First Meeting

Chapter 2

- A Friend -

A hour later, Starscream was making his way to the lunch room. He was so exhausted from the gym, and his stomach was empty, growling for food. It was time to try something, something delicious, that would leave the silver Seeker's belly satisfied. Catching the delicious smells, Starscream followed it and reached the cafeteria, but stopped in the entrance as he saw the public, a nervous feeling immediately coming over him. There were so many students, more femmes than mechs. The lunch room was big enough for seven hundred and forty eight students to fit in. It was unbelievable. Looking around and gulping, Starscream saw the views of several groups staring at him. Starscream's instinct said to look away everytime he established optic contact in huge number of students.

So he did, and walked toward the ordering window where today's food was located. When Starscream spot the paradise of the delectability, his bright optics lit up with excitement. Primus, it all looked so delicious, it was hard to pick which one would be the best. But Starscream's optics glued on the strawberry spongcake, his most favourite. It was Wednesday. The principal said they cook cakes on this day and the day after. Oh, he'll so enjoy it.

Taking his food on the plate with one energon cube, Starscream looked for a seat where he could sit, but they were all full, and there were tables that were reserved. Several mechs and femmes were standing by the window because they didn't have elsewhere to sit. Sighing softly, Starscream only wished at least Soundwave was here, someone he could sit with, talk and laugh as they did back in the library. But there was no sight of the dark blue mech. Nor of Knock Out or Blitzwave. Speaking of them... where were they exactly? Were they on their detention? The feeling-sorry-thought came back to Starscream, wishing that he could turn back time and change the past. Even though Knock Out was mean... Starscream still wanted to help him in any way. He wished he could...

Trying to ignore his thoughts, Starscream moved toward the window and settled the plate onto it, staring out as he took a bite of his cake. The view wasn't bad at all. He was on third floor and he was looking out to the city of Vos, huge towers and buildings reaching higher above the school itself. Thousands of cybertronians were making their way to... wherever they headed. Starscream will go to his home soon, after his detention, and then he will read the book he has gotten in the library from Soundwave.

When he was done with his lunch and the bell rang for the next hour, Starscream made his way to the principal's office, as other students were heading to their classes. Standing infront of the door, Starscream opened it to be greeted with a smile on the principal's faceplates, and five papers on the desk with a writing pen and a small bottle of ink beside it. And no Soundwave in sight. Where was he..?

Being told to sit down, Starscream had done so, seating in the chair he was in before three hours ago, when he was explaining the accident with Knock Out. And now, he has got the detention. Looking to the papers infront of him, there were four with a long text and the fifth paper was clean, probably going to be the one he is going to write on.

"I believe this shouldn't be hard for someone like you. Considering the fact you like to write and read.. I have decided to give you a task for that type." The principal Flareblitz stood from his chair and walked over to Starscream's side, setting a finger on the papers full of text. "I've thought you would like to be met with our school's laws and rules, so you can read," then pointed at the clean paper. "and write everything down on these clean papers. I'm sure you understand?"

Starscream hummed and nod his head. "Yes."

"Good. Very good. You have how much time you need." The principal smiled and moved away to one of his shelves on the left side of the room, looking through.
