Jack Darby, friend to the autobots,

Jack Darby, friend to the autobots, and trusted leader of the matrix, walked through the halls of hell also known as high school. He was harassed, teased, beat, and pushed in the very hallway he walked in.

Jack walked to his locker to find Vince waiting for him. Vince was at the top of the food chain but also the most meanest kids in school. He was leaning against Jacks locker talking to some of his friends so his back was turned to Jack. Jack sighed and tried to open his locker but Vince was to heavy. Vince didn't even notice or at least chose not to.

"I need to put my books away Vince so can you please get out of the way." Jack tried to say as nicely as possible. Vince turned around to stare at Jack. Vince was about three inches taller than Jack not to mention stronger so Jack was no match for Vince although there is more to Jack than meets the eye.

"What ya going to do about it if I don't?" Vince asked in an almost threatening Jack to say something. Jack was about to respond when the bell rang for last period. Gym. Jack hated gym, but loved it because his two best friends were in it. Miko and Raf. Raf was only twelve but skipped a couple of grades because he was so smart. Miko was fifteen almost sixteen and was in the same grade as Jack. But what Jack liked most about them is that they were the only civilians that knew about the autobots existence and they were the only people that cared about him.

Vince pushed Jack into his locker and left for his last period while Jack put his books away and took out his gym clothes. He left to the boys locker room to change into his clothes. He opened the door and everything smelt like sweat and steam. Jack went to his locker and took of his shirt. He wasn't the most muscular man you've ever seen but he was defiantly not just skin and bones. Jack didn't like his friends knowing how ripped he is because they would ask where he d=got all that muscle, and the last thing Jack wants is everybody knowing his only well kept secret.

Jack put on his blue Jasper high school t-shirt on and then his grey basketball shorts that went a little past his knees. He was in the middle of tying his gym shoes when he heard a small voice saying give it back and hey that's mine. Jack finished tying his shoe and then went to go see what was going on. He then saw Raf jumping up and down because two seniors stole his glasses and had held them up above his head so Raf couldn't reach them. Raf was rather small for his age and obviously hadn't hit his growth spurt yet.

Jack ran to go help his friend. He grabbed the glasses when the bullies didn't see him coming. He then gave them to Raf told them to back off.

The bullies snorted and pushed Jack up against a wall. "Jack!" Raf said in worried as he tried to go help his friend, but the other senior was holding him. The senior holding Jack punched him in the face then in the gut. He then left Jack to fall on his hands and knees clutching his stomach. with his left hand and holding himself up with his right. "You willing to take a beating for glasses over there?" Jack looked up at the senior and said in between breaths, "Do...your...worst." Jack was kicked in the gut several times and then the senior accidentally kicked Jack as hard as he could in the face letting his head smash against the concrete wall with bone crushing power. There was a large crack and blood trickled from his lips, nose, and back of his head.

The senior, realizing what he just did ran out of the locker room. The other one threw Raf on the ground and ran as well. Raf looked at his fallen friend and shook him wildly. When Jack didn't respond, Raf ran out of the locker room and to the gym.

"Raf! Your late!" The couch said in a hollering voice.

"Jack! Two seniors ran in and beat him up. They slammed his head against the wall and he won't wake up or move!" Raf said on the verge of crying. The coach ran from the gym Raf following and into the locker room. The coach picked Jack up and ran him to the nurses office with Raf and now Miko following. The nurse called 911 and Jack was rushed to the hospital with in seconds
