Chapter 1: New School, New Friends
18 Years Later…
"Amy, get up! You're going to be late for your first day!" Amy's mother shouted up the stairs.
Johann's hot pink hair was tied back in a neat pony tail, and she was wearing a purple sweater, light blue jeans with blue pumps.
Amy groaned, "Ok, ok, I'm getting up."
Amy stretched her arms above her head as she looked around her room. There was a light brown deck with two sheaves and a white and pink laptop on it; next to it there was a book shelf and a bed side table to Amy's left and a pink fluffy rug to Amy's right. Above the rug was a window, draped with closed purple curtains. Next to the window was a cream coloured dresser, with a small lamp on the top. Amy's bed was in the centre of the back of the room, and was right up against the wall, which was decorated with white and purple wall paper in a flower pattern that complemented the floor, which was all one white carpet. There was a door next to Amy's desk, which led to her bathroom. Amy threw her white and pink duvet cover off of her and she hurried down stairs in her light pink, strappy top and long white pyjama bottoms. Johann beamed at her as she entered the kitchen.
"Look who finally got up," she smiled, "Did you sleep well?"
Amy smiled back at her mum, "Yeah, fine."
The phone rang and Amy walked over to answer it. The kitchen was very small; it had five wooden shelves and a fridge in the corner. There was an oven with a stove on the top, and above it was a vent to let the smoke out. On the other side of the room were two stools at the kitchen counter and a table that seated four behind it.
"Hello?" Amy asked into the phone, "Oh hi Julie."
"Hello Amy dear, is your mum there?"
"Yeah, I'll hand you over to her…" Amy answered, passing the phone to her mother, who smiled at her and mouthed the words 'thanks'.
Amy nodded before pointing to the stairs, to indicate that she was going to go and get changed. She left her mother to talk to Julie while she went back to her bedroom. Amy looked around her room, before going to her dresser to get some clothes; she grabbed a really skimpy short white sleeved t-shirt, and a black waist coat, as well as a pair of black skinny jeans and rushed into the bathroom. Amy washed her face and cleaned her teeth, before she got dressed. She then brushed her pink quills, but left them as normal except she put on a black hair band with a rose in the left corner.
Amy's quills where cut into a short bob that suited her quite well; she had bangs that slightly covered her green eyes, which drew attention to them. Amy put on her waist coat, and walked outside her bathroom, switching off the lights as she closed the door. She grabbed her school bag which was a black backpack with white and pink swirly patterns on it, which she then swung over her shoulder and hurried down the stairs.
"You look beautiful, honey," her mother greeted her at the bottom, kissing Amy on the forehead, "I'm sure you will make loads of friends at you're new school."
Amy nodded. She had just transferred to a new school, along with her friend, Jessica Moon, who was Julie's daughter. Amy's father had died before she was born, so she didn't know him at all. Her father was buried at the local graveyard, and Amy visited it often when she was a kid. But she was now a beautiful sixteen year old, and was happy to be.
"Are you taking the bus? Or should I drive you?" her mum inquired.
"Bus." Amy said shortly, "You can be kinda embarrassing, and that's not what I need on my first day!"
Johann grinned, "But it's my job as your mum to embarrass you," she laughed, as she hugged Amy goodbye.
Amy rolled her eyes as she walked out the front door and onto the pavement. The yellow school bus pulled up in front of her house and the door opened; Amy smiled politely at the bus driver and got onto the bus, looking around awkwardly for a seat. No luck.
"Amy!" she heard someone shout.
Amy turned to the direction of the voice, where a light blue hedgehog was waving. She had lovely blonde, wavy hair that was tied in a side plait, and was wearing a blue tank top with jean shorts up to her knees, along with grey boots that ended at her calf muscle. The boots had three buckles running on the top and on over the top of the shoe. Amy's face lit up as she sat next to the hedgehog.
"Hey Jessica, I was hoping to find you."
Jessica smiled back, "Same here, it's weird going to a new school."
"I know, but our mums wanted us to transfer, so we did. It couldn't be helped," Amy said shrugging her shoulders.
"I guess…" Jessica muttered, "But I miss Keith."
Jessica had a boyfriend in their old school called Keith, who she was still going out with. Her phone suddenly beeped with a message; Jessica slowly reached for her phone and opened it. A wide grin appeared on her face and Amy sighed.
"Let me guess. Keith?"
Jessica nodded happily, her fingers quickly texting a reply.
Amy exhaled, because she now knew that Jessica would be in a trance, and probably wouldn't talk to her until they got to school. The bus pulled up in front of a large white building that had many more buildings attached to it, as well as a large football pitch to the right of the school.
"Jessica, we're here," Amy spoke, shaking Jessica.
"Huh? What? Oh, right, sorry," Jessica said putting her phone away.
Amy sighed again before she got her bag from under the bus seat in front of her, swinging it over her skinny shoulder and walked off the bus.
"Whoa!" Amy heard Jessica exclaim behind her, "I didn't think the school was this big!"
Amy nodded, "Same here!"
Jessica grinned, before she walked closer to the school. Some students who were waiting outside whistled as she walked past.
"Hey hottie, you new?" a dark yellow hedgehog said checking out Jessica, who just rolled her eyes.
"Sorry boys, I'm taken," there were loud groans of disappointment when Jessica said this.
She turned around and stared at Amy, who was still sanding where she had gotten off the bus.
Jessica raised her eyebrows, "Coming?"
"I'm not so sure," Amy breathed, "Maybe we should have stayed at our old school."
"What happened to 'our mums wanted us to transfer, so we did'?" Jessica asked annoyed.
"I guess you're right."
"Duh," Jessica laughed, "Now, are you coming? Or are you gonna stand on that pavement forever?"
Amy sighed and did a little run so that she could catch up with Jessica and they entered the main building. The school had white walls, and a ruby red marble floor. The walls were adorned with posters advertising book sales and other things. Dark blue lockers were on either side of the busy hallway, and there were some doors leading off to classrooms as well. Amy gulped as people gave her and Jessica weird looks.
"Hi!" a voice said from behind them.
Amy and Jessica jumped with surprise, and turned around to see who had spoken to them. A purple cat with amber eyes smiled at them.
"Hi, I'm Blaze," she began, "And you must be Amy, and Jessica, the new girls." Blaze smiled.
She was wearing a light purple t-shirt with black stripes all over it, a black button up waist coat that had a few white strips going down it, grey skinny jeans, and black Converse.
"And I'm Silver," a hedgehog spoke, resting his arm on Blaze's shoulder, "Blaze's best friend."
"That's nice to know," Amy smiled awkwardly, "So, who are you guys?"
Blaze and Silver shared a grin. Jessica looked at Amy, who just shrugged her shoulders.
"Didn't the principle tell you?" Silver asked.
"We actually just got here," Jessica answered truthfully.
"Oh, well Silver and I are your guides, we'll show you around to show you to your classes, and all that kinda stuff." Blaze explained.
Amy and Jessica nodded. The bell rang and students hurried to get to class.
Blaze beamed, "I'll go with Jessica, and you go with Amy," she said to Silver.
He nodded in agreement, before turning and smiling at Amy. She just smiled back up at him.
"Shall I take you to class?" he offered.
Amy grinned, "Why so formal?"
Silver shrugged, "That just who I am, now, shall we go?"
Amy laughed, "We shall."
Silver grinned and linked arms with Amy, before marching off in the direction of a different hall. Amy laughed as Silver slipped on the marble floor. A black hedgehog scowled from a dark corner at the end of the room. He didn't like Amy going off with Silver…
-XxX-
Jessica sat in her English class. Blaze had shown her all the rooms around the school. She got to skip Geography because she was new, which she didn't mind missing. A blue hedgehog walked up to her and smiled. He was wearing a baggy blue hoodie, and dark blue jeans with orange Converse. He had grass green eyes.
"You sure like the colour blue," Jessica observed, "You know, apart from the shoes," she said looking down at the hedgehog's orange Converse.
The hedgehog chuckled, and held out his hand, "Hi, I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."
Jessica smiled and shook his hand, "I'm Jessica, Jessica Moon."
"You must be the new girl?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, me and my friend, Amy Rose," Jessica replied
"She sounds like a nice person. You'll have to introduce me sometime," he chuckled, winking as he went back to his desk.
Jessica grinned, before returning to her work. The class room was like any old class room; it had creamy wall paper and a wooden floor. There was a black chalk bored at the front of the room, with the teacher's desk in front of it. Small tables lined both sides of the room that held books and a globe of the world on it, which were lit up by several windows that overlooked the football pitch.
Sonic looked over his shoulder at Jessica, and smirked, before he passed her a note.
'Can I sit with you at lunch?'
Jessica grinned, before she quickly scribbled down 'Whatever you want, Blue', and tossed it back at Sonic. He smiled when he read it and gave her a thumbs up. Jessica beamed; at least she had made one friend…
-XxX-
Amy was sitting by a window seat in her Math class, looking over at the schoolyard. A red echidna approached her; he tapped Amy on the shoulder. He was wearing short sleeved black V-neck top and baggy blue jeans, with a brown leather jacket as well. He also had big red trainers that had thick green lines going across them.
"Sup!" he greeted, "I'm Knuckles."
"Um, hi? I'm Amy?" she replied, confused at Knuckles' random outburst. Knuckles grinned, but his phone rang before he could reply.
"Excuse me while I take this," he apologized to Amy as he excused himself, retreating to a quiet unoccupied corner of the classroom. "Hello?" he asked into his phone.
"Knuckles, it's me," the voice spoke, "How's that plan going?"
"The plans going great," Knuckles assured, giving a small twisted smile.
Flashback:
"You want us to WHAT?!" Rouge exclaimed angrily.
Shadow sighed, "I want you both to make friends with Amy"
"Ummm, why?" Rouge asked annoyed, "I thought you wanted to suck her blood and turn her? Not be friends with her?"
Shadow sighed again, "If you become friends with her, we can get close to her, then we can suck her blood and I will turn her," Shadow explained patiently.
"I guess that can work?" Knuckles agreed.
"Uggg, fine!" Rouge moaned, "I guess she'll be our friend if we turn her."
"Not if we turn her Rouge," Shadow chuckled, "when we turn her…"
End of Flashback.
"Good to know, ok, now get back to the plan!" the voice ordered.
Knuckles quickly hung up his phone and put it back in his jean pocket, before walking back over to Amy's desk. She looked up from her work. Knuckles just stood there, a cheesy smile on his face.
"Yes?" Amy asked, putting her pencil down, and crossing her arms.
Knuckles just sniggered, sitting on a desk behind him, which caused Amy to frown. How could he be doing all this and not be getting in trouble? Amy looked around and saw that her teacher, Miss Calculus, wasn't in the room.
"Um, where's Miss Calculus?" Amy asked.
"Went to powder her nose," Knuckles said, "Appropriate name for a math teacher, right?" he joked, but Amy didn't find it funny. "So… Are you enjoying your first day?" he asked, trying to start a conversation and break the awkward silence.
Amy coughed, "I was…"
Knuckles laughed, "Yeah, I hate Math too."
"No, it's not Math, its somebody in my Math class!" Amy said sounding annoyed.
"Are you talking about Alistair Porcupine?" Knuckles asked, "Because nobody really likes him-"
"No! It's you!" Amy barked at him angrily.
"Oh, right, sorry," Knuckles lowered his head apologetically.
Amy sighed, "Its ok, I mean, you were only trying to be friendly."
Knuckles clapped his hands together, "Exactly!"
Amy laughed and Knuckles grinned. The bell ran and Miss Calculus came running in.
"Sorry class," she apologised, "The bell rang so just put your work on my desk and go!"
Everyone grinned and gathered their stuff; she was a very chilled and well liked teacher. Amy put her pencils and pens in her bag, and stood up then went to put her work on Miss Calculus's desk, before turning to exit the classroom.
"Hey Amy!" Knuckles yelled, following Amy into the hallway, "Want me to take you to the Cafeteria?"
"It's ok, Knuckles," a voice behind them said, "I got her."
Amy turned around to see Blaze walking up to them. She gave Knuckles a friendly nod, then turned to address Amy.
"I'll take you Amy," she smiled, "Bye Knuckles."
"Yeah, bye I guess…" Knuckles sighed.
"Bye Knuckles," Amy said giving him a small wave, "See you next Math class."
Knuckles gave a small grin and a wave before a bat tapped him on the shoulder. Amy looked away and after Blaze.
"Who are we gonna eat with?" Amy asked.
"You'll see," Blaze grinned, leading Amy down another corridor. Amy bit her lip anxiously; the first lunch of her first day. She hoped she'd make a good impression…
