#4 Maybe


Who would have thought that the roof would be a perfect escape?

The air seemed so relaxing brushing against my skin with the beautiful scent of flowers from the garden below. I simply wish that I could have discovered this magnificence when I had first started school here instead of my final year. Now that would have saved me from a lot of trouble like recent scandals.

I blew a piece of my bangs from my face and embraced my knees all while I gazed at the miraculous scenery.

"What the hell are you doing up here?" My gaze shifted upward to a blue figure, Sonic, standing by the door, body tensed, lips in the form of a frown with narrowed eyes.

Just great.

"Enjoying the view." I say with an easy smile. I don't feel in the mood of arguing. "Care to join me?"

It's funny how life takes an unexpected turn.

His eyes lifted slightly almost as if he was expecting me to make a smart remark. To be honest, I wasn't sure why I even acknowledged him. Maybe because I secretly find him like one of those mysterious characters in books I've read that I just want to unravel-or perhaps it's all in my mind.

Mom was right, I so need a life.

I groaned at the thought that where suddenly interrupted by movement beside me.

I blinked.

Sonic sat beside me, inspecting me closely like he expects me to attack him at any moment. It's like a tough guy like him is afraid of little Ol' me. I smile at myself, at the foolishness of my own imagination. A cold hearted creature like him wouldn't ever fear me.

"What are you smiling about?" Sonic wonders as I exhale a breath and make myself comfortable.

"Everything." That's half true. In spite of my anti-social side everyone sees. In fact, I actually enjoy watching others be happy rather than focus on my own. When others are happy. I'm happy.

He scoffs at my respond and shakes his head as his gaze drifts to the students walking below, oblivious to use, "There's nothing great about everything to smile about."

I can't help but frown at his grim tone. "That's not true. Life is beautiful as cliché as it sounds."

"You wouldn't understand, you're too immature." He says, patronizing me.

The words spoken make me laugh. "Says the one who freaks over gossip."

"Shut up, you're so damn annoying."

I stop, not because he said, but because he overreacted. Why is it that he always has ruin the vibe? It's like he has something against laughing. More specifically, he dislikes immaturity which makes no sense since we're at that age it's right and normal to be that way.

I take a glance at him glaring at me.

"What's your problem?" I snap, he has succeeded at hitting my nerves. "Why do you hate me so much? If you're so mature then why are you still hung over that I beat your as-"

"You didn't beat me. You caught me off guard." He contradicted with blazing eyes. "Then spread lies!"

I just want to slap him again and make him hurt and cry like the little boy I know is hiding in that teenage body. But we're in school and I don't want to risk getting in serious consequences so I take a deep breathe instead.

I won't raise to his level.

"You're something else," I start, lowering my eyes at him, "you've got to be the strangest guy I know."

He tilted his head my comment and I caught the covers of his mouth tipping into a small smile, "I can say the same thing about you."

"What!" I brawled in what I tried to sound playful, "Are you calling me a guy?"

Sonic seemed to pull his ears back nervously, "I never said that." He stated defensively. I growled in response and smacked him on the back of head with a slap in which he hissed and rubbed his head while shooting a cold glare at my direction. "But you sure are acting like one, now I know why no one bothered to talk to you!"

"Ha, I don't know why I even tried being nice to you… you IDIOT!" I shrieked, shaking my head and standing while I recollect my things and walk away, needing the space. I am done being nice. Especially to blue hedgehogs named Sonic.

He chuckles with a smug spread across his face as he jumps to his feet and follows behind me, "I'm right aren't I? Nobody can handle your damn devices. You are unbearable and insane." He laughs and I feel him tug at my high ponytail. At that moment my nerves snapped and I swirled around with a fist.

I freeze.

He glares his eyes on my face, his hand grips my wrist beside his head and he chuckles. "Really thought you could do that again?" he asks lowly. I have to admit that his cold gaze is partially making me feel slightly afraid as I stare wide-eyed.

I systematically school my features, straighten my shoulders and put the walls back up.

Others can't hurt me if I don't let them.

"I hate you with a passion." I reply with bitterness. I try to pull away and move to walk to the door and escape, but I can't.

His eyes are narrowed on my face, his grip tightening its hold. "Well I hate you with more… passion."

"You are an idiot."

He automatically yanked my body forward and I hit his with a huff and couldn't hold the squeal that slipped past my lips when he unexpectedly shoved my head between his inner arms and did some type of uncomfortable head lock on me with my right leg bent in the air.

"Let go of me you brute!" I screamed, but it came out more like a weak puff of air considering my body was being twisted in a way it shouldn't be twisted in. "I missed so leg go!" I shouted as I dropped my weight and hit the ground with him on me and we both wrestled on the ground.

"Ugh!" he huffed when I spiked us around and his big head hit the ground. "Why are you so-"

"What's going on here?" A quirky voice demands. We wiped our heads to the source to see the vice principle standing at the door. She probably heard our yelling. I growled silently. I didn't want to get suspended because of this idiot. I needed a plan quick. My gaze turned to Sonic who seemed petrified at the act of being caught which confused me since it's not like we're getting killed. I kissed his neck and felt his breathe hitch. "You two know the rules of this school and that is prohibited."

I smiled to myself and dusted myself off as Sonic did the same and we stood and we faced Ms. Bunnie.

"I was actually not-" Sonic began with raised hands until I interrupted him.

"Neither of us wanted to break them but we couldn't help it, you know? We're so attracted to each other we couldn't resist." I say, pulling the dumbfounded Sonic against me, "But also with the heat of the age well, it doesn't help us much."

"I understand but," she hesitates as she pulls us apart and turns to Sonic," You think the same?" she questions from what I assume is his lack of speech.

Again like before I interrupt before he can continue. "Oh, Ms. Bunnie, I find it funny you ask that to a male." I laughed out with crossed arms. "His devices are in game."

"Young lady!"

"What? If you want I can say it with different words but I don't think you'll like that." I shrug.

"No, no, no need for that." She says panicked. "Those desires I understand but you should distract them with other things like exercise. I don't know. Something proactive like studying, reading." She says with a hand on her forehead. "Right this moment, detention for the both of you. Go on now.

"Aye, aye, ma'am!" I say with a salutation as Sonic and I walk away from her. I can't help but smile to myself. No phone calls home simply because I put her in an awkward situation. Good thing idiot here played along. As a sign of my gratitude I grab his butt. I see his eyes widen from the corner of my eyes and I smile wider and feel him stiffen. He glares over to my smiling form and does the unexpected. He does the same and I have the same reaction while he grins wickedly.

"On second thought, I'll escort you two before temptations arise again!" Ms. Bunnie calls out.

x.X.x

The tapping of Sonic's foot was beginning to aggravate me by how it hadn't stopped ever since we were escorted here for the rest of lunch and sent here five minutes before school had ended as torture since we hadn't had detention for long.

I mean, I understand his impatience of wanting to leave on time but he was acting real fidgety and nervous for no reason. He should have been happy we weren't punished more and should be a man and live with his actions. I would have told him to stop but with the teacher sitting on his computer in front of us that would be too risky especially since we were the only ones here because everyone else had detention during lunch.

Instead I thought up with a simpler plan. I smacked him on the head with a crumbled piece of paper since he was sitting a few seats ahead of me. It worked. He immediately stopped but flashed a glare at me and as immature as I was I struck my tongue out at him and scrunched up my nose and flipped him off.

He rolled his eyes and looked away but then the tapping began soon again.

I couldn't help tugging at my quills at that action so I threw another piece of paper at him and signaled him to stop with hand motions. He caught what I was trying to tell him and snickered and kept doing it even more and my knuckles clenched.

I quickly closed my binder and took out an expo marker and wrote on it and showed it to Sonic.

Amy: Please stop it!

He tilted his head as he read and took out a binder and expo marker and did the same.

Sonic: Why should I?

Amy: Come on Sonikku? ?

I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips when I saw his eyes widen at that name. As much as I hated him I had to admit that I did enjoy setting him off the edge. My giggle was soon converted into a huff when a crumbled piece of paper hit me on the face.

He grinned at me and I glared.

With a horrible coronation I ripped a piece of paper and crumbled it and threw it with all my force at Sonic but I felt panic instantly when I heard a yelp in return. Why? Well because it hit the teacher instead while he was drinking his cup of coffee making it spill all over himself.

Without another word but squeals he ran out of the room leaving us wide eyed at what was going to happen.

Sonic and I turned to each other and stared stunned then with perfect timing our lips quivered and we erupted into laughter and banged on the desks to suppress it. I was the first to relax faster and my gaze drifted toward Sonic who continued on laughing and pointing on me. Normally I would have continued laughing at myself but it wasn't that funny in my opinion. I had my laugh but I couldn't help the smile that formed itself on my lips as I watched Sonic laugh as if he releasing a laugh he hadn't been able to in a long time.

Acting boyish like that actually made him seem kind of… cute.

"What are you staring at?" I blinked back my sense to see him staring back at him strictly with a glare.

He killed it.

"Nothing." I say and shake my head. "Just, you look better smiling."

Sonic seemed taken aback by my reply as he gazed at me quizzically and I saw he couldn't hold back the smile that was threatening to show but it was only for a second before he replaced it with a frown and shook his head picked up his things and began walking out. He was going to ditch although it was me who was in trouble.

I watched him walk to the door with a dumbfounded stare.

He paused. "What are you waiting for? Let's go before the teacher comes back."

"What?" I breathed as I gazed at his back. He sight and walked out. "Alright I'm coming!" I called out running after him.

I had finally caught up with him as we walked down the empty hallway together and I couldn't help but bite my lip with uncertainty. Why had he called me to come? Why did I accept to come along? Why the sudden change?

I glanced over at his strict face as we walked in silence and wondered about this boy.

"Stop staring at me." He growled, turning to me. "you're not my type."

"You are so cocky." I didn't care if I was his type or not but something about him seemed off to me. "So, what happened to Mr. Laughable back there?

He scoffed. "I don't have time for that."

I lowered my gaze at him, "No. I mean why do you hold that feeling back like it's prohibited?"

"Fun is pointless. Nothing beneficial comes out with that." He explained coldly.

With a tilted head I say, "That's not true. Fun is what everyone needs in their life."

"Life isn't that easy," he stated, shaking his head.

"You are so negative. You can change your perspective with a need of change. The thing is just if you embrace life with open arms." I explained. "I mean, look at me. As much as you and everyone in this hell hole throw at me, I'm still smiling."

Sonic looked over at my smiling form and smiled faintly. "Yeah, I can see that but you have to admit you're kinda crazy, innocent and immature but I have to admit it's kind of contagious."

I smiled at that but frowned when I noticed we had reached through and out of school and a familiar squeal ran into me. "Amy!" I looked down to see Mina's green eyes beaming at me and frowned slightly.

"Oh, hey Mina." I greeted uneasily.

"Bye." Sonic same lamely and walked down the steps and hurriedly farther away from me.

I waved off and was going to reply back but he wouldn't have heard me and I couldn't help but frown. We were actually getting along for once.

"Was Sonic really talking to you?" Mina asked, jumping with joy.

"Yeah, so what?" I wondered with a shrug still looking where he had gone.

"He doesn't talk to ANYONE in school unless it's something small but it looked like you two were actually having a conversation. What's going on? Do you like him?" she asked with a mad look.

"You're funny." I laughed and placed my hands on her shoulders and turned to her. "I just asked him something, that's it."

Mina shook her head seemingly stunned and threw her hands in the air. "That's the thing, Sonic doesn't even take the time to talk to others in school because we're not to his level or as cool as his collage friends so him actually taking the time to talk to you is legendary just like what you did at Rouge's party! You have got to introduce us, pretty please?" she asked.

"Uh, sure." I replied dryly, "And no offence but why are you still in school?" Mina smiled widely and took a step back and twirled around when I noticed her outfit. "Oh. I didn't know you were in the schools band."

"Yup, I am!" she explained proudly. "We had to stay after school to practice for a rally this weekend. You should come!"

I arranged by backpack and shrugged. "I'll think about it."

A honk caught our attention and we turned to noise to see a car waiting up front. Mina smiled and turned to me. "Well that's my ride, think about it and see you tomorrow!" she says and gives me a hug before running off with a wave and driving away with whoever came to pick her up.

I waved away but my thoughts were clouded by what Mina had said about Sonic. If Sonic didn't talk to anyone, why did he take the time to talk to me of all people? And what if Mina hadn't come along? I mean there had to be a reason why he called me along, right?

Maybe I'm over thinking this or maybe I'm not. Either way I want to unravel this guy. He's hiding something and I want to know what. Maybe there's something more to him.


So, I know I haven't uploaded in a while but I'm hoping by tomorrow to have a new chapter up for this story since it REALLY needs updating but just a little heads up on this is that this isn't really going to be a BIG high school drama themed story. It's more like my other stor [Which will be updated soon ;) ] it's more of a heartfelt story about life or at least that's what I'm going for… but yup it's more like that which you all will soon find out why in the next few chapters! And for those who are still reading this then thank you so much!
