Hiya people! Here's Chapter 2! :D Have a frabjous day! :D
Chapter 2: First Day of School
Sonic's House
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" screamed Sonic's alarm clock at 7:45. "Ugh…." he groaned, slamming his hand on top to make it stop buzzing. Unwillingly, Sonic got out of bed and quickly jumped in the shower. The water literally ran for 5 seconds until he jumped out, threw on his uniform, and his old red sneakers. The bus was going to pick him up at 8:00; he was never one who needed a lot of time in the morning. (After all, he is the fastest thing alive)
He grabbed his suitcases and headed out the door just as the bus pulled up in front of his house. Sonic threw his luggage in the back of the bus and then hopped on; hoping and praying that Tails saved him a seat. Walking up the steps onto the bus, he peeked in to see that all of the seats were taken except 2 empty spots by Shadow and Amy.
"Sonic! Sit here!" Amy patted the spot next to her. Sonic sighed and sat next to her, and she began to talk.
"I was starting to think that I was going to be alone… Vanilla decided to drive Cream to school and Rouge was too embarrassed to ride the bus, so she flew. I'm so glad you're here!" she squealed.
"I'm glad to be here too Ames." Sonic looked around the bus until his eyes met Shadow, who looked upset and annoyed.
"Shadow looks pretty depressed about something…" Amy pointed out.
"Yeah… he doesn't normally look that way; even for him." Sonic agreed, "Maybe he's just as ticked about this having-to-wear-clothes thing as I am!" he chuckled.
Amy giggled and said, "Hey, the uniform looks good on you!"
Sonic sighed, "Thanks Ames. You look good too."
"Aww… thanks Sonikku."
"Attention students!" the bus driver yelled on the intercom, making everyone cover their ears, "We will be arriving at Emerald Coast High in 5 minutes!"
Amy's smile slowly turned to a worried expression as she said, "Sonic, I'm nervous."
"What for? You have nothing to be worried about. It's all going to be fine." Sonic comforted.
"What if they don't like me?" Amy asked worriedly.
"Why wouldn't they like you? You're an awesome person Ames; they will like you."
"You really think so?"
"I know so," Sonic assured her.
"Thanks Sonic." She said, giving him a soft *not strangling* hug as the bus pulled up towards the huge school.
Emerald Coast High School sat about 50 feet in front of the seashore. Behind each dorm was their own private boardwalk and beach where students could go after school and on the weekends to hang out. About half a mile away from the school was a huge boardwalk with restaurants and an open-year-round carnival.
"Nobody told me this place was by the ocean! Get me outta here!" Sonic cried, trying to squirm out of his seat. Suddenly, the bus doors opened, and everyone filed out of the bus. Grabbing their luggage, they all went to check in inside the front office where they would get their schedule and dorm arrangements.
Principal Eggman's Office
"Dr. Eggman, can't I please just get a dorm with other girls? No offense, but it's embarrassing staying with you… all of the other kids who have parents who teach at the school stay in dorms with other kids."
"Enough, Layla! You're the Ultimate Lifeform! You're not a regular girl! You don't want anyone else to know your secret do you?" Dr. Eggman questioned.
"I don't care!" Layla cried, "The only thing people know me as is Principal Eggman's daughter- and that's not even true! You're not even my dad… I feel like I'm living a lie!"
"The other kids can't know that you're not just a regular hedgehog! They may think that you're a threat! You don't want people to be afraid of you, do you?" Eggman argued.
"They already are-they think that if I see them doing something bad that I will go and tell you to get them in trouble! Don't you see? I just want to be treated normal!" Layla cried.
"Hmmm…. I'll let you stay in a dorm if you promise to continue to keep your secrecy about being the Ultimate Lifeform. I don't want people to feel like they're in danger…"
"I promise! I won't tell anyone! Pinky promise!" Layla smiled, holding her pinky out to Eggman.
"What the heck do I do with that?" Eggman asked, staring blankly at Layla's pinky.
"You hook pinkies with me! Gosh grandpa! Get with it! You're so embarrassing!" Layla giggled, latching pinkies with Eggman. Happily, Layla ran to her room, grabbing everything out of her dresser drawers and throwing it into a suitcase. Just as she ran out the door, she grabbed her guitar case and bolted down the stairs towards her dorm. If only there was somebody else like me… she thought.
Front Office
"Amy!" a familiar voice called from behind her in the line in the front office.
"Hiya Cream! What dorm did you get?" Amy eagerly asked.
"1B, what'd you get?"
"1B!" Amy screamed in happiness. "C'mon, let's go walk over there together; we can meet our roomies."
"Walking with all of this luggage is too slow; let's fly!" Cream suggested.
Amy nodded in agreement as she grabbed Cream's luggage and her own and clung to Creams leg as she lifted off the ground and flew over to the dorm.
Looking at the huge dorm, Amy noticed that dorm 1A was connected to theirs, so whoever happened to get that dorm would be able to visit whenever they wanted. Nervously, Amy opened the door to find Rouge talking to a lavender cat with a wearing a light purple uniform with magenta trim and a white tie, and a yellow mongoose with long purple hair and ear piercings wearing a black uniform with dark purple trim and a bluegreen (literally the color bluegreen, not a typo) tie.
"Rouge! You're here too!" Amy and Cream shouted excitedly
"Amy! Cream! Yup, I'm here too! Looks like we all got to stay together!" she exclaimed. "Oh, Amy, Cream, this is Blaze the Cat and Mina the Mongoose. They're in this dorm too."
"Hi guys! I'm Amy Rose, and this is Cream. Cream's a Freshman and I'm a Sophomore." She introduced, "this year is going to be so much fun!"
"Nice to meet you guys! I'm Blaze and this is Mina; I'm a Sophomore and Mina is a Freshman."
"Layla the Hedgehog is gonna be here too; she's super nice. She may come across as a goth, but once you get to know her she's super sweet. She's a Sophomore too, so I'm sure you'll have a few classes with her, Amy." Mina informed her.
"Where is she?" Cream asked.
"I'm here!" a voice yelled from the front door. A black hedgehog wearing a purple uniform with red trim and a white tie carrying what must have been 5 suitcases and a guitar case, stumbled into the room and fell to the floor. Her hair was dark brown with red streaks, and it was pulled back into a high ponytail that was tied by a purple bow. A big piece of hair hung over her left eye, and she wore long black, fingerless, gloves that had purple cuffs. Her boots were tall black, white, and red with purple cuffs. (they looked like Shadow's shoes but in boot form, but had cuffs like Rouge's boots do at the top, but hers were purple, not pink) Quickly she recovered herself and stood up, "I'm okay!"
"Layla! You're here!" Mina exclaimed, running over and giving her a hug, soon followed by Blaze.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't introduce myself to you all!" Layla apologized, "My name is Layla the Hedgehog."
"My name is Cream the Rabbit, and this is Amy Rose and Rouge the Bat. It's very nice to meet you." Cream told her politely.
"So Layla- You finally get to truly experience high school by staying in a dorm!" Blaze informed her, lightly punching her on the shoulder.
"I know! I'm so excited! I never thought I'd ever get away from Eggman. God, he's so embarrassing! You know- he doesn't even know what a pinky promise is!" Layla complained.
"C'mon Cream, Amy, and Rouge," Blaze motioned, "everybody is meeting in the cafeteria for a meet and greet thing; we can all go and I'll introduce you guys to some people!"
"Sounds good! We'll let you meet some of our friends too if they happen to be there!" Amy agreed.
Meanwhile with Sonic
After Sonic got his luggage, he quickly met up with Tails to see what dorm he got.
"Hey there buddy!" Sonic said to Tails happily.
"Hi Sonic! What dorm didy'a get? I got 1A!" Tails told him, hoping that they would be dormmates.
"Same here! Let's get over there and see if Knuckles and Shadow are there too. Knowing GUN, they probably told the school to put us all in dorms together." Sonic dashed towards the dorm as Tails tagged along flying overhead. When Sonic reached the dorm, he and Tails opened the door to find an empty room.
"Looks like we're the first ones here! Guess we get first pick on rooms!" Sonic informed him happily, letting Tails go ahead in and then stepping into the room when suddenly-
"BYAMAMAMAMAAMA!"
"OH MY FREAKING BUTTER MUFFINS! HOLY FREAKING CRAP! WHO THE FUDGE WAS THAT?" Sonic cried, frantically looking behind him to see Knuckles laughing to the point of crying, rolling around on the floor.
"HAHAHAHAHA! YOU SHOULDA SEEN YOUR FACE BLUE BOY! PRICELESS CRAP LIKE THAT KEEPS A DUDE HAPPY…"
"KNUCKLES! YOU BASTARD!" Sonic screamed at him, still trying to catch his breath.
"HEY SILVER! SHADOW! YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!" Knuckles yelled.
Shadow and a silver hedgehog wearing a black jacket, white shirt and a light blue tie popped up from behind the couch, laughing almost as hard as Knuckles. "Nicely done Faker! You managed to freak yourself out and look like a moron at the same time. That takes skill!" Shadow admitted.
"Sorry 'bout all this… it's a tradition in this dorm that we scare the crap out of the last guy to actually make it into the dorm. Anyway, I'm Silver the Hedgehog, and by the looks of it, we're going to be dormmates!"
"Hiya *gasp* Silver, I'm *gasp* Sonic the *gasp* Hedgehog. *gasp* I don't *gasp* think I like that *gasp* tradition that much…" Sonic replied to Silver, still breathing heavily.
"I'm Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails. Sonic's my best buddy! Isn't that right Sonic?" Tails asked.
"Cooorrect!" Sonic agreed, giving his trademark smirk and thumbs up.
"Awesome! It's nice to meet you guys! Put your stuff down anywhere for right now. We're going to head over to the cafeteria for big welcome gathering thing. I'll let you meet some of my friends and we can hang out. Sound good?"
"Cool! I have a question for you Silver: Does everyone where clothes here?" Sonic asked curiously.
"Sadly… yes." Silver replied calmly.
