"Shawna hurry up you're going to be late!" came the ever so familiar cry of her mom.
"I'll be down in a second mom chill!" the girl in question called back from her bedroom as she pulled a dark blue t-shirt over her messy hair.

"SHAWNA!" Her mom shouted impatiently.
Shawna rolled her eyes as she tried to squeeze into some skinny jeans. "Gggr, damn legs" she moaned, yanking them off and slipping into some stonewashed bootleg jeans and cow patterned socks. Looking herself over in the mirror, she smiled and quickly ran a brush through her dressing hair.

Shawna's POV

After another call from my mom, this time with a threat to 'come up there!' I ran down the stairs with my school bag and into the kitchen.
"Hey mom, hey bro" I smiled as I walked towards the kitchen counters hearing a disgruntled 'hi' from my older brother which I couldn't be bothered to respond to. I set my bag on the counter and reached into the cupboard to grab a box of cereal and began with my breakfast routine.

Unfortunately I didn't heard her moms flip flops across the kitchen floor and jumped when a kiss was suddenly placed on my head, making me spill some of her cereal all over the floor. "MOM!" I cried as I cleaned up the mess. 'I hate it when she does that'

"Sorry honey I thought you had heard me coming." She tried to pretend that she was sorry but it was obvious that she found it hilarious. I shook my head at her as I threw the now uneatable cereal into the bin and sat down to eat my now much needed breakfast. I was alone now as Sam had left in the commotion with his school friend. 'Why did he have to leave me with her when she's excited' Shawna thought as she placed the spoon in her mouth.

"Isn't this exciting Shawna? Your first day at high school, oh I bet your so happy" she exclaimed as she stood behind my chair and placed her hands on my shoulders as I tried to eat my cereal. She let go of me only to run into the living room then return with a camera. 'My mom takes things way to seriously sometimes' I thought, but I still smiled for the random 'becoming a freshman' photo's.

Eventually it came time to leave and before I knew it, we were outside the high school. I was shaking. I was scared that I was entering a school where the only person I knew was my brother who had left for school with his friends earlier leaving me to fend for myself, which was a big problem for nervous old me.

I felt mom kiss my cheek and wish me good luck as I cautiously stepped out of the car bag in hand. Sucking in a deep breath, I looked back at mom and said goodbye to her as well and shut the door, watching as she drove away, leaving me there, alone, with a bunch of strangers. I looked around and saw a girl to my left, about my age standing there staring at the school to so I decided to try to make a friend which for me wasn't that easy.
As I walked over to her she saw me and smiled, meeting me halfway through my tiny journey.
"Pretty scary huh?" I asked, putting on a brave tone to make myself seem okay when mentally I was freaking out.

"Yeah, I can't believe I'm here ya know?." Her voice was very quiet and calm as she looked from me to the building.
"Mmhm, I know. I can't believe that I got outta my bed, I couldn't sleep at all last night." I told truthfully, starting to relax a bit.
The girl laughed and then turned to face me completely. "Hah, same. Names Lara, Lara Thomas."

I smiled and held out my hand. "Shawna Witwicky."

A couple minutes after we had gotten acquainted, we heard the school bell ring and suddenly all panic started again. I quickly pulled my time table out from my bag and looked over to Lara. "Quick, what's your first lesson?" I asked.
She got hers out of her satchel and read. "Science"
"You serious, me too, say's we're in room 201A" I told her as we ran inside to get to class, which, according to my watch; we were two minutes late for.

Eventually, we found it though and were surprised to see that the class was bustling with chatter.
The teacher looked at us as we came into the room and smiled.
"I'm glad you found it alright. Take a seat, we're just going to wait another few minutes for the few stragglers to arrive." He told us as he continued with his book.

Me and Lara found two seats by the window and began to chat randomly about likes and dislikes, what we did during summer vacation and what movies we wanted to watch and what they wanted to do on the weekends, but it came to an end five minutes later when the teacher began to address the class.

Now came the boring part. Instead of teaching us anything, the teacher, now known as Mr George, began to show us this stupid science video that I had seen at the end of eighth grade so I decided to look out the window to the neighbourhood below. It was at this moment that she thought about the children who lived across from the school. 'I do not envy those guys, having to live near a school with all the chaos and stuff? Nope, not my cup of coffee.' I thought as I continued to look at the quiet road.

It was at this point that I noticed a police patrol care drive slowly by the school. Kinda like they do when they're scoping out the house of some criminal that's really dangerous. I'd seen a couple of those shows on TV, they were boring and basically carbon copies of each other.
But back to the matter at hand.
I continued to watch the patrol car until it eventually turned the corner and I could see no more.
'I wonder what it was doing here? Maybe there's some senior selling marijuana or cocaine and they're trying to catch him?' My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the bell ring and everyone, including myself and my new friend, got up to leave, but my mind remained on the patrol car, curiosity growing with every minute. What had it been doing here and why did I get this off feeling from its presence.

I had those thoughts going through my brain all day, and thanks to that, the first day went by like a breeze, I had even managed to set up a movie day with Lara, which, come Wednesday, would be a welcome change to sitting home watching Spongebob.

But it was now 4:45 and I was halfway home. I must admit I was a little scared when mom told me that she wouldn't be able to pick me up as Dad had taken the car, but, hey, I had just gotten through my first day as a freshman, so I felt pretty good about myself.
But it hadn't lasted long.

About a quarter of the way there, the patrol car had returned and it was now, not so convincingly, following me, which made me very, very nervous.
Had I done something wrong? I had turned back to look at him but when I had the car stopped dead in its tracks with a slight screech and stayed there, with only the rumble of the engine present.
So, I had ignored it, hoping that the driver would get bored and go away, even though that was a childish way of thinking. But I didn't need to worry much longer, for as soon as I reached my cul-de-sac, the car swerved side wards and sped off back in the direction I had walked leaving an me absolutely nervous wreck but just as happy that it had finally gone.

It only took another five minutes to reach my house and outside it stood Sam, Dad and a new car?

As I jogged up to them, Dad crushed me in a teddy bear hug whilst Sam stood behind us, ogling his new car like it were a girl. 'Boy's and car's' I thought as I struggled to breathe.
After Dad finally released me from the crushing hug, he ruffled my already knotted hair and asked.

"So, how was yer first day at big evil old 'igh school? Was it scawy for wittle Shawna?" he mocked playfully.
I smirked and lightly punched his shoulder before answering "It was fine Dad, I met a girl there called Lara and the classes were fun cept Science cause the teacher showed us this boring video which I'd already seen before and-"

"Calm down kiddo" he told me, seeing that I was getting out of breathe from explaining everything.
"Tell ya what, why don't you go watch some TV then we'll talk about it over dinner mmkay?"

I nodded and began to trudge back towards the house turning back halfway there to shout to Sam "NICE CAR BY THE WAY!" before finally reaching the front door.
I took a deep breath. 'One, two, three' I opened the door on three and was surprised to find no mom in the hallway to shower me with unwanted affection.

Seriously I'm not five.

But her absence minded me, and I got a little freaked until she called from the kitchen.
'She must be making dinner better not disturb her' I thought as I kicked off my shoes and dumped my bag in the hallway. I crashed onto the sofa and longed in the recliner, flicking mindlessly through channels until finding one that could amuse me for a while, helping me push the memory of the scary stalker patrol car behind me.
For now at least.

One Hour Later

"So honey how was school?" Mom asked after finishing her dumpling. Mom had cooked her more than delicious stew tonight and now we were all sitting around the dinner table, eating away at it.
"Yeah Shawna, how does it feel to be a freshman now?" Sam asked as he too finished another dumpling.

"It was great, I met a new girl called Lara, got shown around the school grounds, met some other people, new teachers, ya know, freshman stuff."
"So does this mean I don't have to help you with anything now?" Sam asked.

"Well, you didn't exactly help me today did you? I couldn't find you anywhere!" I moaned as we all finished our meals.
"That's because I was hanging out with my friends, see I met this girl called Mik-" I cut him off.

"Don't care" I told him and left the table, going up to my room to play my PSP.

Three hours later.

"Damn battery" I mumbled as I plugged my PSP charger and PSP into the wall. "Just when I finish the level it goes and turns off. UH!." I looked over to my clock and my eyes widened.
It was eleven o'clock.

'Crap!'

I quickly dressed into my PJ's and hopped into bed, which was now warm because I had been lying on it for almost five hours.
I snuggled under the covers and let myself drift off into peaceful sleep.

"Shawna..."

"Wha-who?"

"Shawnaa..."

"Who and where are you!"

I heard an evil cackle come from the darkness and suddenly two large, menacing red eyes appeared onto the black, focusing down on me heavily.

"I've found you!"

Suddenly a metallic clawed hand reached from the blackness and made a move to grab me when...

AN Ooooh a cliffhanger I wonder what will happen next.
Well here it is, my first Transformers fic, and what a fic it shall be. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I can't wait to read your reviews on it.
