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 may 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.
