Sonic's P.O.V.

High school. Man, how I love it here. Getting to talk to my friends, being top of my sports team, dating one of the cutest girls here... life couldn't be better.

My name is Sonic The Hedgehog. I have blue fur and green eyes, and today I am wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and white and black sneakers. On this particular day in high school, it was nice and sunny.

I had 10 minutes before class, well me and some friends; a fox with yellow fur and blue eyes named Tails, who today wore a yellow long-sleeved shirt, black jeans and yellow and black sneakers, an echidna with red fur and amethyst eyes named Knuckles, who today wore a green/camo tank top, blue jeans and grey sneakers, and another hedgehog with black fur with black and red quills named Shadow, who today wore a dark red button t-shirt, blue jeans and black boots. We were just chilling outside our school, waiting for the bell to ring.

To be honest, I couldn't wait. The moment we step through those doors, our final year of school starts. Classes are gonna get harder, people are gonna change, but hey, it'll be worth it... I hope.

"So guys, this is our last year here at Mobius High. What do you say we make it a doozy?" I ask my friends, sitting up from the bench I was on.

Knuckles stood up and said "You're right there dude! Come on, all stuff we've been through, growing up together, it'd be wrong not to end this year the right way!"

"Yeah," Tails said this time as he sat at the top of the bench, "Knucks is right. I mean, after this, who knows where everything will go?"

Shadow spoke up this time from the wall he leaned against from behind the bench, saying "You all have good points, but the end isn't here yet. We got this last year, not this last day, so don't worry about it now."

I was a bit shocked, and was pretty sure I had my mouth hanging down when he said that. Hey, don't look at me that way, it's Shadow, he doesn't normally say stuff like that!

"Shadow, I think that might be the most you've said since... well, ever," said Tails, and Knuckles and I couldn't help but giggle a bit.

Shadow just flipped Tails off, and Tails replied with "And he's back."

"So, what class have we got first?" asked Knuckles.

"History I think," I replied, then continued "did you remember your books this time?"

Knuckles looked through his bag and eventually found them, then said triumphantly "Ha! Yes I do! Joke's on you hedgehog!"

Then Shadow asked "Did you do the project we were told to do?"

"What project?" asked Knuckles.

"The one where you had to go to a different country and take pictures of it," Shadow replied.

Knuckles rummaged through his bag again, "Um... shit, I know they're here somewhere... got 'em!"

He then handed the picture over to us "Here you go boys; pictures of the historical landmarks of France."

We all laughed uncontrollably, then Tails spoke up finally "Knuckles, you didn't really have to do one! It was just a joke we made up while we were in France at the time. I... oh God, I can't stop laughing!"

We all kept going, and eventually Knuckles joined in with us. It was good that he could take a joke this well these days; usually he'd just punch you in the face. Eventually I stopped laughing when I saw a girl catch my eye. A girl by the name of Amy Rose.

She was a hedgehog with pink fur, and wore a red and white striped shirt, blue jean shorts, red shoes and a red headband. Looking at her, I was completely awestruck. Don't get me wrong, I knew she'd been at school for a while now; I just never saw her look this good before. I dunno what it was, there was something about the way she carried herself that made her appear... different.

Eventually I was snapped back to reality when my real girlfriend came over and told us to stop goofing around. She was a brown squirrel with blue eyes and brown fur, along with dark brown hair on her head, and wore a pair of brown boots, blue jeans, and a blue t-shirt.

Her name is Sally Acorn. I managed to stop laughing long enough to stand up and go over to her.

"Hey babe!" she chimed, "I missed you."

"I missed you too," I replied. We couldn't see each other the whole two months holiday we had away from school, and the fact that me, Knuckles, Shadow and Tails went to France on our own didn't help either. I kissed her lips and wrapped my arms around her waist, and she soon followed suit.

"Hate to break up this lovely reunion," Knuckles said, "but we don't have long left."

He was right. The school clock was about to go off for 9:00 PM, and soon our first class would start. I eventually detached from Sally, but not before she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

Me and Sally held hands as we walked toward the school doors. But before we moved any further, I stopped everyone else.

"Guys, this is our last year here, so what do you say we do it with a song in our heart?"

"Good idea," Tails spoke up, "I got the perfect tune too!"

He pulled a yellow iPod from his back pocket and played "Shut Up" by Simple Plan. The intro was as sweet and punchy as ever, and as we started walking up to the school the intro finished and I started singing the lyrics.

Verse 1

There you go

You're always so right

It's all a big show

It's all about you

You think you know

What everyone needs

You always take time

To criticize me

It seems like everyday

I make mistakes

I just can't get it right

It's like I'm the one

You love to hate

But not today

Then the chorus kicked in and we burst through the large, wooden double doors, still singing.

Chorus

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

We kept singing, walking to our lockers in the hallway. They were a red colour, as were the walls of the hallway, and the lockers stood next to each other. There were other lockers scattered around too. In their order it was mine, Knuckles, Shadow then Tails. We got our bags and books and whatever else we needed and kept singing.

Verse 2

There you go

You never ask why

It's all a big lie

Whatever you do

You think you're special

But I know, and I know

And I know, and we know

That you're not

You're always there to point

Out my mistakes

And shove them in my face

It's like I'm the one

You love to hate

But not today

We kept walking down the corridors before we got to a split hallway. We saw three girls coming along; a cream and orange rabbit named Cream who had brown eyes and today wore a yellow sundress with red buttons, along with a yellow headband and orange shoes, an orange echidna named Shade, who had purple eyes and today wore a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and brown sandals, and a white bat named Rouge, who had blue eyes and today wore a black tank top with a love heart on it, black skinny jeans, and white and pink shoes.

We hit the second chorus, and Shadow, Tails and Knuckles joined in a bit more, singing the background "shut ups".

Chorus

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

(So shut up, shut up, shut up)

Is gonna bring me down

(Shut up, shut up, shut up)

You'll never bring me down

Soon the bridge came in, and I saw Amy again. Despite the fact I was holding Sally's hand, I sang mostly to Amy. Tails sang a bit of back-up too.

Bridge

Don't tell me who I should be

(Don't tell me who I should be)

And don't try to tell me what's right for me

Don't tell me what I should do

I don't want to waste my time

I'll watch you fade away

As the ending of the bridge intensified, I turned away, not noticing Amy looked as soon as I stopped looking. The chorus came around again, and I noticed Sally glaring at me. With a smirk, I sang the last chorus of the song.

Last chorus

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get up, get up, get up

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say

Is gonna bring me down

Bring me down

(Shut up, shut up, shut up)

You won't bring me down

Bring me down

(Shut up, shut up, shut up)

You won't bring me

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

The song ended and the bell rang. I looked at my watch.

"Guys, we gotta head to class soon. See you soon Sally!" and I kissed Sally on the cheek before I headed off to my first class.

Yep. This is gonna be our best year yet.


I hope you liked the song. I really wanted something that set a good tone, and it's also pretty good because I found out about Simple Plan during my high school years. There will be more chapters, songs, laughs, tears, and... more everything! Stick around for the ride guys!
