Chapter 1: tears are shed

I was strapped down at a chair struggling to get free. "NOO! PLEASE DON'T!" *3 gunshots* *3 bodies fall to the ground*

A rush of wind rushed through me and I woke up saying "NOO!" still struggling to get free, like I was still there. I was hopping to not wake up. Not to face school.

That memory just kept coming back. Like it was a bad, recurring dream. Dragged myself out of bed, and crushed my alarm clock with my fist. Today was the same day that my family died. But that was 4 years ago, I was only 12. I was still chasing sonic but I stopped when my parents died.

I put on a black t-shirt, a black hoddie over it, with black shorts, revealing my soft pink fur, and black knee high boots. No, no, no, I thought. I only cared about a few things, and one of them was fashion. I changed to black sneakers with black laces. Much better, I thought. I put my black headband on to hold up my pink, hip-line hair but let a couple stands fall and cover my right eye. I went to the bathroom and put on black eye shadow, black eye liner, mascara, and blood red lipstick.

I just headed straight for the bus stop, I didn't want to eat. Not on a day like this. I was at a new school. Along with sonic. When I was with the crowd of students, I just made sure my face was slightly down, so really no one could see my face, closed my eyes and clutched my books.

"Hey look another gothic in our school!" says what looked like to be one of the populars. They pointed, they laughed, but I didn't move an inch. I didn't look up, and I didn't open my eyes. A tear slivered down my face and fell onto the sidewalk, dark. My mascara was finished.

Soon they gave up laughing, and continued to chat.

I climbed up the bus steps, still clutching my books, still had my head down, and still had my eyes closed. I walked to the back were the seats made a U. I sat down in one of the corners, hugged my legs, covered my face, and began to cry.

"Ugh… my mom is going to kill me!" a voice said as it was approaching the back where I was.

"Who cares about grades!" said another voice approaching the back too.

"Well m-" I could practically hear them froze when they saw me.

But I just turned away and kept on crying, but softer.

They sit down next to me. "are you ok, miss?"

I was caught by surprise. NO ONE ever has asked me that. I picked up my head and stuttered, "n-no" and cried a little harder.

"Ummm… can we help you?" one of them asked.

I picked up my head fully now and wiped up the tears on my face, still holding my legs close to me. I blushed and smiled. "w-what are your names?" I was shy around cute boys and they were cute!

"My name is shadow the hedgehog," this boy had black quills with red streaks. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a biker jacket, black jeans with holes and chains on it, and with black high-tops.

"Name is Espio the chameleon," this boy was purple with a horn that was a yellow. He was wearing a black leather jacket and black jeans. He had black high-tops too.

"My name is Amy Rose," she blushes. These MUST be popular guys, ohh... their cute! I thought.

"I guess your new here?" shadow asked.

"Ya…." I answered.

"What's wrong?" Espio asked with concern in his voice.

"I… I've just been through some rough times…" winces at the thought of the devastating memory.

"Can we know?" Espio asked.

"It's too painful…." I started to cry.

Shadow putted his arm around me and I leaned into his chest a little.

The bus screeched to a stop. Caught off guard, me and shadow tumbled on the floor next to each other. We quickly got up and started walking down the aisle with Espio right behind us, laughing his head off. When we got off the bus Shadow smacked Espio in the face.

"Thank you shadow," I said. "I was just about to do that myself!"

They went to their lockers. But…. I got distracted….

I bumped into sonic by accident…

"Huh?.. SERISOLY AMY?!" sonic yells, grabs everyone's attention, even Espio and Shadow.

I picked up my books trying to ignore Sonics' yelling, but it was impossible.

"Stop chasing me!" sonic demanded like a baby.

"Sonic… I haven't chased you in 4 years," I said softly. "besides I have things on my mind," I snapped and stood up.

"Important things?! Compared to my life, your life is perfect! My family doesn't even notice-" sonic was cut off.

"MY FAMILYS DEAD!" I yelled.

It was so quite that you could hear a pin drop. My heart beat raised so fast i could bearly breath.

"They were killed right in front of me when I was 12…" I said softly.

"I didn't k-" Sonics cut off again.

"OF CORSE YOU DIDN'T!" I screamed.

My eyes started glowing white. The fire from the chemistry lab. The water from the water fountains. The wind blew harder. The ground trembled. Everything wraghted around me hard. it was like i was strapped down in that same chair, struggling to get free. I fell into Espio's arms and pasted out.
