AH thanks again for reading! I see so many have read – please feel free to leave a review! It would make me feel good :3

Anyway this chapter is going to be a culmination of the first week's events as told by Kairy. It also covers a pretty great night of bowling.

First weeks of school are never very interesting.

Unless of course you are the new kid.

;)

OH and I forgot to remind everyone of this last chapter, but I DO NOT OWN ANY of the characters except Kairy and any other OC's. I also own the basic idea of the plot.

Happy reading!

Chapter 3

I sighed in relief as I flopped down on my bed Friday after school. It had easily been the longest week of my life.

Okay maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it felt like it had gone on forever. I liked my new friends, but classes were boring. My only AP classes were English and Chemistry, and frankly I was not feeling super challenged. I was pretty nerdy and I wanted to fast forward to when we started labs.

Socially, the week was still really was not that interesting.

On Wednesday I had gym last period, and I had asked Blaze about the really busty bat in our class. Her name was apparently Rouge. I asked if she was a bitch and Blaze never responded.

On Thursday Blaze and I did not have the same lunch, so I sat with Amy and she had introduced me to Cosmo again and her sophomore friend Cream. She was a little tan colored rabbit. Very sweet. During that lunch, I discovered that Amy did, in fact, have a thing for Sonic. I was never big on causing drama, but I remembered Blaze mentioning that Amy liked him on Tuesday, and apparently she'd never admit it.

"So any cute guys I should look out for?" I had asked. Amy's eyes had immediately lit up.

"Well the guys on the football team are hot, but any athletic guy is hot." She said quickly. I caught her trying to divert my attention to a different sport.

"Well I have always found track runners attractive…any thoughts?" I had asked oh so deviously.

Amy's face burned red, "No oh my gosh none of them are cute."

Cosmo and Cream at that point were in a fit of giggles. Amy began to fume at them.

"What is so funny?!"

"Nothing. Didn't realize none of the track team members are cute to you." Cosmo giggled.

Amy looked so embarrassed. "Did I say something?" I said innocently.

Amy had sighed, "Look don't tell anybody but I kind of have a small thing for Sonic. Well I don't know if it's real but he's alright I guess."

I swore to secrecy.

Looking back I realized what I had done was a pretty bitchy move and I felt bad. I didn't want to be that girl that always stirred up trouble.

Today Blaze had invited me to bowling. I had agreed. I was to meet them at the alley at seven the next night to hang out. I was excited for that. I felt so included and I had only been in school for a week!

Today I had also been introduced to Tails. He was a cute little orange fox with two tails. Apparently it was some sort of genetic defect, but he had learned to fly with them, which was pretty freaking amazing if you asked me. I learned that he and Sonic had grown up together and their families were very close. Tails was a little younger than the rest of us juniors, but he had skipped a grade back in elementary school due to his intelligence. Apparently he was a whiz with technology and had made the watch he was wearing, along with a cool paper organizer thingy in his locker.

We had also picked chemistry lab partners today. I did not have any friends in the class, so I was randomly put with the orange echidna from the first day of school, Tikal. She was really nice and kind of quiet. I also noticed she wore a lot of beads and things in her quills, and she seemed to have a very earthy-crunchy kind of hippy personality. We had exchanged phone numbers and Blaze told me she was a good person. Blaze also offered for me to invite Tikal to bowling. I did and she had accepted.

I was happy with the people I had befriended – they were so nice and fun to be with. I was really looking forward to bowling.

But after sitting around home on a Friday night for a long time, I became bored. And then I became curious.

I opened up my laptop and logged in to my very unused People Portal account. I then started looking up my friends one by one. Creepy? Unnecessary? Weird? Maybe. But I was interested to see if there was anything interesting on there.

Blaze's profile was mostly empty. There were a few pictures of her and Marine and Silver, but she didn't seem to post much. Silver's was similar. Amy's, however, was full of pictures and posts.

I scanned through the pictures. There were selfies, pictures of her family, and pictures from a few parties. It seemed to me that she didn't go too crazy, which was nice. I saw one picture of her and in the background there were people playing beer pong. But every picture she was in, she wasn't holding a drink and she was usually with Cosmo. They seemed to be those typical party bystanders, who watched everything and had fun but didn't have to participate to do so. I was intrigued. I really was hanging out with a good group of people.

Knuckle's page was almost the opposite. He had several pictures of parties with the football team, and he was almost always holding a glorious plastic red cup. I didn't know the red echidna well at all, but his smiles in every picture seemed forced. There was one picture he was tagged in where he was in the background, and by following his eyes you could see they were on a white bat also in the background. I recognized her from my gym class. Her name was Rouge, as I had remembered Blaze telling me that. She had the biggest boobs I had ever seen. I figured they were fake. Knuckles must have had a thing for her at one point. Or he just marveled at her jugs like every other guy.

I clicked on her profile. She had amazingly tealy eyes, and she was absolutely gorgeous. The only problem was that she clearly knew it. In ever picture she was dressed in clothes that showed off her curves in a "come and get it" way rather than a classy way. I really REALLY wanted to judge her, but I just couldn't. She also did not look happy, really happy, in most of her pictures. My damn feels were getting to me as usual. From the looks of it she was a frequent flier in several guys' bedrooms. I then came across a picture of her in a cheerleading uniform and my feels were gone. She was definitely just a dumb whore.

I then clicked on a link to a guy in one of her photos. I had seen him around school a few times but never thought twice of it. He was a hedgehog with black fur and red stripes. Apparently his name was Shadow. It looked from pictures as though he was also on the track team. There were many pictures of him and Sonic running. He had no posts of his own, but he was in a few pictures with Rouge, and he was not smiling in any of them. He actually wasn't smiling in any of the pictures. I figured he was that one weird emo kid every grade had and the popular girls liked to tease.

An hour later I figured I had found the profiles of every person in school and decided to shut it down. I was being too weird for my own good.

The next day went by slow. I spent all morning cleaning up the yard with my family, and it took forever for bowling time to show up. But by 6:30 I was thankfully on the road in my car following my GPS to the bowling alley. When I got there I saw Blaze's red car and walked inside to find her. She was with Marine, Silver, Amy, Sonic, Cosmo, and Knuckles.

"Hey guys!" I said smiling. They all waved back.

"Have any trouble getting here?" Blaze asked. I shook my head. It was actually a pretty straight ride.

Tails then walked in and came over to stand with Sonic. They did a cute little secret handshake thing. They really did seem like brothers from another mother.

A few minutes passed and eventually Tikal came in. She also brought a brown lynx with black tipped ears, paws, and tail in.

"Oh hey Nicole!" Amy greeted cheerily. I vaguely recalled clicking through her profile. She was on student council, I think.

After a few greetings and whatnot, bowling began. Things started off quietly. It was apparent that Tikal sucked as bad as I did, which made me feel pretty great. Sonic and Knuckles got super competitive.

"Alright watch this!" Sonic bragged as his ball sped down the alleyway and into the pins in a perfect strike. Knuckles grumbled, "Oh yeah? Well watch this!"

He threw his bowling ball aggressively and it smashed into the pins and into the back wall of the lane. All of us just stood there and looked at him. He sweat dropped.

"Uhhhh soooo who wants to get out of here and go for ice cream?!" He said nervously as an employee of the alley started coming over to us. We all scrambled to put our normal shoes back on and piled out the door. Luckily nobody came after us.

"Head to Benny's!" Amy shouted as we all ran to our cars.

I followed Blaze's noticeable vehicle out of the parking lot and down to a little ice cream stand. It was a cute little place, and it was a good place for me to note since I loved ice cream almost as much as life itself.

We piled back out of our various automobiles and went to stand in line. I watched as Amy searched her purse frantically in front of me in our little group.

"Crap I don't have any more cash." She said quietly to herself.

Almost immediately Sonic pushed a few dollars in her direction very discreetly. But of course where I was standing I saw it plain as day. Amy quickly grabbed the money, her eyes sparkling. Sonic whipped around as if nothing had happened. Amy glanced at me, speechless. I smirked.

After ordering my small cookie dough in a cup, I joined everyone else at a large table. I sat on the end next to Tikal and Nicole and listened in on the gossip.

"So who's going to Rouge's tonight?" Sonic eyed the rest of us. I had a blank look on my face. Was I supposed to get this?

"I am man. But only for a few." Knuckles mumbled.

"I'm going for a little too. So is Cosmo. But we will only stay till 11." Amy piped up.

"Nicole and I have other plans." Tikal stated.

"Uhh what are we talking about?" I asked.

Sonic turned to me, "Every year on the first Saturday of the school year, one of the cheerleaders will throw a huge party at their house. We usually don't stay forever, but going for a little to get a taste of the drama is always fun. Pretty sure Rouge's parents are never home…and knowing her, it's going to be a good party."

I looked at the rest of the table, "So should I go?"

"Everyone's invited. It's only 9 now, we could probably head over. I don't stay long, though." Blaze said to me. I decided I could go. Why the heck not? I mean I wasn't one for drama but…

Ugh okay maybe I was a little interested to see if anything would happen. But that was only because I was new to the school and needed to get all the info I could about the rest of the student body so I could properly function among everyone else.

After we finished our treats, I hopped into my car and again tailgated the red sedan to Rouge's place. It was going to be an interesting evening.
