It was the last class of the day, but unfortunately that class was History and as usual, no one was paying attention and was too busy sending notes around to even notice what droll Mr. Jones was saying. 'Prefect, what a rubbish end to the semester..' I dully thought, blowing a hair out of my face and taking another sip of my water as I observed the idiots that surrounded me. It was quite a hot day, as usual here in South Gate, California and when there's a hot day, parties suddenly appear from the sky and it just never ends.

I hate parties. Gatherings really of any sort, I just end up fainting every time...but unfortunately today, my body didn't give up and I ended up being bored out my mind. But thankfully, no one tried to talk to me, usually because I bite their heads off or faint but not today, no. All the boys think that I am 'hot' and always invite me to dinner, but of course me being raised by one of the hottest girls in my father's time, I politely decline.

That is how I know that I am different to everyone else.

That I am not really attracted to anyone...I just don't find them physically or mentally attractive.

That bell suddenly rang, making me jump and accidently spill water over my face. 'Great!' I thought to myself as I cleaned up and gathered all my books. I ran down the corridor and burst out the doors, feeling the cool breeze on my face. I looked round, searching for the one car I was looking forward to see.

My face instantly gave into a wide grin as I spotted a bright yellow Chevrolet Camaro with black racing strips parked in the shade. I started to run towards it, attempting not to drop anything in the process.

"Hey! Bumblebee! Alise!" I yelled happily as I saw a figure get out and started waving back. I started to slow down and finally reached the Camaro, trying to catch my breath as I couldn't stop smiling at the face who smiled back at me.

I have known Alise Brown for as long as I can remember. She was there when I was born and is a friend of the family for what seems to be forever. She was like my big big sister, funny, pretty, and very skilled in the art of speaking languages, and I loved her.

"Hey Spark! Had a fun last day of the semester?" She grinned while she ruffled my hair.

"Ha, no. It was uneventful, like always." I smiled back, while opening the boot to put my stuff in.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Normally you are not at school half the time because of your fainting!"

I laughed and lightly gave her a punch on the arm. "Not my fault that I feel suffocated every time I am around a bunch of sweaty, spastic boys!"

Alise chuckled and opened to doors, "come on missy, let's get you home." I smirked and got in, getting comfy in the Camaro's leather seats as Alise drove away from my school. I was about to drift off into a tempting sleep when I realised something.

I looked at her, "Alise..Where's dad? And I thought you were working at NEST."

"Well, dad got held up with some serious stuff at work and your mother is on the plane coming home from her work in France so, you got me 'til tonight," She smiled back at me as we turned in at the Witwicky household and drove into the garage.

"So...you are here to babysit me? But surely Bee would be fine alone with me, and anyway...I'm not a little kid anymore!"

I crossed my arms and pouted as we got out, and walked up to the door. Alise saw my expression and chuckled, pulling me into a quick hug before we went in. "Oh Spark, Bee is just a big Camaro and you are only 15! You never know what might happen to you!" She ruffled my hair again and walked in, carrying my bags and putting them on the side. I followed her and jumped on the couch, still pulling that ridiculous pout and glaring at her.

I opened my mouth to protest, "But I feel safe with Bumblebee anyway, even if he is just a car. And yeah I am 15 years of age; old enough to start taking care of myself!" I huffed.

Alise stopped what she was doing and raised an eyebrow at me. I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous face she was pulling and I threw a cushion at her, catching her by surprise. It hit her square in the face, me laughing hysterically now at the shocked look and I fell off the couch, trying to regain myself from laughing when we both heard a ring at the doorbell. 'Now I would who that would be?' I amusingly thought to myself as Alise got up from the couch and walked to the door and opened it while I got up and brushed myself down.

Alise glanced back at me and yelled, "Look who's back from work!" and I ran towards the door, already knowing who it was.

My beautiful mum, Mikeala Banes, stepped in and as soon as she saw me, she suddenly dropped all her bags and her suitcase and opened her arms out towards me, a stream of tears rolling down her face.

A huge smile grew on my face instantly, and jumped into her arms, hugging her as tight as I could, smelling the comforting perfume on her clothes and felt a tear fall onto her shoulder. 'Oh god, am I crying? When did I start crying in front of people?' I suddenly wondered as my shocked self was drawn back so Mikeala could get a good look at my face. As soon as she saw the tear on my face, she chuckled and wiped it off with her sleeve. "When did you start crying in front of me, eh Sky baby?"

I looked at her, wide-eyed, "I don't know, maybe when my mum comes back from 3 weeks in France doing pit-stopping in car races!" suddenly losing the shocked face, I jumped on her, pushing her backwards onto the floor. Mikeala started to laugh hysterically as my leg accidently digged into her very ticklish hips, and I ended up being thrown around on the floor while Alise stood above us with a raised eyebrow and holding her hand over her mouth to stop out from laughing.

"You guys are so childish!"

I and Mikeala both pouted at her, while Alise went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. I sat up and crossed my arms while mum gave her the glare, "You are no better 'Lise!" I suddenly yelled, making both of them jump. I suddenly took the time they were recovering to jump up off the floor and run upstairs to get a special something that I bought a long time ago for my mummy's return.

I burst into my chaotic mess of a room and started to search for the present. 'Damn, I had it somewhere around here..' I mentally swore to myself as I turned everything upside down until I saw a little rectangular black box with a white satin ribbon tied on it. I snatched it up and manically grinned to myself, "here it is!" I caught my breath as I nearly tripped up and fell on my face on a cable. 'God damn it,' as I bent down to rub my poor, injured toes. After recovering quickly, I literally flew down the staircase and into the living room where I spotted Mikeala and Alise sprawled out on the couch, sipping from a glass of red wine. I gave them a huge smile, and bought out the little box in front of my mum. Mikeala sat up and put down her glass and covered her mouth from squealing out loud, "you got me a present?" she whispered as she looked up at me.

"Of course, why wouldn't I? I am your wonderful, angelic daughter as well" I grinned as she picked up the box and opened it.

Mikeala suddenly gave out a loud squeal which made Alise jump and spill her glass everywhere, as she carefully hung up the present I brought.

It was a silver chain with a diamond-encrusted locket which opened to reveal a picture of me and Sam, my father inside. Mikeala glanced up at me with tears of joy in her eyes and I held back a giggle from her reaction. "You, Skylar Elizabeth Witwicky, are the best daughter I can ever have!" She announced as I was pulled into one of her deathly bear hugs, nearly fainting in the process of course. Jeez, I have major claustrophobic problems.

Alise observed them from the other side of the room, sighing deeply. She could see the happiness, almost feel the happiness flow out of Sky and pass between the young girl and Mikeala. She stole a glance outside at Bee, (who was in his bipedal form), and looked sadly at him then at the two happy souls. Bee looked back and shared his sadness; he likes Skylar, she reminded him of Sam in many ways.

Alise turned back and frowned inside, 'She mustn't know. It is for her own safety...Sam wanted this for his daughter's safety so it needs to stay like that.'

So..here it is, the official first chapter of A Lonely Spark! I spent all day on this, and I hope you enjoy it because I certainly did!
