Solar POV.
I walked up the school stairs with Wavelength. He ended up jumping out his window this morning, mostly to spite Magness. We idly chatted while waiting for the seekers. I think Skywarp ended up needing help with something.
"So? Why up so late last night? That book again?" Wavelength lazily nudged my arm.
"No. Not this time. Carrier is getting nervous about something at the hospital." I admit.
"Again?"
"Yeah. Apparently it's getting worse."
Wavelength shifted his weight. It wasn't often Carrier got nervous.
"How is Prime taking it?"
"He's getting just as nervous. I don't think either of them are voicing just how bad it's actually getting though..." I sigh.
"And you're still eased dropping huh?"
"Yep."
"Do they know?"
"Not yet."
"Ah."
Wavelength and I spotted the seekers landing from their morning flight. Every morning they liked waking up early and going over flight formations. Sometimes with their Sire and Uncle. You can take the seeker out of boot camp, but you can't take the boot camp out of the seeker. The three raced up to us pushing and shoving each other.
"Good morning you three!" Wavelength greets them smiling.
"Morning!" Flare smiles while trying to shoulder down his brother.
Good luck friend.
"Did Solar give you all the plan?" Wavelength motions us to a more private corner of the school halls.
"Yep. During lunch rush. Slip from the crowd and find a place in the main hall to hide out till all the hall monitors leave. Only communicate through the com links. After we're in the clear, book it!" Siege repeats back to everyone.
"Bingo!" Flare pumped his servo.
The five of us quickly disperse. The trin first, then Wavelength, then myself; each a few minutes apart. What? We didn't need to be caught. Again... I quickly made my way to my first period before the bell rang. This morning was going to be a long one...
*time skip*
The second lunch bell rang. Time for action! The lunch crowd started making their way to class, each bot trying to be louder than the other. It was infuriating. No wonder Carrier enjoys a quiet workspace. Other bots are annoying. I slipped into an empty hallway and behind some lockers. Not the planet's best hiding place. But if any teacher came by I can easily say I was worried I lost a notepad or something and act like I'm checking my bag.
:Hey? All clear at your position?: Flare commed me.
:No not yet. Still a few students around the lockers. I'm at the East Iacon Hall. You?:
:North Kaon Hall. In an empty classroom.:
:Behind some lockers. Do you know where anyone else is?:
:I'm in South Vos Hallway. Also behind some lockers as well.: - Wavelength
:Shadows again?: - Flare
:Works every time.: - Wavelength
:Can't argue with that Logic. East Nickel Hall.:
- Siege
:Up in the ceiling. Main Hall.: - Eclipse
:Teleporting has its perks.: -Myself
:East Nickel Hall is all clear.: -Siege
:So is South Vos Hallway. North Kaon Hall I think you have a few students.: - Wavelength
"Yeah. Hall monitor coming my way!: - Flare
:After that we should be good to go?: - Siege
:Yep. Not a single bot in the Main Hall: -Eclipse
:All clear!: - Flare.
We watch quietly as the hall monitor leads the stray students back to class. Flare slips into the Main Hall just as Siege, Eclipse and Wavelength do the same. I move to join them before my ped hits someone and I almost trip. A tiny gasp grabs my attention. Oh no. I look down to find a young femme looking shocked. Did she not see me?
"Um? Hello?" I say just above a whisper.
The young femme quickly looks up. She couldn't be more than 12! Maybe close to 13! So what was she doing in high school?
*Hello. Do you know what hallway I'm in?*
... Did she just sign? Yes. Yes, she did...
"Um. East Iacon Hall." I answer.
*Oh! It appears I'm lost then. Could you guide me to my class?*
"I- I'm sorry. I have to get going..."
:Solar where are you? You said your hallway was clear?: - Siege
:It was till this kid bumped into me. She's mute and lost. She thinks she goes to our... Oh.:
- Myself
:Wait! You think that's the new kid Carrier was up in arms about?: - Wavelength
:Probably.: - Myself
"So, what are you doing here?" I whisper.
*I go to school here now! I'm top of my grade and extremely gifted! At least that's what all the teachers say. I just think the classes are to easy.*
"Ah. I see."
*Where were you going?*
"Uuum..."
Ok. What was I supposed to say? Hey 12-year-old kid me and my friends are skipping class for the hundredth time but don't tell anyone!
*Sneaking out of school?*
Oh slag. She's clever.
"Well, yes. But you can't tell anyone!!" I beg the much younger femme.
*Why should I? I don't very much like any of the teachers here.*
"Neither do I." I shift slightly. "Wanna join us?"
*Pardon?*
"Well you agree that the teachers suck. Plus you can meet my friends?" I offer.
The tiny femme thinks it over.
*Sure!*
:Guys! We have a tag-along!: - Myself.
:What-: - Siege.
:Well I'm not just gonna leave this kid on her own. She's coming with us!: - Myself.
:Fine by me. Let's just get out of here before someone catches us.: - Wavelength.
I take the femmes servo and the six of us quickly get off school grounds.
"So what's your designation?"
*Harmony.*
