Author's Note: This is my first fic for this site; however, this is not my first ever fanfic. This first chapter is told in 3rd person, but the rest of this story will be in 1st person.
Class of 2K15
Chapter One: Senior Year, Day One
"Silver, wake up. Pop'll be pissed if you're late on the first day of school," a dark grey hedgehog said, turning the light on in Silver's room.
Silver groaned, but got out of his bed and faced his brother. "Why are you up so early Tariq (Tah-rick)?"
"I don't want my little brother being late for his first day of his last year in high school," Tariq said with a smirk. "Now come on, get dressed."
"You know what I think?" The younger hedgehog said as he walked to his closet.
"No, I don't; but I'm pretty sure you'll tell me."
"I think, you're just rubbing in the fact that you graduated last year and you don't have to wake up early anymore."
"Not true. I have a class at nine," Tariq retorted as Silver put on a collared Hollister shirt and some khaki shorts, rim of his shorts stopping a couple of inches below his waist. "You know Pop ain't gonna appreciate you sagging."
"Pop sags, so that would make him a hypocrite. And I'm not even sagging," Silver said, lifting his shirt up to look at the position of his shorts.
"I can see your boxers."
"Quit looking for them," the younger hedgehog said as he walked by his brother and into the bathroom to brush his teeth.
"I wasn't looking for them, your pants are just too low and it makes them visible."
"I don't have on pants, I have on shorts," Silver said with a mouth full of toothpaste.
"Whatever. You know what I meant."
Silver chuckled as he finshed brushing his teeth and washing hs face. "Can you hand me my Nike socks and my Sperry's?"
"Yeah, I got you. Which Nike socks, elite or regular?" Tariq asked, looking in his brother's sock drawer.
"Elite." The younger hedgehog said as he unbuttoned the collar to his shirt to groom his chest fur.
"Black with white markings or white with black markings?"
"The second one."
Tariq pulled out a pair of white and black socks and picked up his brother's Sperry's and placed them in the doorway of the bathroom.
"Thanks. Hey, how do I look?" Silver said, stepping away from the mirror and facing his brother.
Tariq scoffed, "Like something you make at a Build-A-Bear workshop."
"I'm serious Tariq. Do I look decent?"
"Yeah, you look alright. Why?"
"Because I don't wanna look bad on the first day of my Senior Year."
"You sure it's not for a certain feline friend? That's catching a ride with you?"
Silver pushed past his brother and back into his room, attempting to hide the pink that tinted his cheeks. "No, it's not for her. And Tails is riding with us."
"Who are you picking up first?"
"Blaze," Silver mumbled as he put his socks and shoes.
Tariq snickered before patting his brother on the shoulder. "Silver, I've been known that you like her. Ever since you met her in middle school, you've had a crush on her."
"How could you possibly know that? I never said anything about it." Silver asked, confused.
"I'm your brother, I know these things. Now get a move on, you don't wanna be late picking them up."
Silver nodded, grabbed his bookbag, wallet, phone, and keys, and then made his way downstairs. "Alright bro," he said as he opened the door.
"Peace Silv. Hey, you got everything?"
Silver smirked and began to sing, "I got everything, I got everything."
Tariq rolled his eyes. "Go to school fool."
The younger hedgehog chuckled before walking out of the door and getting into his camaro.
After a short drive, he pulled up in front of Blaze's home and honked the horn. Moments passed before Silver honked the horn again, still waiting on the feline to emerge from her house. Just as he was about to honk a third time, the front door of the house opened and Blaze stepped out with her bookbag and purse. She had on a white Ralph Lauren v-neck with black skin-tight jeans and black toms; her hair was down around her shoulders instead of in its usual ponytail.
"Why are you so impatient?" She asked the hedgehog as she got in the car.
"I'm not impatient, you just take forever," Silver said, putting the car in gear and pulling off.
"You can't rush perfection," Blaze retorted, putting her seatbelt on.
"I'm not rushing perfection, I'm rushing you."
"Funny. Hilarious. I don't know why you're not a comedian," The feline said dryly as they pulled up in front of Tails' house.
"I know. I am pretty funny," He said as Tails got out of his seat on the porch and walked to the car.
The fox had on a grey under armor sweatshirt and some under armor sweatpants. On his feet were under armor socks and slides. "Sup," he said, getting into the backseat.
"Why are you wearing a sweat suit on the first day of school?" Blaze asked as Silver put the car in gear and pulled off.
"I didn't feel like washing clothes yesterday and this was all that was clean," Tails said with an uncaring shrug.
"You know wearing that isn't gonna score you any points with Cream, right?" Silver asked, merging onto the highway.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. But I'm gonna make up for points lost tomorrow."
"How?" Blaze asked.
"The football game tomorrow. Her, Sonic, and Amy are going and she asked if I could tag along so that Sonic wouldn't be the only guy," The fox said as Silver took an exit that guided him off of the highway.
"Oh that's right, it is a football game tomorrow. Who do we play?" Silver asked as he arrived at the school and pulled into the parking lot.
"Green Hill Academy," Tails said, getting out of the car and leaning against his side.
"Those punk ass, smart, pretty boys?" The hedgehog asked mockingly as he and Blaze got out of the car.
"We're smart too," Tails said as a Audi pulled up beside him.
"Yeah but we're smart and tough. Those guys are a bunch of smart bitches in padding and football jerseys," the feline said as a blue hedgehog got out of the driver's side, a pink hedgehog got out of the passenger's side, and a rabbit and an red echidna got out of the back.
The blue hedgehog had on an white Abercrombie v-neck shirt with black straight-leg jeans and a pair of black vans. He also wore a black snapback on his head. The pink hedgehog had on a red Aeropostale v-neck wih blue skinny jeans and a pair of black Jordan's. The rabbit wore a collared Ralph Lauren polo shirt with black skinny jeans and black Sperry's and the echidna wore a white Nike shirt with black shorts and black Nike socks with white markings. On his feet were a pair of Nike slides.
"Who's a bitch in padding and football jerseys?" Sonic asked as he sat on the hood of his car.
"Green Hill Academy's football team," Silver said.
"Oh yeah, they're a bunch of bitch-made motherfuckers," Knuckles said, walking over to the side of the car that Amy and Cream were on.
"Finesse, no flex," Amy said with a chuckle.
"Regardless of how weak the other team is, I still wanna see the game. It's the first home game of the year," Cream said as Sonic nodded.
"You guys should come. We can meet at my house and go eat before kickoff," he said as a black hedgehog pulled a motorcycle into the parking space in front of him.
The hedgehog shut off his bike and put the kickstand down and took off his red full-face helmet. He got off of the motorcycle and lightly leaned against, careful not to tip it over. He was wearing a grey Hollister v-neck with black skinny jeans and black Chuck Taylor's.
"Alright Shadow The Boss, riding the motorcycle to school. I see you," Knuckles said with a smirk.
Shadow chuckled. "Judging by this group, I'd say that you guys are having a conversation. What's up?"
"We we're coming up with a game plan for tomorrow," Tails said.
"What's tomorrow?"
"The first home game of the season. We were talking about meeting up at my place and then going to eat before kickoff. You in?" Sonic asked.
"I have room for five people in my car in case you don't feel like taking your bike," Silver chimed in.
"I wish I could come but I have to babysit my little cousin. What time does the game start?"
"Pregame starts at 7:15 but the game doesn't start until 7:30," Cream said as Shadow nodded.
"Alright. I'll probably be at the game but I can't chill with you guys before the game."
"That's fine...hold on, where's Bat-Girl?" Knuckles asked.
"She had to take her little brother to daycare, so she couldn't ride with me," the darker hedgehog said.
The warning bell rang, signaling to the group of friends that it was time for them to disperse and head to homeroom, where they would receive their first semester.
Sonic sighed and got up. "Homeroom, here I come."
"Shall the three hedgehogs travel to homeroom in each other's company?" Silver asked Sonic and Shadow, giving a British accent impersonation.
"We shall," Shadow said as Sonic nodded.
The three hedgehogs made their way into the building, leaving their friends behind in the parking lot.
"Well damn. Since we're grouping up by last name, c'mon Blaze. Let's go to homeroom," Knuckles said, linking arms with the feline and walking into the building.
"Ms. Rabbit?" Amy asked in a professional voice.
"Yes Ms. Rose?" Cream responded sounding professional as well.
"Do you believe that we should follow the others suit and go to homeroom?"
Amy nodded. "I believe we should."
The two made their way into the building, leaving Tails in the parking lot. The fox shrugged and said, "Alright Miles. Let's get this year started," before heading towards the building.

"What's up fellas?" A black falcon said, pulling up a chair and sitting with the three hedgehogs. He wore a white collared Aeropostale shirt with blue skinny jeans and a pair of white Air Force One's.
"Hey, what's up Thomas," Sonic said, giving his friend a fist pound.
"You guys should come to the game tomorrow night," Thomas said. "I'm starting."
"Forreal? You're the starting slot receiver?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah. Since Steven graduated last year, Delancey moved to the post and I get the slot."
"That's good."
"Yeah, I know; but you guys should come to the game. It'll be fun to watch us stomp on Green Hill Academy."
"We are coming," Silver said, joining the conversation.
"Everybody? The ladies too?"
"I don't know about everyone. Rouge might go, she might not go," Shadow said with a shrug.
"It'd be nice to have her come," Thomas said as Shadow shot him a confused look.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because she makes up for your lack of school spirit Shads," Sonic interjected, making the darker hedgehog scowl.
Thomas laughed. "Well, I was gonna say that her energy in the stands pumps up the football team; but that explanation works too."
"Don't talk trash about my school spirit, or my lack of thereof," Shadow said, crossing his arms.
"Fine, fine. We'll stop. Besides, the teacher's about to start handing out schedules," Silver said as a male fox made his way to the front of the room with a small stack of papers.
"Gant, Thomas?" He called out as Thomas raised his hand.
"I'm right here."
"Come get your schedule," he said, motioning the falcon towards the front.
"Oh, alright," Thomas said, getting up and making his way to the front to receive his schedule.
Once the falcon was in his seat again, the teacher resumed calling names and handing out schedules.
"Hey, what classes do you have?" Sonic asked, reaching for Thomas' schedule.
"Damn, can I look at my schedule first?" The falcon growled, snatching the paper away.
The speedster put his hands up innocently. "Mybad, I thought you already looked at it."
A moment passed before Thomas handed Sonic his schedule and the other two hedgehogs scooted closer so that they could see.
"Let's see...," Sonic said, pointing towards the first class on the paper. "Honors English IV, Weight Training, Honors Calculus AB, and Honors French III."
"One of these things doesn't belong," Shadow taunted as Thomas snatched his schedule back.
"Shut up. I needed an elective class to take this semester and weight training was all they had. Technically it's honors advanced P.E."
"Are you getting honors weight added to your GPA?" Silver asked.
Thomas shook his head.
"Well then it isn't honors anything..." Sonic began but stopped at the mention of a certain name.
"Hedgehog, Scourge?"
A deep scowl settled across the group's faces as a green hedgehog made his way to the front. He wore sunglasses, despite being in the building. On his torso was a white OBEY v-neck and his legs sported a pair of blue straight leg jeans. He wore his pants well below his waist, showing his black Ralph Lauren Polo boxers; and he sported a pair of Ralph Lauren Polo boots on his feet.
"I thought he was transferring schools?" Thomas asked in a whisper.
"I did to. I can't stand his ass," Shadow said through gritted teeth.
"Bitch-made fuck boy," Sonic growled under his breath.
Silver remained quiet, but the scowl etched it's way deeper into his face. He didn't like Scourge, like the other two hedgehogs, but his dislike went deeper. Shadow and Sonic despised Scourge, but Silver just flat out hated him. Not only because Scourge was arrogant, conceded and rude, but also because of his passes and innuedos made towards Blaze.
"Hedgehog, Shadow?"
Shadow got up and went to the front, glaring at Scourge, who smirked at him. "Hiya Sunshine. Good to see you," he said as the darker hedgehog flipped him off.
Silver received his schedule next, ignoring Scourge's comment about his head, and compared it to Shadow's and Thomas'.
"How are you two gonna talk about my classes but have the same set-up as me?" Thomas asked the two.
"Well see, the way my schedule is set up, I needed an elective class and Weight Training was the easiest," Shadow said as Silver and Thomas laughed.
"I don't have an excuse like that. I just wanted to take Weight Training," Silver said as Sonic returned with his schedule.
"Bulking up for Blaze?" Thomas teased, making him blush.
"No. I'm just sick of being skinny."
"Yeah, sure. Whatever. Sonic, what classes do you have?" Shadow asked, turning to face the speedster.
"AP Biology, Honors Vocal Ensemble, French II, and Honors Calculus AB," Sonic said.
"You have Calc with me and Silver," Thomas said with a grin.
"Sweet. If only Shadow had it with us."
"I'm in Calc BC," Shadow said with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah. Just rub in how much smarter you are than us," Silver said.
"Whatever, my GPA isn't even that much higher than yours."
"Oh yeah? What is it?" Sonic asked.
"Last time I saw my transcript it was a 3.9."
"Unweighted?"
"Yeah."
"What's your weighted?" Thomas chimed in.
"4.7."
"Your GPA is way higher than mine. I have a 4.3," Silver said, crossing his arms and looking at the darker hedgehog.
"Whatever, it's not even a half of a point higher."
"Can you two nerds stop bickering over GPAs? Especially since we have mister 4.0 weighted GPA right here," Thomas said, pointing to himself.
"And mister 4.1 weighted right here," Sonic chimed in, raising his hand.
"Still higher than most of the school," Shadow said with a shrug.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"Delancey and Espio, what's up fellas?" Knuckles said as a grey wolf sat down along with a purple chameleon. The wolf wore a black OBEY t-shirt with khaki straight leg pants and black Air Force Ones; and the chameleon wore a white Abercrombie shirt and black skinny jeans with red and white Jordans.
"Nothing much," Espio said as Delancey waved. "You two coming to the game tomorrow?"
"Of course we are. It's the first home game of the season," Blaze said.
"Yeah, and I'm the starting running back," the chameleon said with a smirk.
"Finally," Delancey said in his normal soft voice.
"Shut up. You're just now starting as the post receiver," Espio said, pointing at the wolf.
"True, but I've been the starting slot receiver since freshman year. You warmed the bench."
Espio flipped him off before turning back to Knuckles and Blaze. "Anyway, who all is coming?"
"You're coming aren't you?" Delancey asked the feline, a hopeful smile on his face.
"Of course I'm coming to the game," Blaze said, returning the smile.
"Cool. I'm gonna catch a touchdown for you," the wolf said.
"Just for me? That's cute."
"Back to my question," Espio said, ending Delancey's flirting with Blaze.
"Me, Blaze, Silver, Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cream, possibly Shadow, and I'm not sure about Rouge," Knuckles said.
Just as Knuckles finished his sentence did a teacher make her way to the front of the room. "Alright seniors, I need it relatively quiet so that I can pass out your schedules. You don't have to stop talking, but I need you to tone it down. Cool? Cool. Now, when I call your name, just raise your hand. Blaze The Cat?"
Blaze raised her hand and received her schedule, but before she could look at it, it was taken out of her hand by Espio. "What classes do you have?"
Delancey snatched the schedule out of his hands and gave it back to Blaze. "Let her look at it and then she'll let you see."
"Espio The Chameleon?" The teacher said.
Espio raised his hand and received his schedule, looking at it quickly before setting it down on table for the group to see.
"We have Calc together," Blaze said, pointing at the schedule.
"And French III," the wolf said, looking over the feline's shoulder and pointing at her paper.
"Aldis Delancey?" The teacher asked as Delancey raised his hand. As he was handed his schedule, Knuckles and Espio crowded around him, trying to see what classes he had.
"Where are your AP classes at man?" Espio asked.
"Yeah man c'mon. Discrete Math?" Knuckles said, pointing at the paper.
"That says Honors Discrete Math," the wolf said, using his finger to draw an imaginary line under the course name.
"Still not AP," the chameleon said.
"Maybe he didn't want to take AP," Blaze said.
"Thank you Blaze. I didn't want to take AP this year," Delancey said.
"Why?" The echidna asked.
"I didn't feel like all that stress and work and the risk of tanking my GPA. AP classes are hard."
"But it'll give you college credit," Espio said.
"Only if I pass the AP exam, and I haven't passed a single one of those since I've been able to take AP classes."
"Knuckles The Echidna?" The teacher asked as Knuckles raised his hand.
She handed him his schedule and he set it on the table next to Espio's.
"AP Bio? That's a lot of work man, I had that class last year. It's no joke," Espio said.
"I can handle it. It's only biology, and Honors bio was easy when I took it freshman year."
"AP Bio is a different ballgame. It's hard."
"I'll be fine. It's just a class," the echidna said with a shrug.
"Keep thinking that. When your ass ends up with an 'F' you better not say shit," the chameleon said, causing the others to laugh.
"Knuckles, you got calc with Blaze and Espio," Delancey said, pointing to the echidna's schedule.
"For real? Sweet. Now I have people to cheat off of."
Blaze laughed. "Yeah right. If you cheat off of me, then we'll both fail."
"Who's gonna catch us?"
"It's not us getting caught, it's the fact that I won't know the answers."
"Oh come on. You're smart," Delancey said.
"I know, but Shadow said that calculus makes even the smart people feel stupid."
"Well then, I'm glad I decided against taking calculus."
"I don't see why. You took pre-calc last year in preparation for calculus," Knuckles said, shaking his head.
"I don't want to risk tanking my GPA for college credit."
"I kinda see his point," Espio said as a bell rang, indicating that it was time to go to first period.
"Blaze what's your first period?" Delancey asked.
"Vocal Ensemble."
"Cool, I've got Drama. I'll walk down there with you," the wolf said, standing up and waiting on the feline.
"Oh, cool. Thanks Delancey."
The two exited the room and made their way to class while Knuckles went and met up with Sonic, Shadow, and Silver. "Yo Silv, I've got something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"You need to hurry up and cuff Blaze."
Silver raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"
"Because Delancey is trying to get at her."
