Sonic Skool Dayz
Part I
Chapter 1
Amy wandered through the park on a Sunday afternoon. The next day she was to start at her new school. Apparently, it was one of the best schools in the borough, but really it wasn't. Especially not with an A star school right around the corner. Amy saw a couple of girls hanging out by the pond. They looked like they were in her year, but Amy didn't dare to say hello, mostly because they were smoking, and the last thing Amy wanted was to get caught up in something she couldn't handle before term even started.
Whilst Amy was day-dreaming, she bumped into a boy who seemed to be in a hurry.
"Oh! I am so sorry!" she cried.
"It's OK." the boy said, picking up the sports bottle he had dropped.
The boy was a black and red hedgehog carrying a black, nike sports bag and was wearing a tracksuit.
"You just do some sports?" Amy asked.
"Er. . . yeah." the boy said.
"Hey, I've just moved into the area, maybe we'll be in the same school!" Amy said, smiling.
"Yeah. . . maybe." the boy said. "Um, I really have to get going."
"OK, bye!" Amy said as the boy walked off. "I'm Amy by the way!"
"I'm Shadow." the boy said smiling back at Amy.
Amy was delighted. . .
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"OK! OK! I'm awake already!" Amy yelled at her alarm. "Six thirty AM! This is not fair!"
Amy dragged herself out of bed and put on something nice, to make a good impression.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"I turned you off!" Amy shouted at her alarm as she grabbed her toast, turned off her TV and left.
Amy walked out of her door and across the street she saw the boy from the park.
"Hey!" she yelled across the street.
The boy smiled slightly and turned to his blue friend. They whispered to each other, the blue boy laughed. Amy had no idea what they were talking about because her eyes were fixed on the blue boy.
"Oh my god." she whispered to herself. She knew that face! It was Sonic the Hedgehog.
Keep it cool Amy, she thought. It's only a celebrity. Now go over and say hello, but STAY CALM!
Amy screamed and ran into the road without looking.
"Oh my god it's really you!" she screeched.
"OK. . ." Sonic said, stepping back.
Amy just realised what she had done, and stepped away.
"Sorry, I lose my cool with celebrities." she giggled.
She walked off to school only to find that the boys went the same way and went to her school.
Sonic the Hedgehog went to her school!
All the time before school started consisted of moderately obsessive staring. Well, it did, until. . .
"Who you staring at?" a bat asked. It was one of the smoking girls Amy had seen in the park.
"Nobody." Amy said, getting up and leaving.
The bat and her friend started laughing.
"Don't worry about them." A girl said. "They do that to everyone. You knew here? I'm Cream by the way."
"Oh. Yeah, I am new. I'm Amy." Amy said, smiling.
"This is my friend, Tails." Cream said.
"Hi!" Tails said.
When school finally started, Cream showed Amy where to find her locker. It was just across the hall from Cream's and fairly close to Tails'.
The person with the locker right next to Amy's closed their locker. It was the Shadow boy's locker!
"Oh, hi!" Amy said. "Sorry for acting all weird earlier. I hope I didn't embarrass you."
"No, it's fine." Shadow said, going back over to Sonic. There was also a red dude hanging out with them.
"Is that your girlfriend then?" Amy heard the red guy ask.
"No!" Shadow said while Sonic and the red dude laughed.
Amy sat with Cream and Tails at lunch. They were sitting on their own. Amy was starting to wonder if maybe she would have been better off hanging out with someone slightly cooler. "You'll never guess what I did!" Tails said.
"What?" Cream asked.
"I joined the science club." Tails laughed.
Amy felt extremely out of place. Science club, book club, was there any club those two hadn't joined.
Oh well, Amy thought. I suppose they're better than nothing, besides, beggars can't be choosers. Just stay with these guys until you have someone decent to talk to.
Amy was a slow eater and Tails and Cream had left for book club. So, there was Amy, sitting on her own. She didn't expect any different. She missed her old school, where she was the big cheese. Back there, if they weren't talking about her, they weren't talking. Amy had friends, lots of friends, and yet there she was, sitting on her own eating her half-cold lunch.
"Can we sit here?" the red guy asked. Shadow and Sonic were with him, so Amy nodded and said,
"Sure."
"Great." the red guy said.
All the boys put their trays on the table and ate.
"So, why are you guys so late for lunch?" Amy asked.
"We had running club. I'm Knuckles by the way." the red guy said.
"Oh, cool." Amy nodded.
"So, you made any friends yet?" Knuckles asked.
"Well, yeah, I suppose. Although, I'm not very satisfied with my choice." Amy shrugged.
"Why not?" Shadow asked.
"Well, they seem to go to a lot of clubs that I would never join and to be honest, they're kind of losers." Amy sighed.
"Oh. Shame." Sonic said. "You can hang with us whenever you want."
"Oh, thanks." Amy smiled. She got up to clear up her tray. She looked back and sighed. She was at first staring at Sonic, but then her gaze managed to make its way over to Shadow, where surprisingly, it stayed.
