Only human

Chapter-12

It had been a week since Arcee had started school and Wheeljack had temporarily relocated to the base to serve as her temporary replacement. Bulkhead and Miko had been loving every minute of it. Miko loved hearing any of Wheeljack's old Wrecker stories or hearing about what he's been up to since they last saw him. Bulkhead was happy his old buddy around and to do some serious lobbing. This proved to be a problem for Ratchet as the flying metal ball broke three pieces of his equipment. By end the medic looked like he was about to literally blow a fuse, he then banned lobbing from the commanded room forcing them to use one of the large rooms in the lower levels of the base. That didn't bother them to much and they always laughed whenever Miko showed them the picture she managed to snap of the very angry look on Ratchets faceplate.

Wheelejack had also brought information, since they last saw him he had found several Decepticon energon mines. For the past week they had been scoping out some of there locations deciding which one to raid and how to do it. They were able to get the layout of the mines thanks to Raf who came up with the idea to attach a camera to his remote controlled car and sending it in to the mines, the Decepticons never even noticed it.

Arcee had adjusted to certain parts of school life more easily than others. The work she was given she could do quickly and without even trying, Arcee had to make it perfectly clear to Miko that she wouldn't do any of her homework for her. Something Arcee had noticed was that a lot of the boys would stare at her, she understood by human standards she was attractive but the staring did get annoying. Although there were times she noticed Jack would stare at her for a moment, instead of feeling annoyed it made her feel good because it meant Jack thought she was attractive.

Arcee was getting books from her locker when someone approached her "Hey Sadie" Arcee turned to see a boy she recognised from some of her classes.

"Hi, its Kevin right?" Arcee responded.

"Yeah, listen I'm having a little party tonight at my place, you interested?" Kevin asked.

Arcee thought about it for a moment, she'd never been to a human party before and the whole reason she was here was to learn about being human. But she had Jack with her every step of the way and she didn't feel like changing that. "Can I bring a guest?" Arcee asked.

"Sure" Kevin said "The more the merrier" he then gave her his address and the time the party started "See you tonight Sadie" Kevin said as he walked away.

A moment later Jack arrived "Hey Sadie" he used her cover name in case anyone overhear them "You ready for gym?

Arcee gave him a smile "Are ready for a party?"

The Gym
Everyone had changed into their gym clothes and were currently standing in a straight line. When Arcee had come out of the locker room Jack couldn't help but notice how her gym shorts showed off her legs. Luckily he stopped staring before Arcee noticed, now he trying take his mind off it by talking "So you excited about the party?" Jack asked.

"I actually am" Arcee replied. After she had told Jack about the party and that he was coming as her guest. Jack wasn't really interested, but he knew it would be good for Arcee and he wanted to keep an eye on her.

The Gym doors opened and a tall well built man in a tracksuit walked in, Coach Brown "Alright everyone get ready because today" he held up a red rubber ball "we're playing DODGE BALL!" he announced causing the class to groan. He then split the class into two teams "Remember Dodge ball only three rules; One, you get hit your out. Two, catch a thrown ball and the throwers out and someone from your team comes back on. And finally" Coach Brown's eyes narrowed "NO MERCY!" he shouted.

Once the whistle blew the game was on, dodge balls were flying as everyone tried not to get hit. Thanks to centuries of fire fights Arcee was able to dodge the balls with grace unlike the rest of her team including Jack who got hit in the side of his head. Soon Arcee was the only one left on her team against three jocks from the football team and they all had overconfident smirks on their faces.
