Only human

Chapter-11

Jack, June and Arcee sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast preparing for the day. June's shift at the hospital didn't start as early today so they were all able to have breakfast together.

"So Arcee" June started "Are you excited for your first day of high school?"

Arcee looked up from her bacon and eggs "I don't know if I'd use the word excited" she said taking a bite of bacon "I've been fighting a war for hundreds of years and now I'm going to a high school. I honestly don't know how I'm supposed to do this" she said.

"Its gonna be fine Arcee" Jack spoke up "Your not going in alone, you'll have me, Raf and Miko to back you up. I won't let anything bad happen to you, I promise" he said sincerely.

Arcee smiled at him "Thanks Jack" she looked down "are you gonna eat your bacon?"

This caused Jack to laugh "Help yourself" he'd had enough anyway so he pushed his plate to Arcee who gladly took the remaining bacon.

When breakfast was over Arcee went to get her stuff for school, June was about to leave for the hospital when she spoke "Jack" getting her son's attention "You really need to look out for Arcee today. I know this is to help her learn what its like to be human, but I don't know if Arcee is ready for high school" the Nurse said with some worry in her voice.

"I think the real question is, Is high school ready for Arcee" he joked "Look Mom Arcee is in the same classes I am so I'll be able to keep an eye on her and if I'm not with her Miko and Raf will be there" he assured his Mother.

June seemed to relax a little at that "Alright, have good day" she gave him a quick hug, she then grabbed her bag, headed to the garage and drove towards the hospital.

A few minutes later Arcee came out carry her back pack "Ready?" Jack asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be" she said.

A few minutes later a car horn announced the arrival of Bulkhead and Miko, once they were in and buckled up Bulkhead headed for the school. On the way Miko spoke up "So Arcee, will you be kicking Vince's but again today" she asked hopefully. Yesterday there was a rumour going around the school that Vince got his but kicked by some mystery girl and Miko had feeling she knew who. When she asked Jacked and he told her about the what happened at the mall the previous day, Miko had been happy that Vince got what was coming to him and mad that she had missed it.

"I don't know Miko" Arcee said, then thought for a second "Only if he tries something".

Miko smiled at that "Well that shouldn't take long".

They shortly arrived at the school and met up with Raf, after saying goodbye to Bulkhead and Bumble Bee they headed inside "Okay the first thing you need to do is go see the principal to sort out your details" Jack said.

"Don't worry Arcee" Raf spoke up "Principle Williams is a nice guy, you won't have any problems" he assured her.

"Okay I'll see you two later" Arcee said goodbye as Raf and Miko went to their separate classes. She turned to Jack "So wheres the Principle?" she asked.

Jack pointed down the hallway "Straight down the hall, it's the door with Principle Office on the door" he said. Jack put a hand on her shoulder "See you in class" and headed to his first class.

Arcee approached the door and gave it a small knock "Come in" a voice answered, Arcee opened the door and entered the office. Sitting behind a desk was a man in his forties wearing a suit with glasses, black hair and beard.

"Hi" Arcee said "I'm Sadie Smith".

The Principle smiled warmly "Ah Ms Smith, please come in" he said. Arcee walked in and sat in the chair in front of the desk. "I'm Principle Williams, first off let me be the first to welcome you to Memorial High School".
