=Sonic's house=
Sonic woke up. The alarm clock was ringing as it did every morning. Sonic then sighed, and turned it off, trying to remember what day it was. The date didn't come to him as it naturally did. He then slowly stepped out of bed, walked over to his dresser, and pulled out a pair of jeans, sliding them on, then grabbed a green T-shirt and walked out of his room, heading for the kitchen, while putting it on. He opened the refrigerator, and pulled out the milk, and poured himself a glass of milk, and downed it quickly. He the put on his shoes and walked into the living room, and plopped down on the couch. He then finally noticed that Shadow wasn't around. He shrugged to himself. It wasn't unlike Shadow to be gone early in the morning here and there.
"Another day..." he muttered. He looked at the clock. 6:50. He tried to relax, but something was bugging him, and he couldn't figure it out. Sonic grunted, trying to figure out what today was. Then suddenly, he heard his phone ring. He looked at the arm of the couch, and picked up his cell phone laying on it, and answered it.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Sonic! Where the hell are you?" Knuckles yelled.
"Knuckles? What are you talking about?" Sonic asked, his voice slightly groggy.
"You idiot! Don't you know what today is?" Knuckles asked.
"Huh?" Sonic muttered, confused. He was sure today was something important, but he didn't remember.
"It's the first day of our sophomore year in high school, moron!" Knuckles shouted. "I'm at the school, where are you?"
Sonic's eyes widened, and he sped back to the kitchen, desperately looking for his calendar, hoping Knuckles was just pulling some prank on him, but sure enough, it was August the 23rd . The first day of school.
"Shit!" Sonic yelled. Then he ran back to the living room, looking for his book bag.
"You honestly didn't remember?" Knuckles yelled back.
"Shut up! I'll see you when I get to the school ok?" Sonic told him.
"Yea, yea whate-" Knuckles started, but before he could finish Sonic hung up, and shoved the phone in his pocket.
Sonic growled. "That bastard! Why didn't he freaking wake me up?" Sonic yelled.
He was pissed that Shadow had let him sleep, while he got ready for school. He then continued looking, wondering where in the hell he put it.
He then looked behind the couch, and finally found his book bag, squished in between the couch and the wall.
"How did that get there?" Sonic muttered to himself. But he pushed that thought away as he put it on, and sped out the door, shutting it on the way, and ran through the streets, heading for school.
=At the school=
Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow stood in front of the high school, everyone else walking inside. Knuckles grunted in confusion, while Amy was waiting patiently for the boy of her dreams, Sonic, who she knew that one day would accept her love. Shadow just sighed.
"He's late." Knuckles grunted.
Shadow glanced at the red echidna. He was wearing a black shirt, beige slacks, and his normal shoes, which Shadow always thought vaguely resembled a pair of clowns shoes. Not that he ever voiced his opinion to Knuckles.
"Since when is he not?" Shadow asked.
Knuckles nodded, understanding. "Good point..." the crimson echinda muttered. "I thought you were his roommate now or something."
"So?"
"You didn't bring him with you?" Knuckles asked
"His problem he didn't wake up. Not mine." Shadow told him.
"i see." Knuckles mumbled. He then continued to
A sudden breeze then picked up, sending a slight shiver down Amy's spine. She wished she had brought a jacket, but she was so looking forward to seeing Sonic on her first day of high school she forgot. Love. It was annoying sometimes, but hopefully in the end, worth it. The two guys however, ignored the cool breeze, still waiting. She sighed, wondering why Shadow got to be roommates with Sonic and not her.
"It's just not fair!" she thought.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon." she told them. " I can feel it."
"A fortune teller now Amy?" Knuckles asked, a smirk on his lips.
"Kiss off." Amy growled.
"With you? I'd rather kiss a frog." Knuckles said.
Angry that her retort had backfired, AND that Knuckles had just made fun of her, Amy reached into her hammer space, ready to pull out her Piko-Piko hammer and bash him in, when Shadow suddenly grabbed her arm, stopping her. Amy looked at him confused.
"Shadow?" she asked.
"He's here." Shadow mumbled, just loud enough for her to hear.
Amy's eyes then sparkled, as she smiled, happy that she was finally going to get to see her blue hero after a whole summer. The three then spotted a blue object, nearly hurtling down the streets, a blue steak of light following him close behind.
"Sonic..." Amy said out loud, her words coming out as a dreamy sigh.
The azure hedgehog then came to a complete stop, about four feet away in front of them, kicking up dirt and leaves, making Knuckles and Amy cough slightly, but Shadow stood, not faltered.
"Hey guys." Sonic said. He then saw Shadow, and glared at him for two seconds, before stopping and letting out his cocky signature smile.
Knuckles was about to treat Sonic to one of his smart mouthed comments, until Amy suddenly ran up to Sonic, hugging him.
"Sonic! Oh I missed you! Did you miss me?" Amy asked, her grip tightening by the second.
"Whoa! Amy, stop! I cant breath!" Sonic shouted. The scene caught a few eyes of the other students who were still walking by. Amy then loosened her grip, allowing azure to slip from her grasp.
"Nice to see you Sonic." Shadow told him.
Sonic smiled at Shadow, who smiled back. Sonic recalled the night they shared two weeks ago. He shivered slightly at the remembrance, as it was the only time out of the entire summer the two had done that. The only time they EVER did that. But they still secretly became a couple, going to the movies, eating out, things like that. Amy was confused at why Sonic and shadow would be smiling at each other, but she kept her comments to herself, not wanting to be rude.
"Same goes for you too." Sonic replied.
Knuckles then looked back at the school, then his watch. 6:58.
"Guys we have about two minutes to get inside and get ready, otherwise were gonna be late for the first class of the year." Knuckles told them.
The other three nodded, and they headed towards the entrance, the autumn wind starting to pick up again.
"God, it's cold out." Amy muttered.
"Not really. Just the wind." Knuckles told her.
"Yea, your words really help Knuckles." She said, a tone of sarcasm in her voice. She then sighed. "My first day of high school."
"It's not really what its all cracked up to be. Its better than middle school, yea. But its honestly no much better." Sonic told her. She frowned a bit, and Shadow nodded agreeing.
"Crushing dreams already this year Sonic?" Knuckles asked, smirking.
"It's okay, I should stick to reality instead of Hollywood here." Amy told him.
The four then walked through the double doors, and the school presented itself, with a long, pearl white hallway, lined with blue lockers, and of course the spaces for the doors in between at regular intervals. A red, female hedgehog was a table by the entrance, and there was a line. Sonic guessed it was for their schedule sheets.
"Come on, over here." Sonic pointed out. The three followed him til they got in line.
"So, what did you guys do over the summer?" Knuckles asked.
"Me? I pretty much did what I always do. Relax, run around, eat, sleep. Simple as that." Sonic told him. Of course Sonic said nothing about him and Shadow being together. He then glanced at Shadow, who looked back.
"How about you Amy?" the echidna asked.
"Me? I went to the nearby youth center and helped around there for a bit, and I started learning how to drive. I can pretty much do it by now. Other than that, it was just shopping, and hanging out with Cream." she explained.
"Cool, Shadow?" he then asked.
"Do you need to know?"
"Well no not-"
"Then butt out." Shadow finished, cutting Knuckles off. The line moved up, and so did they, as the continued the conversation.
"What about you Knuckles?" The rosy pink hedgehog asked.
"Me? The usual. Hitting the gym, protecting the master emerald, breaking punching bags. Same old, same old." He told her.
"Alright then." She muttered, wondering to herself why she even bothered asking
Shadow then stepped next to Sonic, and Sonic glared at him again.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Sonic hissed, barely audible so only Shadow heard it
"Well, I didn't think you'd sleep in on the first day of school, plus you looked too cute to wake up while you were sleeping." Shadow whispered back, a slight grin on his face.
"Still..." Sonic muttered.
"Tell you what, I won't do it again, I promise." Shadow told him.
"Oh, alright." Sonic said.
Amy then finally stepped up to the desk. The teacher, a red, female hedgehog, sporting a pair of glasses, a green slimming shirt, and a pair of jeans. Added onto that were a pair of one inch heels.
"Your name?" The teacher asked.
"Amy rose." Amy told her.
The woman then flipped through the schedule pages, until she found Amy's. She then handed it to her.
"Welcome to Mobius High school miss Rose." The teacher told her. Amy then took the sheet and smiled.
"Thank you." Amy replied, stepping to the side, apparently waiting for the rest of us.
Knuckles then walked up. "I'm-" the teacher then cut him off.
"I'm well aware of who your are Knuckles. You started most of the fights in the cafeteria last year, and got plenty of detentions for your trouble. I hope we don't have a repeat performance." She told him. She then handed him his schedule.
"Uh...alright." Knuckles replied, a small grimace on his face. He then stepped next to Amy, reading his new schedule.
Next, was Shadow.
"Name?" She asked.
Shadow followed the same routine as the other two, and received his schedule.
Sonic, then stepped up.
"Sonic the-" But Sonic was suddenly stopped as a paper was handed to him, before he could finish saying his name.
"Of course I know who you are, now move along." she told him.
He nodded, and joined the others, and they began walking down the semi-crowded halls of the school. Amy was admiring her new surroundings, as thoughts flew through her head, as she wondered what her first day would be like. Shadow, as usual was looking straight ahead, almost ignoring everyone. Knuckles was looking around for familiar faces from his previous year, and Sonic was just casually walking next to Shadow, a grin on his face.
"Hey guys!" a familiar voice called out. The four then turned around to see one of their good friends, Miles 'Tails' Prower.
"Hey Tails, great to see you!" Amy said. Sonic nodded, happy to see his best friend once again. Shadow had the same indifferent look on his face. Knuckles managed a small smile, but turned back around and kept walking.
"Knuckles?" Tails asked.
"What? If we don't keep going we'll be late for class!" Knuckles told them.
"I have AP Math. Nice start for my freshman year." Tails said. None of them were surprised he got the class, after all, he was probably the smartest kid on mobius. "how about you guys?"
"I've got biology, then gym." Sonic told them.
"I have gym after my first class." Shadow said.
"That's great." Sonic told him.
"I have Physics class first." Amy mumbled, sounding disappointed that she wasn't in the same class as Sonic.
"Hey, I have the same first class too." Knuckles told her.
"Good to know..." Amy muttered, even more disappointed.
"Hey Amy, cheer up." Tails told her.
"Alright, let's get to class." Shadow told them.
"See ya!" Tails told them, running towards his first class of high school.
"Alright Amy, lets get to class." Knuckles told her.
"Fine. See you later Sonic." She said, and the two walked to Physics class, turning their backs on ebony and azure. The hallway was completely empty now, as Sonic then stepped up to Shadow and rested a kiss on his lips. The kiss lasted several seconds before the two broke apart.
"Good luck." Sonic told him.
"Same for you." Shadow replied, smirking. Then in the blink of an eye, Sonic sped away, leaving Shadow to walk to his class.
Interesting first chapter? I hope so. Let's see how things go along for the two lovers. I'll update soon hopefully. Later.
