Revenge of the Fallen - William Lennox {2}

Chapter 3

"Mom, really?" I asked after we already got to my college. "What?" She sobbed before pulling me into another hug. I hugged her back, sighing before pulled away, "All right, I need to go, so please, go," I said. "You got it," Dad said before hugging me. After a moment, we pulled away, "Take care of yourself," He said and I nodded, "Got it."

"And don't forget to call," Mom said, "Everyday." I rolled my eyes, "Mom, come on. Thanks for the help, now please, leave," I begged. "Okay, okay," Mom said before kissing my cheek and hugging me one last time.

After saying goodbye to my parents, I headed with my things to my room I will be shearing. I walked inside to see a girl with blonde long hair placing her own things around. "Um, hey," I said and the girl turned to me. She smiled, "Hey."

"Um, my name is Ronny," I said, placing my things on the floor. "Alice," She said, shaking my hand, "So I guess we roommates, then." I nodded slightly, "Looks like it," I said, shrugging.

...................

After getting settled down and getting to know a little bit of Alice, my roommate who was a little bit weird, I walked around the campus, getting to know the place. I pulled out my phone and called William. I waited for him to answer but he didn't pick up. He must be busy I thought to myself as I looked at my phone screen. I let out a sigh before putting my phone back into my pocket.

I turned around and hit a guy, making him drop their books. "Sorry," I said as I kneeled down to help. "It's fine," He assured and we got up. I handed him the books I grabbed, "Thanks," He said before holding his free hand nervously, "Hey, um, Leo."

"Ronny," I said with a soft smile as I shook his hand. "Hey," He said nervously. I smiled at his nervous look, as if he never talked to a girl before. "You okay?" I asked. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, um," He said and I let out a soft chuckle. "You sure?" I asked. "Yeah," He said, "You know, it's just that . . . not a lot of girls . . ."

I nodded slowly, "Right . . ." I trailed off, letting out a soft smile again. "You new here right?" He asked. "Yeah, and you?" I asked. "Yeah, um, just got here a few hours ago," He replied. I nodded, "Okay." Then my phone rang and I pulled it out to see it was William calling me.

I looked back at Leo, "So, I'll see you later," I said and he looked at me shocked before quickly nodding, "Yeah, yeah, sure. I'll defiantly see you later." I gave him one last smile before walking past him as I answered the call, "Hey."

"Hey, um, I saw you called. Sorry, I couldn't answer back then," He said. "It's fine. You busy protecting the world," I teased, "I know the feeling." I heard him chuckling from the other line and I smiled. "Right," He said, "So tell me, how's college?"

"Not bad," I replied, shrugging, "Meet the place, meet my roommate, who was a bit of a . . . well, she was kinda weird."

"Weird how?" He asked. "Oh, nothing bad," I replied. "Well, who knows, maybe everything will turned bad and you'll just drop off," He said. "Don't say that," I scolded but couldn't help but to smile slightly, "You could give me a bad luck."

"I thought I'm giving you a good luck," He said. "Not always," I teased. "Now that's hurt," He joked and I giggled. I heard a voice at the other line and my smile slightly faded. "Hey, um, listen I need to go. I'll talk to you soon," William told me. I nodded, knowing he had to get back to his work, "Yeah, okay," I said, trying to sound okay. He paused, "You okay?"

"Yeah, talk to you soon," I said before hanging up. I let out a sigh, shaking my head as I looked down at my phone screen.

...................

It was a party night, someone was throwing a party for all the students and Alice made me go with her, even if I told her parties were never really my thing. All the students were in and outside the house, music was heard loudly and drinks and snacks around. Alice was around while I went to stand by the corner to look at my phone but William didn't called or send a text.

I sighed and glanced at myself, I was wearing a blue short dress and black heels, I had make up on me and my hair was curled softly. I shook my head before heading to walk out. "Ronny." I looked to my left side to see Leo walking up to me. "Wow, you look . . . Wow," He said. I smiled softly at him, "Hey, um, I was just about to head out."

"You going?" He asked. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow," I said before walked out. I froze when I saw a very familiar Camaro parked close by. It honked and I quickly walked to the driver door window, "Bee, what the hell?" I whispered.

"Damn, girl . . . You look . . . Amazing . . ." Bumblebee spoke through the radio. "Don't try," I said, "What are you doing here?"

"Houston, we have a problem."

"Really?" I groaned. "Get it . . . Long ride . . ." Bee said through the radio. I shook my head, "No, no, no. I can't," I said, "You have to get out of here."

"Houston, we have a problem."

I groaned and glanced around but no one was looking. I sighed and turned back to Bumblebee, "Come on, Bee, I can't."

"Houston, we have a problem."

"Fine," I hissed before climbing into the driver seat. "Where to?" I grumbled as I crossed my arms across my chest before he started to drive us off.

...................................

It was already early in the morning when Bee finally stopped the car. I climbed out and looked around to see I was in a cemetery. I sighed and looked over to see Optimus. I glanced at myself, "I'm so not dressed for this," I muttered as I took of my heels before shaking my head at him as I walked up to him, "You won't give me a day, huh? You won't give me one day in college?"

"I'm sorry, Ronny, but the last fragment of the All Spark was stolen," He said. "Like what? Like Decepticons stole it?" I asked. "We placed it under human protection at your government's request, but I'm here for your help, Ronny, because your leaders believe we brought vengeance upon your planet," He informed, "Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share."

"This isn't my war," I said. "Not yet, but I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron," He said and glanced down sadly, "Whole generations lost."

I swallowed, glancing down and then I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath before I reopened my eyes and looked back up at Optimus, "I know, and I want to help you, I do, but . . ." I trailed off and shook my head sadly, "But I am not some alien ambassador, I'm a normal girl with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be." He turned to the side and I glanced down, "I'm sorry. I . . . I really am."

I looked at him again before turning around and started to walk back to Bee. "Ronny, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing," Optimes said. I looked back at him as I continued to walk away, "You're Optimus Prime. You don't need me." With that I sadly climbed into the driver seat and headed back to college.
