Chapter 1 - You Belong With Me

Amy Rose's Side of the Story

Dear Journal,

It's been 3 months since I moved into town. I can still remember when I said good-bye to everyone, but… I never said bye to my ex-boyfriend, Sonic The Hedgehog. We started out great… Well, it just turned into bad romance. Unfortunately, I heard the other day he got himself a new girlfriend named Sally, I just dreamed about the day, when he's wake's up, and finds out the one he has been looking for been here the whole time… I'm just glad I didn't have to see them being together. That alone, would have made me go crazy. Everytime I go to bed, I would dream of them kissing, and I would get sick when I wake-up. Thanks to the people that help me found out that someone on my mother's side of the family was still alive. Her named was Helen Cross. After that day, I moved into her house. She always wanted kids, but never had one. It's been nice here… I better go. I have school in the next two hours.

Your friend, Amy Rose

I can't believe I'm going to start my second year of high school soon… I put down the journal, and I went to the bathroom mirror to put on some makeup. After I was done, I told myself in the mirror, "It's never gonna happen again." It will never happen again, me with a another boyfriend after what happened with me and Sonic. Never!
Walking out of the bathroom into my new room, I hesitate by trying to find my backpack in one of the boxes. I had not opened yet. I found it and went down stairs. A yellow hedgehog with pink strips, Helen was yelling at the TV again.
"Helen," I said, "I need to go right now if you don't mind driving me to school today… will be NICE!" Helen turned round.
"I'm sorry Amy… The TV isn't working again."
"Like always," I repiled.
"Yeah…" She said. "Amy, why don't you drive your own car today?"
"The pink car that I won in that racing game called Sega All-Stars Racing?"
"Yeah that-"
"And last month, you wanted to drive it. After I let you drive it, you crash into a tree with it."
"Oh yeah… Sorry…" Helen said and went to the next room to find her keys.
"It's ok…" I said. "If you fix it."
"When I have money, I will."
"We will see." Helen found her keys after I walked out the door to her silver Honda CR-V car. "Hey Helen, can I drive your car tomorrow?" And maybe if I can, I'll hit a tree just like you!
"In. Your. Dreams!" She said loudly. We got in the Honda car. Helen started the car, while I looked out the window.
"So how much TV did you get to see before you started-" I said.
"Not much… Only a boy crying out monster, that's all." Helen said driving at the same time. "And… Sonic." Great, him too. "Are you ok?" No.
"I'm fine." That's a lie. I can't believe I just lied to Helen…
"Hmm…"
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I know what happened."
"What-"
"You and Sonic… He was your boyfriend before you came to live with me." She knows about that.
"… How did you know that Sonic and-" I asked.
"Your friends told me." Of course.
"Oh…" We just reached the front of the school. I glared at my new school. I 'd give anything not to go to this school right now.
"If you want to talk about this boyfriend and girlfriend thing," she said, "I'm always here for you." I know… I jump out of the Honda car and started walking to class. I think I hear Helen calling my name, but I didn't look back. The sad part about right now is school won't started for an hour and a half… I walked to the computer room, hoping to be left alone. That's until I saw Rouge. Rouge was with some other guys that I never met in my life… Rouge looked round the room. I guess she wanted to get out of there. Then, she saw me next to the door way.
"Amy?" Rouge said.
"Yes, Rouge?" I said with a smile on my face.
"Amy, it's been to long!" She came up to me and hugs me a little too tight.
"I know… It's been too long since the Winter Olympic Games in Canada. Remember how I beat you at figure skating?" Rouge stop hugging me and gave me a weird look.
"You never beat me at figure skating!"
"Yes I did!" I yelled.
"You never-" She was going to say something but… someone was yelling for her in the background.
"Rouge, your boyfriend needs you!" I think I heard that voice before, but I can't think of who at this time. Rouge turned round.
"Manic, look who I found?" Rouge said with a smile on her face. A green hedgehog came out of the crowd of people and then right next to Rouge. The green hedgehog look at me with a dazed look…
"Amy…" Manic stop. "Dude, I can't believe it. Amy how are you?"
"Fine. Just fine."
"That's good to hear… How's Sonic… Are you two still together?…" I looked at him, then looked down to the floor. I thought I was going to cry, but didn't. I guess, Manic got the hint that Sonic and me broke up. "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine. I know you didn't mean to." I said. "It's just that… That…"
"Oh… Amy." Rouge said as she hugs me. Manic looks at me like he wished he was me or Rouge right now. Rouge looked at Manic. "Now before I forget. What did you want to tell me, Manic?" Manic's eyes were still on me.
"Oh yeah, Your boyfriend wants to see you now."
"I'll be on my way soon after I get Amy's phone number." I pulled out a paper and a pen. When I wrote down my phone number. Then gave it to her. "Thanks Amy! Come on Manic, I need you to take me to my boyfriend."
"Ok," Manic and Rouge started to walk out of the computer room. All I can think of right now is that Rouge has a boyfriend… Then, the bell for first period rang. Time does go by fast…
Walking to first period wasn't so bad. I went into the classroom and saw a seat in the back of the room. I sat down hoping no one saw me. It seemed like everyone was in the classroom until a brown hair girl came in. What's up with her make up? She looks lost.
"Nice to have you, miss?" The teacher said. "Will you take a sit, miss?"
"Ya…" She went for the closest seat. After looking at her for a minute, I looked up to the teacher.
"Welcome to River High School today, I'm your teacher, Mr. Mojo. In this class, I want all eyes on me…" He said as I looked way from all of this and stared out the window. Since I have nothing better to do... When I was looking out the window, I saw Rouge and Manic with some other guy at the fares tree from this classroom… Who is he and is he… Rouge's boyfriend?
