Okay, This is my first attempt at anything like this, so patience and support would be nice. I got the idea for this story from: 40 my own ideas; 30 another fanfic; and 30 from music (weird, I know). But anyways, I am hoping that someone finds this fan fiction interesting, and will give my some tips in any reviews they post. I'm not going to base posting off of number of reviews, I'll post once the next chapter is done. Any spelling mistakes are completely unintentional...

Chapter 1

New Guy

"Class, we have a new student today." Sonic groaned. Another one? That made five this month! It was bad enough that he had to attend High School, but all the interruptions made it worse! At least this would be the last one, as there was only a single desk left. Sonic looked, and was relieved to find that it wasn't near him. Good. He hated the whole orientation process. Sighing, he turned his attention back to the front of the class. The teacher had just finished her whole 'be nice to them' speech, and was motioning for the new student to enter. As Sonic watched the student entered through the door. Upside-down.

Sonic was completely confused. He watched the figure walk along the ceiling like it was the floor, and then flip down to the ground. The teacher, determined to look unfazed, spoke again. "Class, this is your new class mate. Why don't you tell us your name?" The figure nodded. "Torth" The voice was quiet, but not soft. If a voice could be an object, Sonic figured that one would be a sword, or at least a blade. Sonic decided to actually look at the person. He was small, and seemed hunched over. He had yellow eyes, and bright yellow hair, which went from above his eyebrows down to the back of his neck in an unruly mane. He had tall ears. His fur was mainly brown, with yellow highlights. He wore a black hoodie, black pants, and brown gloves, the ends of which disappeared into his sleeves. He had black leather boots, which ended just above his ankles, and were closed with a leather strap. His two most obvious attributes, however, were first, the large brown fox tail with yellow tip, and second, the huge brown wings folded behind his back. Sonic looked hard. There wasn't any species he knew about that had those two features together. The guy had to be a cross breed of some kind. The teacher ushered Torth down the row with the empty desk. As he passed one person, they stuck their foot out. Torth tripped. But before he hit the floor, he slammed his hands down, springing his body into the air he flipped three times, hitting the floor right beside the desk. There, he quietly sat down, and didn't say a word.

After the first class, Sonic raced out of the room. Dashing around corners, he reached the cafeteria ahead of everyone else. A few minutes later, Knuckles, Tails, and Amy showed up. "Hey how's it going?" Sonic inquired. Knuckles laughed. "Don't get me started! I have ANOTHER essay this week." Tails just grinned. "Easy, as usual." Amy smiled. "Just fine, Sonniku!" The blue hedgehog groaned. He hated that nickname. "How was your class?" Tails piped up. Sonic shrugged. "Boring… Well, we did get a new student." "Really? What are they like?" Sonic recalled the memories. "Um, well, he's hunched over, can walk on ceilings, has wings and a tail, and is really good at acrobatics." Knuckles shook his head. "Did you just say that he walks on ceilings?" Sonic nodded. "Came into the class room that way." "Cool." Knuckles grunted. "Is he a chameleon?" Sonic shook his head. "No, he's some kind of cross breed. Bat and Fox, I think." Knuckles nodded. Tails clapped his hands together. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving!" Sonic looked around. Other students were now about to crowd the halls, so it would be wise to grab their lunch. "Okay! Let's grab some food!" With that, Sonic rushed into the cafeteria, heading for the counter.

Biting hungrily into his sandwich, Sonic held a conversation with Knuckles. Tails ate quietly beside him, while Amy ate while staring dreamily at Sonic. Sonic looked up at one point and spotted some other people he knew entering the cafeteria. Shadow, Rouge, Espio, and Omega entered at the same time. Their group was enough to send everyone a distance of 5 feet away at all times. However, after receiving their lunch, they broke apart. Shadow to his own corner table where he brooded, Espio to his circle of friends, all chameleons, Omega to a wall outlet to recharge (As he didn't need to eat), and Rouge to a sparsely populated table. Just as Sonic looked down, Knuckles nudged him. "Hey is that the guy you were talking about?" Sonic looked up again. There was Torth, slipping through the doors. He quietly grabbed a lunch tray, received his portion, and headed for a deserted table. Sonic looked down again. "Yeah, that's him." He took another bite of sandwich. Tuna wasn't his favorite, but it would do. After a few seconds, however, he heard an argument develop in the line. As he watched, the two people came to blows. One of the combatants grabbed a full lunch tray from on of the watching students and heaved it at his opponent. It missed, but continued along its trajectory, a trajectory which appeared to end directly at Rouge's head. Looking up, she saw the tray, full of various edibles, heading straight for her. However, as everyone watched, the tray never hit.

Rouge opened one eye, as Sonic watched, searching for the missile. Sonic then directed his gaze to where the tray was located. It path of flight had it passing the table Torth was sitting at. He had simply reached out his hand and the tray had slammed into it. However, the tray was not dropping to the floor. Then, Torth flexed his hand, and the tray went back along its original course, except with several times the force. The thrower barely dodged it. The tray smashed into the wall, shattering into pieces. A sudden silence descended on the room. Torth sighed; stood up, dumped the rest of his almost untouched lunch into the garbage, place his tray on the stack, and left without a word. Then, voices erupted from the crowd. Tails, however, jumped from his seat, forcing his way to the broken tray. There was no piece bigger than the average spoon. Picking up one of the pieces, he motioned for Sonic to come. Once the hedgehog arrived, Tails turned the piece over. It had a black char mark on it.

Sonic didn't get it. "Maybe it was moving fast enough?" He stated. Tails shook his head. He grabbed a few other pieces, all with marks on them. In a few seconds, he had assembled a surprising picture, a hand print, burned into the plastic. Tails spoke. "I noticed a wisp of smoke when the tray hit. He melted it to his hand. Plus, flexing your hand couldn't send the tray fast enough to do this! He must have a sort of energy ability. Something like your speed, but in another category." Sonic slowly nodded. "So you mean this guy can use energy, or something." Tails shrugged. "I'm just analyzing. It might be. I can't say for sure without solid proof." Sonic slowly grinned. "This day is getting interesting. I'd like to find out what he can do!" With that, Sonic leapt up, and dashed out the door. Knuckles, coming up behind Tails, shook his head. "He forgot his tray, bag, and coat again…"

However, Sonic didn't manage to find the strange guy. When the bell rang, He made his way back to the classroom, grumbling. Once he entered he slapped his forehead. Torth was back at his desk, quietly reading his text. Sitting down, Sonic slipped a quickly scrawled note to Knuckles. After reading the note, which asked if Torth had been there the whole time, Knuckles hid the note and nodded. Sonic bit back a curse. He should have checked, and then he wouldnve, world's" /'t have wasted that much time. Just then, the teacher handed out a surprise pop quiz. Sonic groaned as he looked at the questions. Another 'D', straight up, no sugar. Well, Sonic thought, as he chewed the eraser on the end of his pencil, at least he knew the top three. He quickly jotted down their corresponding answers. The other 7 were beyond him, though… Looking around, he realized the quiz lasted for another 28 minutes. Letting out an audible groan, he scanned everyone else in the room. On the left, Knuckles was busily scribbling, although Sonic knew he would get the same mark. Neither of them was in the top of the class, and Sonic was fine with it that way. Looking to his right, Sally was pondering one of the questions. The blue furred hedgehog let out a sigh. She ALWAYS knew the answers. She was in the top of the class. However, she never gave out any of the answers. Sonic had tried before, but she had stubbornly refused. When later confronted, she said that he had to learn on his own. Then, out of curiosity, Sonic looked over his shoulder at the new guy, Torth. The strange crossbreed was writing busily, and didn't look like he was having any troubles. Weird, thought Sonic. Torth had just entered today. He shouldn't know any of the material! Granted, he had been reading his textbook at lunch, but even so, that wouldn't let him know the material on this quiz. Sonic turned back, slumped in his chair, and closed his eyes. Well, at least he had time for a nap…

When the teacher called out that the quiz was over, Sonic woke with a start. Picking up he paper, he calming walked to the desk, and handed his paper in. Even with his slow walk, he was still the first by a long shot. Then, as the teacher directed the class to study and make notes while she marked the quizzes, Sonic looked at the faces in the room. Knuckles was kicked back in his chair. Sally was still thinking, probably about how she could have done better. Looking behind him, he saw that Torth looked exactly the same as before, writing out notes while staring into his textbook. Sonic decided he should follow suit. He pulled out his text and a sheet of paper. Thinking for a minute, he began writing. A D that he knew was coming wouldnve, world's" /'t be good, and there was another test coming up, and Sonic had promised his uncle (benefactor and makeshift parent), Uncle Chuck, that he would do better. After what felt like ages, the teacher spoke out again, announcing the top 5 scores in ascending order, while passing out the marked quizzes. 3 people Sonic didn't know were 5th, 4th, and 3rd, respectively. Sally came in second. That was a bit of a shock. Sally always got the top score! It was a fact of life! Then, the teacher announced the top score. "The one who did best on the quiz, and whose answers were the most correct was Torth." Sonic turned and stared. He watched as Torth accepted his sheet back, scanned it quickly, placed it in his shoulder bag beside his chair, and then returned to making notes.

After class let out, Sonic headed straight for Knuckles. "What the heck was that all about?" He asked the red echidna. Knuckles shrugged. "I don't know. Sally always gets the top scores on these tests." Just then, Sally stormed from the classroom. Two splotches of red rode high on her cheeks, and one could almost see the smoke pouring from her ears. He eyes were narrowed down, her teeth were grinding, and she was quietly muttering to herself. Sonic gulped. This was one time when he was glad she wasn't after him. If she decided Torth was going to pay, he would. In spades. Tails strode of to Sonic looking is Sally's direction. "What's got her so steamed up, another 96 on a quiz?" Sonic turned to face the two tailed fox. "No, someone got 1st place on a quiz, and it wasn't her." Tail's eyes grew huge. He glanced at the enraged princess again. "Who was it? Someone who was doing good as well?" Sonic shook his head. "No it was a new guy who just came in today. There he is." Sonic pointed a white gloved finger in the direction of the crossbreed, who was walking down the corridor away from them. Tails peered after the strange figure. "What species is he? I've never seen anyone like him!" Sonic shrugged. "Dunno. I figure he's some sort of cross breed, or something." Tails nodded slowly, still staring where Torth had disappeared around a corner. The fox shook his head to bring himself out of his daze. "So, what do you have next?" Sonic thought for a moment. "Gym" Tails nodded. "I have science. We're doing a physics unit, so I can't wait!" Sonic grinned. The young fox's enthusiasm was catchy. He rubbed Tails on the head. "Well, I gotta go. Gym will start soon, and you know how the coach is when someone's late!" Tails grimaced and nodded at the same time. Sonic laughed, and then sped off.
