Hey everyone. Woo, I completed The Shame Game 1, and I know I said that I would be chilling from the Shame Game series for the summer. But, I know that saying that was a major mistake. Summer? Come on. What am I going to do all summer? Write.

Than again, I also have an idea of making another story, so I guess that this is just a preview. But, on the contraire, if I get many reviews to this, I'll guess people would like to read it, so I will write.

Blah, I just contradicted all that I just said. Jeez. Enough with this! Let's all just get on to that one thing we all love… Disclaimers.

Sonic the Hedgehog, and all related characters are © Of Sega, Sonic Team, and all of their other rightful owners.

This story is © of me. If you see it anywhere else, it's stolen!

Skye the Hedgehog, and all related OC's in this story are also © of me. If you would like to use them, ask me permission. I would like my characters to be seen in other stories!

Anyway, please remember that this is just a fan fiction written by me. This means that I control how OOC a character could act, what made them be that way, etc. Please don't scold me for this; as you all probably do it too!

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Send Me Down an SOS

I stood silently gazing at the horizon among the ocean. The sun was going down. The last day of summer was almost over. I sighed. Going back to school wasn't something I was looking forward to.

I flicked the cigarette that was in my mouth to the ground, dousing it afterward. That was a habit that I got into during the summer. It seemed to always calm me down. I looked at my cell phone. 7:30. It was starting to get late.

I needed to get back to Sonic's house for diner, as much as I wanted to stay with the calming waves. I pulled away from my current position to start walking to my little boat. I created it just after summer started. Sure, it was only made of wood, and took a good amount of manual labor, (paddling at the water every ten seconds,) but it always got me to the little island I discovered.

The island was a nice little one just about a mile from the main land of Beverly Hills. It had a few coconut trees and a small waterfall with a little pond. There was even a little cave. I was thinking of moving out of Sonic's place and build a house of my own here once I graduated.

I reached the main land and tied my little boat to the dock. I took out my cell phone once again to check the time. 7:46. Only a few hours left of summer before the stupid school year starts. Just peachy.

I started walking through the park to get to the house faster. The kids who were there were smiling and having fun, playing with toys, riding bikes, fling kites, and everything else you would imagine a child doing. I used to be like that.

You see, a few months back, my life turned for the worse. The girl of my dreams, Amy Rose, dumped me for some total idiot. That sucked.

Than, two days later, my mother and father died in a train accident. That sucked even worse.

Now, I have no one to show my love and compassion to. I have no inspiration to do better in school like I once did. I have nothing. I distanced away from my group so much, that the only one who I really still talk with is Shadow. I don't even talk with Sonic, and I am living with him, for god's sake!

So, I guess you can call me the 'Emo Kid.' There's no better word to describe me. I walked into my house, which is technically not mine, to have diner. All that I was aware of, was that after the incidents that took place a short two months ago, my life would never be the same.

I woke up to that stupid noise beeping in my ears coming from the alarm clock right beside my ear. I groaned and threw it to the floor. I got out of bed after a lot of willpower, and threw on a black short sleeve shirt. I pulled up a pair of jeans and tied my shoes. Looking into my mirror in my room, I brushed my bangs over my right eye.

During the summer, I got a job in Guitar World, which was a store just down the road from the house. I got paid minimum wage, which was enough to last me. With that money, I already bought an acoustic guitar and some nice new clothes. I even had my eyebrow pierced. I was thinking of getting my lip done.

I hadn't seen Amy since July. We haven't been talking lately. All she ever does is hang out with Scourge.

Not that I objected to any of that, either. It's not like I really wanted to see her. I just sometimes miss her.

I brushed my teeth and left the house, early as it was. I didn't care about what the people in this house thought of me.

I stopped by the cemetery before school. I stop by there every day. I always liked talking to my parents, even if they are now 450 billion miles away.

I stopped at my mom and dad's grave. They were right beside each other. But, there was something different about their graves today. There were fresh flowers on each of them.

I shrugged at that. Maybe it was just tourists that only wanted to show respect to the dead. I sat on my knees before my parents. I looked at their graves.

"Hey Mom, Dad," I started. My voice was deeper and more toneless nowadays. "I know you are far away, but I hope one day you can respond to these messages."

My voice was really quiet. Almost a mumble, even. "My life hasn't gotten any better since you left. I lost most of my friends, got into a few fights, and became a total rebel. What should I do? I mean, what I am doing feels right, but…" I paused, thinking of what to say. "My heart seems to be rejecting everything that I am doing. Please, send me down an Angel."

I sighed and got up. There was still a good hour before school started. Maybe I could sit on the bleachers near the school. I always liked that.

I was seated on the top most bleacher on the far left. I always sat there. I had a notebook with me. The name 'Miles' was written on the front. In the notebook were lyrics, poems, and sketches of different sorts. That was one of my favorite pass-times.

I looked at my arm, which was covered in wrist bands. I missed the good old days. The good old days when I had friends and a group to be with.

The bell wrung, signaling the start of a new school year. I sighed once again. Looks like some things never change.

Well, there's the first chapter. I know it is unbearably short, but it IS only the first chapter. Does everyone like the change in Tails?

Yes? Great.

No? Too bad.

Well, thank you for reading. I will start the Review Replies once I get some reviews. Thanks a lot!

Ciao.
