The Spark of Cybertron

First day of School Part 1

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Mrs Darby honked her horn in the car. She looked back at the backseat. "First day of your new school, Ora?" She smiled.

I looked up away from my arm and met her gaze. "Yes, Mrs Darby. It is."

She turned back at the road filled with cars in front of her. "And you, Jack, excited for the new term of school?" She asked her son.

I have been with the Darby family for a long time even since I was abandoned by my parents. I didn't even get see them or talk to them. Sometimes I think if they even loved me before even to leave me there on the porch of the Darby's house.

"Um, yes mum, I am happy to be in school again." Jack said with sarcasm.

Mrs Darby kept her eyes locked on the road. "Good thing we moved you to another school, Ora....It was getting chaotic in that previous school you had......But I know it wasn't you who did it....."

Yes, I remembered it too well. The girls in the canteen were making fun at me when I tripped over while getting my lunch. I tried to ignored it but it was too long that they been teasing me. I tried too fight with it. It did the thing...to them all. I can't hold it much longer.

I looked back at my sleeve and pulled it up. The mark was found on my arm ever since I was found by the Darby family. I was always curious if my parents tattooed on my arm. Who would ever do that to their kid? Grown ups are weird...

Mrs Darby sighed in relief, seeing the cars move by. "We are now finally moving kids. We are going to be late though so lets hope for the best in school."

Ding! Ding!

"Mum, we need to go now, we are late! The school bell just rang!" Jack said.

Mrs Darby hugged Jack and I for like the 10th time. "Okay, okay then, goodbye and be good!" She went inside her car and drove away into the distance.

"Come on, Ora!" Jack called behind me already at the school entrance.

Well, here we go.......again.....

We both entered the entrance and ran down through the corridors with a few twist and turns. "Um, um, our class should be right here..." Jack turned a right with me following him behind.

Jack and I entered the class with everyone staring at us like we are freaks. There was an awkward silence in the classroom. Until Jack broke it with apology to the teacher saying sorry that we were late. 

"And Jack...Oh..." She just noticed me, "You must be the new student that Mrs Darby was talking about, Ora was it? Yes?"

I nodded in a reply. The whole class was staring at me and I felt like I am about to run away. Then I noticed a guy with black hair and light blue eyes popped his head up hearing my name. I clutched my arm with the mark. I felt something like a mini electric shock poked me in my arm.

"Good, um...yes...Jack take your seat." She gestured to his chair. "Ora, your seat is next to Orion over there. He is new, here too just like you." 

I nodded once again in a reply, went to the seat that was next Orion. He popped down his head when I sat down next to him. Orion made a glance to the guy, sitting behind us. He kept his eyes watching him closely. I took a look too. The guy that Orion was glancing at, had silver hair and surprisedly red eyes. His red eyes turned to look at me and he smirked. I quickly spun my head away from his gaze.

Then class began and I was curious what was with those two guys...
