(Skye's POV)
I was walking around the school, not really paying attention. My brother Tails had got me into his school and today was my first day.
Because of me not paying attention I ran into someone, and fell backwards onto my butt. I saw I had run into a gray blue hedgehog.
"Whoa you okay?" He asked me, holding out a hand to help me up.
I took it and stood. "Um..yes. And I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going."
"It's okay." He glanced at my schedule. "You new?"
"Yeah. That's kinda why I'm not paying attention to where I'm going..." I said nervously scratching the back of my head.
He laughed at me a little, "Well of course." He said sarcastically, "I can help you if you want. I'm Cyclone by the way."
I smiled, "That'd be great. I'm Skye."
"Then here let me see your paper." Cyclone said, I handed him my schedule. "Well looks like you're in most of my classes. Makes this a lot easier."
I fiddled with my goggles on my forehead and giggled, "You mean you just get to be lazier?"
Cyclone laughed and pushed my goggles down onto my eyes to mess with me. I saw that he had goggles to so I reached up to push his down, successfully. We both laughed and then the bell rang.
"Oh we better get to class. Follow me." Cyclone said, motioning for me to follow.
Once in the classroom, the teacher Vanilla, spoke, "Alright class, today we have a new student. Come in here please and introduce yourself." I was standing in the doorway as Cyclone told me to.
Nervously I walked into the classroom, believe it or not I'm really shy. Hard to believe since I talked to Cyclone. I don't know, but it just seemed like I could trust him.
"Um..hi everyone I'm Skye..." I said softly.
I heard a snicker from a girl squirrel, "Loser." She whispered to the others who laughed. Only Cyclone and a few others that I don't know glared at her.
"Where'd she get her clothes, one month agoville? And those goggles, priceless!" She cointinued. The others who laughed before laughed again.
My sea green gaze went to my feet, I felt my cheeks turn red in embarassement.
"Now now class! Settle down, that's no way to treat a classmate Sasha!" Vanilla said sternly, then the rabbit turned to me, "Now Skye please take a seat, there's one in between Cyclone and Kasie."
I nervously made my way over to my desk and sat down. 'Hmph, and Tails thought this was a good idea.'
"Don't let her get to you." The pink cheetah girl said next to me. I looked at her and she smiled encouragingly, "She does that to everyone. Sasha's just the most popular, that's why she thinks she's the best. I'm Kasie."
I gave a fake soft smile, to be honest it was hard to smile after those insults. I turned my attention back to Vanilla, who began to begin the lesson.
It's now lunch time. 'Ugh, I'll have nowhere to sit, as usual.'
"Skye! Over here!" I heard Cyclone's voice, I turned in the direction of his voice and sat by him.
"Thanks Cyclone. I thought I would have nowhere to sit." I said.
I looked to see there were others at the table, Kasie, a female leopard, a male wolf, a female seedrian, along with a male echidna.
"Oh no prob. And this is Kasie, Alexis, Kevin, Blossom, and Thunder." Cyclone said.
"We heard about what Sasha said to you. We're so sorry, she's never said anything that mean." Blossom said, her light pink eyes worried.
"Heh, yeah..." I said, twirling my scarf in my finger.
"Oh yeah that. I'm just getting started." A voice came from behind me, no one else expected it but Sasha grabbed me from behind.
"Let her go, Sasha!" Cyclone said, standing up, along with the others.
"Eh I'm good, girls handle this for me." She said waving her free hand in a shoo gesture.
I squirmed in her grasp but the more I did the more she tightened her grip. I gave up and let her carry me outside where she shoved me up against a wall. We were in a cave, so no way anyone would hear me.
"What do you want from me?!" I said grabbing onto her hand trying to pry it off.
No progress, "Just one little thing. Stay. Away. From. Cyclone." She growled.
I stopped moving and put on a confused face, "eh? What's that supposed to mean?"
She rolled her chocolate brown eyes. "I mean. No stealing my future boyfriend away from me."
Dark vertical eyes appeared under my eyes, and my face went red, "No no no! It's not like that at all! We're friends that's it! He's all yours!" I regretted saying the last thing but dang, that flustered me so much.
Dunno why I'm blushing... Oh well, not important since I'm practically getting strangled.
"Humph. I don't believe you." She smirked and kneed me in the stomach. I cried out, really pointless but it hurt so much!
Then out of nowhere a ninja star nearly cut off Sasha's bangs. She released my neck and I fell to the ground with a thump. My vision was blurry but I made out that my friends were helping me.
"Skye you okay?" Cyclone said as he helped me up.
I felt dizzy, "...uh...yeah..." I said before I started to fall again.
Cyclone caught me in his arms and held me close to him, I probably would have blushed, but I was way too dizzy and such. I was still shaken up as well, so, to comfort myself I cuddled closer to Cyclone.
Sasha must have been chased away by the rest of them, because I heard the others coming over.
"Skye you okay?" Kasie's voice said, "Can she stand?" She must have been directing that at Cyclone.
"She tried but she fell." Cyclone replied.
"We should probably take her to the nurse.." Alexis's voice said.
The others agreed and Cyclone picked me up bridal style, again probably would have blushed. I felt way too much wind for it to be normal pace or running, but I decided to ignore and finally let myself slip into unconsciousness.
