Sometimes life just sucks.
That's a saying every girl says, at least once in her life. Life is hard. For girls, at times it feels impossible. Is it because we fret over the little things? Every outfit has to be just right or having to be a certain weight to be considered beautiful? Perfect skin, make up, hair? Sometimes, it doesn't even seem we know why.
But, we always make it through. Even without perfect hair, skin, and other small things like that. So, how do we do it? If these things are so important, but we don't have them, how do we make it?
The answer is so simple. Any girl would tell you: friends. Friends are the ones who get us through. To lean on or cry on. To give them a push or to tell a secret, a girl's friends are the key to her survival.
And one day, my two best friends and I will make it. Our lives are only beginning, but already we're meeting challenges. Boys, family, clothes, jobs, everything! It's like we're being bombarded with it, all at once. But like I said, we'll make it. I know we will.
-Amy Rose
The pink hedgehog shut her diary, sighing. Tomorrow will be her first day at Green Oak High School as a freshman. An understatement would be saying she was nervous. One part of her was dreading it (but, hey, it's school) and another part was excited. Her best friends, Rouge the Bat, and, Cream the Rabbit, would be there. So it wouldn't be to bad.
The pink hedgehog sighed once more and reached over to her lamp, turned it off, and went to bed.
Ring! Ring! RING!
"Ugh!" Amy moaned, reaching blindly for her alarm clock. It flashed 6:30. When she couldn't find it, Amy gave up and decided to get ready.
Yawning she said to herself, "Why does it have to be today?" Shrugging off her moodiness, the hedgehog stretched and went and took a quick shower.
As if the actually awakening wasn't torture enough, there was no hot water. "Stupid shower…" Amy grumbled to herself. Her total shower time was exactly two minutes and seventeen seconds.
Amy walked out of the bathroom and picked out her favorite outfit, to make this day somewhat better. A red skirt with a pink top. She decided to leave her hair down today, but put a red ribbon up in her hair, to keep her bangs out of her eyes. The hedgehog then grabbed her pink boots from inside her closet and strapped them on.
Amy thought for a minute and then put on her gold bracelets, one on each wrist. Looking herself over in the mirror, and when satisfied, Amy grabbed her bag and left for school.
Looks might not be necessary for making it through life, but they sure did help.
After walking for about a block Amy stopped at the corner and waited. Suddenly to Amy's left, a yellow rabbit ran up to meet her. She wore a navy blue version of Amy's skirt, a sky blue colored top, and a navy blue ribbon held back her long floppy bunny ears.
"Hi! Sorry I'm late Amy, but my mom kept taking pictures and stuff… I tried to get out before her or Vector saw me, but I was too slow."
"It's okay Cream. You're right on time," she smiled at her friend. Amy made a mental note that Cream had said 'Vector', not dad. He was Cream's step dad. Her real father had just, left. Last year Cream's mom, Vanilla, and him had gotten married, but Cream didn't get time to even know him before the wedding. Amy thought she didn't like him.
"So, ya nervous?" Cream asked. She switched her backpack to her left shoulder, then back.
Amy nodded, "Yep. Totally. I almost didn't come today." Amy winked at her best friend, "But then I thought about how much you would miss me, and how lost you would feel, and-"
"Okay enough!" Cream laughed. "I'm not super glued to you or anything Amy. Don't you think I could make it one day without you?"
The pink hedgehog pretended to think hard, not looking to sure. "Shut up!" Cream laughed, giving Amy a push.
"Oh my gosh!" Amy gasped, slapping a hand over her mouth. She looked shocked, "Did you just say 'shut up?'" I didn't know you had it in you!"
Cream laughed again, "I'm fourteen Amy! I'm not a little baby!"
"Then say 'Oh crap!'" Amy dared. She cocked an eyebrow at her friend, to make her know she was serious.
The little rabbit froze, "I wouldn't go that far…"
Amy just laughed and slapped her friend on the back. They then crossed the street together, talking about last night's show and how they shouldn't have killed off the cute boy, etc.
"Hey, did you get your schedule in the mail?" Cream asked when they walked across the high school's football field.
"Yeah!" Amy stopped walking and threw her backpack on the ground. Cream stopped walking too. Amy unzipped her bag and rummaged through it for a bit. When she found it she stood up and cleared her throat.
"It's not like it's a big toast Ames," Cream jokingly pointed out.
She rolled her eyes, "Let me have my dreams…" She then looked down at her paper and read silently to herself.

She looked up at Cream, "You wanna compare?"
The rabbit nodded, "YES! I've been dreading this all night!" Her eyes were wide and looked like they could have tears in them, "What if we don't have any classes together!"
Amy had been worrying about that too, but she didn't want to be a sissy about it. She reminded Cream, "I thought you just said you weren't super glued to me Cream. That you make it without me."
Cream winced, "But not every day!"
Amy sighed, "Well, no matter what happens, we can still see each other in the halls." She knew it wasn't much help, but any comfort was better than none.
Cream nodded and pulled her schedule out of her bag's side pocket. She unfolded it and brought hers next to Amy's.

"That's only three classes!" Cream shrieked. Her voice was starting to get really high, like it was when she was a little kid.
Amy was just as upset, but she had to be reasonable. She set a hand on her friend's shoulder, "Three classes, plus lunch, and passing each other in the hall. Don't freak, Cream."
She looked ready to start bawling, "But passing time is only three minutes! That only gives us twenty four minutes of talking time in the halls a day!"
Amy grumbled, "How do you do that in your head? I barely passed Pre-Algebra…" She thought to herself, If I wasn't so bad at math we could have another class together…
Cream tried to be positive, "At least we have lunch together. We won't be sitting alone."
"And don't forget, there's Rouge," Amy smiled glad her and Cream had expanded their friendship to the white bat. It might make High School a bit more bearable.
The little rabbit whispered, "Yes. That's good. Maybe we'll have a couple classes with her. Not to be rude Amy, but I hope we get three classes with Rouge, but not one's with each other. That way, we'll never have any classes alone."
Amy nodded, "That sounds a lot better. You know Cream, we might actually make it through high school."
Cream took Amy's hand with her own, "Promise me, that if you make other friends, you won't hang out with them more than me. Please."
"Don't worry, I would never forget about you, Cream," Amy hugged her friend. When they pulled away Amy murmured, "Come on. Let's hurry. We don't want to be late on our first day."
The two girls picked up their stuff and raced each other the rest of the way across the field, hearing a warning ring of the bell. Class was in session.
A/N: I wanted to do a story with the 'Sonic Girls' as the main characters for a while, but never got to it, until now. I'm still deciding whether or not to put Shadow in the story, but that'll come when it comes. Wow, I think I'm in love with this, and I haven't done anything real exciting yet! That's like, awsome. If you're reading this PLEASE REVIEW. I actually don't mind if you have creative critism for this one. But please include one compliment in it. You know, to make me feel like my life isn't being wasted. lol. Review! (JUNO FREAKIN UPDATE ALREADY!)
