Chapter 3

Bumblebee's POV

Raf seemed to shudder slightly before heading towards one of the schools hallways. "Prepare to walk through death lane." He says quite unenthusiastically. Um, okay? I give him a look of confusion. He takes a deep breath and sighs. "It's called death lane because this is the hallway where all the mean tough kids, like Vince hang out. You walk through this hall there's a 95% chance they'll bug you or hurt you and a 5% chance they'll ignore you. My first class is in the middle of this hallway so we kinda don't have a choice about walking through it." He explains. Wait, the bullies and mean kids take up this entire hallway? What, do they think that they own it or something? They kinda remind me of the deceptions and Kaeon. They practically took it over and turned it into their own little city. You went in, you most likely didn't come out. I look down at Raf and give him a confident smile and a nod. I zip my sweater back up over my mouth because I liked it better that way and we started down the hallway. I can feel all their eyes on me. It feels quite unwelcome. I just shoot them all a really nasty look and keep walking with Raf by my side. I can feel his hand shaking as he grabs hold of my sleeve. I look ahead of me to see a kid with red longish and slightly curly hair, freckles, light skin and a grey unbuttoned dress shirt style top with a green t-shirt underneath and ripped jeans walking over to us. He looks to be about Jack's age. "Uh-oh..." Raf whispers. "Here comes Vince." The hallway grows silent and this "Vince" kid has a smirk on his face. He walks up to me and grabs the collar of my sweater. "So, we got ourselves a newbie here, eh?" He asks but mostly states. Trying not to allow my Autobot instincts to kick in, I calmly take his hand off me and move him to the side. Raf and I begin to walk again when he steps in front of us stopping us a second time. I give him a really nasty glare that in my mind, should be warning him to move out of my way. Rad sort of shrinks down a bit. "I was talking to you, punk!" He says to me. My response is to hold up my middle finger right in his face. This guys is a total Jack ass! How does he have any friends? I keep my finger up until he speaks again. "Well, you've got manners. Now, please. Answer me with words. Or have you ever heard of them before?" That gets a laugh out of everyone but Raf and I. I am about to give this guy a piece of my mind when Raf yells "He's a mute Vince! He can't and won't ever be able to answer you!" Wow nicely done Raf. Although I had been hoping I'd get to punch this kid's
face in. With that I shove him into the lockers and Raf and I walk into the first class of the day and we take our seats just as the bell rings.

Arcee's POV

"Poor Raf and Bee." Jack says. We're walking to Jack's first class. I think he said it was science. Well, this should be interesting. "Why poor Raf and Bee? What's wrong with them?" I ask. Jack and I keep walking. I can see his classroom up ahead. "Well, for starters," he says, "Bee can't talk so Raf has to explain to everyone they see today why he isn't talking. And also... Raf's first class is down death lane." I just look at him. "Death lane?" I ask sarcastically. "What, did someone die down there?" I ask in a joking manner. Why would they nickname a hallway "death lane"? It's just weird. "No." Jack says. "It's where Vince and his buddies practically live when they're not in class. It's their hallway. They've claimed it. And if you go down that hallway, you're extremely likely to leave with a bruise somewhere." He explains. Oh well, that makes sense. "Rad will be fine," I explain, "Bee would die if anything happened to Raf. Especially if it was something he could've stopped so, he'll take of Raf. And vice versa. Rad is tough. I'm sure they'll be fine." Jack seems to be processing what I said. I'm more than positive he'll agree with me. We enter his classroom and take our seats. One moment later, the bell rings. The teacher enters the room and looks over the attendance list. "Well, students. It seems today we have a new student." The teacher walks up to me. He's wearing a knit vest, and dress pants. His skin tone is a tan colour, like Bee's and his head is full of hair. He's wearing a lab coat and a pair of safety goggles. "Would you like to introduce yourself?" He asks me. But I don't like people... I sigh and stand up. "My name is Aria but my friends call me Arcee. If you aren't my friend, stick with Aria please. And just a warning but if you make me or one of my friends mad, I will kick your ass. Thank you." I say. The teacher looks really shocked but doesn't say anything. I hear someone whistle as if they thought I was hot and that after that speech, they thought I was even hotter. I send a glare towards that end of the room as I sit back down. "Arcee, what was that?!" Jack whisper screams at me. I just shrug my shoulders as the startled teacher begins his lesson. "Didn't want any unwanted visitors." I responded plainly. We then turned our heads to the front of the class and listened to the lesson being given.

Bulkhead's POV

I walk into the classroom with Miko. And of course, it's history. The subject she hates the most. She also has a record of getting detention every class. "Well, hello there. You must be the new student. Please, why don't you introduce yourself to the class?" He says. Well, might as well, I guess. "Hi I'm Barry. I um-" oh scrap my psyche is glitching. What do I say? What do I say?! "Um... I used to live in the town next door but now I live so, yeah." I say and sit down as quickly as I can. I've failed miserably. "Bulkhead what even was that?" Miko asks. She looks very confused. I look at and say "don't question my intelligence Miko." She just laughs at that. "Ms. Nakadai, that will be enough from you." The teacher scolds. Oops, I think I just got her into trouble. Miko shuts up and the teacher begins his lesson.
