they entered.Their teacher for this class was Onyx Prime. Onyx was one of the nicest teachers."Good Morning,You Two."He said.Onyx had a deep voice, like an Animal's Growl."Morning,Mr. Onyx."They replied in Unison.They Sat Down, they were the first one there. They watched as people came in.First,Hot Rod, Then Starscream,Than Shadowstriker. And as usual, a man with blue and white headphones,an outfit that matched said headphones,a Face Mask, and Brown Hair came in, as well as someone with Purple Hair, a Prosthetic arm, an Eye Patch,a Purple tank top and Purple Striped Pants that were completed by black combat boots came in. Soundwave and Shockwave.

Nothing ever really happens in this period. Shadowstriker Glares at Bee the whole period, but that's really it. The only guys who were really good at this class were aspiring scientists like Shockwave. Bee was ok at it, just struggled a bit with it.Luckily, their teacher was nice enough to help if they didn't understand.

And the class went by fast. You sit down, and before you know it, the class is over.

The rest of the day went by fast till lunch.

At lunch,everyone forgets Autobot and Decepticon. the one time they do. Autobots sit with Autobots,Decepticons sit with Decepticons,Autobots sit with Decepticons, Decepticons sit with Autobots.

The cafeteria has 3 layers to it, in a circle. The first layer has 7 tables around it.

Table 1 of that Layer is Where Megatron,Starscream,Soundwave, and Shockwave sit.Table 2 is where acid storm,Thundercracker and Slipstream sit.Table 3, Ratchet,Percy, And Wheeljack Table 4 is the Mercenaries Table..Empty as usual. Table 5, on the Other side of the stairs, is Where Skybyte,Clobber, and Lockdown Sit. Table 6 is where Jetfire and Grimlock Sit, and then Table 7. No one sits there.

The second layer has 5 tables, and only two are occupied, Table 4 and 5. The Monsterbots. Affoulus and His Crew sit at Table 4, Repugnus, and the others at Table 5.

And then the Bottom Layer. It has 3 tables filled, but about 10 tables put together in 3 rows.Optimus, Hot Rod, Bee, and Windblade Sit at one. Shadowstriker sits at the 3rd table, with some of the other female Autobots. And then Prowl,Jazz,Cliffjumper, and Grapple sit at the other.

"Hey Roddy.How was history?"Bumblebee said as He sat down at their table."It was History.Thundercracker made a comment of "Why is there a Crockpot in the Hallway?" Hot Rod Said."..what."Bee replied."dumb, I know." Hot Rod Replied."Hey, you two."Optimus said as he sat down."Hey,Optimus!" Hot Rod Said. Optimus replied with a "Hmm."We have a new student."Optimus said after a minute.

"Been a While Since we had one of those."Bee Said."Yeah, you."Hot Rod Replied."Oh be Quiet."Bee replied.``It's a Guy. His Name is Blurr.i saw him in the library earlier."Optimus said."Hm, Blurr. Sounds like he's one of those who thinks he is ahead of everyone else."Bumblebee said."Nah, he seems to get along better with Principal Primus than Secretary Unicron."Optimus Replied.

"Blurr,Huh? Wonder how long he will last." Hot Rod Replied.

Chapter Text

After lunch, all classes went by fast. Hot Rod had practice after school, and Bumblebee usually came and watched. The Coach Was Named Megatronus. He was a tempered individual. But not today, apparently.Optimus came up to him in the hallway.”Hey, Bee. I need your help,”He said.”Sure What is it?”Bee replied.”I don't like taking new kids around alone.. can you come with me and take Blurr Around?”Optimus asked Cheekily.”Yeah,Sure. I want to meet this Blurr Guy.”Bee replied.”Thank you so much!”Optimus replied, dragging him to the library.

In the Library.

“Hello,Quintus Sir.”Bumblebee said.Quintus was the librarian.”Bumblebee.”He replied, turning to Optimus.”You Here for the New Kid?”He asked.”Yes,Sir.”Optimus Responded.
“Over there.” Quintus Prime said, pointing to a kid in the back.

Blurr Had Brown,Swoopy Hair, with teal highlights,as well as a Blue Jacket, Teal Pants and Shirt, Blue Ankle High Boots, and a necklike a Tire. Blurr sure liked Blue and Teal. Bumblebee and Optimus went over to him.``Hello there. I am Optimus Prime, and this is Bumblebee. We are your-”Optimus said”My Tour Guides, Yeah, Yeah, I know.''Blurr Said.Optimus and Bumblebee looked at each other.

“Ok, let's start the Tour then.” Bumblebee said.

After the Tour, Optimus went home, and so did Blurr. Bumblebee wondered if Hot Rod was still at practice. 5:30. He was probably out now. He pulled out his phone and called Hot Rod. He could hear him on the other side.”Hey Rodsie. Is Coach Megatronus done putting you through misery?” He heard Hot Rod Laugh.”Yeah. Luckily.”He replied.”Good.sorry I wasn't there. You know how Op is about touring people alone.”Bee replied.”Yeah..”Hot Rod Replied.”Let's see how long he wants to be here before he transfers to AfterHigh.”Hot Rod Replied.”Yeah.i gotta go. Bye.”Bee replied.”Bye.”Hot Rod Replied.

Optimus’s House.

“Hey, look who it is.” His Mom said.”Hi,Mom.”Optimus said.”You're late.”She said.”I was touring another student.” Optimus replied.”Oh,New Student, Huh?” She said, Optimus Nodded.”I'm going to My room.” He replied.

Optimus's Bedroom looked like that of any “Perfect” Student.
He lied down on his bed. He wished that someone knew what it was like to be in his shoes. He was expected to carry everything. And he couldn't say no.

He fell asleep after that.

Meanwhile, with Hot Rod.

“Oh..That was a close one.”Hot Rod Said, After Hanging Up. Hot Rod wasn't supposed to be with Him. Not a Decepticon. But hanging out with him was Enjoyable.He cared about Soundwave.”You did well there.”Soundwave Replied.Hot Rod Nodded. Soundwave leaned into him.Hot Rod Turned His Head.”Why are you doing this. Why are you rejecting me.You want peace, don't you? We could bring that and be happy together.”Soundwave said.”No.it's infidelity. You are Dating Megatron.”Hot Rod Replied. Soundwave backed up, got up, and left after that. Hot Rod Sighed. He knew Soundwave loved him. But he didn't want to be a part of an affair. Because Megatron would Come After Him..though he was one to talk of infidelity.

He didn't know why Soundwave was with Him. He guessed just to Hurt Optimus more than he already had.

Hot Rod Lied Down, and Drifted Into Sleep.

With Bumblebee..

Bumblebee went straight home. He had to figure out what was going on with Hot Rod. He pretended he wasn't suspicious with how quiet Hot Rod was when he called him earlier, but he was. Then He Spotted Shadowstriker.Outside his House.“Scrap.” Bee muttered to himself. Then she Huffed Off,obviously mad he wasn't home. After she left, he went up to the door. His mom,at the door, said.”Friend Of Yours?” Bee huffed.”More Like Arch-Nemesis.” Bumblebee replied.”if you're being bullied-”His Mom started. "I'm fine.” Bumblebee said as he headed upstairs to his room.

He took everything with Hot Rod recently into account as he tried to get to sleep. The semi quietness, the spacing out, the weird amount of Staring at Soundwave..Soundwave. Was that it? “What could Soundwave want with Roddy..?” He asked Himself. Or did Hot Rod want Soundwave? Soundwave was dating Megatron, who Previously Dated Optimus..And Soundwave was called A “Homewrecker” because of that. Even though Soundwave wasn't the one Megatron Kissed In Front Of Optimus.

Soundwave could Hurt Hot Rod. Bee had to make sure they didn't end up together.

Meanwhile, with Soundwave..

“Stupid,Stupid,STUPID! He's an Autobot of Course. He won't want to date you when you are dating someone else.”Soundwave muttered to himself as he went home.
He was going to break up with Megatron.
Soundwave Lived By Himself. His parents had been Murdered when He was 10,and he was self-sufficient enough. As he opened the door, He found Megatron waiting.”Megatron. Just who I wanted to see. Broke in,again?”Soundwave stated.”Yep. Why did you want to see me?”Megatron asked.

“I'm Breaking Up With You.” Soundwave said.
“WHAT?!! YOU CANNOT!”Megatron yelled.”I can, and I am! You are nothing but a toxic Afthole, and I'm tired of being called a Homewrecker because you got with me right after Breaking Up With Optimus!”Soundwave Yelled.”Oh,Darling, is that why? Do you feel inferior to Optimus..? You are not. You are superior to him in every way.”Megatron said, caressing his cheek. Soundwave almost fell for it.”no.” He replied.

“I love Hot Rod. And you are in my way of being with whom I truly love and want to be with.``Soundwave admitted, honest and true. He loved Hot Rod and was willing to take the steps to achieve Him. Megatron looked stunned. Then Pissed. He then shoved Soundwave and left, slamming the Door Behind Him. But then he saw Megatron smile.

Soundwave went to bed after that.

He wasn't going to sit with Megatron anymore.

With Shadowstriker..

Shadowstriker liked to avoid her house as much as possible. Her house was toxic. And she put it on other people. They didn't know what she went through. Well, she trusted Soundwave, but that was about it. He had it worse. His parents were 6 feet underground. Sometimes, she wouldn't even go home till 1 in the morning. She would fall asleep in the park or something until the early morning. Sometimes, She wouldn't even go home.

Both Her Parents were Abusive. There have been instances where they almost killed her. Like after she got her eye blown up.

With Megatron..
Megatron didn't really have a home. He did stay with Soundwave, but now that Soundwave had broken up with him, he had nowhere to go.

He hated that pesky little Red Headed Autobot.
