Hello my lovely readers! I want to thank you all for the views/follows/favorites/reviews/etc. I am very encouraged whenever I see them, and I'm just so happy! Thank you all so much!

Oh! Just as a quick heads-up... Wave's name will be changed to Frost. Thanks to SpeedsMyGame for pointing that out. Whenever Frost is mentioned, it is still the same character as Wave, but just a different name.

Without any other interruptions, here's chapter 3! =)

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Amy yawned, blearily trying to open her locker. She put in her combination, and tugged on the lock, but it wouldn't budge. It was the third time she tried to open the locker, and she was getting fed up.

She could feel her eyes turning blue again, as she snapped her fingers and her hammer appeared in her hands. She got ready to swing it, until someone grabbed the head of it from behind. "Whoa there, Ames. Calm down."

She nearly dropped the hammer. He was the last person she wanted to see right now. Especially after Nathaniel yesterday. She managed to snap her fingers again, getting rid of the hammer.

Then Sonic appeared in front of her, a kind smile on his face. She was washed over with guilt. If he was still her friend after yesterday, then he must be the kindest hedgehog she had ever met. But I thought that about Nathaniel… she thought bitterly.

"Which locker is yours? Isn't it locker 1345?" Amy nodded. Sonic raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you trying locker 1344?" Amy blushed in embarrassment. Damnit, Amy! Get your act together! she thought.

Sonic looked sympathetically at her. "Were you busy last night? Because you never came to the meeting by the beach." Amy facepalmed, grabbing her board and scribbling: "I'm so sorry! I was really busy, and I just forgot completely."

Sonic nodded understandingly. "It's fine." Amy shook her head, and wrote, "No. It's not. Today after school, we will talk by the beach. Okay?" Sonic smiled. "Sure." He turned to walk away, but then stopped. He looked over his shoulder. "And Amy? Nice outfit." Amy blushed as she watched him turn forward again and walk away to science.

Damn! I can't fall for him! I-I'm not strong enough to face rejection. What if he's just saying that because I'm pretty? His friends think I'm pretty, and they don't look like they like me. Besides, Knuckles has a girlfriend. She grabbed her backpack, opening the correct lock this time, and watching in satisfaction when the lock opened.

She put her extra things there, and shut the locker, slinging her backpack over her shoulder and walked over to science. There was a free seat next to Sonic, but Knuckles had his sights on it. So she sat in the back again.

She took out her phone, when she felt a ping. It was a text from Sally.

"Hey Amy. What's up?" Sally greeted her. Amy bit her lip, typing, "Boy trouble, is all." Sally replied back. "Oh?" Amy responded, "Yeah… Wanna talk before lunch?" Sally sent another message. "Sure thing. Where?"

"In the language arts room, Mrs. Wanant?" Sally replied, "Ok. Hope you're alright, Amy. You're a really good friend." Amy wrote back, "Thank you." Sally sent a smiley face emoji, before the teacher rapped the board, indicating the start of class.

Amy walked towards the lunch room, where she caught sight of Sally. She cocked her head towards the door and, to her pleasure, Sally got the hint and walked over to her. Soon, they were on their way to Mrs. Wanant's room, and Amy was planning what to say.

Should she tell Sally about her complete situation? Or just parts of it? Should she tell Sally about Nathaniel? About her being a siren? No… the siren part should be a secret. she thought.

"Amy? Are you alright?" Amy gave her a small nod, before taking out her board. She ended up scribbling down something about her previous boyfriend hurting her really badly, and that she might like Sonic, but she doesn't want to be heartbroken all over again.

Sally wrapped her arms around Amy, who melted into the hug and wept, for Nathaniel, for Sonic, for the Ocean. She didn't know what to do anymore.

"Amy… I've known Sonic since I was young..." she hesitated, before adding, "I even dated him before. He's very sweet. I'm sure he wouldn't hurt you." Amy sniffed, before writing, "I know that, but what if he doesn't like me like that? I can't face rejection now." Sally nodded thoughtfully. Then she asked, "Are you meeting him any time from now?"

Amy nodded, writing, "Yes. Today after school at the beach." Sally nodded. "I suggest you tell him everything about Nathaniel. He'll understand, I'm sure of it." Amy sniffed again, erasing her board and nodding dejectedly. Sally gave her a sympathetic glance, before she put an arm around Amy's shoulders.

"Come on, Amy. Let's go eat lunch." Amy tried for a smile, and they went off to the lunchroom. When Amy sat down in the same spot as yesterday; between Sonic and Sally, Sonic looked especially hyped.

"Hey Ames! Did you know-" He noticed the tear-stains on her cheeks, and he frowned. "Amy, what happened?" Amy forced a smile, writing, "I'm fine. Don't worry." Sonic growled. "No, you're not! Who did this to you? Scourge? If I see him again, I will beat the living-"

Amy tapped his shoulder to stop him. Though it was endearing how much he cared. She wrote, "Sonic… It's not Scourge. I'll tell you at the beach after school." Sonic relaxed, and then he nodded. "Okay. Are you sure it wasn't Scourge?" Amy smiled and wrote, "I'm sure."

Sonic gave her a smile. "Okay… if there is something else wrong, tell me. Alright?" Amy nodded, smiling. She would tell him everything, except for her siren origins.

"Amy?" Amy relaxed. He was here. She glanced behind her as Sonic sat crosslegged next to her. She got out her board and wrote: "Hello Sonic! How are you doing?"

Sonic gave a cocky smirk. "I'm doing pretty well." Amy smiled. She wrote, "Good." There was a small silence, in which the two didn't know how to start. Soon, Amy scribbled down something like, "Sonic, I need to tell you something", while Sonic said, "Amy, I need to tell you something." Amy smiled while Sonic chuckled, but then Sonic said, "You go first."

Amy shook her head, pointing at Sonic. Sonic sighed, but looked happy, and he nodded. "Okay… I'll go first." Amy gestured for him to keep going. He took a deep breath, before he launched into the explanation.

"I used to date Fiona back in my first year of high school. She was a kind person, and was always there when I needed her. I developed somewhat of a crush over her, if you want to put it that way. She was beautiful, smart, kind, and was perfect. We dated, and were happy, until I caught her cheating on me."

Sonic's eyes watered, and he cleared his throat. "She-She was kissing S-Scourge. And it seemed like they were doing this for a while. I-I was angry, upset, sad, and heartbroken all at the same time. I trusted her, but she..." Sonic fell silent as Amy wrapped her arms around his neck.

He sat shocked for a second, before he melted into the hug, pulling her as close to him as she could. He could feel the tears coming out of his eyes, but he did nothing to stop them. He let them flow, and let out a choking sound.

Amy grip only tightened reassuringly.

Suddenly a thought struck Sonic. Amy was, by no doubt, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. But she didn't brag, or flaunt her beauty and grace. She hid it. But why? There were so many mysteries surrounding this incredible girl, but it all narrowed down to one fact.

She was different. Very different. And she had a secret.

Sonic pulled away after a while, murmuring, "Thanks. I-I needed that." Amy gave him a sympathetic look, and turned back to the water. Sonic took this moment to study her.

Her long eyelashes complimented her beautiful jade eyes, and her gorgeous pink fur only made her more beautiful. Not to mention the way she looked modernly timeless. Sonic didn't think anyone could do that, but she pulled it off. And beautifully, at that. But Sonic glanced past those features, and reflected on her personality, as it matched her physical appearance perfectly.

She was very kind, self-less, and was patient. He knew that because of the persistant way she wrote on her board. The way she pursed her lips in concentration, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't. The way she narrowed her eyes at the board when she had to answer a question during class.

It was strangely endearing.

She was also very intelligent. He loved that about her. It was one of many things that Amy had that the other popular girls didn't. Along with a modest personality. In any other male, they would have stopped considering her at the thought that she was mute, but Sonic found her intriguing.

Why was she mute? Was there even a reason? What secret, if she had one, was she hiding? The questions plagued Sonic's mind, but he pushed them away and tapped Amy's shoulder. She turned, smiling, and tilted her head, which looked to Sonic like she was asking what he wanted.

"You wanted to let me know something?" he prompted, smiling as she reached for her board. She scribbled thoughtfully for a few minutes, Sonic biting his lip every time she screwed up her face when she made a mistake. He loved when she did that.

Soon enough, she finished writing, and showed him her board, which had something about Nathaniel, her previous boyfriend, breaking up with her because he found out a secret about her. She was still heartbroken, and wondered if she'd ever find love again.

Sonic looked up at her when he was done, wincing as Amy hung her head. He put a finger under her chin and lifted it up, smiling at her shocked expression. "Smile, Ames. I need to see that smile again."

Amy smiled, but in reality was very shocked. I don't want him to get this close! What if I lose control of myself? I...I…

Amy threw herself at him. Sonic flinched, expecting a slap, a punch, a kick.

He never expected a kiss.
