When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Chapter 33

She turned away from him again and stormed away, feeling absolutely furious about having to deal with Vince. She's already had to tell him to leave her friends alone as he and his group of boys and girls tried to mock Jack, Miko and Raf. Azura was not having it at all. She already made sure to film the incident, upload it and now they were being slammed for their bullying behavior online. She knew it was a petty thing to do, but it did make most of them back off since their parents also saw it. But Vince didn't seem to care like the others did, and it was super annoying.

Vince just watched as Azura walked away before he huffed and followed her angrily. "And who do you think you are? You're nothing but a little orphan who got adopted by a military agent!" Azura tensed a little as she hears him following her, but she ignored him as she walked towards the front door. "Hey! I am talking to you!"

"Leave me alone!" Azura shouted back at him. "I don't need you to be ruining the day everyday."

"Oh, you little brat!" Vince shouted angrily. "You should have gone back to that pitiful orphanage that you came from! Or foster home! Whatever, you don't belong here!"

"Lucky for you, Vince, I won't be here for much longer," Azura responded bluntly. "Give it a couple months and we will never have to deal with each other again." She shakes her head in disbelief. "Take your fragile, little, ego and go home! Or go to whatever it is you do."

The boy growled and as Azura walked through the twin doors, she yelped as Vince shoved her suddenly causing her to fall down the stairs. "You little brat!" Azura rolled down the stairs with a groan, but she noticed the impact didn't hurt like they would have been. It seemed like the energon she has been ingesting was making her stronger.

"Azura!" Jack ran over as she stood up and brushed herself off. "Are you okay?"

"Perfectly fine." Azura placed her hands on her hips as she glared at the boy. "If you need to feel like a man by pushing and shoving people, you should look forward to jail. Assaulting people is not the thing to get your own way." She turned on her heel and walked away, glancing around and sighing with relief as she noticed Optimus was not there. "And with plenty of witnesses, I could have you charged."

Vince rolled his eyes at her. "And yet, you seem to not even be hurt." He huffed loudly and shook his head. "You are going to regret rejecting me, little orphan."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Azura was not in the mood as she walked over to Miko and Raf as they stare in disbelief. She looked at them with a smile. "Hey, guys. Don't worry, Vince didn't hurt me. He's just being a jerk again."

"I can't believe he did that," Miko said in a worried tone. "Now Vince is going to start bullying you." Azura shrugged as she sat down, not really caring too much. "And we have been made as the laughingstock of the school because of those stupid projects Ratchet made for us, which is not going to help either."

"Vince is just a teenager who thinks he is all that," The girl said, looking at the children who were still worried about her. "I doubt people are going to remember your projects for too long either. But..." She pulled out her phone and showed them a video. "I made that the internet is aware of how those bullies treat others at school. And they are being hammered online."

Miko stared at the video and smirked a little. "That's good. It was not fun to have a group of people come over to us and make fun of us. I was kind of scared, if I am honest."

"M-Me too." Raf looked at the corner as he was hoping the bots would show up soon. "Do you think the bots will be here soon? I don't really want to be here for too much longer in case they start teasing us again."

"They should be here..." Azura paused as she heard the hum of familiar engines getting closer. "Ah, right on time. They are almost here."

"Are you sure you are okay?" Jack asked gently, making her look at him in surprise. "Vince pushed you pretty hard and you fell down all flights of stairs. You don't seem hurt, but I wanted to make sure you are okay."
