Every curse word flew through my head, and some slipping out, as I ran down the red and white hallways of my high school. 'I'm going to be late!' I panicked. I turned quickly and, being the lucky person I was, slammed into someone. Causing all my papers to fly out of my hands.

"Sorry," I apologized, getting a better look at the person.

"Its all right," The man smiled, standing up.

I think I drooled. The man had platinum blonde hair with a few locks covering his light blue eyes. Buff, but more on the lean side. He was wearing a light gray-silvery color shirt with a darker gray jacket on, and loose jeans.

He stuck his hand out. I stared at it, before realizing that he was trying to help me up. Grabbing it, I pulled myself up. 'Wow' I thought, admiring his strength.

"Umm, I'm Hailey Stone," I stuttered, blushing.

"I'm Sides," He grinned.

I smiled, and opened my mouth to say something when someone interrupted.

"SIDES! What the frag do you think you're doing?" A voice demanded angrily.

We turned around to be met with a glare from another guy that looked to be around Sides' age. He had blonde hair, the same style as Sides, and looked like he was Sides' twin. He wore a yellow shirt and light yellow jacket though. The boy stormed up to us. I knew this was going to be a blast.

"I have been looking for you all throughout this primus forsaken fleshy learning center," He snarled. "Do you think its fun to be chewed out by 'Hide and OP for the prank?"

Sides looked like he wanted to laugh and run at the same time. I, on the other hand was kinda freaked out. Who was this guy? He has some serious anger issues. 'Hide and OP? Who came up with these nicknames?

"Calm down Sunny!" Sides chuckled.

"Don't call me Sunny!" Sunny growled.

Sunny turned to face me. He stared at me, irritated.

"Who are you?" Sunny snapped.

"This is Hailey, Hailey Stone," Sides answered for me, making me duck my head, suddenly sheepish.

"Why are you here?" Sunny questioned, his mood still foul.

"I go to school here, you know, the primus forsaken fleshy learning center," I answered dryly, raising my head.

"Stupid glitch," Sunny muttered

I opened my mouth to retort when I saw the principal heading our way. Oh. I'm in school, and been talking to these guys for more than 10 minutes. Which makes me late. Great. Just Great. I stared at the approaching principal.

"Ms. Stone," Principal Carroll said sharply.

"Look I can-" I was cut off.

"She was helping us find you." Sides answered quickly.

"And what did you need me for?" Principal Carroll asked, her brown eyes narrowing.

Sides and Sunny shared a glance. I glared at them. I used to have an almost perfect record. Yes, I do get in trouble. Not to often, but I have definitely had some detentions. Now I'll probably get one. 'Stupid jerks' I thought, mentally pouting. On the outside I was still giving Sides and Sunny dirty looks.

"Uhh…we-we need Sam Witwicky," Sides stuttered.

Mrs. Carroll sighed, annoyed, her eyes flashing with recognition.

"Follow me," She said, slightly sour.

She turned and started to walk away. Sunny followed her directions, while Sides and I stood there, looking stupid.

"Does that include me?" I asked Side, but even if it didn't I still needed to get a late pass.

He shrugged. I shot him an annoyed look. 'So helpful' I grumped to myself.

We started down the hall following Sunny and my principal. 'Who is Sam Witwicky?' Wondering, I turned to Sides, only to find him gone. 'Great! I lost him!' grumbling to myself a turned around.

I spied Sides staring at a picture. Mine to be exact. While I was no suck up, the art teacher, Mrs. Wille, favored me. I think its because I actually shut up and worked during art, but hey, thats my opinion.

I walked hurriedly over. As I got closer I could see the painting. It was one of my new paintings. I was usually horrid with paint, but this one wasn't too bad.

It was shades of dark purple, blacks, grays, and whites coming from corners to be linked into one twisting line. Then I noticed something I hadn't before, even though it was my own painting… that makes me feel smart. There were symbols of some language on there, barely there though. 'What the heck? I know I didn't put them there! I don't even know what language that is!' I thought, shocked.

Sides was staring at the symbols with such intensity that it scared me. It seemed like he didn't even realize that I was next to him. He reached into his jacket's pocket and pulled out a nice looking cell phone. Dialing a number, he put it up to his ear and began to talk.

"OP, at Sam's fleshy learning center a… painting contains Cybertronian writing," Sides stated in a low voice.

There was a pause.

"I don't know who did it." Sides answered.

Another pause.

"Ok." Sides nodded.

"Sides…" I began.

He turned eye widening when he saw me.

"I have to go." He snapped the phone shut.

He stared at me, and I stared back. I glanced at the phone in his hand which began to ring again. He looked at it too, before again meeting my eyes.

"Are you going to answer that?" A deep voice asked.

I whipped around to see two military guys, one glaring daggers at Sides, the other one smirking. Sides flinched.

"Hey 'Hide, Lennox," Sides said uneasily, smiling the-please-don't-kill-me-smile.


R&R! Do you think she is Mary-Sueish? Is this a good start? Was it rushed? Is the plot bad?
