Let's Roll Out, Mate! [BOOK 1]

CHAPTER 7: FIXES AND TRYOUTS

Miko's p.o.v

I changed into my pajamas and slumped down on my bed. *sigh* Today has been kinda boring in my book. School was boring, homework was boring and I didn't even get to see the bots in action! They went off at some point to look for another mine filled with energy or energon or whatever. I wanted to follow but the Doc Bot closed the bridge before I could even get close!

Darn it. Looks like I'm getting sloppy huh?

I turned my phone on and saw at least dozens of messages from Evelyn. I sat up and looked at the messages. Some of them where from noon!

GymNast CuZ: Miko? You there? [2:10 p.m.]

GymNast CuZ: Hello? [3:00 p.m.]

GymNast CuZ: Miko, where r u? [3:01 p.m.]

GymNast CuZ: R u busy? [4: 25 p.m.]

GymNast CuZ: Miko, what's going on? Why aren't u answering?

GymNast CuZ: R u still at that Sci-Fi club?

GymNast CuZ: Seriously?! [4:40 p.m.]

GymNast CuZ: Do you guys have meetings EVERYDAY?!

GymNast CuZ: Miko, it's already 7. [7:00 p.m.]

GymNast Cuz: My god, does your club really last this long?

GymNast CuZ: What's going on? Why have you been ditching me lately?

GymNast CuZ: Why do you keep ignoring my messages? [7:26 p.m.]

GymNast Cuz: Hello? [8:12 p.m.]

GymNast Cuz: .....nevermind. See u at school tmrw.

{{7 miscalls}} {{2 voice messages}}

As I read the messages, I began to feel worse. How could I have been so dumb?! It's been two weeks since Eve's been here and I've been blowing her off.

I clicked on the first message and listened to it.

{{Hello? Miko...You there?........of course not. Look I just wanted to call to let you know that I'm goanna try out for the school's Gymnast team tomorrow but you don't have to come if you have to go to your 'Sci-Fi' club. It's ok. I understand. But what's going on? I studied hard so I could come here and hang out with you more but you've been more of a classmate and 'lunch buddy' more than the cousin who was like a sister to me. Look, just.....oh screw this. *duuuuuut*}}

Well that was a cheery message. I sighed and clicked on the next voice message.

{{Hey Miko, it's me...again. Look I just wanted to apologize if I was a little harsh earlier.}} She's apologizing to me? Well this just keeps getting better and better huh? {{Anyways, I'm not sure if you could make it but I figured I'd tell you anyways. The tryouts are tomorrow after school. If you want to come then let me know and I'll give you the details. Bye. *duuuuuut*}}

I leaned back against the bed post and sighed. Have I really been that bad lately? Have we really been growing that much apart? I then thought back to what I've been saying lately and how things have been going the past few days.

Flashback:

(Two weeks ago......)

"Hey, Miko!" Eve greeted to me as I met her at our lockers after school again.
