It was a bright sunny morning in the heart of Station Square. And it was also the start of a new school term for most teens and children. Recently, a new family have moved into the area and they were a family of hedgehogs. They had to move from their old home in Knothole due the mother getting a new job so they had to move and leave everything behind.

A lavender hedgehog was heading her way up the stairs at 6:00am to wake up one of her children for their first day at school. She walked over to the last door on the right and gently knocked on the door "Amy…Amy it's time to wake up"

She laughed a little when she heard a groan from the other side signalling that she was waking up. The lavender hedgehog was named Amanda and she was such a sight to see, long flowing quills that were hung up in a ponytail and bright jade eyes. She turned around and knocked on the door opposite "Quil…Quil wake up, it's school day" she giggled again as she heard another groan from her other child's door and she walked down the stairs to start making breakfast.

Both bedroom door's opened at the same time to see two hedgehog teens. One boy and one girl.

The male hedgehog was a dark pink hedgehog with lavender ears. He was wearing his bed pants as he stretched and opened his eyes to show off a nice shade of midnight blue, his slick quills were slightly slicked up as if they were his style. He yawned as he greeted his sister "Morning sis…"

The female yawned in response. She was a bubble gum pink hedgehog with quills that reached past her shoulders, bangs on her forehead that were stuck to one side and she was wearing a blue night dress that were past her knees and her eyes were a stunning shade of jade green that were shielded by a pair of red rimmed glasses "Likewise bro…"

Quil had let his sister use the bathroom first. Amy quickly brushed her bed mess quills and brushed her teeth after that. Now, she gets out of her night dress and gets changed. She leaves the bathroom dressed in a white button shirt with a red cardigan over the top, a red skirt, white knee high socks and black converse shoes.

She sighed with confidence "I hope my brains don't get the best of me…like they have done every time" she soon frowns. Every time she went to a new school, she tends to get bullied due to being so smart and she never makes many friends.

"I wouldn't worry about it, Ames" Quil said as he came out of his room, he was dressed up in a black t-shirt with a large music note on it, a white leather jacket, grey jeans and black converse shoes and he had his wireless headphones around his neck. "I will be there to keep an eye on you. You'll be fine, people are jealous on how smart you are" he gave her a comforting kiss on her cheek.

Amy just grinned at her brother as she walked past him "Oh? Like how you asked me to do your homework one time to impress a girl?"

He just blushed slightly and gritted his teeth. "H-Hey! Don't bring that up!"

Amy just laughed as she went downstairs to meet her mother along with Quil. Amanda was making some pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream, her ears twitched when she heard her children come downstairs. She smiled at them "Morning my dears!"

"Morning mom!" they both greeted with a smile also.

She placed two plates of pancakes in front of them. She loved making her kids happy by giving them their favourite breakfast. Soon the doorbell rang making the three hedgehogs look at the door, Amanda blinked and went for the door "Now, who could that be at this time of the morning?"

She opened the door and saw who it was "Oh come on in…Amy it's for you!"

Amy soon smiled as she saw who it was. "Hey Sally!" she got up from the table and hugged her with a smile.

Sally was a ground squirrel with brown fur and auburn red hair. She was wearing a plain white shirt, a jean jacket, black leggings and blue knee boots. She only had a little bit of make-up which was mascara, blue eye shadow and lip gloss. And her eyes a bright sky blue. She hugged Amy back "Hey Amy! I was wondering if you wanna walk to school with me? Your brother can tag along too"

Amy smiled again as she grabbed her bags, as did her brother. They both left saying bye to their mother and so did Sally. Both Amy and Sally met the other day and she offered to show Amy around the town and they soon became friends.

Quil was tagging with his sister and Sally to their new school: Emerald High

Soon they made it with exchanged smiles but Amy on the other hand…frowned. She was really nervous about this, starting a new school can be nerve wrecking for any new pupil. Sally placed a hand on her shoulder "Don't worry Amy, you'll do fine"

Amy gave off a shy smile at her friend as she took a deep breath and pushed her glasses up "Okay…I can do this!"

Sally waved good bye to them and she said that she will see them a lunch. Both Quil and Amy walked through the main hallway as they entered the building. This made Amy even more nervous, she saw students fighting against lockers, couples making out and so on. Both brother and sister made it to the reception desk.

The receptionist was a female cream bunny with brown markings and bright brown eyes. She smiled at the pair with the most friendliest smile you would ever see "Oh you must be our new students?"

Quil smirked with a chuckle "News travel's fast doesn't it?" even this made the rabbit giggle "We are here for our class schedules and books"

"Of course, I'll just get them" she smiled again and left her desk to go and receive the stuff they needed. Soon, she came back with a few books, time schedules and a locker key for each. "Here are your books! These are the keys to your lockers and your time schedules. I'm afraid that your bother can't attend you in your classes Miss Rose"

Amy bit her lip in nervousness. In her old school, Quil was allowed to attend her classes due to bullying issues in most of her classes. "O-Oh that's okay" she squeaked.

Soon Amy and Quil took their new study books and went to find their lockers. As they walked, Quil didn't see where he was walking and bumped into something "Oh god, I'm really sorry!"

"No harm done" said a female voice. Quil soon blushed slightly. The person he bumped into was a yellow female mongoose with long purple hair, piercings in her ears. She was wearing a black tank top, brown shorts and black knee boots. And her eyes were a nice shade of green "Hi! My name is Mina"

Quil smiled at the girl with a hint of pink in his cheeks, this made Amy grin at this. First day here and her brother already has a crush "I'm Quil…Quil Rose"

This made Mina gasp slightly at his name "Thee Quil Rose?! The rapper from Knothole!?"

He grinned at her response. Back in his old school, Quil was a pretty famous rap singer around those parts and sold his own CDs. "Yep that's me!"

Mina smiled even more at this. She jumped on her toes a little bit as she shrieked "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you are joining this school! My mother went there about two months ago and got me the CD from you!" She opened up her locker and pulled out his CD that she kept inside.

Quil chuckled a bit and took it from her which made her blink, he went into his bag and pulled out a marker pen. Both Amy and Mina gasped at this. Quil wrote on the CD case and handed it back.

'Mina, you are the best! Quil'

Amy couldn't believe it, her brother just gave off his first autograph. She saw that soon her brother and Mina were caught up in a conversation and left her in the dust "Q-Quil? We should get going"

Quil looked at his sister with a comforting smile "Amy…I'm sure you will be fine, Mina and me have the same classes" he said "You are a smart girl!"

Soon both Quil and Mina left her in the hallway. Amy sighed as she opened her locker and put her books inside of it that she would need later, she shut her locker and started to walk for her first class which was Math. She walked into the classroom and saw a few students inside already and she sat down in a desk in the middle row and waited for the class to start.

A few mins later, the teacher walked into the classroom and she was a pure white hawk with bright pink eyes and was wearing silver rimmed glasses. She eyed her class as they started to settle down "Now that I have your attention class, we have a new student with us today. Her name is Amy Rose and she just moved from Knothole with her family so let her feel welcome"

Soon Amy felt all eyes were on her. She gulped as she pulled out her math text book to ignore the stares that she was getting.

Soon after that, the door bolted open to show off a pant male student "Sorry I'm late Miss Talon!"

The teacher folded her arms again at her student with a sigh "Late for class again…Mr Sonic!"

Amy pulled her eyes away from her book and saw the blue hedgehog in the doorway. He had slick back quills and had a cocky grin on his face. He was wearing dark blue jeans with red speed shoes and a jock like jacket with his name on with a big green emerald on the back. And his eyes were a bright emerald green. Amy did not notice that she had blushed slightly as she looked at him.

Sonic soon walked into the classroom and sat in the desk behind Amy which made her grow nervous. But soon enough, she focused on her lesson.

Halfway through the lesson, she was working on her equations with no problem. Miss Talon had to leave the classes for a few moments while her class was working. But something was thrown at Amy's desk. She saw it was a paper ball, she picked it up and opened it:

'Hey pinkie, the name is Scourge. From Knothole huh? That is a freaking dump! Why don't you go back there? It's perfect for freaks like you!'

Amy gasped silently as tears stung her eyes as she looked up to see a group of students looking at her with grins and snickers. She knew this would happen! She was too weak to keep her tears in, so she grabbed her stuff and stuffed it into her bag and quickly rose up but it didn't stop there.

"Awww is little pinkie gonna cry!?" Called out a red cat

"Oh she is so weak!" Called out another

"Her dress style is so ugly that it makes me wanna puke!"

Amy felt heavy tears stream down her cheeks, her glasses steamed up as her tears fell from her cheeks and onto the floor. Soon she was pushed to the floor and she dropped all of her stuff and he glasses fell off of her face and landed somewhere on the floor. Her vision was blurred but she saw a green smudge like figure "Heh…She is weak, she can't even defend herself!"

"Scourge…that is enough!" someone yelled. Soon Amy was helped to her feet and her glasses were placed back on her face. She went into shock to see the blue hedgehog standing in front of her like he was protecting her "She is new here, you don't just attack her for no reason…You are just jealous that she is better than you!"

Scourge just grunted and the bell rung meaning that this lesson was over. Everyone just quickly piled out of the classroom and left for the next class, Amy looked over at the blue hedgehog with a small blush and a shy smile "Thank you for helping me"

Sonic just rolled his eyes at her "Don't you ever expect me to save your butt ever again! And don't you talk to me ever!" then he left

Amy glared at him as he left "A simple 'you're welcome' would have been fine…" and then she left for her next class…This is gonna be one interesting year.
