Chapter 4
School with the holomatters…
"Ho, ho, ho." I yawned as I stretched. I quickly changed my clothes, and climbed out of the car. Bumblebee and Sideswipe's holomatter's were already waiting on me.
"So Sarah what are our "new" names? Just so we won't be too suspicious." Bumblebee asked.
"Well the names on the transcripts were Ashley and Alexander Redwing, That's you and Sarah, and my name is Skylar McCarthy." Sideswipe didn't even give me a chance to answer. I rolled my eyes, and climbed back into the passenger's seat of my silver mech.
"We'll be late if ya'll don't hurry up. Nobody wants to be late on their first day." I answered.
Without thinking twice they listened and drove off for our first day of school to Rockcastle County High School.
Upon arrival, I placed the parking tag on the rear view mirror, Bumblebee's holomatter done the same. We walked casually into the brick two story building, as the other students had.
It didn't take long for me to find my old friends. Mainly because Katie ran up to us like she used to do to all of the new freshmen.
"Hi, my name is Katie. If you want you all can be our friend." She introduced.
Where was Sydney? I didn't see her any where. She couldn't have left after I went "missing". She was the reason I came here. I scanned the area in front of the gym.
"So what do you think? Do ya'll want to be our friend?" Katie asked grabbing back my attention. She hadn't changed at all. Still the same Katie who I think still liked Justin Thacker.
Sydney wasn't hard to find. She was all alone in a corner, reading, but to get to her I had to go by Nathan.
"Sure, but we'll only be here a few days." I responded. "Who's that?" I questioned nodding my head toward Sydney.
"Oh…That's Sydney." She snarled, she was talking so loud that Sydney looked up at her, then went back to reading "She is the one who we all blame my best friend's sudden disappearance."
"Really, what was your friend's name?" I asked, trying not to sound too suspicious.
"Sarah Saylor," she responded as if she had rehearsed it. "She was the ONLY person I could talk to as myself, especially about Justin."
"Oh, who's Justin?" I responded in an interested tone. With my full attention to Katie, I was unable to observe Sydney's actions toward us the "new" students.
"He's the boy with the brown shirt." She answered politely pointing toward Nathan's clique.
Sideswipe felt me tense up, put his arm around me, and whispered, "Try not to take him out on the first day."
I laughed at our position. All of the teacher's on hall duty were staring at us, with eyes of a hawk. "Sides, you might want to drop the touchy feely stuff till after school." I continued to laugh, while pulling his arm off of me. Katie had left us alone and was now talking to someone else.
I took Sideswipe and Bumblebee by the arm and dragged them to the main lobby, on the top floor, which is basically the area in front of the gym. We where right in front of Sydney when Nathan walked up.
"Hay sweet thing, have you ever been coon- hunting? I need someone else to go with besides my Cousin Sarah's papaw." Nathan flirted.
"She's already tak…" Sideswipe automatically responded but was cut short.
"Yes actually I have been coon-hunting." I answered Nathan, pushing sideswipe behind me. "And I guarantee that I'm a better coon- hunter than you!"
"Well I guess will see about that, how does tonight sound?" He asked.
"I…Well I really don't know let me get back to you on that, but while were at, it I was just wondering…who's Sarah?" I sincerely answered trying not to get agitated, but also really wanting to know what his answer was.
"Oh, well she was this really sweet girl who I completely blew it on. I was probably the one who made her leave. I went out with this one girl named Ashley just to make her jealous but she was just really supportive. One of her friends last year, told me that she liked me. I thought that I had a chance with her but, I just made things worse. I'm sorry that I'm telling you my life story…when you have a chance tell me your answer about hunting and we'll see who the best is." He described, and I just gave him a confused look.
How could I have been so blind? But that didn't matter any more, because I was over him. I think…
"Yea, I get back to you on that…" I mumbled, walking away, still confused.
Finally I was to Sydney. Tears were welled up in her eyes, when she looked at me with her black hair, and blue eyes. I noticed she was reading Romeo and Juliet, and was towards the end of it.
"Why are you crying?" I asked as she wiped away the tears and looked at us.
"I was reading this book and was just getting to the part where Romeo finds Juliet in the tomb and she appears to be dead and then kills himself." Sydney responded.
"Wow, seems like your really into books!" I exclaimed." I was wondering if you could show us around today. Were kind of new here and don't know our way around yet." I pleaded convincingly.
"Sure, my only two friends aren't here today so I'll probably have a lot of extra time on my hands today. By the way my name is Sydney Brown, you know like a crayon." She joked as she stretched out her hand for us to shake.
"Well, I'm Ashley Redwing, this is my fraternal twin bum- Alexander. Last but not least this is my boyfriend Skylar." I introduced as we all shook hands. When Bumblebee shook her hand something happened.
"Oh, wow!" Bumblebee exclaimed, pulling his hand away from Sydney's. "Skylar, can I please have a word with you." He asked grabbing Sideswipe's holomatter by the arm and releasing him from his grasp on my hand.
"Excuse me, Ashley? But my whole hand is numb! I can't feel any thing." Sydney stated.
"You'll get used to it. Now come on we'll be late for class." I said dragging her to our first block.
We had every class together, all thanks to "daddy". It turned out that when Bumblebee shook Sydney's hand that, his spark and her heart bonded like Sideswipe and I had. It wasn't completely official. When something like that happens, you're supposed to get it checked over with Ratchet; We just hadn't got around to it.
The day went bye pretty fast. We drove Sydney home, well Bumblebee did any way. We thought she was going to have a heart attack when she saw his Camaro. I talked to her parents later that evening and I told them that I was from a really private boarding school, and that our school was dying to have her join. Of course it was all the way in Seattle, but I still convinced them. For a little while I thought they were going to say no, because they were yelling and screaming at us. They finally gave in. So the next day we were taking her home with us and she would find out the truth about me being Sarah.
The Next Day…
You would think that the mech's would want to keep it low profile but no. When we arrived at school Sydney was already there. We stopped on the way, at her house to pick up her stuff. Instead of pulling in our parking spaces, we pulled into the parent drop off lane. Sideswipe told me to get out and stand on the sidewalk. So I did as he said and didn't take my eyes off of him.
Sideswipe and Bumblebee both transformed, and Sideswipe picked me up in his extremely large hand, and burst through the glass windows with the opposite of the side that I was near. Every one screamed in terror, as they saw us. Now we could accomplish what we came here for, maybe with a little twist.
I had been planning this day ever since I first heard about transformers, which by the way, Sydney had told me about to begin with. I jumped off of Sides extremely large hand, and rand straight over to Nathan, who was wearing a white old navy shirt.
"You may be a meany face but you never will leave my mind. Truly it's me Sarah." I spoke trying to hold on to him, keeping him from running away. Slightly I kissed him on the lips, and dashed away towards Sydney.
Grabbing her by the arm I quickly answered the question I knew she was about to ask me. "To be extremely honest, I'm the one and only Sarah. All of this is just for you. I can explain all this later just hurry up and get into Bumblebee." Syd almost passed out when I said Bumblebee; therefore I helped her all the way to the car, and skipped towards Sides.
