Hey!...I don't own anything...
"Amy, I would like you to meet my boyfriend Ash! Ash, meet Amy!"
Mina's boyfriend, Ash, was a yellow mongoose with black hair and dark blue eyes. His dress shirt was rolled above his elbows revealing the sleeve to tattoos on both of his arms. He wore a black belt with his plaid pants and black combat boots. He four sets of piercings on each ear and red sunglasses perched on his nose.
Ash gave Amy a firm handshake. "Nice to meet you, Amy."
Amy gave him a friendly smile. "Likewise."
The girls took their seats closest to Ash. Mina sat in front of him while Amy sat to the right of Mina. The teacher mentioned a new student in class and handed Amy an Algebra textbook. Class began with a new lesson that hardly nobody paid attention to. Amy couldn't seem to focus as Mina leaned over to chat.
"Ugh. I hate math. I can never understand anything the teacher says." She whispered. Amy nodded her head.
"I can understand. Back in my old school, I would ask someone to tutor me." As Amy looked at the board, she instantly got a headache due to the equations written on the board. Mina must have had the same problem, because she turned to Ash with a tearful cry.
"Ash! Help me! I'm lost!" She whispered loudly.
"Are you kidding me?! Class just started!"
With the last thirty minutes left in class, the teacher handed out worksheets and allowed students to work with partners. It was no surprise that Amy was forced into partnership with Ash and Mina. The next twenty minutes consisted of Mina constantly bothering Ash to help her with every single problem and an annoyed Ash helping Mina walk through every step of each equation. Amy managed to understand most problems without Ash's help, but as the questions got harder to solve, she had no choice but to turn to the male mongoose.
Finally, the hopeless group managed to arrive at the last equation. However, it was too hard for any of them to solve. Working separately, they came up with three separate answers, which was frustrating to say the least.
"Alright, class. If you don't finish the worksheet by the end of class, it's homework."
Mina cried in her seat. "It's hopeless! We can never solve this hard question!"
Ash crossed his arms in frustration. "Not to mention that we have band practice today, along with more homework on top of that."
"Shit! I almost forgot!" Mina pulled on her purple hair.
"You guys are in a band?" Amy asked. Mina's eyes seemed to light up like fireworks at the mention of their band.
"For the record, I'M in a band. Ash just manages it." Ash rolled his eyes when Mina simply brushed him off.
"Oh cool! What instrument do you play?"
"My awesome vocals! I'm the lead singer for my band 'Forget-Me-Knots'."
"Her nickname is 'Songoose' because of her wonderful voice." Ash commented.
"You should totally come to one of our concerts! We'll make you head-bang until your neck pops off!"
"Not literally of course. We can't afford the lawsuit." Ash assured. Amy giggled.
"Thanks for the heads up. I would love to go see you perform. I'll actually be the first concert I've ever been too."
Mina and Ash gasped dramatically while giving Amy a remorseful stare. "Amy…you poor band virgin."
Ash placed his hand on Amy's should gently. "Don't worry. We'll make sure your first time will be memorable."
Amy nervously nodded her head. "Um…thanks…?"
Then the bell rang and the trio had completely forgotten about their math problem they had to solve. Amy sighed and banged her pencil against the desk.
"Is there somebody we know who could help us?"
Ash and Mina's heads shot up as they stared at each other and Amy.
Tails stared at the problem for less than five seconds before answering.
"Here's the problem. You guys needed to divide the fraction to the equation, which in this case you would be multiplying. Then everything is self-explanatory."
He gave the paper back to Ash as the trio stared at him bewildered. Mina dropped to her knees and desperately grabbed Tails by his legs.
"TUTOR ME!"
Tails scratched his head while giving Mina a pitiful smile. "Might as well since I tutor everyone else anyway."
"Wow Tails. You must be pretty advanced for freshman." Amy complimented.
Tails shook his head and laughed. "No. I'm actually not a freshman. I'm a junior."
Amy stared at Tails like he had two heads. "A junior?! I don't mean to be rude, but you look so young!"
Tails laughed again. "It's okay. I get that a lot."
"The truth is Tails is a little genius." Ash explained after prying Mina away from the fox boy. "He skipped a lot of grades by the time he turned ten."
"I'm actually thirteen." Tails finished.
"WOW! That's amazing!" Tails blushed as Amy's praise.
"You're telling me! He could've graduated college by now." Mina said.
"But I've decided to wait." Tails shrugged like it was no big deal. "Being a genius is great and all, but it's not as fun if you leave your friends behind."
Amy smiled. "I can respect that."
The bell rang for the third class to begin.
"Awwww! I don't wanna leave Amy!" Mina cried.
Amy smiled for the hundredth time since she started being with Mina. "It's okay. I promised that I would sit with you guys during lunch today, remember?"
That reminder seemed to bring a sparkle in Mina's eyes. "Totally! How could I forget?"
Ash rolled his eyes. "You're being pretty forgetful today. I can't believe you were this close to missing band practice!" He scolded.
Mina clasped her hands together in a forgiving manner. "I'm sorry, babe! Forgive me?" She turned to Amy giving her a hug. "We'll see you at lunch!"
"It was nice meeting you Amy." Ash waved with the metal salute as the couple raced to their next class.
Amy waved back as she and Tails walked to their next class.
"What class do you have, Tails?" Amy asked.
"I have study hall right now, but I'm going to meet up with Sonic and Knuckles at the library. Wanna come with?"
Did the school genius just asked to skip class for the second time that day?!
"Sounds like fun, but I have…" She checked her schedule. "Creative writing next and I don't want to miss it."
Tails shrugged his shoulders. "It's cool. I'll see you at lunch. By the way, the creative writing class is down the hall."
"Thanks! I'll see you later."
The two waved at each other as they took their separate paths.
I'm aware that Ash Mongoose does not that tattoos or so many piercings. That was his prototype look and I thought that it would fit with this story better than his original look. I hope you all don't mind...
