Acknowledgments where they belong: Ninnasims3- Title is all her doing. So is the entire idea for this. Had it not been for her I would still be in my funk of complete and total Writers Block. while the plot and everything about this story is mine I have a oneshot written with a scene from her story woven as my own (her permission granted that is) and from that oneshot this story was derived. So it's all thanks to her that I have this. Check her and her stories out!
P.S. I own transformers... I don't care what legality says damn it! Fine whatever, Bay owns this not me. I think. I honestly don't care to remember who owns transformers but this story is purely mine :P
Chapter One: October in May
"October?" a brunette woman called. she was a beautiful teenage girl that had just finished high school along with her boyfriend. Behind her stood her boyfriend who claims to be still waiting on his growth spurt. though he did have five inches on her most times due to her disinterest in heels. "Sam, I'm going to go get her."
"No," Sam said and wrapped his arms around her waist refusing to let her go, "she's a big girl, Mikaela. Let her dress herself." he softly laid a kiss to the back of her head.
"Ha, ha, ha, Sam. you're so freaking funny." A new girl said leaning against the door frame. Her golden copper hair caught the light just right to make Mikaela thing of the copper wiring she needed to finish for her stereo. Sam just noticed her russet colored eyes roll to emphasize her sarcastic remark. "I just need to put sun screen on then we can go." She said.
"Why do you need sun screen?" Sam asked even as he released Mikaela so she could help October put the lotion on. "It's only like seventy out."
"Okay do me a favor, look at your skin tone, look at her's" October nodded towards Mikaela, "now look at me. I'll burn to a crisp in ten minutes." Indeed Sam looked. He had a nice tan while Mikaela was a light mocha color. October on the other hand really lived up to her name sake. Her hair was like the dying leaves with her bark colored eyes. Skin as white as the chilly bite that the month gave off. With such pasty skin she would indeed 'burn to a crisp in ten minutes'.
The lotion was on and outside they went. Sam's bright yellow chevy sat right in front of her small house, or as Sam called it shack, with two bikes on the tailgate. October never said anything as Sam told his car 'see ya later buddy' even though she had found it odd at first. Then she had figured every person had their quirks, that was just Sam's. Hers was letting her fingers trail over a pile of rocks and kissing the top one before returning it to the pile. Her loyal pet had recently passed on and this was her grave.
Opening her empty garage, well empty of a car, she took her bike out and hitched up the small trailer. She used to be a babysitter for several families so she had gotten a baby trailer attachment for going to and through the park. Now she just used it to put her bag along with the picnic basket into to make biking to the park easier. The three friends put everything they had into her trailer and got ready to go. Sam was the only one that bothered with a helmet. Until he pleaded enough with Mikaela to put hers on that she gave in just to shut him up.
October found it cute. Not the pathetic pleading or her giving in, but that he cared about her of them had just graduated High school and were taking a year break before college. Well Sam was, the girls were forgoing higher education. October because she was rich, her grandfather had been rich up until the day his heart gave out and willed everything to October including his large estate that her family rented dirt cheep from her. She did odd jobs but was literally set for life, three times over. It was because of that vast amount of money that had fallen into her lap that she had only these two friends and envied their relationship. Love, or the teenage equivalent of it, she wanted.
Being rich as a young teen she easily saw how people wanted to use her so she became shy and stopped talking. Mikaela had been her gym partner from ninth grade until graduation but they had become friends before October even opened her mouth about anything money wise. With Mikaela came Sam, due to their relationship, so these were the only two friends she had. October wished for more than a friend. Or rather a friend that was not only just a friend.
Shy little October wanted love but for now she would be content to sweatily bike up this hill with her two friends. Cars and her, well they just didn't get along. Not since her father had died in one at least. she could easily ride in one with someone but put her behind the drivers seat and she began to freak. Besides biking and being outside was better for her health.
Behind her October could hear her friends talking. "Hey, Toby," October grasped the wrong bike handle break and held it so tight that had it not been for her trailer she would have went over the bars.
"Call me that one more time and I'll remove a piece of your anatomy." Before people wanted to use her for money they had made fun of her. Moby Toby, so what she hadn't always been so thin? The reference to Moby Dick did surprise her slightly though. Who had known her class mates even knew who that was! But even so Toby was still a sore spot.
"Whatever," Sam grumbled catching up to her and stopping next to her. and stopping to take not only a breath but a drink from the water bottle connected to his bike. He offered it to her and Mikaela. Accepting it she took a gracious drink then passed it on, "we were wondering if you wanted to meet a few of our friends? They're not exactly like normal people so we were thinking maybe you guys would get along," we being him and Mikaela.
"I- I don't know," October muttered. She had long since been not good with people. If anything she'd make a fool of herself and her friends.
"Just meet them, please?" Mikaela asked. October mutely nodded. She was a sucker for doing what her friends wanted. All either had to do was ask and she would say yes. If Sam had asked her to meet their friends she would have said yes, but he had asked if she wanted to. "Cool, how tired are you two? Cause the base is only an hours bike ride from here."
Sam groaned and October took a small bottle of sunscreen off it's key hook to slather more on. she hated getting burned so if Mikaela was going to make them take an hour long bike ride she was taking no chances with turning her white skin lobster red. "Can't I just call Bee? Can't he drive us?"
"Man up Sam," Mikaela ordered then began to lead the way. Half an hour later Sam was falling way behind. This lunch picnic is not what she had expected.
Speaking of which, "You want a cold water, Mikaela?" October asked as they once again stopped to wait for sam to catch up. Unzipping the sides of her enclosed baby trailer she took out her insulated lunch bag. In the bottom was water with two ice packs and five waters she shoved in. Taking two she passed one to her friend and opened her own.
"Water~" Sam moaned as he caught up and Having drank half of hers already October passed it to him. They were so going to get Mono one of these days. Sam chugged the rest of her water and tossed the garbage back to october who put it into the trailer. Mikaela finished what she wanted and passed it to Sam. He finished hers too and the same happened with that bottle. "Do we have to? I can so still call Bee. He's got AirConditioning, Mikaela~" he tried to reason then it turned into a whine when Mikaela ignored him and continued to pedal forward.
October just gave her friend a shrug then continued to bike. Sam was so out of shape compared to the two girls! While he drove everywhere, Mikaela did walk and bike nearly weekly and caught rides with him, and October walked or biked daily. She also jogged a lot too, she used to be on the schools track team and she missed it. This bike ride was nothing compared to her normal schedule it was just that the sun was going higher up and, checking her phone that was mounted onto the handle bars of her bike, the temperature was riding with it. An hour ago it had only been seventy, now it was seventy-eight and going up.
