Chapter 1: Just a Normal Day...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Amy rises from her bed, alarm ringing in her ears. She looks to the side of her bed, eyeing the loud clock. She hits the off button, and groans. Her weekend relaxation was over.
She honestly hates waking up this early—7 am is such an unholy hour to her— but if she didn't get up in time, she would be late for her college classes. Why someone decided to schedule classes in the morning, she'll never know.
She unwraps herself from the blankets and stands at the edge of her bed. She stretches, loosening her muscles before heading off into her bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she sees that her rosy quills are in disarray and sticking in every direction. She sighs. What a mess. She takes her brush and smooths them all out before grabbing a scrunchie. She pulls her quills back, leaving her bangs out of it, and lassos them with the scrunchie into a high ponytail. And for the final touch, she places her red headband atop her head. She looks into the mirror and smiles. Perfect~! She turns from the mirror and walks out.
She walks over to her wardrobe to pick out her outfit of the day. Feeling a little chilly, she decides to change into a thick burgundy turtleneck, and slips on a pair of gray bootcut sweatpants. And for the final touch, she puts on knitted red earmuffs. Finally feeling ready, she grabs her bookbag, and an apple, and heads out to school.
"It may be chilly, but it sure is beautiful outside," Amy remarks. She has to admit, October might be her favorite month. There is something about the crisp, colorful leaves and the scent of pumpkin spice that makes everything feel so cozy and relaxing. And at least, unlike in later months, it isn't freezing cold, just a little nippy. Sometimes it could actually be pretty warm too.
Walking down the steps of her house, she turns to the left and starts her trek to school. Thankfully, she only lives about fifteen to twenty minutes away. It was great that she was able to find a house so close, and so cheap too!
Amy takes her apple and bites into it, the crunchy, sweet flavor filling the inside of her mouth, and complementing the autumn weather outside. "Yep, just the way I like it." She smiles.
Just as she is about to take another bite, a bump to the right shoulder causes her to drop said apple onto the concrete ground. She whips around to see the culprit—a black hedgehog—walking away.
"Hey! Thanks for making me drop my breakfast!" She yells, her voice oozing sarcasm. The hedgehog stops and slightly looks back towards her. Amy's eyes widen and she goes stiff. The hedgehog stares at her for a second, scoffs, and continues walking. Normally, Amy would be furious right now and would maybe even pick a fight, but she was too focused on what she briefly saw. The hedgehog's eyes were a vibrant crimson ruby; it felt like they radiated the heat of the sun and it warmed Amy down to her core. And despite that, she shudders. She has never seen eyes like that before in her life. They were so...beautiful.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she realizes that she has been standing there for quite some time. She take out her phone and looks at the time. 7:18. Shoot! I'm gonna be late! Amy dumps her phone back into her book-bag, and rushes down the street.
XxX
"Miss Amy?"
No response.
"Miss Amy?!"
She jumps at the shout. "Um yes Ms. Tikal?" She sheepishly looks at her professor.
"Did, you hear what I just said?" She stares up at the back of the class where Amy is seated, all the other students looking in her direction. And suddenly, Amy feels a whole lot smaller.
"No." She squeaks.
"Okay, well I'll repeat it for you later but please pay attention in class alright?" She says softly, not trying to be rude to one of her students.
"Yes, I'm sorry." She sinks lower into her seat, wishing she could blend into the background.
This is getting ridiculous Amy thinks to herself. This is the fifth time she has blanked out, and in her second class. She couldn't get that stupid hedgehog out of her head. Those scarlet orbs have burned a mark in her brain, and she hasn't been able to stop thinking about them; they were truly one of a kind. She wishes she could see them at least one more time...
Amy shakes her head. He shouldn't matter. She has no idea even who he is much less if she'll ever see him again. He could be dangerous for all she knew! She'd be better off if she stopped thinking about him and focused on her school work; that is why she's here after all. She looks ahead to the board and writes down the notes, getting back into the topic of discussion.
But every time she closed her eyes, a pair of ruby ones stare right back at her.
And there it is! I know this chapter seems kinda short but it's setting the stage for the rest of the story~! So what will happen next? Stick around for the next chapter~! And thank you for reading! X3
