Chapter One

            Kay walked into the huge lecture hall, holding her single notebook to her chest. Sure, she was a crisp twenty-nine, but she also had insecurities as well. Finding an empty seat near the wall at the far back, she sat down.

            Lincoln State University was huge, by any standards, but Kay knew it like the back of her hand. She had originally come to LSU to study sciences, but became bored with it and decided to enter the social sciences instead. Namely, history, like the wars and revolutions, conflicts, and the like.

            For ten minutes, students slowly trickled into the hall, and it began to fill. Then, the entrance nearest Kay produced a similarly aged man, who looked at his schedule a bit blankly.

            "You look a bit lost," She speculated, still sitting calmly. "Need help?"

            The man turned to her, blinking once. "Um, this wouldn't by any chance be the American Wars seminar, would it?" He was incredibly tall, and very well-built, with dark, tan skin and even darker curly brown hair. His eyes were a very warm brown as well, and Kay felt some type of familiarity within them.

            "That it is," Kay responded kindly, smirking, then pointing to an empty seat. "Want to join me? I'd rather have someone I remotely know sitting beside me as opposed to a complete stranger…"

            He seemed a bit confused. "Gladly…I'm Sam. Sam Greene. And you are?"

            "The name's Kay Matthews." At that, the man seemed utterly shocked, but quickly brushed it off. "Nice to meet you."

            "…Nice to meet you, too."

            Caitlin stepped into the biology lab quickly. She had slept in AGAIN, and didn't want to be late to one of her best classes. As she rushed in hurriedly, she walked smack into a youngish man, sending their books and papers every whichway.

            "Gah! Sorry, sorry!" She said as she stooped down and began gathering the books and papers from the ground before anyone would step on them. "I wasn't watching where I was going, really sorry about this."

            "It's alright," he said, chuckling, in an easygoing voice as he helped her. "I wasn't paying any more attention than you were." The girl brought her eyes up to him for a quick glance, and looked away instantly, her face burning with blush. His rust-red hair was crudely tied up in a bandana, and there was a trace of light, but trimmed hair on his chin. His eyes were a deep, almost navy, blue, and he stood a solid six inches over Caitlin. He might have been somewhere around 25, but Cait was far too shy to ask.

            Flustered, Caitlin nodded a little at his statement and continued to scoop her papers into her hands. That's when a shadow fell on them both. They turned, and a tall, somewhat decently built man was standing over them. He seemed around twenty-one, and had a very crooked grin on his face. His hair was a shocking orange-red, and his eyes were a shade of bright emerald that almost didn't seem human. "Well, nice job you did here, Red."

            The guy who was on the ground seemed unhappy and his eyes flashed a little dangerously. "It's Aaron. Don't call me that again, please."

            "Well fine," The redhead snorted, putting his hands on his hips, then looked at Caitlin. "Say, who's your friend now?"

            "The name's Caitlin Andrews."

            Aaron's eyes brightened with shock, but he cleared his throat and stood up, offering her his hand. "Well, Miss Andrews, I'm Aaron Redding. This, unfortunately, is my friend, Chris Stone." He motioned to the crazy-looking one.

            After the three had been introduced to one another, they entered the Biology Lab hurriedly, seconds before the bell rang.

            The American Wars seminar was still a good ten minutes away, and Kay couldn't help but glance over at Sam from time to time. She just couldn't help but think she knew him from somewhere…… Then, interrupting her thoughts, two new men came walking up, both of them that seemed to know Sam right off the bat.

            One was around twenty-eight or so, with golden blonde hair, streaked with red and brown throughout. His eyes were a deep blue, and he was rather tall…though Sam still topped him by a few inches.

            The other was much younger, around nineteen, and had light blue sunglasses sitting down low along the bridge of his nose. His hair was a chestnut brown, and his eyes were a baby blue that Kay had never seen before. "Hey! Sc-I mean Sam!" He greeted. "What's up?"

            "Nothing much…you here for this, too?" Sam retorted back.

            The older one nodded. "Yes, then we're off for about ten minutes afterwards. We're going to meet up with all the others then, too." He then noticed Kay. "I see you've made a friend."

            "This is Kay…" Sam said a bit uncertainly, then, he motioned to his friends. "Kay, this is Orion Peterson," He motioned to the older one, then to the nineteen year old. "And Steven Evans."

            Kay nodded politely their way. "Nice to meet you both."

            "Well, 'Rion, Steve, want to sit with us? Might as well, you know…" Sam suggested, pointing to the empty seats around the now four strong group.

            Orion nodded, and he and Steven both chose seats adjacent to the other two seated. As they lounged around on the old, worn chairs, one more rather lost-looking man joined the group. He had black hair, with slate gray highlights, but he was far from appearing old. His eyes were a shade of brown that nearly appeared orange, and he seemed a tad aloof when it came to his surroundings.

            "Hm, who's that new guy?" She asked a little blankly.

            Orion picked his head up and looked in the newcomer's direction. "Oh…that's Matt Newford. A friend of ours, but he needs his space."

            "Ah. Well invite him over here and he can join us." Kay shrugged. "The more, the merrier, they say." Steve hailed Matt, and he came to join the other four a little reluctantly. "First year here, too?" Kay asked casually.

            "Um…yes," he said a little softly, a trace of an English accent in his voice. "I am in the right place, correct?" Orion peered at his slightly rumpled schedule, and nodded. "Good…I'm not as hopeless as I thought."

            Then, the bell rang and the professor took his spot at the podium.

DMK: HA! Cliffhanger! …sort of…anyway, if you can guess the Transformers (Autobot AND Decepticon) that appeared as a humans in this chapter (it MIGHT have things to do with their initials…most of them are the FIRST AND LAST letters of their respective names….some of them may be switched though…) To help you out, there were two Decepticons, and four Autobots that showed up. :D First person that guesses gets a cookie and an honorable mention. And one last note… The 'Bots and 'Cons are working together, I know. THIS WILL BE EXPLAINED IN A LATER CHAPTER. Please no flames because of the lack of explanation, you'll get it eventually.
