Sonic
The prom is coming soon. I wish I had the courage to ask my crush, Celina, to it. She's so nice and she's really cute. But I'm not the only boy who likes her. There are a lot of guys who would do almost anything to be her date. I don't have a chance. Besides, I'm way too shy and busy with fighting with Eggman and his robots to set my sights on anyone. Hey, here comes Silver. I'm glad he doesn't like Celina. I he has a crush on Sarah. But anyway, he's a little weird sometimes.
"Hey Sonic! What's on your mind?" he asked me. Curse his ever present cheerfulness in this situation.
"What do you think future boy?" I replied. I saw him pretending to think about it, even though he probably knew. He was smirking the whole time.
"I know! Are you thinking of Celina?" He said with an innocent looking smile.
"Wow, you're a real genius." I said sarcastically and I could tell I was blushing, because my cheeks were slightly burning, and also Silver was smiling so wide that I thought he might soon be able to fit a textbook in his mouth. I sometimes want to strangle him. He looked behind me and his smile disappeared and he started staring at something. I'm guessing that Sarah is standing somewhere behind me. I glanced quickly over my shoulder. Yep, Sarah's standing a few feet behind me. I waved my hand in Silver's face. No effect.
"Uh, Silver? Are you going to come back soon?" I asked him and I snapped my fingers in his face. He recovered and then looked at me again.
"Uh, I've got to go Sonic." He said and started staring at Sarah again. "And by the way, if you want to ask Celina to the prom, you better hurry. Luckily no one has asked her yet." He said to me as he walked over to Sarah. I watched him, and then I saw Celina was coming! I pretended that I was getting something from my locker, and glanced at her to make sure she didn't see me. She and Sarah are best friends so it's not that surprising that if you see one, then the other is probably not going to be very far away. I watched Silver walking up to Sarah. She was leaning against the locker in a boyish manner. I had to keep myself from laughing, since she looked kind of strange for a girl. We have school uniforms, and usually girls had to wear a white button shirt, and a blue skirt. Even though you could have long ones, they were still skirts, and Sarah doesn't like skirts. After a quick talk with the principal, Sarah finally got them to allow her to wear the boys' uniform. They also let her wear a cap, which she wore all the time to keep her hair up, which she never cuts shorter than below her waist. She almost never took it off, and no one tried to take it off, since even though she looks innocent, she could fix someone in a split second. She looked like a boy, and if you thought about it, she was good looking as a boy, but no one really knows what she would look like if she looked like a girl. In fact, that was one of the biggest topics when she first came here. A lot of people thought she probably would look breathtaking. Anyway, back to the situation. Silver was now saying hi to Sarah, who looked down at him. That's another thing that's sort of strange about Sarah, she's abnormally tall. Most of us are a little taller than three feet, while she's almost four feet. So, even though she was slightly leaning against the lockers, she could still look down at him. She smiled at him.
"Hey Silver. How are you doing?" she asked him.
"I'm doing okay. Uh, can I ask you something?" Silver said nervously. He looks like an idiot, though I've got to hand it to him, I don't think I'd ever have the courage to ask Celina.
"Sure, go ahead." She said, and seemed as she was actually paying attention to him. This was interesting, since Sarah usually only paid attention if she knew what a person was going to say and it interested her, if the person was her friend, or if she liked that person.
"Uh, will you go to the prom with me?" He asked "If you do you don't have to wear a dress, it doesn't require it."
"Sure, that sounds good." She said. Silver seemed to relax. Celina stared at Sarah as if she had done something amazing.
"Oh, and Celina, I have a message for you." Silver said as he turned towards her. I hope that it's just something from one of their friends.
"Sonic wants to know if you'd like to go to prom with him. He's too shy and heroic to ask you himself." Silver told her.
I'm going to kill him.
"Tell him I'd love to go to the prom with him." Celina said, slightly blushing.
"Okay, I'll let him know." Silver said. Right then the bell rang.
"See you Silver." Sarah said and leaned down and gave Silver a kiss on the cheek. He blushed deeply at it, and smiled nervously.
"Yeah, bye." He said, and I swear he was watching her as she walked to class.
"So, I guess we both have dates for the prom, though I didn't ask to have one."
"Yeah… We do." Silver said absentmindedly. I snickered, and punched him in the shoulder from behind. "Ow! What did you do that for?" Silver yelled at him.
"You were off in dreamland. I know you like her, but you are seriously overreacting." I said to him.
"Well, at least I can ask the girl I like to the prom. I had to ask Celina for you!" Silver said, elbowing me.
"I didn't ask you to ask her for me. Besides, if you score according to popular opinion, I'm the winner, because I have one of the cutest girls in school as my date." I shot back.
"Yeah, but I like girls with more than just looks. Not that I'm saying that's all Celina is. I like girls with character, and who don't care that much about their looks." Silver said, and I smiled slightly.
"It's a good thing Sarah wasn't tired of being shy" I told him.
"What do you mean?" he asked me. I smiled. He had no idea.
"She may seem outgoing, but she never talks to her crush." I said to him, and he looked at me in interest. He was about to say something, but than the bell rang again to signal to be on class.
"Oops, we better get to class. See you Silver!" I yelled as I ran to my class.
Silver
What does Sonic mean? Sarah has a crush? If she does, then why did she decide to go with the prom with me? All these questions ran through my head as I ran to class, hoping to get there before the late bell. I made it in just in time. Then I remembered that I hadn't gotten my books. There was no way to get them now. I walked to my desk, and to my surprise, my books were sitting on the desk.
"How did those get there?" I whispered to myself. Then the teacher came in, and we opened the textbook. I opened my book to the page we were told, and there was a note:
I thought you might need this. Next time the bell rings, get your books instead of staring at me. I got in so much trouble dropping them off for you instead of being in Science.
~Sarah
I read the note, and had to keep myself from smiling. I can't believe she dropped my books off for me. But how did she know I was staring at her? And how did she get my stuff? I guess I'll have to ask her later. The person next to me saw it.
"Cool, Sarah dropped off your books for you. Are you her friend or something?" He asked me. I nodded.
"I guess you could say that." I replied.
"Nice. I thought she had a crush on Shadow, but I guess not." He said and turned back to his own work. I stared at him for a moment. I guess that's what Sonic was talking about. I'll have to ask him about it at lunch. We spent the whole class time writing a few paragraphs about the history of literature. I hope my other classes aren't as boring. When the bell rang, everyone else was either done, or just finishing. I finished mine just in time for the bell. I ran out of the classroom and headed towards my locker. When I tried to undo the lock, it wouldn't work. I tried it a few more times, but it still wouldn't work.
"You need help?" someone asked me. I turned around, and Sarah was standing there.
"Uh, sure. My combination is-"
"17, 28, 4. I know. But I don't think that's your lock." She said, and started turning the lock. She stopped at 20, 9, and 15. To my surprise it popped open.
"How did you do that?" I asked her, and she shrugged.
"It's Sonic's lock, which means that I better go make sure he doesn't have yours." She said, and went to Sonic's locker, which was only 2 away from mine. She opened the locker, took the lock off, and put his lock on it. She came back with another lock, which looked just like the other one to me.
"How do you know our combinations?" I asked her.
"I've gotten Sonic's stuff before, and I remembered his combination, like yours." She told me.
"Yeah but how did you find out what our combinations are?" I asked her. She was really confusing me.
"It's something I learned. It's easy once you've done it a few times." She told me. "You better get to class, or else you'll be late. This time, get your stuff."
"What about you? Aren't you going to be late?" I asked her. She just smiled.
"I'll be fine. You worry about yourself. Besides, what's the worst they could do?" she said and started walking away.
"They could keep you from going to the prom, especially if your parents find out." I said, and she stopped. She turned around. She was smiling.
"Who said that I have parents? Besides, nothing could keep me from the prom, not now that I have a date." She said. "Now stop worrying about me, I've been fending for myself since I was 10." I was speechless. There was a lot to Sarah that I didn't know.
"Um, okay." I said to myself. I got my books out of my locker and closed it. I walked to my next class, which was Math. I stumbled through it, but at least it wasn't boring. Thankfully, it ended before I got too confused by it. My last class before lunch was Art. Other than Video, it's my favorite class. We're painting something or someone we see everyday, and I chose Sarah, since she seems like an interesting person to paint, and I see her everyday. I guess also because I like her so much. I think I got pretty far when the bell rang again. I was one of the last people to get out, since I was at the back. When I got to the table I shared with the guys in my group, it was nearly full. There was just enough room for three more people. Thankfully, I got a seat next to Sonic. Unfortunately, It was also near Shadow, and if what the one guy said was true, than I don't want him to overhear.
"Hey Silver, how's it going?" Sonic asked me.
"I'm doing fine. What did you mean when you said that Sarah never talks to her crush? Who's her crush?" I replied. He just smiled.
"I though you would have been told by now, especially since Sarah risked getting in trouble to bring you your stuff. She even took the time to leave a note in your textbook, at the exact page you were going to turn to." He answered. I stared at him.
"How do you know that? Did she tell you?" I asked him. He smiled more.
"Maybe."
"Fine. Well anyway, I think I do know who it is, I'm just not sure if I'm correct. Is it Shadow?" I asked, and Sonic nodded. Thankfully Shadow didn't overhear because he was talking to someone.
"Hey guys, I heard that Sarah's going to the prom with someone." Manic said as he sat down, taking the second-to-last space. Everyone was paying attention to him now.
"Really?" Shadow asked. I thought he looked a little more mad than excited at the news.
"Yeah really!" Manic answered.
'I wonder if she's going to wear a dress." Knuckles said.
"I wonder what she would look like in a dress." Sonic added.
"I wonder who asked her." Tails said, adding to the things that people were wondering.
"I bet Sonic did." Shadow said.
"Dude, you know he likes Celina." Manic said, and Sonic started blushing.
"Shut up Manic!" Sonic yelled at him, and Manic snickered.
"Hey guys, look! She's coming over here!" Knuckles said. We all looked in the direction of the line. Sure enough, she was making her way over here.
"Oh crap." I said, and everyone at the table, except for Sonic, who was trying not to laugh, looked at me.
"Hey guys, how are you doing? Can I sit here?" she asked, and Sonic nodded.
"Sure you can, no one will mind." He said.
"Thanks!" she said, and sat down next to me. I had to keep from blushing at how close she was to me. She was nearly touching me.
"So Sarah, we heard you're going to the prom. Whom with?" Manic asked her. She smiled.
"Someone who I like and who is sitting at this table." She said. Everyone turned their eyes to Shadow.
"It's not me, I swear." He said.
"Can you tell us please?" Tails said.
"Only if it's okay with everyone at this table." She said, and we all nodded, because if I said no, they would know right away that it was me.
"Okay, it's Silver. And to answer the question that I know you're going to ask next, yes, I will be wearing a dress." She told them.
It was becoming really hard for me to stop blushing as I continued to eat my food.
