"Nonononono!" cried the youngling as he held onto his father's leg shaking his head right to left, "Please, please don't make me go, I don't wanna!" the youngling continued to cry as he griped his father creator's leg even tighter. A groan escaped from Ringracer as he brought his hand over his offline optics, as happy as he was that Red Alert was starting his first day of school, which meant they no longer had to hire sitters to watch him, he couldn't help but be annoyed about how panicky his youngest was about it. He could still remember the twin's first day of school. Both of them were excited and happy to get out of the house, true they had gotten in to trouble at school but they both enjoyed the friends they had made. However Red Alert's reaction seemed to be the complete opposite.

"Clam down Red it's not going to be bad, Sunstreaker and Sideswipes like it so I'm sure you will too," his father creator tried to reason with him as he tried to get the young mech off his leg, although he was having no such luck.

"They like messing around they don't like the classes or the teachers or anything, it's just another place they can prank people at to them," Red Alert argued knowing that was the only reason his older brothers willingly went to the school aside from friends of course. But the youngling knew he wasn't going to have a good time there. He CPU could already imagine the other younglings making fun of him, and pushing him around like his brothers did. And he couldn't help but feel as if the teachers weren't going to like him very much either. It might have been his paranoia glitch that was making him so scared, but he didn't care. Red Alert just wanted to stay home with a sitter like he usually did after all he knew the sitter and knew he could trust her and trying to get to know these other mechs just scared him.

"Dad, if we don't leave soon your going to be late to work," Sideswipe spoke up as he and his twin stood at the sidelines watching their little brother panic, not even caring that he reviled the real reason as to why they enjoyed going to the school of theirs. This did nothing but make the mech growl in frustration he raised his leg then shook it in hopes of making Red Alert let go, but this did nothing but make him grip on tighter as he continued to beg not to go.

Ringracrer shook his head once more as he sighed, he grabbed a couple of datapads from the counter and began walking toward the door with his youngest mech still on his leg. The twins laughed at the site but quickly followed after their father heading to the school. It took only about two breems to get to the school and the twins already started heading off to play with friends of theirs leaving their father creator with their paranoid brother, who was still clinging on to his legs. "Red Alert just how long are you going to cling onto my leg like this?"

"Until you take me home," the youngling wined not really caring about other younglings and their creators were thinking as they saw him still hugging his father's leg, trembling in fear. He didn't want to be here, he knew that everyone he met here was going to be mean to him. And if that was going to happen he rather just stay at home. At least there the only mechs who did anything to him were his brothers.

Another groan escaped his vocals, "I'm going to have to drag you to your class aren't I?" Ringracer asked Red Alert still shaking his head against his creator's leg. He tried one last time to shake his child off his leg, but as before it didn't work. 'Why me?' he thought to himself as he rubbed his optics in annoyance. Next time Bluetracer was taking Red Alert to school. He then continued on walking until he was in front of the class Red Alert was assigned to, and he could only hope that the teachers here would treat him like he did any other. It was common knowledge that those with glitches were sent to special classes to learn, but Ringracer knew that Red Alert wouldn't get a real chance to learn if he were in those type of classes. It took a lot of negotiating with the Dean to allow Red Alert into a normal class and he knew he would do well in it, the only problem was that he was too scared to come on his own. 'I'm sorry for what I'm about to do Red,' he thought to himself as he leaned down and grabbed hold of one of his sparking's horns which quickly made the youngling let go.

"Owowowowowow," Red cried softly as his father creator grabbed hold of one of his horns, it wasn't that he grabbed it hard it was just because his sensors were sensitive that small touches like this hurt. "Please dad I don't want to stay here, please don't leave... please," Red begged as his father creator let go of his helm and kneeled down to be optics level with him, stopping him as Red Alert attempted to clinging onto him once more, by quickly grabbing hold of his arms.

"That's enough Red, your a growing youngling and you shouldn't be so afraid," Ringracer said in a nice and firm tone. Although he knew being afraid wasn't completely his fault, but he was hoping his words would get through to him, "No one is going to hurt you here, besides after class you'll get to meet up with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe doesn't that sound fun?" Red shook his head which made him frown. "How about this you stay here for the day and I'll give you an energon goodie when you get home as a reward?"

"Only one?"

"Fine I'll give you two, but no more than that you know how you get when you eat to many. Deal?" This made the youngling nod in enthusiasm which allowed Ringracer to let his child go without having to worry about his grabbing onto him again begging not to stay. "Alright then I'll see you when you get home later be sure to meet up with the twins later though I don't want you walking home alone." Again Red Alert nodded quickly hugging his father creator before entering the class.

Once Red Alert entered the classroom a nervous look on his face as he looked around. Part of him wanted to just cover his horns due to how loud all the others were and by the look of it all the teach has yet to arrive. This was going to be a long day.

About a breem or two later the teacher had come in introducing himself as Wildfire, a name in which Red couldn't help but know from somewhere although he couldn't pinpoint where, and as he went through the rules of his class realization came to him as he finally recognized the name, 'He was Sides and Sunny's first teacher too,' he thought to himself as he felt himself lower in his seat as if not wanting to be seen, especially after knowing all the pranks they used to play on him forget his teacher hating him for his glitch his teacher was going to hate him for being related to them.

"Alright kid it's nice to meet you as I just said I am Wildfire your teach for the next stellar cycle, maybe longer depending on what you'll be taught next, for now lets get to know one another since you all are most likely to be staying with one another until your full grown mechs. Lets start with you," Wifdfire said as he looked toward a young femme who just stood up from her seat introducing herself as Aerialace and how she hoped to be a great seeker once she was older. One by one each youngling introduced themselves and said what they wanted to be when they were older until it was finally his turn, however when it was his turn all he did was shrink into his seat even more. "Come on now don't be shy everyone has to do this," the clam voice of the teacher said as all optics focused on Red Alert which made him panic even more the voice of his glitch was growing louder by the click.

"Umm..." Red said softly as he stood up from his desk looking down to avoid the optics staring at him, "I-I-I-I'm Red Alert, and- and and- umm... I-I'm not really sure what to be..." he trailed off as he quickly sat back down in his seat wanting to just hurry up and leave right now.

"Red Alert?" the teacher question as he knew there was something important about this one however he couldn't recall, he picked up a data pad on his desk optics narrowing as he looked at the youngling's file, 'A glitch? He's a glitch?' he thought to himself a bit upset that they had put a glitch mech in his room instead of sending him into the special classes like all other glitches, but it wasn't the only thing that made him upset. It seemed like the youngling was also related to the little hellions Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, 'I can't believe they did this to me' he thought to himself as he sent a small glare toward the red and white youngling who was still trying to hid in his chair. His optics clamed down as he looked at the mech behind Red Alert, "Alright next."

"Any questions?" Wildfire ask as he scaned the room none of the younglings raising their hands at first, "Good then get to work and if any of you need me feel free to tell me," with that Wildfire sat on his deska s the younglings got to work on their writing. About a quarter of the way through Red Alert raised his hand to get his teacher's attention which brought the mech over, "Yes."

"Umm can you tell me how to spell my brother's name," Red Alert asked since they were suppose to spell out the names of their familes Red Alert needed to know whether or not he was getting them correct.

"Of course," Wildfire replied as he took the pen from Red and was about to spell it out for him until another hand went up and Red Alert's teach quickly forgot about him and went to the other student. A sad look went on Red Alert's face as he was instantly forgotten about before Wildfire had the chance to help him.

Like he would help you, your glitched hes gonna do nothing but avoid you so that way you'll fall behind and be put in to the class glitch

Red Alert actually thought this to be really possible, however he tried to keep his father's advice and not listen to the voice within his CPU no matter how much sence it made. The teacher continued to help other students with their work and whenever he rose his hand he was quicklt ignored and Wildfire just helped another student who had raised his hand afterward. FInally giving up Red Alert just tried to work on his own hoping he would get the writting right. About half an orn later the class was excused for a break making them hand in their datapads so that they could reveiw them and that was when Red Alert went up to his teacher, "Umm.. excuse me Wildfire sir," Red spoke out to gain his teacher's attention, "I was just wondering why you ignored me when I tried asking for help."

"I never ignore my students Red Alert," was the smiple reply his teacher gave him as he looked over some of his student's work.

"But... umm... when ever I raised my hand you ignored me and helped everyone else but me," Red Alert replied a bit more determed for an answer. However a somewhat fearful look went into his eyes as his teacher glared at him with dark pale blue optics, although what made Red Alert even more terrified was that he was the only one left in the class with his teacher.

"Listen, and listen good youngling for I will only say this once, I do not like that fact that your in my class a glitch like you should be in another class not mine and I'm not going to watse my time with a glitch when I can be helping younglings who actually have a future to look forward. If you want to stay in my class thats fine with me, but unless you start paying attention to what I have to say you'll fall far behind 'cause as I already said I'm not going to watse my time with a mech with no future," Wildfire said coldly as he stared down at the shaking glitch. "Understand?"

Red looked as if he was on the verge of crying, but he choose to keep the energon teas in as he gave his teacher his unfinished data pad ad left the room. He should have just continued to beg his father to allow him to stay at home at least he wouldn't be taught by some jerk who didn't even see him worth his time.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Once the break was over the students made their way back to their seats everyone laughing and enjoying the conversations they were having with one another, by the look of it all it seemed to have befriended one another except for him of course. It seemed like just about every youngling in the class was ignoring him. At first he didn't understand why, but then he figured that just about every youngling found out about his glitch and was now avoiding him because of it. 'Why couldn't dad just let me stay home?' he continued to think to himself as he looked down sadly at his desk not paying attention to anything around him. That was when he looked up at his teacher as he walked into the room with an energon cube in hand.

"Alright younglings lets begin," he said as he tried to open one of the cabinets in his desk however it was sealed shut. "What is this?" he grumbled as he continued to try and open the cabinet. "Slag it!," he muttered softly to himself as he heard laughing amonst his students, he banged the desk just to have it explode as he did so. It wasn't a dangerous one, but it was enough to knock Wildfire into the walk behind him as well as cause the room to be filled with smoke causing an alarm to go off and water to sprinkel down from the ceiling getting the entire class wet. The younglings of the class as well as Wildfire quickly evacuated the room other classes were also exiting their rooms after hearing the alarm. An angry growl escaped the mech's vocolizer as he looked over to Red Alert grabbing hold of one of his arms, "This was your fault wasn't it?"

"What!? What are you talking about I had-"

"Don't lie to me this is the EXSACT same prank your brothers pulled on me before and now that your in my class you decided to do the same thing!"

Red Alert shook his head as he tried to get his arm out of this teacher's grasp flitching a bit as to how hard Wildfire was holding him. "No I swear I didn't do this!"

"Tell it to the Dean," Wildfire said as he began pulling the youngling with him to the head office right after getting another mech to look after his students. About half a breem later Red Alert was sitting in the office with a pained looked on his face hatig the fact that he was being blamed for a prank he never did. He held on to his arm in pain for Wildfire's hand dug in deeper than what he had thought and it still hurt even after he let go. At the moment he was waiting to be called into the Dean's room his sensitive sensers could pick up his teacher's yelling through the door with words he had never really heard before, but by the tone of his voice they weren't very good ones. Bringing his knees up Red Alert warped his arms around himself ducking his head into his knees doing his best to keep in the tears that threatened to come down, he knew something bad would happen if he came to school he just knew it, but his father creator refused to believe him. Everyone always refuse to believe him.
