Chapter 1
Amy's P.O.V
...I wanna dedicate this to those who never made it
From kindergarten to the 12th I never graduated
Yo, but college wasn't for some of us
So we joined the service
I seen a kid get murdered in 'Nam listening to Elvis
But on the out looking in
Things stay the same
But at the same vein
Looking out the whole world's changed
So keep your head up
Don't get caught up in the fast bucks
And find your mom crying while your lying in a black tux
Trust me
We don't need no education says a young man
Sitting in class
(Sitting in class)
School is out 3 o'clock on the dot
He had beef with some kids and he got shot, oh Lord.
I bobbed my head along to the music with my pencil and sketching pad in my hand. I couldn't help but look out the window to see the beautiful day. I couldn't see it. It didn't exist. I knew it didn't exist. Everything this song was implying was completely right in my life. Living in the ''hood'' as most mobians called it wasn't very pleasant. You always had to watch your back. And not to forget to mention how lucky you'd be to be in a gang. I shut myself completely from this world, always staying lock in my room unlike my brothers and sisters. My oldest brother, Jamar or as we call him; Jaybird was always out on the streets. His best friend Johnny was shot last week from a robbery they done a while ago. Some say the killers are after him now. Mom thought it was best to send him over to Aunt Claire's but that didn't work. Jamar is home safe...for now.
Not only did we worry about Jaybird's life, but also our mother's strength. My dad finally left us for a new family after our little brother, Kendall was conceived. Mom tries to raise eleven kids on her own, but half the time she barely knows where is who and when they coming back. Especially my twin, Rosy. She was always out and about although she was nothing like our brother, Jaybird. Every single night it would be a new date; new guy. If he was lucky she'd take him home and I would be sleeping on the couch or in Laura and Almira's room.
Being the eighth oldest child wasn't hard, I guess. I had some special priorities like if I wanted to go out on my own mom wouldn't mind. She trusted me unlike Rosy and the others. I done well in school although I didn't have any friends. I only hung out with a cream colored rabbit named Cream. The irony, right? She was alright for a friend. She invited me over, other times I turned her down. She always walked to school with me and went places with me. I'd say we've become very close since we first met. The best part about Cream? She has a normal family, even if her dad died when she was very young. She has a step-dad that loves her as if she was his from the beginning and she has this adorable four-year-old little brother. Keaton? I think that was his name. Cream's mother, Vanilla was the sweetest woman I ever met. She was kind and could be trusted. I knew I envied Cream. She had a better life than me and the best part is that she lived in the suburbs.
When I stared out the window again this time my earphones out my ears. The sun was beginning to set and the nightly nightmares were soon coming forth. Something unfamiliar caught my eyes. A large moving van was outside and then two other Uhauls came. I cocked my head to the side, confused. The drivers got out the car and began moving the boxes into the empty house across the street. Wow! Someone was moving back there? No one ever touched that place ever since I was six! The woman that lived there was murdered in her own upstairs bathroom. They never caught the killer and they found her body when I was ten. I never knew the woman, but from the neighborhood she was the sweetest woman that lived in this part of the projects.
I raised my window for some air. A few voices I heard that was new to the neighborhood. Two boys, a green hedgehog, carrying a football and a blue hedgehog running a few paces down. I watched them ,curious at what they were doing. Suddenly the ball went flying and the blue hedghog caught it skillfully. ''Touchdown for Sonic!'' The blue hedgehog threw the ball towards the green hedgehog. ''Stop being so cocky all the time, bro!" The green hegehog shouted.
''Amyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!'' Great, my annoying twin sister pops into our room wearing one of her skimpy outfits she thinks is cute. She annoyed the hell out of me...like all the time. ''Amy!''
''What?''
''Come with me to the store.'' She plopped down on my bed, playing with my ankles. I pulled away from her. ''Why can't you go by yourself?''
''You know how paranoid mom gets.''
''Call one of your booty calls.'' My ears perked when I heard her laugh.
''Amy!'' flipped her hair, a sign she always does to get her way. It worked most of the time. ''Please.'' Then it was the eyes. The large green eyes we shared that could manipulate anyone. Anyone...but each other.
I sighed loudly before climbing off the bed and closing the window down. ''I'll be ready in two minutes.'' She gave a squeak and ran into the bathroom. I walked ot the closet and pulled out something simple; jeans and a shirt that said 'Pink Brat'. Rosy and I shared different styles. I loved the girly fhasion trend, but I also liked comfy things such as sweats and a baggy shirt. Rosy loved those outfits that shows all her assets. We were both growing wonderfully, but I was fine with leaving mines hidden. Living in a neighborhood like this means you're just asking to be raped. Last week little sweet Angela only thirteen was raped and became pregnant a few weeks later. And I know Rosy isn't a virgin any longer. I wonder who her first was?
I walked downstairs the T.V. was blasting with Laura, Almira and Kendall watching Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. They seriously loved that movie. This is like the fifteenth time they watched it this week! I grabbed the controller from the table and turned it down.
''Hey!'' Kendall gave me a disapproval look.
''You're the only three watching T.V. I think you can hear it well enough.'' I set the controller back down. Mom was working in late again and from the kitchen I saw Melanie and Tyler cooking dinner. ''What we having?'' I asked.
Tyler placed a few bowls on the table as I grabbed a fruit from the basket. ''Aren't you going to the store with Rosy?'' He asked me and I nodded. He grabbed a list from the Fridge and handed it to me. ''Grab these items on the list. That way dinner will be finished by time mom gets back. And don't go to that one store Glendale Avenue. Go to the one by Lake Montgomery, will you? That place has amazing taste in spices!'' I nodded, uninterested. Tyler was a good cook-no, scratch that! He was an amazing cook! Just like him, Melanie was his in-training girl. ''You want anything, Melanie?'' I asked.
''Buy some Pads!'' She shouted towards me. Tyler stared at her as if she'd grown two heads. She smiled sheepishly at him. ''What? A girl has to bleed and it's only preparing our-''
''I know what it does!'' Tyler shook his head. ''It still doesn't erase the fact that I think it's disgusting.''
''It's called nature.'' I chimed in.
''Nature stinks.'' Tyler threw the some of the bowls in the sink. ''Now, I don't feel like cooking.'' He joked.
''Lets go Amy!'' Rosy shouted from the stairs. I grabbed another apple from the tray and out the door we left.
We stopped on the front porch. The evening lights were bright orange, making us see through the night. I heard the same voices from upstairs and saw the two same guys throwing the football around. Rosy had that look in her eye when she was ready for a new boy toy. I stared at the direction and caught a glimspe at the both of them. The green one seemed to caught my twin's eyes as she strode over towards them. I blocked her path. ''The store.'' I pointed the other way.
''Can't I just have a little bit of fun?'' She brushed past me with a flip of her hair. I'm quite tired of Rosy doing this, like, all the time. Whenever we see cute boys she makes it her right to talk to them! What if they have an girlfriend? Wife? Older guy? She's so clueless sometimes! Sometimes? All the time!
''Hi.'' I could hear her sultry voice from where I was standing. I rolled my eyes and stomped my way by her side just in time for her to say, ''Why come you move here?'' I stayed quiet, finding my shoes interesting to stare at.
''You know,'' the green one chuckled. ''Family business.''
''Yeah.'' Rosy agreed. ''So, you have a girlfriend?''
''No. Why?'' He stared at her, suspiciously. I finally looked into his blue eyes. On the side of him the other hedgehog caught me looking at him. A blush crept up onto my face as I looked away. ''My name's Rosy and this is my sister, Amy.'' A flip of her hair and she motioned to me. I waved in a lazy way. ''Hey.''
''Not much enthusiam meeting new people, I see.'' The green hedgehog chuckled. ''No worries my name's Scrouge and this bafoon-''
''Shut yo monkey lookin-ass up!'' The blue hedgehog interrupted him. Scrouge laugh. ''My name's Sonic.''
''And just like his name he's super fast.'' Scrouge said.
''Nice to meet you young ladies.'' Sonic extended his hand to shake ours, each planting a kiss atop.
Rosy giggled. ''He's such a gentlemen!'' Yeah, a gentlemen. Which threw me a good distance off. I was the only one who caught the look on Sonic's face. It was friendly and inviting. I gulped and never turned to look back at him. Rosy managed to get to know Scrouge a bit more before they were called inside the house by a female they dubbed as Sonia. I guess a sister?
Just like we planned to do earlier, we walked to the store. We didn't take Glendale as I told Rosy Tyler wanted us to go on Lake Montgomery. So we did. The store was small and affordable for buying things we need. We didn't have much money as mom always stated when we wanted things. When Christmas came around or my birthday I don't expect to get anything since we don't have much money. My mom worked in a cafe as a waitress, so she worked below minimum wage, but she did love us. She'd never give up on his like dad done so many years ago.
''I don't feel like going home.'' I hear Rosy sigh.
''Why not?''
''Mom going to give me the shitload again.'' She huffed as as we waited in line to pay for our items. I wanted to laugh. Mom always gave Rosy the talk about a successful life, but Rosy wasn't interested in any of that.
''Don't worry-''
''I'm not.'' She sharply told me. ''I'm going over Xavier's tonight.''
''You still messing with that retarded fool?''
''He's not retarded, Amy!"' Rosy rolled her eyes. And...wait for it...the hair flip. ''He's very sweet and cares about me.''
''So did John, Ryan, Markus, Logan.'' Mind me that those names aren't real. I was only making a joke so Rosy can understand how stupid her decision is.
''Whatever.'' When it was finally our turn, I put in the pin code to pay for the items. Once that was done we walked with the bags back home.
''What about that green hedgehog? He seemed to like you.'' Sadly, he didn't know what he was in for.
''Scrouge?'' Rosy's eyes lit up. ''Oh yeah, he's very worth it. I'll give it a few weeks before I have sex with him.''
''Thank you for putting it very vague.'' I didn't need her to give me the visual setting. ''Hope everything goes well with you and him.'' Sometimes I began to think my sarcasm is real.
''And his brother?''
Brother? ''What about him?''
''Sonic. He's very hot. You could get him-''
I stopped her right there, shaking my head rapidly. ''No, no, no, no, no. I'm good.''
''You need to get laid.'' She playfully said to me. I huffed at her and shook my head. She pouted at me. ''Don't get mad at me. This coming from the girl who never had a boyfriend in her life and when they become interested in you, you'll lose your chance!''
''Good.'' I nodded. ''They don't need a chance anyway.''
''Why do you have to be so...'' Rosy was fuming with words as she looked around the dark surrounding. Standing outside in the middle is kinda dangerous for two fourteen year old girls. ''You!'' If it was troubling her to get that out, I could do nothing about it but shrugged. We continued to trek home.
