Chapter 10

As soon as I arrived home I was throwing stuff into boxes, clothes, books, laptop, Ipad, Ipod, purse, money, ID, college dorm stuff I had bought. After three hours I went to talk to Bee and Sam. Sam didn't know yet that Bee was coming with us. As I was heading over I heard Bee fire his canons. I ran the rest of the way there. "My house is on Fire! I'm not living with a psychotic alien in my garage!" I heard Mrs. Witwicky yell as I came into the yard. The yard was a mess and the house was almost completely destroyed. I headed for the garage.

I found Bee in the garage hitting himself in the head. "Yeah you know you're trouble," Sam said and Bee made a sad whirring noise.

"He's having voice problems again?' Mikaela asked. Bee gave a sad whir.

"Playing it up, Bee I want to talk to you about the college thing," Sam said.

"I'm so excited. I just can't hide it," Bee started playing a song.

"I'm not taking you with me," Sam interrupted and Bee looked crest fallen. "I meant to tell you about this earlier," Sam said. I tried to stop him so I could tell him Bee was coming with us. He continued as though I weren't there. He then went on how freshmen weren't allowed cars, how he wanted to be normal and that he couldn't do that with Bee. At that Bee started to cry and I went up to him and put my hand on his knee. I again tried to stop him, so I could speak, again being ignored. "But you'll always be my first car, love ya Bee," Sam said leaving. I couldn't believe he said that to Bee. Sure when we first met he had no idea he wasn't a car, and Sam meant no harm by what he said, but it could be taken wrong.

"Hey Bee," I said sitting across from him. He looked at me, "Freshmen my not be allowed cars, but I'm going in as a Sophomore. I can have a car, you can come with me, if you want," I said. Bee started to practically dance in the garage. "Am I to take that as a yes?" I asked smiling.

"Hell yeah," Bee said using pieces of rap.

"Well let's go get ready to head to the airport. I'm all packed, I just need a lift," I said smiling as Bee picked me up transformed around me.

"Hey, where are you going with Bee?" Sam asked.

"He's coming with me. I'm going in as a sophomore. He can watch over both of us," I replied as Bee drove to my house. Once there I started loading my things into Bee's trunk. Within the hour I was on the road.

"You think you can be normal with me?" Bee asked.

"Of course Bee, and let me ask you a question, can you define normal? Not the literal definition that's in the dictionary," I asked. Bee remained silent for several minutes. I gave a silent smile. Humans had the same response. Once at the airport I asked Bee if he would mind taking my stuff up to the college with him. I didn't trust the airport to keep track of it all. He was happy to keep track of it all for me. If Mr. Witwicky hadn't bought me a ticket I would have gone with Bee. I didn't like being around so many people in a tiny space. As soon as we were boarded I made sure to sit between Sam and Judy.

I quickly fell asleep; I was still on Diego Garcia time. I would be switching time zones no more than 3 times in 24 hours. At some point I became aware of someone shaking me. "Allison, we're landing in ten minutes," Sam said. I slowly started waking up.

"I'm up," I yawned. Bee was meeting me there. Within minutes we were landing and I was trying to get off the plane without touching anyone, and failing. I managed to stay off my panic attack while working my way off the plane and out of the airport. The only thing I had brought on the plane with me was my phone. I made my way to the bathroom telling Sam and his parents that I would meet them on campus. Once in the bathroom I freshened up a bit and took care of business.

On my way out I stopped to wash my hands and look at myself in the mirror once more. I looked tired, dark bags under my eyes, my clothes disheveled, and my hair was a mess. I had cleaned up the best I could and sighed leaving the bathroom. I made my way to the parking lot and started to look for Bee. Not seeing him and wanting to get where people would stop bumping into me and stepping on feet I pulled out my pendant to use the Commlink. "Hey Bee I'm out front of the airport," I said trying to remain calm.

"I'm a few minutes out," I heard over the Commlink, and it sounded like several song phrases strung together. I paced those few minutes that I waited for Bee to come and get me. Pacing was my way of staying off panic. As soon as Bee pulled up I got in and I took a deep breath as the seat belt slid into place fastening itself. "Hey, you'll be fine," Bee said trying to make feel better.

"Thanks Bee," I said. 45 minutes later Bee was pulling into the parking, into his own space. I had called ahead to reserve a parking space for myself, and for the Auto bot that came with me.

"You get your own spot?" Bee asked.

"Yeah," I replied smiling getting out of driver's side. I went around to the trunk as it opened and started pulling stuff out. I grabbed my book bag, throwing it over my shoulder and grabbing a box, I made to close the trunk as a blonde haired boy came up beside me and grabbed a box. "Thank you," I said not realizing it was Bee. He then hummed and I looked at him, "Bee?" I asked.

He nodded closing the trunk. I made my way to the dorms, and thankfully I was bunking alone. I had explained to the college about what had happened to me about 6 months ago and they agreed to give me my own room. I headed for the third floor as I found the dorm building, Bee hot on my heels. I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket and read it. We would be more than happy to give you your own room given your past. The dorm building is on the south east end of the campus. The dorms are on the third floor while the cafeteria is on the second and the wreck room and pool are on the first. Report to the desk on the first floor to get your key and internet access information. We sincerely hope that you learn a lot from us and enjoy your stay.

I picked up my key to room 320 and headed for the elevator. Bee hummed again trying to tell me something. I wasn't sure what he was trying to tell me. "If you want I could teach you sign language so that when you're in holoform at least some will be able to understand what you're trying to say," I offered. He nodded eagerly. "We'll start later tonight," I said. Once off the elevator I headed towards my room and the hallway was milling with people. I took a step closer to Bee. All the auto bots could touch me in their holoform and their true form. As I took a step closer to him Bee let out a comforting hum, "Thanks Bee," I said.

We quickly found my room and opened the door. There was a bed against the window, a desk, a small fridge and a couple of cabinets. I set my stuff down and went to get more of it as Bee followed. Bee and I grabbed the last four boxes and headed up the stairs, barely able to see where we were going over the two boxes that each of us carried. "Wow, this, this is a co-ed dorm," I heard a familiar voice say.

"It's just like Hogwarts," I heard another familiar voice.

Then I heard Sam, "You want to meet my roommates. They're real swell guys." He didn't sound excited. I walked by him as he and his parents went into his room.

As I walked by I hollered at him, "Sam, I'll see you in a few." I walked back to my room and set my stuff down. I put my water in the fridge, and set up my desk with my laptop, Ipad, and Ipod. I put my phone on the night side table and started to make the bed. Bee was putting my books and bathroom stuff in the cabinets. In 20 minutes both of us had my room done. "Thanks for all your help Bee," I said.

Before he could reply I heard Mrs. Witwicky's voice come down the hall, "I can eat all the freaking brownies I want." I looked at Bee with a look of omg on my face. I walked out of the room with Bee right behind me. I locked up and headed for Sam's room. He was out in the hall holding a box still as whom I assume was his roommate came up to him saying something about beautiful ladies in Spanish. Then he started acting weird and looking at someone over my shoulder. I looked and grabbed Bee's wrist. It was a Decepticon, a pretender. When I voiced this to Bee I felt him shake slightly. Then I went to go and help Sam with his stuff in his room. Bee left to report to the others that we had a Decepticon on campus. Soon I heard Sam's mother's voice coming in the open window of Sam's room. She was doing a pretty good job of embarrassing her son.

Sam and I ran down the stairs to meet her and try to get her stop. Moments after we arrived Mr. Witwicky came up beside her. "Frisbee!" Mrs. Witwicky yelled running off and I immediately followed at top speed. Sam tried to act as though he didn't know her, as Mr. Witwicky and I pulled off Mrs. Witwicky off the student she had tackled. Mr. Witwicky threw her over his shoulder asking Sam if he had the booties.

"Dad! I got the booties," Sam said waving him over.

"I'm upside down," Mrs. Witwicky said.
