Ch. 1

(8 years ago)

Fire was covering me, everywhere I looked there was more. I wanted my mommy and daddy. "Mommy," I called. I heard her scream. She ran up to me and picked me up. "C'mon baby, we need to go," she said, running down the hallway. Some of the ceiling collapsed after her. I was scared. Where was daddy? Wasn't he supposed to protect us? Some of the wall fell in front of us. My mommy made a turn and ran the other way. She tripped over something. She pushed me toward the door. "Go baby," she said, tears streaming down her face. I shook my head.

"I'm not leaving you Mommy," I said. She smiled and kissed my head.

"You won't be. Just go. I promise this isn't goodbye." I got up and took a step back, still looking at her. "I love you Scourge," she said, forcing a smile. A few tears fell down my cheeks.

"I love you too Mommy," I said, taking a last longing look at her before running out the door. I ran across the street and knocked on my best friend's door. Fiona opened the door, her eyes lighting up but still sad.

"My parents called the popo, they should be here soon," she said. I nodded and looked back at the burning house, more tears falling down my cheeks.

(Present Day, Rosy's POV)

I hopped out the car and made my way toward the school. My first day as a sophomore in a new school. I was actually happy for once. I had heard nothing but good things about this school. I had everything I needed like a schedule, school map, and my locker combo. I walked into the logoed hallways. The logo of a screaming bear stared back at me. I smiled to myself and made my way to my locker. Two girls were on either side of my locker. I smiled wider as I approached them. "Hi," I said. The cat and bunny turned toward me and smiled. "Hi I'm Blaze," the purple cat said. I shook her outstretched hand.

"And I'm Cream," the beige bunny said. I smiled at them both and put in my locker combo.

"I'm Rosy," I said. Blaze smiled.

"You seem like the cheerleader type. You're pretty, your peppy, you seem like you're in good shape. Bet you can kick Fiona off cheerleading captain in a second," she said. Cream nodded in agreement.

"And you're actually curvy, not like all those sticks on the squad," she said. I blushed, flattered.

"Well, not to brag or anything but I've been cheerleading since I was old enough. I think I started at five," I said, hoping not to sound self-conscious. They both smiled and their eyes opened up.

"When try outs come around, we're all trying out," Blaze said. I giggled. Cream's eyes suddenly were fixed on something behind me and so was Blaze.

"What are you guys," I started, turning around. That's when I noticed him. He was walking down the hallway, shades pulled up on his head, his green quills shook out, his ice blue eyes cool, and his full lips pulled up into a smirk. His leather jacket covering his fitted green tee and skinny jeans with the green sneakers were enough to say he had style. I actually thought he was cute before I noticed he was checking girls out. His eyes turned to me and his smirk grew slyer. Player. I turned back around, pulling my shirt down over my butt. Just because I was new doesn't mean I didn't know what players wanted and what they did. Cream stood by Blaze suddenly, both their wide eyes on me. "What," I asked. They nodded their heads behind me. I turned to see that green hedgehog. "Hello there," his deep voice said. I faked a smile.

"Hi I'm not for sale, so keep it moving," I said. He smirked.

"Cute, very cute."

"I know right, but not cute for you."

"Not yet."

"Not ever, not in the afterlife, not in the underworld, never."

"You try and keep up to that promise, but you watch, you're gonna fall hard for me." I laughed. I turned to my friends, laughing and pointing to him. "Is he funny or what," I asked. They smiled and nodded. I turned back to him, my smile gone as was my laughter, turning my face into a scowl. "Not even in your dreams would I ever fall for you," I said. He put up his hands.

"Whoa there kitty, how bout we talk about this over a cup of coffee."

"I'm fifteen. I don't drink coffee."

"Frappuccino's then?"

"What part of I'm not for sale don't you get?" He licked his lips.

"Who said I wouldn't get a discount?"

"I did. My body, my rules."

"Rules? My kind of girl."

"Pig? Not my kind of guy." I walked past him, leaving him dumbstruck. He was so cocky. Sure he was hot, but he could at least treat girls like they mean something to him. Cream and Blaze caught up to me. "Do you know who you just dissed," Cream asked.

"No, but he seemed like a jerk."

"That was Scourge the Hedgehog, major hottie."

"Any sports?"

"Basketball."

"Player?"

"The biggest one in town," Cream piped in.

"That's all I need to know. He needs to be avoided."

"Rosy's right, maybe we need to get over him," Blaze said. I nodded.

"He's such a jerk. Was he always like this?"

"No, it started in sixth grade when we got to junior high. He used to be really quiet and good. But then he just started dating all these girls, kept getting in trouble, and now he's here," Cream explained.
"He's a jerk," I concluded. I reached my classroom and departed from my new friends. There were a lot of people in there. I suddenly lost my confidence and walked quietly to the front table. I heard a chair slip in next to me. I looked up to see him. I growled to myself. He smiled at me.

"Hello there beautiful," he said.

"Leave me alone Scourge."

"So we're on first name bases now? Okay then Rosy."

"How did you know my name?"

"My secret ways."

"Secret ways called eavesdropping."

"Wow, you're smart, I love smart chicks."

"And I hate you." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes. He was too annoying. Our work was on the board so I opened my history book to the right page and started reading.

Her side bang fell into her eyes droopingly. She pushed it back to the side, her green eyes still focused on the reading. Her lips were so red and glossy they made my mouth water. Her legs were crossed with gave me a look at her small thick thighs. I liked my lips in satisfaction. This girl was going to be mine. My eyes moved back to her face, still surprised at how beautiful she was. "Stop making me feel violated Scourge," she said, annoyed. I smiled.

"I'm not doing anything, you are so predictable."

"No actually, you are."

"I'm a good guy, why can't you just believe that?"

"Because it's the end of the day, I've talked to a lot of girls and apparently you seem to be the heartbreaker of the school." My smiled faded.

"I have my reasons."

"For breaking hearts? Oh how nice."

"Rosy, you're thinking the wrong-"

"Then tell me the right," she said, looking at me.

"I can't."

"Because you don't have one, my point entirely taken." I rolled my eyes. Why was I even in this dumb biology room? I looked over at her and smiled. I kissed her cheek before running through the door, slamming it behind me. She wanted to play hard to get? So could I.

I touched my cheek, the part where his lips had connected. When I got my hands on him, I was gonna rip his lungs out. I waited impatiently for the class to end. I wrote my work furiously, still mad that he would even try such a thing. When the bell finally rang, I stormed out the classroom and into the hallway. I searched around for him and found him near my locker. He smiled when he saw me. I glared at him.

"What is wrong with you," I demanded. He looked confused.

"The kiss? Oh just couldn't wait any longer." I saw people staring at us. I felt nervous.

"Just don't kiss me again," I said before walking away. People kept staring at me. I wanted them to stop. Why were all their eyes on me?
