Me: Yayyyy it's story time! Woo! Story time! Yay!
Sam: What's got you so excited?
Me: I just ordered a mother freaking pizza!
Sam: -.-
Me: With freaking breadsticks! Do you know how yummy that's going to be?
Sam: Can we just get to the story?
The Birds and the Bees
Chapter Four: The Technicolor Phase
"Sam, Seriously just give the glasses to the robots, I need to get going." I groaned, standing next to Mikaela. Our parents had both fallen back asleep, and Sam and I were now debating. More like fighting.
"You cannot go to that party!" he replied.
"I'm not a baby, and you're not my father!" I yelled, and Mikaela quickly covered my mouth and shushed me. I forgot for a second that we were currently upstairs from my sleeping parents. I sighed, nodded, and that seemed to let her know that I wouldn't yell anymore. "Sammy-babe, look you can come too. Right, Mikaela?" I asked, looking over at her for support.
She nodded quickly, looking over at Sam. "Oh yeah, I'm sure it will be fun." She said, and that seemed to be all he needed. Stupid brother. When I try to convince him he's not for it, but then offer opportunity to hang out with Mikaela and he's all for it.
So I loaned Mikaela some clothes suitable for the 'The Technicolor Phase' and helped my brother as well in the fashion department. We handed the glasses over to Optimus, and Bumblebee was permitted to take us. I sat in the back, by myself, starring out the window.
"Is something wrong?" the radio suddenly filled the car. The car had been completely silent until that moment, and somehow Sam and Mikaela seemed to know Bumblebee was talking to me because they both glanced back.
I glanced at the radio, my pale blue eyes blinking curiously which were currently framed in cat-like dark purple eyeliner, and thick black mascara with silvery glittery flakes clinging to the ends. "I don't know, I mean….this all just seems so unreal. Bee, you're a freaking giant robot that turns into a car." I said, running a hand through my hair. "I mean, what if wake up and find this all to be some dream?"
The car came to a screeching halt, and the engine revved. It almost sounded as if I had shocked him. A car behind us honked, and the car began to roll of yet again. "This isn't a dream, cupcake…" the char announced, "This is real whether you want it to be or not."
That's when I realized what I had done, and why Bumblebee came to such an abrupt stop. I had hurt his feelings. He thought I didn't want him to be real. "Oh Bee, I just don't want to lose everything that has been happening. Come on, this is the coolest thing ever!" I said.
Mikaela nodded, smiling. "I know what she means, this just…isn't something that happens every day." She said, supporting me.
Bumblebee was quiet, as if he was thinking it over. I was never one for quiet situations, so I focused on starring out the window once again. My mind wandered to when Bumblebee transformed in front of me. All the gears winding and snapping into place. It was like I was living in a fucking Disney Movie. Okay wait, they don't curse in Disney movies. Don't they usually sing in Disney Movies? I was pretty sure Optimus wasn't going to burst out into song and dance anytime soon.
"Yo, Kate. We're here."
I jumped, looking up at my brother with the expression of a deer caught in the headlights. He cocked a curious eyebrow, and I rolled my eyes. "Gosh give a girl a warning before you give her a heart attack." I said sarcastically, the door opening automatically for me thanks to Bumblebee. At least I knew he wasn't mad at me, that, or he was just a gentleman. I stepped out, small strands of my hair immediately caressing my face from the night breeze. The thing I loved the most about these types of 'Raves' is that they were outside. I didn't like being cramped up in a dark room with a bunch of people dancing around me. I placed a hand on my hip, leaned against the car, gazed around, and then smirked.
"Hey! Kate! Whoa is that really you!"
I looked up, my pale eyes focusing on a figure running towards us. When they were close I realized it was Danny. "D-Danny?" I whispered, then mentally cursed for stuttering.
"Come on Sam, let's go." I heard Mikaela whisper, and despite my brother's protests, he was dragged away.
Danny was finally directly in front of me, giving his normal knee-weakening grin. There was no doubting the boy was attractive. He had my skin tone, with jet black hair that fell to his shoulders. His bangs covered a part of his right eye which were an extremely light brown with these weird orange flecks. He was muscular, and was always wearing skinny jeans and some form of tight t-shirt. "Hey Kate…" he whispered, now smirking, "you look…more amazing than usual. I never thought that could be possible."
"Thanks." I whispered, tucking a few loose strands of hair behind my ear. Thanks? That's all that I could come up with? Stupid.
Though he seemed to find my stupidity funny, because he laughed. "Come on, I'll take you to my stage." He said. God his voice was so sexy! He gently took my hand, intertwining our fingers and at that moment Bumblebee's engine blared to life. I was able to feel it since I was still leaning against the car, but Danny thankfully couldn't hear it over the loud blasting music of the Rave. I eyed the car curiously as Danny lead me away. "Is something wrong?" he asked, glancing back at me. It reminded me of when Bee had asked me the same thing not too long ago.
"Everything's fine." I replied with a smile, just as we approached his stage. The DJ that was currently working smiled at him, then took of his headphones.
"Whoa, who's the girl Danny Hell." The man asked, eying me over. I gave a slight glare, and Danny chuckled.
"This is Kaytlin." Danny said, now removing his hand from mine and putting an arm around me.
"Man, don't let Jenny see this one." The man said, handing over the headphones to Danny who was smirking.
Jenny? Who the freaking hell was Jenny? Danny seemed to notice my sudden curiosity because he nudged me slightly. "Don't worry about it blue eyes." He whispered. 'Blue eyes'. He had been calling me that since our first conversation my first day of sophomore year.
"This is stupid." I groaned, folding my arms over my chest. "Will you just relax." My brother responded, trying to calm me down. I sighed, gazing around the auditorium. I didn't understand why we had to have a pep rally the first day of school. I certainly wasn't too full of pep the first day of school. "Are the vending machines open?" I whispered.
"Probably, oh get me a coke." Sam said.
"Do you have coke money?" I retorted.
"No."
"Then you're not getting a coke." I said, then got up, managing to make my way down the bleachers and through the plethora of people. When I reached the vending machines, there was no one else around. That was a nice change. I pulled a few dollars from my pocket, slipped in the machine, then eyed the coke. With a sigh, I pressed the code and got the beverage for my brother. Hey, I was a nice girl. Sometimes.
Then as I looked at the coke I had bought for my brother, I suddenly had a craving for one. With another sigh I paid for yet another coke.
"Wow you must really like coke."
I practically jumped out of my skin. When I turned around I spotted a guy who had to be about my age. He grinned at me, leaning against the other vending machine. "How long have you been standing there?" I snapped, but he didn't seem to be bothered by harsh tone. He was gazing at me as if he was stuck in a daze.
"Wow…" he whispered.
"Wow, what?" I snapped again but that didn't seem to bother him either.
"You have nice eyes." He said, now grinning again.
My whole aura and expression at that moment. I finally realized how attractive he was, how nice his tone was, and how cute that smile was. "Thank you?" I whispered.
"Can you see clearly?" he asked.
I groaned. Why did people think I was blind? I knew my eyes were pale but gosh, really now? "What, because I look blind?" I asked, my harsh tone returning.
"Uh, no. Because you asked how long I've been standing here and I was clearly here when you walked in." he said, and I immediately blushed. He was one of the only person to ask if I could see clearly, and didn't mean the color of my eyes.
"Oh shutup!" I responded with a smirk, brushing past him.
"I hope to see you around blue eyes." He said just as I stepped past him. I froze, glanced over my shoulder, and met his gaze. I gave a small smile, then walked away.
Flashing back into reality, I looked over at Danny who was now in full on DJ mode. I smiled, bobbing my head to the beat of the pulsing music. He looked over at me and grinned, pulling me closer. However there was one thing still one thing on my mind. Who the hell was Jenny?
I got my answer sooner than I expected.
A dark haired girl popped on stage out of the crowd, wrapping her arm around Danny's free one. "Hey Jenny." He said. She kissed his cheek, and he looked over at her with a small smile. At that moment when he turned to her, she planted a kiss on his lips.
They were dating.
He broke away. Not harshly, but it was clearly because I was standing right there. The girl, Jenny, seemed to notice me and glared immediately. "Who is this?" she asked rather arrogantly.
"A girl who's leaving." I responded in an overly harsh tone.
"Kate, wait-."
"No…I can see you're busy. I'll talk to you later, kay." I said in the nicest tone I could possibly pull off at the moment. After giving a small smile, I stepped off the platform and disappeared into the darkness, glowsticks, and crowds of people.
I somehow made my way back to Bumblebee, but by that time I had seemed to collect a few tears along the way. Heartbreak was never a fun experience. I opened the door on my own, slipping into the backseat. The door closed on its own and immediately locked. Bee stayed quiet, letting me get out a few sniffles as I wiped my eyes. Once I was silent as well, I could see the radio turn on. "I know this pretty rave girl…" the radio played softly. I smiled, then sniffled again.
"Is her name Jenny?" I responded smartly, but he seemed confused. Obviously, because he didn't know who Jenny was.
"No, its you." Bumblebee responded.
I smiled at the radio. He was a sweet robot alien er- thing. "Thanks Bumblebee." I whispered.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Oh it's nothing, Bee don't worry. It's just a guy." I responded.
"That guy you left with?"
"Uh, yeah him." I whispered, surprised he had been paying attention. Well, he had revved his engine when Danny took my hand. What was up with that anyway. Bumblebee stayed silent for a while before a soft tune filled the car.
"You've had a lot of crooks try to steal your heart…never really had luck. Couldn't ever figure out how to love."
I blinked curiously, starring at the radio. What was he trying to say?
"I just want you to know….you're far from the usual…"
I wasn't sure why, but my heart had skipped a beat. Before I had a chance to ask Bumblebee what exactly was he trying to say to me, Mikaela and Sam knocked on one of the windows. I jumped, looking up at them with wide eyes. They pointed to the door, and I realized they wanted me to unlock the car. Of course I didn't have to because Bumblebee did it for me. The whole ride home was silent, and I was constantly glancing at the radio curiously. What did he mean by me being far from the usual? Was he just playing a song, or did he mean those words?
Me: I apologize for any typo's. I typed this up realllllly fast because I wanted to get it in before the pizza came. Why? I don't know but I did.
Sam: It's because you're a fat as-
Me: Hey Hey Hey now! Let's not be rude here little Sammy-Wammy.
Sam: God not you too -.- Kaytlin look what you started!
Kaytlin: It's not my fault Sammy-babe!
Sam: -.- Please Review.
