Transformers Prime: Secrets Part 1

Part 1


I walked up the steps to the school. Many of the kids were chatting about and gossiping about other stuff. Then, a girl approached me with a smile wide on her face.
"You're the new girl, aren't you?" she asked.
"Um… yes?" She grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously.
"My name's Miko!" she introduced. "What's yours?" She let my hand go. I shook it off.
"It's Marisa," I replied. She smiled and grabbed my hand again.
"It's so good to meet you!" She looked behind me and laughed. "Jack! This is Marisa, the new girl!" I turned around and saw a boy with black hair approaching.
"Nice to meet you Marisa," he said.
"Nice to meet you too," I spoke back. He nodded his head and looked at Miko.
"I need to talk to you in private," he exclaimed. Miko looked at him curiously. Jack grabbed her arm and drug her closer to the school doors. I listened carefully to try and see what they were trying to say.
"You can't tell her anything about it, alright?" I heard Jack say. I could hear Miko sigh.
"Fine, but you know it'll be hard for me." That's when Jack walked up to me and sighed.
"Look, maybe it's time we be getting into homeroom," he said. I nodded my head and walked into the school.
As I sat down in my new desk, Jack sat in front of me and Miko sat behind me. I was starting to feel a little weird now, like they were trying to be close to me on purpose. The class started a little while after the bell rang.
At three, school was out. I walked out of the doors with Jack and Miko following behind me, of course. Jack grabbed my arm but then retreated. It's like he didn't mean to.
"Um, Marisa?" he started. I looked at him curiously.
"What?" I asked. He was rubbing the back of his head, like he was embarrassed or something.
"Um… would you like to take a ride on my motorcycle?" he asked. Really? Already? He was already asking if I wanted a ride? Smooth move, Jack…
"Sure." So he led me to his motorcycle. I looked at it curiously. It looked awfully familiar, like I'd seen it somewhere. He hopped on it first and put his helmet on. He looked at me.
"You coming?" I nodded my head and sat down behind him.
"Is this alright?" I asked. I had to wrap my arms around his chest in order to stay put on the motorcycle.
"Yeah, it's alright," he replied. So then we started moving after that.
As we were moving along, we were heading towards this canyon-like place. All of a sudden, a huge truck appeared by us. The window rolled down and Miko popped her head out. I widened my eyes. She wasn't even driving!
"Hey, Jack. Do you know where you are going?" she asked. Jack gasped and slammed on the brakes. My face slammed into his back. It hurt really bad.
"I'm so sorry, Marisa!" He got off the motorcycle and held my hand.
"Oh, it's fine," I said with my teeth gritted. I think he got the idea that I was not okay… In fact, I wasn't feeling as normal as I was supposed to… "Oh, never mind, it's hurting even more now," I spoke up. He held his hand on my forehead.
"It feels like you have a dent in your head!" he exclaimed. Well that made me feel a lot better. Thanks Jack! "Come on," he murmured. "I'll take you in here."
"Jack!" Miko yelled. "I thought you said…"
"Forget what I said," he interrupted. "This could be something dangerous." I held my hand on my head. All this from just banging into his back. Just then, I felt extremely dizzy. The last I remembered was darkness overpowering my eyesight.
"Step back, she's coming to…" I started hearing voices. I didn't know if I were imagining them or what. I slowly opened my eyes and saw these robots staring at me.
"W-where am I?" I breathed.
"You're at our base," said the red and white robot. Wait… this weren't robots… These were Autobots! The Autobots!  I sat up and rubbed my head.
"Are you alright, Marisa?" Jack asked me. I nodded my head.
"Yeah, I'm feeling better now." I set my hand in my lap. "Um… thanks for the ride by the way…" Jack looked behind him as a blue Autobot approached.
"Yeah, on me," she said. I gulped. She must have been his motorcycle then… Then, a huge Autobot walked up and knelt down beside me.
"My name is Optimus Prime." He looked back at the motorcycle. "And you already met Arcee." She nodded her head in greeting. "Then this one right here that helped you is Ratchet." He held his hand up as if he were waving, but he wasn't waving. I nodded my head to him. Optimus looked at a yellow and black Autobot. "This is Bumblebee." I smiled and waved at Bumblebee. He waved his hand back at me. Then he pointed to the last one, the one that drove Miko here. "And that's Bulkhead." I nodded my head to him and looked at Jack.
"This is so weird, Jack," I said. He laughed.
"Yeah, well, it was weird for me too, when I first saw them." I tried to stand up, but I still felt shaky. I almost fell, but Jack caught me.
"Thanks," I murmured.
"No problem," he answered.
"You may be feeling dizzy for a while. Strangely, I can't see how you can possibly get an injury that serious and still be conscious right now." Ratchet examined me one more time. It felt so weird being looked over by an Autobot.
"I didn't know it was so serious just from hitting my back," Jack said. Ratchet nodded his head and looked at me again. I looked up at him. I still couldn't believe how tall they were.
"You're lucky you brought her here," said Arcee. "You wouldn't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with what knows who would happen to her." Just then, a younger approached me.
"So you're what's causing all the commotion?" He adjusted his glasses so that he could see me better. I could tell he was blushing a little now. "I mean, who's causing all the commotion."
"I guess you could say that…" I said. He smiled. I smiled back.  Jack rolled his eyes. I think he was jealous. Why be jealous though? I had no intention on liking, whatever the kids name was.
"By the way, my name is Rafael," he introduced.
"I'm Marisa," I said. We shook hands.
"Marisa, you should get more rest, just in case you decide to pass out again," Ratchet told me. I didn't want to, but hey, I had to. So I got back on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
"You kids better get going," Optimus exclaimed to the kids. "We don't want you to disrupt Marisa." I could hear Miko complaining about going back home instead of hanging out all night with Bulkhead. The other two didn't say anything. I could hear Jack and Arcee leave in a matter of seconds. I turned my head so I was looking at Rafael. Bumblebee was getting ready to transform back into his other form. Rafael looked at me one more time and then entered Bumblebee when he turned into his car form. I looked at the ceiling again and then closed my eyes.
