"Then Betty smacked the yellow car girl. I swear, ever since that guy moved into the neighborhood, all he's brought was trouble. No matter how much I love gossip, it's still pretty gross that like almost every girl in the neighborhood wants him. He's not even cute! Ugh. An anteater making women swoon?" My tongue flung out as I showed my disgust about him. My best friend just stared at me with so much confusion, his red eyes looking at the ceiling as he took in all the information I just poured into his head. Silly boys, they can't process gossip fast enough to catch up.
"Wait…who's the girl of the yellow car again?" Shadow asked me, again. I sighed and shook my head, this was like the third time he confused Betty Bee with the girl with the yellow car, who I always forgot her name. We stood quiet in the small room that was known as Shadow's room. I was on a chair while Shadow was on his bed, both staring at nothing. I look at Shadow, wondering when he'll take me to go eat. Shadow, the lone wolf, the one who insults everyone, but yet is a friend of everyone. So odd. He was quiet, liked to be alone, insulted many, and seemed to get annoyed so easily. And yet, he was my best friend. Me! Amy Rose! Cute, smart, friendly, preppy, …loud, the total opposite of Shadow. Then how did we end up besties? …You know what? I have no idea.
"Yo, Shads." Maybe he will remember.
"Hn."He finally looked away from the ceiling.
"How the hell did we become friends?" I moved my head to stare at him with confusion. I seriously don't remember. He looked up to the ceiling again, he probably can't remember either.
"Didn't we meet at book club? I was hanging out with Shade and you just came up to her and we just talked." I thought about it. I didn't really remember that. All I can remember was our second meeting.
"Then I was walking with Rouge and I didn't say hi to you. I remembered the face you made, it was pretty scary." Shadow shuddered at the memory of our second meeting.
"It's because you didn't say hi to me!" It was true. I said hi all happy and cute and he just stared at me like if I was an idiot as he walked away. How dare he! I was very enthusiastic to become his friend since he was so close to my other friends, but when he left me hanging, oh no that made me furious. But, I guess it doesn't matter now.
"You wanna go to eat now? I'm getting hungry." He stood up and stretched. My head shot so quickly towards him that I could have snapped my own neck if I wanted to. In that instant, my stomach growled in response to his question. He just looked at me and shook his head as he walked out the room and I followed.

"How much do you eat?" I looked up as I heard Shadow and smiled; just another day to surprise people with my appetite. I may be small and thin, but this girl needs food.
"Oh come on. A burger, some chicken tenders, large fries, large soda and an ice cream isn't a lot." I told him, sipping the soda that I brought back to his house.
"I guess it wasn't since you started eating my fries and got like 3 refills." Shadow looked at me with no emotion. I smiled and giggled at him. This cute little face doesnt cute with just healthy food. How do you think I get these round cheeks? I just make sure it doesnt get round in the wrong places; which was starting to get hard.
"Wished Rouge could be more like you. She barely eats." Shadow sipped his soda. Rouge, Rouge, Rouge. My childhood friend. Pretty, skinny, lady-like, bitchy, model, very lady-like, seductive, histrionic, cold, truthful, kinda vain, and bitchy. Oh how I love her so. How or why I still talk to her, who knows why. Known her for about 5 or so years and she has been the same for all those years. Maybe it's because even though she is a bitchy, sneaky, big-mouthed and well…a bitch, she still cares and shows her nice side. Like when that one girl was making fun of my dress in the 8th grade. Rouge heard her bad mouth it and she bad mouth her back, twice as bad. Rouge did her part and she was darn happy she won since she was the one that picked my dress that day. Well, not only is she my friend, she is also Shadow's girlfriend. Now that I can't understand.
"She's been…cranky lately." I eyed Shadow as he said that. Cranky lately? She always is.
"Well, more than usual." He added and I nodded. I was sipping my soda so I couldn't really talk. Shadow just looked at me and I rolled my eyes.
"How has she been lately?" I asked; if I didn't, he won't tell me.
"Well, remember that rumor about you and me that Rouge's friend started?" Rouge's friend? Oh! That one girl, Fiona I think was her name… Fiona. I remember now. Shadow and I were walking to my house to wait for Rouge, who was taking summer classes at the local community college, and we all picked my house to meet up and hang out. That Fiona chick saw us walk without Rouge and next thing we know is people saying that Shadow is cheating on Rouge with me. How disgusting! He's like a freakin' brother to me.
"Yeah, what about it?" I asked, annoyed, hoping things wouldnt get worse.
"Rouge is starting to believe it." I almost choked on my soda as I heard him. Rouge? Believing that crap? For months, she has believed in us and told everyone off that we weren't in a sneaky relationship and now! God, how can she do that? I've known her for years.
"Why? The hell? Have you talked to her?" I asked, so confused and mad; it's all that Fiona's fault.
"I have. But, you know Rouge."
"Stubborn." I rolled my eyes as I sat down on Shadow's bed.
"Why can't people believe that we are just friends?" I sighed. I hate all this criticism; even our own friends were into it. But not Rouge, well not until now. I heard Shadow sigh to himself, this was too much drama for him.
"Chill, Shads. We will go through this. We just gotta convince Rouge again." I sipped my soda again. Then it started to make that odd sound. I look through the straw and pouted.
"You don't have any more?" I heard him asked and I nodded, still pouting. He sighed and passed me his soda. I observed him for a while, making sure he really wants to give his soda. He nodded and I happily started to drink more soda. Perhaps this was the reason I talk so much.
"I think she's just jealous." I looked at Shadow confused as I heard him talk again.
"Rouge. I think she's jealous that she has summer school again and she doesn't have time to come to my house while you in the other hand, visits me almost every day." He has a point there. Such a predicament.
"Did you get your AP scores?" I changed the subject. If we continue to talk about it, we would never stop.
"Yeah, I got a 2. Guess I wasn't good enough." He sulked some and I started to laugh at his comment.
"What's so funny? Just because I'm not as smart as you, miss honor roll."
"No, wait! I also got a 2. And I got honor roll in the 10th grade, so you can't really use that on me, sir." I informed him before he started to get all mad. It's not my fault that I like to laugh; I just thought his worried face looked so funny. I guess we both didn't pay much attention to our AP English language class as much as we should have.
We stood there in silence. I looked at the closet he had, it wasn't really his, at was more of his mother's. It was full of horror movies. Filled from the bottom all the way to the top. I think he has a problem.
I can hear him texting, probably Rouge.
"So, what is on your mind?" I heard Shadow asked me. I just looked at him, he was staring at his phone.
"I dunno. Not much really."
"Aren't you going to the library tomorrow?" He asked and I almost choked on my soda.
"Oh, Hehe. Yeah. I almost forgot. Haha." I replied when I got my composure back and I wasn't coughing so heavily.
"Good thing I reminded you. Don't forget I'm also gonna go. And you promised Sonic that you are going to meet him in the library too. Why?" Shadow surprised me with his question. He never really asked me about Sonic.
"I don't really know. He just said that he was going to tell me something." I just shrugged, it was really all he said on Facebook. I don't expect much, he's just a friend that I haven't seen since school ended.
"Hn." How odd he is. I can hear footsteps coming towards the room, momma probably arrived.
"Hiya, sweetie. Happy that you're here. Do you want me to take you home?" Shadow's mom's head peaked into the room. She looks just like Shadow but has gentle blue eyes.
"Hi momma. Sure, it looks like time." I look over to my phone. Yup, any later and mom will get mad.
"Alright, let's go." Time with Shadow sure flies.

"Good evening, Mrs. Rose."
"Good evening, Mrs. Hedgehog." Ah, my mom is busting out her fake smile. So predictable. She doesn't like the fact that I hang out with Shadow a lot more than his own girlfriend. But my mom doesn't like any guy that gets near me so, I don't really care.
"I'll text you later."
"Later? You mean when your car pulls out from my house?" Shadow gave a small smirk as he shook his head. I walk into my house, after I hugged Shadow's mom goodbye, as I brace myself for mom. I then hear my mom close the door behind me. She sure is quick.
"Like always, you come home so late." My mom taps her foot at me, her arms crossed in front of her. For being a light purple hedgehog, she looks so intimidating. Her blue eyes piercing at me.
"6 o'clock?" I responded as I look next to me where the clock stood hanging on the wall.
"I told you to get home by 4." Seriously, I can't believe my mom sometimes. I just walk away, she's more stubborn than Rouge. So stubborn that even she thinks I have a relationship with Shadow. Yeah, my own mom. I go straight to my pink room and fall into my bed. I just wanna sleep and get this gossip out of my life!
"I told you! He's my man!"
"Don't you dare, you slut!"
"Aaaah! Let go!"
Okay, maybe after I check out this cat fight (literary) that is happening at the anteater's front yard.
