It was Sunday, and I finally finished all my homework. I sigh deeply as I lean back in my chair. It took me forever to convince my parents to let me work in peace. I decided to play a game on my computer (since I had nothing else to do. And all the chores were done, meaning that no one was going to bug me for the rest of the day.) So, I booted up a random game I grabbed from my drawer filled with computer games and manuals. Suddenly, I heard a knock at my window. I pause my game, walk over to the window and pull the curtains back. It was that blue hedgehog again. Sitting on a branch on the tree that grew by my window. He noticed me pulling back the curtains and waved. I open my window, allowing the hedgehog to enter my pink room.
"Hey." He said, looking at me. I was still at the open window, which I shut closed along with the curtains. Even thought I was on the second floor of my house, I still didn't wanna risk anyone looking in my room and seeing the hedgehog. "What are you doing here?" I asked in confusion. I inched my way closer to the hedgehog. 'Why did he come back?' I thought to myself. "Can't I visit you?" He asked, crossing his arms. I giggled a bit, feeling my cheeks burn a little from embarrassment. "It's alright, just as long as my parents or my brother don't find you here." "Why?" He asked, tilting his head to the right a bit. "Well," I said, looking down at the floor. "I don't think that they would be very excited to see a giant blue talking hedgehog here in the house." "Point taken." He replies.
The both of us then start chatting more and more, losing track of time. I learned a lot about him as he learned a lot about me. I told him about my name, my family, where I went to school, my friends, and everything that seemed interesting about me. In turn, he told me that his name was Sonic the Hedgehog. He was "the" fastest thing alive, his friends back in his home world (Mobius). His enemy Eggman made me cringe at the thought of meeting him face to face. And all the adventures Sonic went through sounded amazing.
As soon as we both stopped talking, a knock was heard on my door, followed by my brother saying: "Carter? What's going on in there?" I urge Sonic to hide. He does so in my closet as I proceed to open my door. "What do you want now, Nathan?" I ask with an attitude. "I heard you talking with someone in here." He says, entering my room. "Who was it anyways?" I try to come up with a lie, hoping Nathan would buy it. "Uh, I had one of my friends on speaker phone." I say, taking my phone off my bed and waving it around. "I just ended the call, just as you knocked on the door." He looks around my room frantically. "Something doesn't seem right in here. Are you sure you aren't hiding anything?" "Nope! Nothing strange here." I assure my brother. He gives me a glare. "Alright." He says, cautiously leaving my room, closing the door behind him.
I sigh as I sit on the edge of my bed. The sound of feet in the hallway outside my room faded. I waited a few seconds before hurrying to the closet. It was a walk in closet, so there were plenty of spaces to hide in there. "Sonic?" I called into the closet when I didn't see him. Suddenly, something fell off a shelf in the back into a pile of clothes. It was Sonic. He was hiding on a top shelf in the back and fell off. He probably slipped or something. But, when I saw him stand up, I tried to control myself from laughing. On Sonic's right ear was one of my socks that was rainbow-stripped. In fact, he was covered in socks. They were mostly stuck on his quills on the back of his head. The sight of him covered in my socks made me laugh. He looked so cute! Sonic noticed what was so funny and tried to pull off all the socks. I help him take the socks off his quills and throw them in a pile near the closet door. "That was close." He said. He turned around to face me. Our eyes locked again. Something seemed to click, but it was unknown as to what exactly clicked.
But, that moment didn't seem to last for long. For Sonic had ran to my window and leaped onto the tree branch he was on before entering my room. "I think we'll make great friends." He said giving me a thumbs up. I can't help but smile. "See you tomorrow!" He said before running off in a blink of an eye. I stay at the window and watch the sunset. And in the far distance, I see a blue blur speeding away over the horizon. I had a feeling that this was the start of a great (but weird) friendship.
