could it just be build up or sumthing on the rotors since i haven't driven it for 4 months while at school? and it should go away after a bit of braking?
cause it doesn't do that when i brake hard... -------------------- |

Any buildup should disappear after your first hard brake. Generally if you leave your car sitting the rotor metal will rust, but it'll all disappear the first time you brake. The sound going away when you brake hard is consistent with the wear indicator. Check your pads, if this is new to you see the photo below. The object on the right is the caliper with two pads that have about half an inch of thickness left. If there's not much pad between the metal plate and your rotor, you definitely need to replace the brakes. And that should fix your noise problem.
