Miko's Broken Heart {See Rewrite 'Miko'}

Three: "Go refuel."✅

Miko's eye's threatened to close as the math teacher drowned on about variables and fractions. Sure, it was normal for her to be board during school but never tired or well, tired enough to actually fall asleep that is. With a silent huff she used the back of her hands to rub her eyes as her vison blurred before clearing. She glanced down at the textbook, which was open, before her then back up the board. She could feel eyes on her as she wrote down what was on the marker board before her which caused her to look around once she was finished writing. Staring directly at her was Raf who had a concerned look on his face. Miko shrugged her shoulder's as she yawned quietly but apparently the yawn was loud enough for the teacher, Miss. Brickwood, to turn abruptly to her. 

"Miss. Nakadai!" She snapped. "I hope you've been writing down everything since it appears you would rather sleep then do the work.".

"I wrote everything down." Miko stated, twirling her pencil between her finger's out of habit. 

Miss. Brickwood narrowed her eyes at the teen as she walked to the back of the class and over to where Miko was sitting. She eyed Miko as she picked up the notebook in question and looked it over apparently expecting the opposite of what had been claimed but given by the look of disbelief that took over her features on her face it was clear she had passed whatever exam the teacher appeared to be giving her as Miss. Brickwood gave the notebook back to Miko. "I must say this is rather surprising, but I do hope you continue this in the future instead of it being just a onetime thing." She said, then began to walk away.

Miko stared after the woman for a second before shrugging her shoulder's but remained quit. She could hear snickering across the room which had come from Sierra and her so called friend's causing Miko to furrow her brows in confusion. Why were they snickering, seemingly at her considering Sierra looked straight at her then had leaned over to one of her friend's, if they were nice to her in the lunchroom. Surely it was just her mind over thinking thing's. Maybe they weren't even snickering at her, maybe it was something completely different. That had to be it after all they were nice before and Miko hadn't given them any reason not to be or at least other than what she had done in the lunchroom beforehand. 

"You can consider me catching you falling asleep a warning though considering how you are leaving in a in a few days." Miss. Brickwood said, bringing Miko out of her thought's. Miko simply nodded which apparently was the signal for the teacher to continue her lessen as she then picked back up her dry erase marker and began speaking about the lesson once again. 

<><><>

After school Miko had decided to wait for Bulkhead to pick her up at the steps of the school but when he hadn't showed after ten minutes she decided to sit down on one of concrete side railings and sketch in her note book, the current moment causing her to have a since of Deja Vu, that Deja Vu causing her to wince at the sudden pain in her head which had resulted in her grabbing her head with both hand's for a split second as several images, images she didn't remember, flashed through her mind. She ground in frustration as this was the second time this had happened though this time she luckily didn't pass out since she was able to register the sudden honking of a vehicle. She abruptly looked up and spotted Bulkhead's alt mode parked in front of the school. Gathering up her thing's {and also nearly dropping her stuff when she had stumbled} she headed over to Bulkhead and got in. 

The ride to base was unnerving for the wrecker. Sure he enjoyed Miko's company but the fact she had turned down hard mettle music the minute he had asked if she wanted the 'usual soundtrack' told him this wasn't the normal Miko which he had expected but a part of him had hopped she would be back to her normal, bubbly, and energetic self but seeing as she was quit and just sitting there, staring at her phone, it was obvious this wasn't going to happen. 

"So, uh, how was school?" Bulkhead asked, attempting to get her to at least talk or even just a plain response from her.

Miko was silently for a minute causing Bulkhead to wonder if something had happened. "It was fine." She stated after a moment then added, "A little weird but fine." 

"What was 'weird' about it?" Bulkhead asked after a moment of silence between the two. 

Miko didn't know why but she found herself explaining what had happened though out the day, though leaving out the weird visons at the end of the school day. She wasn't sure why, but something told her that Bulkhead had to have been important to her before or maybe it was just because he was just wanting to talk, something that not a lot of people {besides Sierra and her crew} had done. Bulkhead had listened, commenting on thing's every now and then. Before both new it they had arrived at base. Miko picked up her bag off the floorboard and attempted to try and make a mad dash for the human area but upon the sudden 'epp, epp, epp!' noise from Ratchet in the middle of doing so it was clear she wasn't getting out of the supposed 'check-up' from the Autobot Medic.

 Miko sighed dramatically as she stopped and turned around. "Why do I even need to be scanned, can't I just go, it's been weeks!" She complained, dropping her bag by the staircase and stomping back over to the medic's waiting servo who had then lifted her up long enough to scan her with a portable scanner then placed her back down on the ground as the device calculated the result's. In-between waiting Ratchet eyed {or optic'ed} Miko as if he was trying to decide if what she had said about being fine was right. Finally, the small device let out a ding causing him to look at it. 

"Well?" Miko asked impatiently. 

"Go refuel." Ratchet stated walking away without another word which was a shock to Miko, usually she would be getting an earful about something that was supposedly wrong with her. 

At the realization at what he had said though she grounded in frustration. "But-" She began but was cut off by said medic who had stopped and turned his helm long enough to look at Miko. 

"Fowler dropped off some food it's in the human area. You're not leaving base until you at least try." He stated firmly. 

Miko huffed in annoyance as she rolled her eyes and stomped up to the human area. "But what if I throw up and-" She suddenly asked, turning to lean on the protective railing with a smug smile on her face as she had thought she was about to get out of eating but was cut off by Ratchet once more. 

"There's a trashcan up there." Miko heard Ratchet call from the med-bay causing her smile to fall and a frown to appear. 

"Fine!" She stated, dramatically once again, as she headed over to the sofa. 

In front of the sofa was a coffee table which had a plastic sack on it which was filled to the brim with food. After a few minutes of looking, she settled on a bag of chip's deciding that maybe if she started out small it wouldn't be so bad. Her hope was met but nearly twenty minutes after eating the bag of chip's she found herself leaning over the trash can. Ten minutes after that {and after she had gotten some strength back} she walked over to the protective railing. "I tried and Failed!" She yelled in frustration. Miko was frustrated that she could be a normal human being and eat something as little as a bag of chips, she was frustrated that she didn't know what was wrong with herself, and she was frustrated for not knowing what to do at all. With a soft sob she stumbled over to the couch and sat down. All she wanted was what Jack and Rafael had told her, to go back to before her accident where everything made sense, where she could eat properly, and act like her 'normal self' whatever that was any way's. She was tired and frustrated of her current life situation and wanted nothing more than to just crawl into bed and never crawl out again. Wiping away some stray tear's she laid down on the couch, holding the one throw pillow to her chest as she did so and somehow by the grace of whatever god was watching her, fell asleep.
