Just Your Average Hedgehogs (Sonic The Hedgehog High School AU)

by sonicnstuff

Three teenage boys, three stories. The golden boy popular kid, dealing with a tag along kid; the boy from the wrong side of the tracks, trying to get by with a dark rumor going around about him; the new kid, trying his best to navigate his new life and lost love. These stories are separate yet concurrent, and will alternate by chapter.

1. Chapter 1

Chapter One

High school is strange time for anyone. Some find it difficult, or mystifying, or a task that takes effort, others find it easy, a game of sorts, a breeze. As for Sonic the Hedgehog, he found his junior year quite the breeze. Every day drifted by blissfully without issues ever arising. He had it pretty good. Popular, a track star, alright grades, everything just sort of fell into place for him. It was one of those easy days, and Sonic was sitting on his desk in homeroom, before the morning bell, gazing out the window. It was late in autumn, and the thought of winter excited him, even though the weather there never got cold enough for a noticeable change in season, but just thinking of the rolling hills covered in snow made Sonic happy. He'd go out snowboarding every day, since behind running, that was his favorite sport. Either way, his parents would go up to the mountains and he could board there. Christmas tradition.

Then, the bell rang, snapping him from his reverie. He quickly swiveled down into his chair as the teacher came in to take roll. It went by quickly, and Sonic got to chatting with some friends from track, Ray and Mighty. Homeroom served little purpose other than for attendance and seeing teachers, things of that sort. A time when everyone is free. Sonic usually used this time to talk, and think about the homework he may or may not have done, which more often than not, he didn't. The other shuffles went by barely noticed. People were also also chatting, doing homework, reading, one kid came in late and stood by as the teacher wrote the note that he was tardy. Sonic didn't care. Sonic didn't even glance up enough to see who it was, and Sonic knew everyone, so it wouldn't take much of a glance. He took occasional glances at the clock for when the bell would ring, and started to plan the day ahead as he slipped away from conversation. He hadn't finished his English paper due today, he actually had done his social studies for once, and no other class today had homework due. He scrambled in the diminishing time of homeroom to finish something resembling a paper, seeing as English was only two periods away. He just barely cut it, looking up to see there was barely two minutes till the bell rang. "Oh crap," muttered Sonic as he packed up his books and binders. He again looked at the clock and drummed his fingers on the desk waiting for the bell. And there it was. And there he went, not that he was particularly excited for science class, but more bored with staying in one place.
