This is my first fan-fic so try not to boo or hiss at it. Don't criticize me either, O.K?

Chapter 1: Tensions

At J.T. Prep school in Los Angeles, a blue hedgehog with a mohawk wearing a school uniform (consisting of blue pants and a white shirt with the school logo), entered the school racing super fast as though something were after him. Turns out the Hedgehog named Sonic overslept and he was trying not to be late for school. He stopped at the lockers and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Whew, just made it."

"Glad you did. You certainly don't want to miss class." said a pink female hedgehog (in a blue plaid skirt and a buttoned up white shirt with the school logo), walking down the hallway, hands on her hips; revealing herself to be Sonic's girlfriend Amy. "What with that big test in Ms. Kilo's class."

"Big test?" Sonic rubbed his head in confusion.

"The Chemistry test, you dunce." said a red echidna named Knuckles walking down the hallway. "The one we were supposed to study for during the Thanksgiving break; and I quote: 'Remember class, make sure to get some studying in; we'll have a big test after the break'. Remember?"

"Oh right, the big test with that strict, hard core, pain in my butt teacher o' mine. I can handle it." Sonic said, laying lazily against the locker.

"Um earth to Sonic; are you forgetting that the test counts for ΒΌ of your making period grade?" Knuckles reminded him.

"Nothing I can't handle." Sonic said, rubbing his nose.

"Oy! You may be fast on your feet, but you're slow in the head hedgehog." Knuckles said rudely.

"Chill, Knux my man! I've got this test in the bag."

A boy with blond hair named Kyle wearing a uniform and a crescent moon necklace came to the lockers; carrying an enormous crescent moon shaped sword on his back. (AN: He's one of my characters). He laughed and replied, "No offense there Sonic, but your grades aren't exactly honor roll material."

"Ha! Is the test really that hard, Ky?" Sonic asked.

"You kidding Sonic? This test is of extreme importance. Sonic I'd advised you to not take the test for granted. You're barely carrying a C average, if you blow this, you'll drop to an F." Amy said worryingly.

"Let Sonic learn his lesson the hard way. Slacking off is no way to get outta this school. You should slow down and watch your steps." said a black hedgehog with red highlights and a tuft of white fur on his chest.

"Shadow! Only a criminal like you would insult me with such sick comments!" Sonic clenched his fists.

"Hmph! Face facts you fool, you're gonna bomb that test; and I'm gonna sit here and laugh."

"Get outta here Shadow. We don't want your kind here." said Knuckles, defending Sonic.

"I'd like to see you pull off a miracle on that test." Shadow laughed at Sonic.

"Go shoot yourself!" shouted Sonic. "I'm not the one who did time in Jail."

Shadow continued to laugh. Sonic went after Shadow but Kyle and Knuckles held the angry Sonic back. "Ignore him Sonic." said Kyle. Shadow walked off to class.

Sonic growled and said, "Darn that Shadow! I'd like to see him fail that test; so I could laugh in his face."

The first period bell rang. "Time for class! Good luck on that test. God Bless Sonic." Kyle said as he and Knuckles walked to class.

Amy put her hand on Sonic's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about Shadow, but still that wasn't nice to say."

"Yeah I know." Sonic covered his face with his hand and hung it in shame.

Amy hugged Sonic and said, "Don't worry, you'll do fine."

Sonic held Amy in his arms and said, "Thanks Amy. By the way, you seen Sora or Riku anywhere?"

"I think they have gym this period."

"Oh. Well, too bad we don't share classes."

Amy and Sonic kissed each other and proceeded to class.

Meanwhile a spiky brown haired Sora and his silver straight haired friend Riku were in gym doing push ups. Riku did them with ease; Sora, not so much.

"Oh man, aw my arms, they feel like Jello." Sora complained.

"C'mon Sora, I thought you were stronger than that." Riku taunted and laughed.

"Ha ha! Go ahead, laugh it up." Sora said. "I'll be stronger than you someday."

"When? 2020?" Riku joked.

"You're just mad because I'm dating Kairi." Sora gloated, struggling to push himself off the ground.

"Hmph! Yeah yeah yeah. How someone as hot as Kairi could fall for a klutz like you."

"And yet you have no girlfriend Mr. Babe magnet." Sora laughed. Riku growled at him.

"Sora! Hey Sora!" yelled Kairi, as she ran up to him and hugged him.

"Ow I'm sore Kairi." Sora rubbed his shoulder.

"Sorry Sora," said Kairi, "so we still on for tonight?"

"Yep." Sora stood up.

"Well, see you Sora." Kairi blew him a kiss and walked away.

Sora smiled and sighed happily.

"Someone's a little smitten." Riku taunted.

"Yeah, but all worth it."

"Hey Sora, how about a wager?"

"What kind Riku?"

"For Kairi. A game of Guitar Hero after school. Whoever beats "Through the fire and flames (Expert)" wins the honor of walking Kairi to school tomorrow." (AN: From Guitar Hero Axel vs Roxas)

"You are on." Sora declared.

"I'll be waiting." Riku walked back to the locker room.

A blond spiky haired Roxas in a white and black checkered shirt with matching checkered shorts stood a few feet from Sora. "Darn! I was going to verse Axel on that. Crud! Now I have to wait my turn!" He rubbed his head. "Oh well, no one's fighting me for Namine. I think I'll embarrass them both just for fun. This is gonna be so sweet!" He laughed and went to the locker room.
