Hi people! Welcome to the third chapter of the story! Thanxs toTikiTails & Mystery001 for reviewing. You guys are the best! Okay, this is wired. 242 people looked at this story (which I love y'all for that!) & only 5 reviewed? Do y'all not think the story's good or something? Just wondering about that. Okay, besides that, I tried to make it short & sweet, but here's the thrid chapter to Highschool for Hedgehogs & Other Crazed Animals!

Chapter 3

Sonic sighed, holding his tray and looking for a spot to sit and eat his lunch in peace.

"Sonic! Hey Sonic! Over here! I saved you a spot!" Amy yelled what seemed like halfway across the campus.

'So much for a peaceful lunch,' Sonic thought as he journeyed over to her.

"Yes Sonic," said a mysterious voice to himself. "Enjoy your lunch with your little girlfriend, because for the rest of your life will be nothing but misery and pain…"

:) :p ;)

"Shouldn't we be eating over with Sonic and Amy," Tails asked, munching on a hamburger next to Knuckles and Shadow.

"Nah, let them have their time together," Knuckles said, popping a fry into his mouth.

"Besides, Faker needs it," Shadow said, sipping on his soda.

"Speaking of couples," Tails said, giving a strange look over to Shadow before turning back at Knuckles. "How are you and Rouge holding up?"

"It's okay I guess," he said, kicking his feet up like Shadow. "I mean, I don't get to see her a lot seeing as she's in her second year of college and everything, but we do lots of things when she gets time off."

"So, you're saying that you do things on her watch, not yours?" Tails asked.

"Exactly," Knuckles replied.

Shadow huffed and said, "Loser," before going back to drinking his soda.

Tails and Knuckles both looked at him before ignoring him and continuing their conversation.

"Well, unlike Shadow," Tails said, giving a nasty glare at Shadow. But knowing Tails, it wasn't all that nasty and Shadow just brushed it off. "I think its great that you do it to your girlfriend's schedule and not yours."

"Thanks Tails. I appreciate that. Speaking of that, is Sonic ever gonna make his move?" Knuckles asked.

"Huh?" Tails said.

"Oh come on, you can't be that stupid!" Shadow said.

"Hey!" Tails yelled at him.

Ignoring him, Shadow continued, "I mean, you can even see it on his face. That Faker is head over heals with that Rose girl, and he's too stupid to make his move."

"Aside from all the name-calling, Shadow had a point," Knuckles said. Tails looked at him. "If Sonic doesn't make his move soon, someone else will, and he'll hate himself for it forever."

Tails nodded and looked to where the two were sitting. 'Come on Sonic, this is your chance.'

:) :p ;)

Sonic concentrated on his food a hell of a lot more than usual. 'What's wrong with me? Why can't I look at her while she's talking? It just… makes me feel weird to do so.'

"Hey Sonic. Sonic, are you listening to me?" Amy asked, snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"Huh what?" he said, looking up at her.

She pouted and crossed her arms. "You weren't, we're you?"

Sonic looked down, ashamed. "No…"

She sighed. "Sonic, am I boring you?" she asked, moving from sitting across the table to right next to him.

"No, its just that, I had a lot on my mind," he said, bringing his face up to see her.

When we did, their noses brushed past each other for a second. It sent a sensation through both of them. When he looked Amy in the eyes, they just stopped and stared. They couldn't move.

'What's wrong with me?' Amy asked herself. 'I can't look away from his eyes. They're so handsome and its like they're saying for me to keep staring, to not look away. Or it will break his heart.'

'Her eyes are so beautiful, so mysterious,' Sonic thought, staring into her green eyes. 'I… I can't help but stare, and keep staring. It makes me… want to just…'

Sonic grabbed her hand and held it gently. Amy looked at him with a confused face. Then, she knew. Slowly, Sonic was leaning closer towards her. She tried moving her head back, but Sonic just scooted more forward. Then, she stopped to think.

'What am I doing! I've been waiting for this my whole life! I can't back down now, especially when Sonic's the one doing it!'

Knowing that, Amy started leaning closer, her eyes slowly closing. Sonic closed his eyes too, knowing what would happen. They were about to kiss when-

Suddenly, they both stopped. Sonic and Amy both opened their eyes at the same time to see how close they actually were. Their noses were barely touching, their lips, almost at each other. They were frozen in place, as if just gripping hold of reality and realizing what they were actually doing. Sonic slowly backed away, as did Amy.

"Uh… sorry about that…" Sonic said, just barely above a whisper. He couldn't bare to look at her now, not after what they were fixing to do.

"Yeah…" Amy said, in the same tone as Sonic's.

"Well, uh… I've got to go. Lunch is almost over." Sonic grabbed his tray and got up, leaving Amy sitting alone on the table.

Amy sighed, cupping her face with her hands. 'Why! Why didn't I just let it happen? Sonic was about to kiss me, and then… I chickened out again.'

She sighed and picked up her tray, dumping it and walking past Tails's table, a sad look on each of their faces, except Shadow, who hada sad, but grinning face onin his mind.

:) :p ;)

On the other side of school, sitting on a bench, Sonic buried his face into his hands. 'Why! Why did I have to freeze up and stop! Why!'

The third chapter if finished! Yay! Well, there was a little Sonic/Amy smut, to say the least. So, I hope you all enjoyed that, & yes, there will be more later. Also, now you now why Rouge hasn't been coming up in the story a lot, but she will be in person later, like maybe in the next chapter or the one after that! So, keep bringing in those reviews & I might update earlier. (might!) Thanxs:) :p ;)
