Ahhh! I've ignored this for so long. Hoping this chapter will be longer.
Hey, YOU! The one that reviewed! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Maybe if you ever come back to this story, tell me who you are? Maybe? You will receive my eternal praise. -w-
I do not own Sonic!
Amy nearly skipped in front of me towards what I assumed was the lunch room. I was already analyzing her. She seems to have a lot of energy, but she seems nice.
"So," She said cheerfully, her steps bouncing. "Did you just move here?"
"Uh..." I didn't know what to say. Truth? Lie? Why did it matter? "No. Just new to the school is all."
"Oh!" A smiled seemed to shine on her face no matter what. "Do you know anyone here? If you don't, I'm sure my friends will love to have you join us!"
"Err... No. No, I don't. Thank you." I paused and looked at her sincerely. "Really." I meant it. I didn't want to come here with my intentions and then not accept anyone into my life.
She looked slightly surprised as we got to the large room known as the cafeteria. "It's nothing!" Her smile was right back. "Like I said, I'm sure that they'll love to have you."
We got our lunches and continued to walk towards the tables. Amy stopped and I looked up from the odd food on my lunch tray. Two very pretty girls, a chipmunk with large red hair and a brown raccoon, stood in our path. Amy's face was contorted into a grimace that I thought I'd never see on the cheery pink hedgehog's face.
"Hello, new girl!" The chipmunk addressed me in a syrupy-sweet tone, ignoring the stink eye Amy was clearly glaring at her with. "My, you are pretty!"
I glanced over at Amy and back. "Err... T-thanks." My eyes drifted to my shoes. What did she do to Amy?
"We can take her off your hands, Amy." She put her hand on my shoulder.
"NO." Amy forcefully locked elbows with me. "No you will not, Sally. Xena has kindly agreed to sit with me."
What is going on? Who is this Sally? I was getting no explanation any time soon, it looked like. Sally gave Amy harsh look. "Fine." She snapped. "Well, If you ever get tired of Pinky and her loser squad, there's always an open space for someone so pretty." the chipmunk emphasized the last word she said rather scarily, and sassily walked off.
I looked back to Amy as she stamped towards what I assumed to be the table she sat at, nearly dragging me along. "What did she ever do to you?" I inquired her.
"What did she DO?" She looked at me, her expression slightly softened from before. " What HASN'T she done? She's a nasty little pompous bitch that starts rumors, plays nasty pranks, and ruins anyone's life that happens to dislike her the tiniest bit. Along with her little cronies that do anything she so desires. She disgusts me." We got to a table and my companion stopped and sat next to a tan rabbit, gesturing for me to sit across from her, next to a yellow fox.
I did so and Amy ran her gloved hand through her pink bangs.
"We saw the whole thing. What did she say this time?" the rabbit said with concern in her voice. "Oh! Where are my manners? Hello, Ms..." She trailed off, leaving a pause for me to speak.
"Xena. I-I'm Xena." I said back, almost missing the cue.
"Xena! My, what a pretty name." I heard an authentic sweetness in her voice that Sally was definitely lacking. "My name is Cream.
I smiled nervously to her. "I'm Miles Prower! Or Tails. Whatever you prefer." A hand was shoved in front of me, causing me to nearly jump off my seat.
"Oh. H-hello." I put my hand out to shake his, hoping I hadn't offended him by my reaction. Just then, four more people came to accompany us at our table. A green seedrian elegantly sat next to Tails, a cat with a sleek lavender coat and a light grey hedgehog sat next to each other on the other side of Cream, and a bright blue hedgehog plopped himself down next to Amy; all with the mysterious food on their trays.
"Well, who's this?" a smooth voice drifted to my ears.
"Xena, this is Blaze." Amy gestured from me to the lavender cat, her grin came back as if you had flipped a switch to turn it the lights on. "And this is Xena."
"You're new here, too?" The grey hedgehog leaned over to me, almost laying on top of everyone's food. Then again, I doubt they would've minded. "Cosmo here was last year." He jerked his thumb towards the seedrian with short green hair.
"That would be me." Her quiet voice barely reached my ears. "Its very nice to meet you."
"Of course." I smiled. For the first time in a while starting to feel happy, joyful. I felt hope.
"Lean back, Silver. Any further forward and you'll practically be on top of her." I kept from giggling. He fell back to his seat, grumbling. The voice, I found out, came from the blue one, who had been quiet this whole time. I looked over to him and he spoke again. "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. You could say I'm the fastest thing alive."
"Cocky bastard." a red echidna said, following a white bat that sat next to Cosmo, placing himself next to said bat. He smirked towards Sonic, signifying he was joking. It didn't keep the cobalt boy from rolling his eyes.
"And you're so oblivious that you didn't even notice that someone new is sitting right there." Sonic gestured at me.
He looked over to me- at first, skeptically, but got over it I assume- and smiled and waved. "The name's Knuckles." Well the name fit him; two spikes decorated the backs of this hands. "This is Rouge." He pointed to the bat.
"Hey, hon. What's that name?" She said across the table.
"It's Xena." I smiled to her, my hope growing with every word said around me. I felt the presence of someone sitting on my left that wasn't there before. I looked to see a dark hedgehog with red-streaked upturned quills. My confidence was bursting by now, so I held out my hand and said "Hello, I'm Xena" and smiled.
The response was a very serious look straight into my eyes and no words. I gulped and put my hand down, instantly regretting what I did. Blushing and looking away, I heard his response.
"Shadow." It was a deep tone.
"Huh?" I looked back up at him.
"My name's Shadow."
"Oh." I said back, blankly. Shadow. Why is that so familiar?
WOOO! Much longer chapter and I am proud of it. It was a little uneventful, but trust me, it will get better. Hopefully. D: Don't worry about the break between updates being so long like it was last time. Sorry about that!
Tell me what you think, but please be respectful and at the same time truthful. Thank you! See you soon!
