When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

The science fair went about as it was expected when Jack, Miko and Raf presented their projects to the teachers. Azura still could not believe that Ratchet had taken over their projects and create these things. Raf had a massive volcano that was active and almost blew a while through the second level and roof of the school. Miko has a model of Cybertron and it's moon, which Azura found odd because Miko was wanting the solar system of Earth, not Cybertron. And Jack...Azura wasn't even sure what Ratchet even made for him. If it was meant to be a bite, it seemed more like a robotic hammer with the amount that it destroyed.

Needless to say, the three of them didn't get high scores for their projects. Azura felt very bad for them. As for her Amazon model, it was well received. She was able to so a whole speech about the forest itself and the different animals and plants that thrive in the rainforest. Not everyone was interested, but the teachers were impressed and she got an A for her project. She was very happy with the accomplishment.

Azura did do her best to ensure Jack, Miko and Raf did not become the laughingstock of the school simply because of the projects they brought in. She did ask if they had their original projects, but they didn't. Miko could have brought hers in if it didn't get destroyed accidently on the way into town the day before. Which Azura felt even worse for them as she knew that they didn't deserve getting bad grades because of this. There was not much they could do though.

Azura was going through her locker at the end of the day. She was checking off a few things that she had to do in regards with homework. She was looking forward to going home, even though today has been a good day. She hoped that Ratchet won't give the kids a hard time over the fact they got a low grade, even though it was his fault that this happened.

"Hey there, golden."

Azura tensed and looked around before frowning at Vince. "What did you just call me?"

"Oh, don't you like golden?" Vince chuckled softly as he sauntered closer to her and leaned against the locker beside hers. "It suits you with your golden hair."

She grimaced and scrunched up her nose. "Just because my hair looks golden, doesn't mean I appreciate being called that." She looked back into her locker to finish up quickly. "Could you please just leave me alone? I'm busy."

"I would, but after seeing those hideous projects your friends brought in compared to the masterpiece that you made, I had to come and apologize to you." She looked at him in surprise before rolling her eyes and looking back into the locker. "I apologize that you have such weird, terrible friends."

Azura slammed the locker door shut and glared at Vince. "Will you cut the crap already?! You need to lay off your high horse and drive your stupid car into a ditch somewhere." The boy's face changed from a cocky grin to a frown. "I don't like you, I have never liked you. My friends were creative and it didn't go as planned. But they did their best!"

"Clearly it wasn't enough," Vince said with a scoff. "How can you defend those freaks? They're way out of your league!"

"And I am way out of your league! I can't stand you, Vince!" She shouted back at him, which received looks from other students. "You need to leave me alone!"

Vince just smirked at her. "I am sure deep down..."

"Your ego is so unbelievable!" Azura stomped away from Vince angrily. :And I had people like you. Thinking you're all that just because you're captain of the football team and think your car is the best." She turned on her heels and glared at Vince as he was following her. "But you do know once you hit college, your ego will get taken down a notch, right? You'll realize that your attitude will not fly in the real world. Grow up and leave me alone!"
