Every now and then, Phitinh couldn't help spying on the red punk from the library.
"For a punk he loves studying. He doesn't join the cool kids, too." Phitinh muttered to herself. "I wish I know his name."
Phitinh even followed him watching him play in his sports class, watching from the benches with the excuse of studying anatomy and sports.
"This is fun, better than spending time with the bullies." Phitinh said doodling stuff in her notebook. "I finally have something to do in my free time. Though Arcee and mother would never want me to stalk on others." She sighed looking at Arcee's and Windblade's card foto she always carry around. "Though maybe since you're in the military you'll have to spy on enemy ships don't you?"
"That's exactly what they do." The red punk Phitinh tried to spy on appeared right next to her.
"Ah!!!" She said quickly closing her spy notebook which is dressed as a sports notebook. "You surprised me, again!"
"It's not good to stalk on people, especially handsome boys." He said, winking. It seems like he knows what she's up to.
"Since when are punks handsome?" Phitinh asked, sarcastically. "If you're trying to flirt with me because I'm pretty, that won't work. I'm like waaay younger than you. It's illegal."
"When did I try to flirt with you?! You get it all wrong!" The red punk shouted a little too loud, attracting unwanted attention.
The gang. Looking at him like his gone nuts and was preparing for their attack.
Phitinh realized it, too. "Shhh ... They're watching." She wishpered quietly. The red bot's face turned pale, covering his mouth. He slowly looked towards the direction of laughter.

"Hahaha! Sideswipe has a cute little girlfriend!"
Phitinh looked at the red bot, wondering. "This guy's name is Sideswipe?"
"Wonder if the bad luck spreads to her, too."
"Can't wait for the break up in their marriage!"

Sideswipe looked down not wanting them to see his face. He was tired of all the laughter and judgement just on his little joke.
That's the complete opposite of Phitinh though, her hands were preparing to punch, to launch an attack just like Arcee how taught her. She was furious. She doesn't like anyone shipping her with someone. Especially a punk.
"Shut up!!!" She shouted cracking all the bickering. She was lucky the bullies were all boys. Her voice echoed through the whole school. Everything seemed to stop at the moment. Tears slowly dripping from her eyes. The couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't take it being small.
"Come with me." She said dragging Sideswipe's hand away from the scorching hot sun and the attention she gained.
They finally ran from the crowd of people, hiding in the school's relaxing garden.
"Why did you run from them? Bullies love when their victim run from them." Sideswipe asked.
"They're boys, I'm a girl. I have the right to. They're wrong for shipping us together. We're like a grown man and a little young girl!" Phitinh shouted releasing all her stress.
"Yeah, maybe I'll find my own wife in the future,"
"You will."
"But we could be friends instead, best friends."
Best friend. That word, that one word, hits Phitinh like a gun. Memories of her friendship flow gracefully in her mind. It's been so long since she heard that word. Let alone the word friend itself.
"You sure, you and me. A high schooler and an elementary?"
"Friendship doesn't matter about gender, age and color. It could be anyone."
Phitinh smiled, having a plan up her sleeve. Shaking hands with Sideswipe to see if he really wants to be her true friend.
"Sure," Phitinh smiled reaching out her hand. Ready to execute her plan.
Sideswipe shook hands in return, while Phitinh traveled through Sideswipe's future. Her blue eyes turned white. She traveled through Sideswipe's future.
