New school-ATS

Alice Gone Madd: oh Mikaela is staying! I hated Carly! She was such a wimp compared to Mikaela! Mikaela kicks butt!
After landing at the Philadelphia airport Mr. Ron rents a rental for us. It's one of those huge van types with lots of space so we can fit both everyone and the luggage. After driving for a little while we arrive at the school, and I am immediately engrossed by it. Mr. Ron parks and we all get out.
"Oh wow. Can you believe this place?! Oh, I feel smarter already! Ron can you smell it?" Mrs. Judy asks while basking in the college's feel.
"Yea it smells like $40,000 a year." Mr. Ron says sarcastically.
"Ok cheap-o." She replies sharply.
"Hey kids, why don't you go and find your room and we'll bring your stuff in." Mr. Ron suggests.
"Are y'all sure?" I ask.
"Yes sweetie go on. " mom encourages.
With that said Sam grabs one of his boxes while I grab one of my duffle bags and we head towards our new dorm. Crazy enough we are staying in the same dorm since it's co-ed. What's even crazier is that we are on the same floor. I'm closer to the stairs while he's more into the hall by the bathroom.
"I'm gonna drop my bag off at my room and I'll catch you at yours ok?" I tell him.
"Alright. Maybe I'll meet my new roommate. Catch ya in a bit." He replies. We then turn our separate ways.
I find my room, which is room 305, and walk in. Once in I see a girl with long blonde hair wearing a really short dress setting up the side against the wall by the door.
She hears me come in and turns to me. For some reason I get a weird feeling when I look at her, like I should watch out for her. I shake out of my thoughts as I greet her,"Hello. You must be my new roommate. I'm Averie Poe."
She walks over and shakes my hand while saying,"I'm Alice. Nice to meet you. My apologies for setting up but I was hoping my new roommate wouldn't mind that I took the wall bed."
"Oh it's no problem at all. I actually prefer being by a window, so this works out perfect." I reply. I lay my bag down on my bed and inspect my new room. It's a relatively good size with a big walk in closet, where I notice her clothes hanging up. Most of which are suggestively short or low cut. But I don't judge.
When I walk out of the closet Alice asks me,"So are you a transfer or a first time freshman?"
"First time freshman. How about you?" I ask.
"Sophomore. Transferred." She replies.
I nod at the information. Silence fills the room so I say,"Well, I guess I better get the rest of my junk in. It was nice meeting you."
"You too. We should exchange schedules when you get back. Maybe we have some classes together." She suggests.
"Sounds good. Catch ya later." I reply before walking out. I walk around the corner and down the hall a bit until I reach Sam's room number, which is 312. I walk in a see Sam talking to a tanned, curly brown headed guy.
I catch the guy chuckling before saying,"Not a chance."
"Sam?" I ask making my presence known.
Both boys turn their attention to me, both with different expressions. "Hey Av. Got settled in? Meet your roommate?" He asks.
"Yes to both. She seems cool." I reply. I then nod to Sam's roommate and ask,"I'm guessing this is your roommate?"
"Uh yea. Averie this Leo. Leo this is Averie." Sam states.
"Hi. Nice to meet you." I greet.
"Hola señorita. Are you Sam's girlfriend?" He asks.
"No no. I'm just his friend. We're were actually neighbors for a few years and went to the same high school. Now we're at the same school." I state.
Leo seems to look relieved and says,"Then might I say that you are a beautiful young woman."
I laugh nervously and say,"Uh thanks."
Leo then exclaims,"Woah!"
"What?" Sam and I ask.
Leo looks nervous and awed as he stares, and I realize what it is. Since everyone stares. "Sorry to stare it's just..."
"It's okay I'm used to it." I reply.
"I've never seen a prosthetic like that before." He states.
"It's a new model they were testing, and it turned out to be a really good one." I say.
"So uh...what happened? If you don't mind me asking?" Leo asks.
Having been asked a lot I have a good story. "I was on vacation in California and I went out into the water to surf. While I was sitting there a bloodied fish swam by, but I didn't think much of it. Then out of nowhere a huge shark comes by. It smelled the blood and thought I was the fish and tore my leg off from the mid thigh down. "
"Wow." Leo says in awe. "Well I'm sorry that had to happen, but if I may you pull off that leg perfectly."
"Thank you for thinking so." I say.
Leo then turns to Sam and asks,"Oh yea, are you a techie?"
Sam nods his head.
"Sweet." He replies. He then turns to me and asks,"Would it be too much of a miracle to ask if you are too?"
"I never leave the house without my laptop and iPad, so that should answer your question." I reply.
His eyes widen as he says,"You...are the perfect woman...follow me." He then walks into the next room and Sam and I follow him. The room is full of computers, a soda machine, and posters of girls. There's also two guys on the computers.
"Sharskey Fastman where we at?" Leo asks the two guys.
"It's almost online Leo." The African American boy says.
"We're up and running." The white guy with the beard adds.
"That's what I like to hear. That's Sharskey." Leo points to the African Amereican guy. "That's Fastman." He points to the beard guy.
"Guys that's Sam and that..is Averie." Leo introduces.
The two guys look in shock and awe at me, like they've never seen a girl before. Well, these guys probably haven't.
"Their I.T gurus. Welcome to my empire bro and lady. I'm sure you've heard of it." Leo states.
I shake my head and say,"Never heard of it."
They seem to deflate as Fastman says,"That sucks."
"What is all this for?" Sam asks.
"Look call me gross but I'm gonna be a baby billionaire. Kitten calendars. Its where I started and look at me now. gotta have dreams bro." Leo says while holding up calendars with cats on them."
Fastman suddenly says,"Leo we got some new Shanghai bit."
"Post it baby. Go go go. FTJ. FTJ." Leo says.
"What exactly is FTJ?" I ask.
"Fuel the jet. Fuel the jet." Leo answers.
We watch as Leo watches a video from the Shanghai event that happened a couple of days ago. The one that the Autobots were at. "China calls it a gas leak but don't believe the hype." Leo says.
"Just like the alien robots two years ago that everybody covered up." Sharskey states.
"Yea I saw these robots and they did this firing thing and they came down and toasted this woman." Fastman adds.
Knowing they need to be secret Sam and I do our part. "It looks fake to me." Sam says.
"Dude, it's not fake! The internet is pure truth. The video doesn't lie." Fastman argues.
"It looks fake." Sam replies.
"No! I've seen them. Their like robots!" He adds.
"Guys! Techies do some crazy work like that all the time and that's all that is. It's just special effects from a guy whose probably fourty years old and lives in his mothers basement." I state.
"Besides we weren't there. So we can't comment or speculate." Sam adds.
"Comment or speculate? And we're supposed to go habitat? No! Don't be sucking the sack bro." Leo says.
"What sack?" Sam asks.
"The ball sack." Sharskey says.
"Dude! What kind of Intel are you?" Fastman asks.
"The mainstream media sack. Their lying to us alright? It's aliens you two...follow me." Leo says walking over to a computer.
We follow him over as Fastman says,"Uh oh. Leo, bad news we just got scoped. The videos already up on GFR."
Leo sighs in aggravation. "Robo warrior is our main competition on conspiracy stuff. F-ing was my ideal he stole it. He's been leaking into my sight and thieving hints forever. By the way I read your file. I'm poor your poor. We're gonna fix that alright. You work for me now."
I laugh at that.
Sam then says,"I work for you now? That's incredible. First day of college and I got a career in a dinky internet firm with a boss who is made up of just pure champion stuff."
Leo stands up as he says,"You mocking my life's work Samuel? Don't make me sick Sharksky and Fastman cause I'll do it!"
"Sam, let's let everyone cool down." I say while pulling him out of the room.
He doesn't stop there at runs out into the hall where he spots a worker and says,"Listen it's getting a little intense in my room can switch?"
"Oh sad face 312. No switching no trading. Let's turn that frown upside down." The lady says and continues to walk away.
Sam's parents as well as my mom walks up with our stuff. "This is co-ed? This is a co-ed dorm." Mr. Ron exclaims.
"Wanna meet my roommates? Their swell guys." Sam mutters.
"Hey mom while they do that do you wanna see my room?" I ask.
"Well of course. Lead the way." She says.
I lead her to my room where I notice Alice is gone. "Where's your roommate?" Mom asks.
"Who knows. So what do you think?" I ask.
"It's cute. Not very big though." She comments.
"Hey I'm here that's all that matters." I say.
I help her place all my stuff on the floor by my bed and she help me set up my stuff. Soon the bed has my covers on it and the walls have my artwork on them. I even place my cloths in the closet and my bathroom stuff in my own cabinet in the bathroom.
We then sit down on my bed as mom suddenly gets emotional. "Mom please don't."
"I can't help it. My baby girls at college and living on her own away from me." She says.
"It's not like I won't see you again. I'll come back for every break if I can." I say.
"Sweetie I just want you to know how proud I am of you. I know you'll do great. Just be careful okay, and if you go do parties then bring your own drink and never leave it unattended." She states.
"Don't worry mom I'll be careful. I'm not really into the whole party scene. Is much rather pop some popcorn and watch a good movie." I reply.
"That's my girl." She says before pulling me into a hug." I love you."
"I love you too mom. Let me know when you make it home." I say.
"I will." She says.
"And don't forget that Jazz will be there to pick you up when you get out of the airport back home." I add.
She places her fists on her hips and sarcastically asks,"Whose the mom here?"
"Sorry." I reply with a chuckle.
After having our heart felt moment we make our way to the car, where we assume Sam's parents are. When we get there we see...I'm not sure what it is. We see Mr. Ron carrying Mrs. Judy across his shoulder to the car while Sam carries her purse and the booties.
We walk over and ask what's going on, and Sam explains. I laugh when he's done and say,"I love your mom."
~TIME SKIP~
After the...interesting first day everything started to calm down. Using the com link number that Jazz gave me I sent him messages telling him about my school and what classes I'll be taking and etc. he's happy to hear from me and laughs at the enthusiasm I use.
Even though I've only been here for one day it's been good. Of course, I still miss Jazz. And I made sure to tell him that. He real sweet, not that he's ever not, and is constantly telling me how much he misses me and how his sparks hurts being away from me. He's been acting strange ever sense I left and I'm not sure why.
I haven't told him about my new roommate, just incase he worried. I try not to think about her too much. Sure she seems nice enough and she's very respectable of my things and doesn't take anything, but she just seems off.
Apparently we have pretty much every class together, and what weirdos me out is how Alice stares at me. It's like she's trying to figure out something that I can't see and it bothers me. But enough of that.
Currently I am setting my web cam because I got a request from Lennox. I was a little surprised by the message I received that morning but I won't question if that means I get a chance to talk to everyone. I had to assure them I was alone otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk to Alice has gone out for a while because of the party that's going on on campus.
Sam tried to convince me to come but I declined. I told him I'm not into the whole part thing, especially a college party at a frat house. Not my cup of tea at all. I finally get my web cam up and I am soon staring at the face of Will Lennox.
"Hey Av! How's college life?" He asks happily.
"So far so good, considering I haven't started classes yet. So how's military life?" I ask.
"Good good. I actually have some people who want a word with you." Lennox replies.
"Oh really? Who?" I ask with a smile.
Suddenly I see a silver face step in view of the screen. "Hey Darlin'!"
I laugh and say,"Hey Jazz. Back with the Autobots I see."
"Yes and getting on our circuits already." I hear a grouchy voice say.
"Hey Ratchet!" I yell hoping he hears me.
"Hello youngling. How has your leg been faring?" He asks.
"Good. I've already gotten popular with the attention it's getting." I reply.
"Don't see how with that plain silver color." I hear an arrogant voice say.
Immediately knowing who it is I say,"I quite like silver. Silver goes with everything, unlike yellow, which clashes."
He growls in aggravation and sticks his face in view of the camera. "Watch it human."
"Uh oh! I've made it mad. Duck and cover!" I exclaim in false alarm as I duck to the floor where they can't see me. I can hear laughter coming from multiple people. I sit back in my chair and see Sideswipe.
"Hey Av!" He exclaims.
"Hey Sides!" I reply in the same manner. "How's my favorite of the twins?"
He laughs as Sunstreaker scoffs.
"What's wrong Sunny? Jealous that your not my favorite? Tell you what, be nice to me and I'll consider you a possible candidate." I joke.
He scoffs and says,"Don't call me that! And Why would I care of your approval of me?"
"Because everyone else but you I like." I joke.
He glares at me but before he can reply Jazz pops back up. "Listen darlin' I'm afraid we got some bad news."
"What kind of bad news?" I ask. "Is everyone alright?"
"Oh no nothin' like that. Boss just wants a word." He replies.
Suddenly Primes face fills the screen. "Hello Averie. I'm sorry to have to bother you but I'm afraid something has happened and we need yours and Sam's help."
"Of course. So what's happened?" I ask.
"For safely measures I will not say over an unsecured network so I will be arriving tomorrow to explain everything. Bumblebee will pick you and Sam up and take you to the meeting point. I'm sorry to have to ask you of this." He explains.
"No no no. It's no trouble Optimus. I haven't even started classes yet so it's not like I'm busy with homework. So when's Bee getting here?" I ask.
"We will be arriving in a few hours." He replies.
"Alright. I'll wait at my dorm. Tell Bee to track my phone signal." I add.
"I shall...and thank you again Averie." He adds.
"What are friends for Optimus." I say.
He smiles at that. He and Bee then leave for the plane to take them nearby.
"Well we can't keep this line open for long, so say your hellos in a timely manner okay kid?" Lennox says.
I salute him and say,"Sir yes sir."
He and Epps laugh at that and turn it to the Autobots. I say hello to everyone and before long I'm talking to Jazz again. "Sure do miss ya like crazy darlin'."
"Me too. This day has been torture without you here!" I exclaim dramatically.
After talking for a few minutes we have to say bye so I shout loud enough for the Autobots to hear me,"Bye guys and gals! Love you guys!"
"Bye girl!" I hear the femmes say."love you too!" I also hear a range of goodbyes and love you's from the mechs after they get over the shock of hearing me say it. From Jazz I get a very different sounding love you from the rest...but I don't put much thought into it.
After cutting the link I wait for Bee to show up. After two hours my phone goes off. I check and see I have a new message from Bee. He's right outside. I grab my bag and my room key and meet him outside. I get in the drivers side and once the doors closed I greet,"Hey Bee. Good to see you."
"Good evening." His says using a news clip on the radio. He pulls out into the road and I give him directions to the frat house. Once we get there Bee parks in the bushes, with me getting onto him for that. He then starts flashing his lights and sounding his alarm to get Sam's attention.
"Hey hey! No need for that. I could have just walked in and got him." I tell him.
Suddenly Sam runs out and leans into the window. He's shocked at the sight of me and asks,"What are you doing?"
"Houston we have a problem." Bees radio says.
"Sam, you need to come with me and Bee. Official business." I state.
Suddenly a guy yells out,"Freshman!"
"Yea?" Sam asks.
"That your car in our bushes?" The muscled guy asks.
Sam tried to come up with an excuse. "Oh no it's uh-"
I lean out of the window so the guy can see me and I say,"Actually it's mine. Sorry about your bushes. An emergency came up and I need him to come with me. I promise to move quick."
Once the guy catches sight of me he smiles and says,"That's alright. Just use the driveway next time doll face."
I fake smile back and say,"You betcha." I turn to Sam and say,"Come on let's go."
He nods and gets into the passengers seat, but before we can leave Alice leans against the open window. "I love Cameros." She says suggestively.
"Sorry Alice in a bit of a rush. Have to talk later." I say.
"Come on Averie. How about a ride?" She asks in a weird I wanna devour you kind of way.
"Sorry. Maybe next time." I reply. I then quickly hiss at Bee to drive.
He pulls out and we are on our way to the meeting place.
~TIME SKIP~
Morning rolls around as we arrive at the meeting place, which runs out to be a cemetery...how quant.
Bee parks and Sam and I get out and walk over to the standing Optimus.
"You won't give me one day? You won't give me one day in college?" Sam asks with an attitude.
I elbow him in the gut as Optimus says,"I'm sorry Sam, and to you as well Averie, but the last fragment of the AllSpark was stolen. "
My eyes widen at that.
"What like Decepticon stolen?" Sam asks.
"We placed it under human protection at your governments request, but I am here for yours and Averie's help. Because your leaders believe we have brought vengeance on your planet, perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share." Optimus explains.
"This isn't my war." Sam argues.
"Not yet, but I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations lost." Optimus says sadly.
"I know and I wanna help you. I do, but I am not some alien ambassador. I'm a normal kid with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be." Sam says.
I look to him and say,"Are you seriously saying that? After everything we've been through together with them? After they saved our lives you won't even help them when they need it?"
"Look I'm sorry. I really am." He replies while walking back towards Bee.
"Sam. Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing." Optimus says.
"Your Optimus Prime. You don't need me." Sam says as he continues his way to Bee.
"We do. More than you know." Optimus replies sadly.
I stare after Sam in aggravation. I then turn back to Optimus and say,"Forget him Optimus. You can count on me. I'll help you in any way I can."
He looks grateful and says,"Thank you for sacrificing your time for us. It pains me for you to do so since you have already sacrificed so much for us already."
"The price of my leg for my friends life...I'd make the same choice any day." I reply.
"Thank you Averie. I understand your classes start tomorrow so I will not have you assist us at this point, but I will keep in contact with you." He says.
"You better, and don't worry. We'll get all this sorted out." I reassure. "Now I've been out all night and I'm exhausted so I think in gonna go back of my dorm."
"Of course. Have a pleasant recharge cycle Averie." He says.
"Thanks I will." I walk up to him and hug his foot as best I can and say,"Love you big guy. Bye."
He seems to look shocked at my words and is silent as I make my way back to Bee. Once in I keep silent as Bee takes us back to school.
"Gonna give me the silent treatment?" Sam asks.
I stay silent.
"Come on! I have a good reason for not wanting to help. So there's no reason for you to be mad at me." Sam rants.
"Good reason? You think rejecting your friends in their time of need just because you wanna play school boy is a good excuse?" I ask in aggravation.
"I just want to be normal. I would think you would want the same thing, since their the reason you lost your leg." Sam states.
I glare at him and say,"Let's recap Samuel. THe reason my leg is gone is not because of the Autobots but because of Megatron. He was the one to blow it to oblivion. Good grief, do you want me to give you my leg so you can have a real excuse? Is that it?"
"No it's not...I'm just...Urg! Just forget it. You won't understand." He replies.
Before I reply I see that we've made it back to our dorm. I give Sam a disappointed look and say,"Unlike you I'm not willing to throw them away that easily. I hope normal works out for you." With that said I get out of Bee and walk to my dorm room.
Well there you go! I'm sorry it's short but I hope to make the next one longer! Thanks again for all the reviews! I didn't imagine being close to 100 this fast! Let's see if we can reach 100 reviews, cause that would he awesome! Bye!
