Hi, it's XxteardropsofmyguitarxX and I wanted to write another story I have been working on before and decided to write it down. So this one I added an OC to make it a bit interesting even I find it a bit awkward at first but then I got used to it so yeah. Please enjoy this story and remember NO negative comments

Disclaimer: I, XxteardropsofmyguitarxX do NOT own anything

"Come on Knuckle, we don't have time of this' I sighed

Waiting outside of the door for ten minutes or more for that stupid red echidna getting ready so that we could go out but not kind of a date. It's just hanging out and every minutes passed by so fast not noticing and I'm staring to lose my patience.

"Okay, I'm done' he pull out the door slightly exiting his way out to his place facing where I'm standing slowly closing the door. 'Now, we could go out'

'Finally, what took you so long? I have been waiting for you for so long for 2 hours for you to get ready, wow! know wonder why you came late to school.

'Shut up! I'm not and beside you take the shower the longest so I wouldn't be complaining" knuckles defended. I gave him a long glare before turning my head back from where I'm staring.I don't want to admit this but It's quite true since I'm the one who get ready the longest for many reason but for a guy like him it shouldn't be so hard to do it and beside knuckle shouldn't be that slow enough

'Alright, fine maybe I took so long but you shouldn't be that late' I replied 'and by the way you looked nice today' I added

The echidna couldn't help but smile back for my complement that made him feel a little better

It's a typical nice day in the city and quite sunny as the weather is calm and breezy and slightly windy. I enjoy the weather as I was taking a stroll walking next to the red echidna stepping on the pavement. Just so naturally and since I want to spend my last day for summer in a nice peaceful way, I decided why not spend it on a nice old fashioned way.

Knuckle and I were great friend ever since I moved to Florida last summer with my uncle and aunt and I couldn't explain how we met but it's started quite awkward since I moved in a apartment three flat above his and since his mom wanted him to see the new neighbour that moved above, he decided to visit since it isn't going to bothering him right? Well actually he isn't interesting at all but his mom kind of persuade him and said that maybe he'll meet new people but I don't know why she ask him to do it since she can go and visit us but hey I never thought me and him would get along that fast on the first day.

You might be wondering who is this person who is going out with the red echidna, well let me introduce myself. My name is Skylar. I'm just an average kind of girl, well not kind of average but let say quite special quiet and slightly sensitive kind of girl and a pale purple hedgehog (just to make it specific) have a short dark hair wearing bright orange dress with dark grey sneaker. I'm a bit outcast person who don't talk a lot and not really confident enough to meet new people each day beside I don't have guts for that but I get interesting seeing great awesome people who have a great personality and good to start a conversation but doesn't mean I can't be sweet and nice. Well I don't want to be all that gushy and such a sweetheart and innocent beside I have a wild and a little crazy sometimes but hey all I want is just to be myself only not copying anybody stuff or anything.

'So, any plans for this new years since you're starting freshmen here' knuckle mentioned

'HUH! Oh yeah I haven't planned anything yet for this year but just to wish that freshmen isn't so hard than I expect' I said

You know school is going to start tomorrow and you haven't planned anything. How in the world are you going to get ready for high school' the ruby echidna snapped

"Relax knux I'm going with Rouge this afternoon for shopping for items that we need for tomorrow, don't worry. Gee you really need to take some chill pills' I teased him giving him a small nudge

"Be quite' the echidna hissed

No, really you should I mean it' I added. That echidna can sure get easily upset for some reasons. Knuckles looked at me with a serious glare probably getting pissed for what I said but I was just only joking around with him but sometime he really takes thing seriously especially when I make jokes about the master emerald and him taking care of it. I mean really who would want to waste their time watching or babysitting something that doesn't moved at all. Not me

'Alright knuckle I take it back from what I have said' knuckle may have heard what I said but didn't reply as he's still walking staring at the ground. We crossed the street to reached the place where we usually call it our hangout but it's a café spot just around the corner next to nice boutique shop and mini market. We entered the café grab a nice seat to sit and enjoyed the view of the streets bustling.

"So knux have you plan something new this year' I asked

'Yeah but it's a bit short by the way we're freshmen we shouldn't expect something more. Don't we?

'Yeah, but we're going to high school, not elementary and it's way different in here and I..I' I stutter nervously worrying about what is going to happened this high school. I don't like showing soft weak side to other to show that I weak, is that I could get sensitive at times when I get worried and anxiety and trying to hold my feeling so I won't able to show to him

'Hey, don't worry I'll be there for you whenever you need' the echidna gently put his hand on my on the table knowing that I'm a bit nervous. I hate when he know that I feeling that strange that he tried to be all that nice but to be honest I'm okay and I don't need be told that everything is going to be alright since it is. Right?

'Thanks' I took my hand back away for the table where I put

'So tell me about you girlfriend Rouge?' I smirked at the echidna while he blushed after mentioning her name. I don't know if Rouge and knuckle are dating or not but I have seen them getting along quite well very since even thought knux always said that that bat isn't his type and she just only flirting and giving me some lame excuses but as for me I think he's trying to hide it and maybe not ready to tell it.

'She isn't my girlfriend Skylar and I really don't like her at all cost.

Yeah right, I bet you're lying to me' I thought to myself giving faint smile to the echidna

"Okay but to me it seem that you guys are getting along very well' My smirk grow wider making the echidna blush even more harder that his skin

'Okay can't we cut the crap about her and talk something else' he sounded annoyed for a while I did what he said but I have another question to ask

'Okay but one thing, why do you hate that Call me maybe song' wow! That question sure looked stupid to ask

"Because that song is annoying and horrible and carly rae jepsen sucks! The echidna yelp annoyed

"Gee knux you don't have to shout at me, you couldn't at least ignore that question' I said finding amused at the grumpy echidna

'Well you being such an annoying brat' he hissed not looking back at me

'Well sorry, gosh' I crossed my arms for disapproval for his reaction. Gosh sometimes I could hate knuckles guts when he became pissed off for some small reasons but I couldn't help but like the way he get upset that easily, that maybe I become friends with him

It's was a short silence for while before I started to speak. 'hey you want to get slush drink' I asked. The echidna glare at me from the ground nodded his head for agree with me. I gesture my finger at the waiter who is stand a meters away from us giving a signal to order something. She came to us right away without delay

"Can I get you something ? The waiter asked as she flips her notebooks and click her pen to get ready to write

'Yeah, I would like to get to get two slush please and the original, strawberry and kiwi" I ordered

"Alright, coming right up' the waiter left quickly getting our drinks leaving me and knuckle waiting

'How's tails and cream" I asked. Not to mention even knuckle spend most of his time guarding the master emerald, he also baby-sits creams and tails. You wonder why would he babysit these kids when he could spend his day sitting looking at huge emerald that doesn't move a single bit, but Hey!, I don't mind at all what it does do althought i don't care at all.

'Are you still upset of me?' I wonders of his attitude. "No, I'm fine. I'm just thinking' he replied

I lift my left brows of curious to know what's he thinking about and he still have his sight on the ground for a long time arm crossed. I was focusing on him till the waiter came back with our drinks standing on the circular tray where the waiter was holing on one hand. "Here are your drinks mama, that will be $5.99'

'I'll pay it this time" the echidna pull his wallet to give the money to the waiter

"Wh..thank you knuckle for that" I acted like a lady who is pleased for what the a echidna did smiling mischievous. The waiter left off after getting the money and now we can enjoy this beautiful day at the café drinking our strawberry kiwi slush.

After half hour of chilling. My phone started to vibrate. It's must be a text message but I wonder who's text me, it's can't be my aunt or can it. I reached my I-phone from my dress pocket and take a look at it then I sighed

'What the matter' knuckle asked

'It's Rouge. I guess she want to shop early since she can't waste time' I sighed again little annoyed. I was having a peacefully moments here and minutes later hell breaks loose. Now I have to drag myself to take a long walk especially going a dreadful shopping trip with Rouge. Don't be so surprise that I don't like shopping. At least I'm not the only girl who hate it, it's not my thing at all.

'Well I got to go' I get my seat off holding my slush almost leaving the café till knuckle speak up again

'Hey, text me when you get back from shopping"

"I'll will' I mutter as I made my way out of the café. I really not in the mood of shop but since school will start on tomorrow , I guess I have no choice but to get prepare for the freshmen but let's hope that this shopping doesn't take that long than I expect.
