He was never the popular guy. He never had a girlfriend. He never got laid. He never even had his first kiss yet.

Who is the person I am talking about right now? His name is Roman. Roman The Hedgehog.

Roman was an orange hedgehog, with sky blue eyes, and a dark past.

When he was 3, his parents were killed in a car accident. After that, he was sent to live with his uncle, who taught him how to make and sell drugs when Roman was only 8 years old. Even though Roman was a good student in school, and was a straight A student, he never had any friends. During his 8th grade year, his uncle had been murdered by drug lords because he didn't repay them for the money he borrowed for drugs. He had gone through his first year of high school in utter fear and anxiety. He took up smoking; Thought it would take away stress, which it did. When he turned 15 at the end of the school year, during the summer, he was in the middle of a drug deal. Everything was going smoothly, until they claimed the deal was being monitored by cops, and that Roman had been wearing a wire, and before he could blink, a knife had sliced his chest. The drug lords ran off, leaving Roman bleeding to death in the dark alley, with nothing but a halfway finish, lit cigarette in his mouth.

ROMAN'S POV

As I walked through Emerald Valley High, I was talking to my best friends Tails, Shadow, Sonic and Knuckles. They had became friends with me during the first week of my return. They thought that I looked lonely because I didn't have any friends, and it was true. I didn't have any friends and I was lonely. Besides, once I showed them why I was gone for two weeks, A.K.A, the scar where I got cut, they wouldn't leave me alone!

Tails' real name was Miles Prower, but everyone called him Tails for his giant twin Tails. He was a yellow fox with blue shy eyes and he was a straight A student, just like me, except he was a smart as smart could be! He built his own, real plane when he was just 8 years old! Other than that, he was a good kid. He never got in trouble. He was a slim kid, with a six pack even if he didn't work out. That always confused pulled and would instantly bring up questions.

Knuckles was a jock himself actually. Captain and quarterback for the Emerald Crushers. The high school football team. Even though he was a jock, Knuckles is a nice guy. He was a muscle-headed red echidna with golden eyes filled with a passion for strength, an abnormal obsession for winning, and an average grade of A- in all his classes. He was smart, just not as smart as Tails. No one was! He was definitely one of the strongest in our school.

Sonic was a hero known around the world. A blue hedgehog with friendly emerald colored eyes, and he was as smart as me. He made all A's and did well to not get in trouble. He was a popular guy. No. He was the popular guy. Fan girls, everybody wanting to date him or be like him. And next to that was he was filthy rich! He was skinny, and on the track team, as was Shadow. They were the two fastest people in the school and had a mini rivalry when it came to races.

Shadow...now he's very different. A black and red hedgehog with piercing, angry blood red eyes. The only time he actually smiled was around our little group. Just like the rest of us, he did well in school. He was already 17 years old, but the school board put him in our grade, and I was thankful for it. He always took care of bullies when no one was around. He always treated me, and Tails, like a little brother. He is always there when you need him, but other than that, he doesn't talk much.

As we walked through the hallways, we noticed a crowd gathering around the front doors. It looked like they were following someone. I could hear questions like, "Where are you from?" and "Do you have a boyfriend yet?". When I heard those questions, I darted for the front of the crowd, Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, and Sonic close behind me.

When I got to the front of the crowd, I noticed that all the questions, stares, jocks drooling, and girls slapping their boyfriends, was happening because of one, shy, pink girl.

"She's...she's beautiful.." I thought to myself. When I saw her face, her curves, I felt my heart skip a beat in pure ecstasy and attraction. "I've got to meet her." I thought.

I pushed my way through all of the guys trying to get at her, trying to get next to her to say hi. But just as I got within a foot away from her, one of the jocks had tripped me, and I fell right in front of her, face down. Everyone started laughing at me. The jocks started teasing me, but Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles threatened them to shut up, which they did, while Tails helped me up.

"Are you okay?" a voice said. It was the girl. She had the voice of an angel. It was a soft and caring voice.

I acted angry instead of lovestruck. I growled and said, "Yeah..." I dusted myself off and glared at the jocks. "I'm fine.."

I saw a hand reach out in front of me. A pink, smooth hand. "I'm Amy. Amy Rose. What's your name?" she said.

I looked at her hand and slowly shook it. My face turned a light pink and I cursed myself. "My name is Roman. Roman the hedgehog.."

"It's nice to meet you, Roman." As she said my name, she giggled and smiled, showing her perfect white teeth.

"Uh..yeah. Nice to meet you too, Amy." I said. I smiled a little and looked back where my friends were, but the hallways had emptied.

The bell rang and Amy asked me as we started walking to class, "What do you have for homeroom?"

"Math.." I said, groaning. I hated math.

"Me too!" she said. I took a look at her schedule and I compared it to mine. She had every class with me except for gym and science. I looked at her in surprise, but she just smiled at me.

"Looks like we're going to get to know each other better!" she giggled.

I smiled at this. A whole year getting to know, what now looks like, the girl of my dreams? This is one school year I will never forget!

There ya go! First chapter - Finiiiiiiished!

And in case you're wondering, the people who had been reading my last story, I deleted it because I didn't see it going anywhere. I mean, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but, honestly, it wasn't detailed as much, and it barely made sense. But hey, it was my first story.

Anyway, please review!

Until next time, peace!
