A/N: Hey guys! Sorry if there were some mistakes in the last chapter. Sorry if it's taken me a while to update but my internet has been down. I have a Twitter now too :D! Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Texting, Texting, and more Texting!
Amy opened the front door to her house and dumped her school bag on the stairs; it was about seven o'clock. She walked into the kitchen, where she noticed a note addressed to her lay on the kitchen counter.
Amy,
I'm in my study until I go to bed. Your dinner is in the fridge, when you're done please wash up. I hope you had a good first day. Make sure you don't go to bed too late.
Mum.
Amy sighed as she put the note back down and walked over to the fridge. Inside was a plate with tinfoil over the top, underneath was swirly pasta, with tuna and pesto. Amy took it out of the fridge and sat at the table, where a placement of cutlery was already set out for her. She prodded the food a bit with her fork before she slowly began eating it. She had made so many new friends, and they all seamed nice. Little did Amy know that she would make one more friend the very next day.
When Amy finished, she did as the note instructed and washed up, then retrieved her school bag from the bottom of the stair case. She swung it over her shoulder and made her way up to her room, where she threw the bag on the floor, and tiredly collapsed on her bed, resting for a few minutes. Eventually Amy got up and went to get into her pyjamas and brush her teeth. When she was finished in the bathroom she came out and sat on her bed where her phone lay, flashing with an unread message. Amy had gotten all her new friends' numbers, and looked to see it was from Sonic.
Hey Amy, remember me?
How could I forget? Lol :P
Glad to hear ;)
Is there a reason that you texted?
Does there have to be?
:/ I guess not…
So what up?
Nothing much :) what about you?
Just on Facebook, why don't you come on?
Sure! But let me get my laptop first…
Kk :D
Amy put her phone down and went to get her laptop. It was pink with white flower patterns. She grabbed it and went back and sat down on her bed, logging onto Facebook to check her profile. Her profile picture was of her sitting on the bottom step of her house, posing but not looking at the camera. She was wearing a knee length light pink dress, with a black cover up. Amy looked at her notifications and saw Sonic had posted something.
Sonic the Hedgehog has commented on your wall: Nice Facebook Amy :D thanks for adding me ;)
Sonic had gotten a hold of her phone during the Costa outing and had sent himself a friend request from her profile, which was logged on from her phone. Amy giggled as she scanned her Facebook some more and saw that she had five friend requests. Amy clicked on the icon and saw that they were from Silver, Blaze, Rouge, Knuckles, and Espio. She pressed accept for all of them and opened a chat box with Sonic.
I logged onto Facebook, happy?
Yes, thanks for asking ;)
No problem :)
So, you added Knuckles and Rouge?
Yeah?
K…
What's so wrong with that? You've added them?
Yeah, ok, anyway I brb
Ok…
Amy looked at Sonic's wall and then clicked on friends. He was friends with a bunch of people Amy didn't know, or hadn't met yet. She scrolled down to 'Family' and saw that he had a brother and a sister. She was going to look at their walls but Sonic's chat had a small red one on the top, indicating he was back and had sent another message.
Ok, ok I'm back, your sorrow is over
Shame because the sorrow was never there xD
Oh, now you've put a pain in my heart :(
Nice acting, can you be normal now?
I guess ;)
Thanks lol
No trouble at all
I better go; I couldn't get up this morning.
Lol, that's very understandable
Well, see you tomorrow :)
Ok bye
Amy logged off Facebook and closed her laptop. She went and put it back on her desk, got into bed, turned off the bed side light and pulled the warm covers over her. She rested her head against her pillow, and slowly closed her eyes, blissfully unaware of a scene that was happening elsewhere not far from her…
-XxX-
Rouge was sitting on a brick wall, her legs crossed over each other. She was wearing a purple tank top, with a black leather jacket over the top. Her outfit was completed beige ankle boots over black skinny jeans, and her white hair tied up in a neat high ponytail. Knuckles stepped forward. He was looking up at Rouge, because unlike Rouge, Knuckles didn't like sitting on walls. He felt too open and exposed sitting up there; he beckoned for her to come down but she shook her head.
"If you want to talk to me then come up," Rouge sniggered, patting the peace of wall next to her.
Knuckles rolled his eyes, before he started to climb the brick wall. When he was at the end of the wall, he dug his fists into the wall and did a front flip onto the top, where he ended up sitting next to Rouge, who scowled at him and looked away.
"Come on Rouge," he teased, "You know that I did better than you."
"Ok, the only reason that you got your butt up here is because I told you to!" she barked at him.
Knuckles shrugged and leaned back on the wall. Rouge looked back at him and gave a wicked smile. She moved her hand along the wall then smirked.
"Hey Knuckles," she said flirtatiously, "I have a little present for you."
She puckered her lips and Knuckles expression lightened and he moved his head closer to Rouge's. Rouge grinned and just as he was about to kiss her she pushed him of the wall. Knuckles gave a manly scream as he fell off and landed flat on his back. Rouge flicked a tuff of her out of her eyes, as she grinned with pleasure.
"Oh, you sly bat!" Knuckles roared up.
Rouge got a nail file from her pocket and started to file her beautiful, but sharp nails, ignoring him. Knuckles grunted before he started to climb the wall again.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Rouge warned, still not taking eyes of off her nails that she was filing.
"Why not?" Knuckles asked jumping off the wall and crossing his arms.
Rouge was still looking at her nails, and then turned to look down at the red echidna at the bottom of the wall.
"Because of him!" she said pointing to black hedgehog walking slowly towards them.
The duo were approached by a dark figure wearing dark blue jeans and a black and red hoodie. He had red stripes in his quills and his eyes were blood red. Knuckles stepped back, letting the hedgehog walk in front of him. The hedgehog then looked up to the wall and chuckled. He started to climb the wall and in a blink of an eye he was up it and sitting a meter away from Rouge.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Knuckles groaned digging his knuckles into the brick wall as he hoisted himself up.
He climbed the wall in seven seconds exactly, whereas Rouge and Shadow had done it in one. When Knuckles got to the top, he did a front flip and was sitting next to Rouge again.
"Hey Rouge," he winked, "miss me?"
"Not in this life," Rouge remarked.
"Come on," Knuckles smirked, "you know you missed me."
"Say all you want," Rouge began, "but don't forget that I was the one that pushed you off this wall."
"Oh yeah well-" Knuckles was cut off by the black hedgehog coughing loudly.
Both vampires stopped and looked at the hedgehog, who had his hands in his hoodie pockets in a patient gesture. Rouge looked at Knuckles who shook his head and shrugged.
"Thank you for finally stopping your arguing," the hedgehog spoke in a pleased tone.
"What do you want Shadow?" Rouge asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"Does there need to be a reason?" Shadow responded out of curiosity.
"When you're the lord of our Vampire Clan," Rouge answered cracking her fingers, "then yes."
"You know me too well Rouge," Shadow chuckled, but Rouge just scowled.
"As you both know, tomorrow is the pep-rally," Shadow began, both Knuckles and Rouge nodded, "and I need you two to keep a close eye on Amy."
"Why can't you do it?" Rouge questioned, annoyed.
"Ahh," Shadow said breathing slowly and calmly, "that I cannot tell, but if you play your cards right, and do your job, maybe I will."
Rouge rolled her eyes, and Knuckles slowly nodded.
"Maybe I don't want to do it," Rouge spoke up, "Maybe I don't want to stare at a pink hedgehog all day."
Shadow stood up on the brick wall and slowly walked over to Rouge. Knuckle knew what was coming, so he crossed his arms over his chest and fell backwards. He then dug his knuckles into the wall and moved along it so that he was now where Shadow had once stood. Shadow looked coldly into Rouge's scowling aqua blue eyes.
"You never did like it when your mother turned you, did you?" Shadow examined, still looking at Rouge, who had her arms crossed and was looking at her knees.
Knuckles gulped loudly and rested his arms on his knees. Shadow looked at him, then back to Rouge.
"But do not forget," Shadow prompted pointing a finger at Rouge, "You are a creature of the night! Do not forget where your loyalties lie."
Rouge looked at Shadow's finger, then up into in blood red eyes. She nodded slowly then stood up and nodded at Knuckles. Then she outstretched her wings and looked at Shadow, who gestured for her to fly. Rouge stood on the edge of the wall and pushed off; she flew away into the night, Knuckles and Shadow staring after her.
"Where is she going?" Knuckles asked standing up, and walking next to Shadow.
"Home," Shadow said shortly, "Like we should be, let's go."
He and Knuckles both jumped off the wall. Shadow instantly began to run, but Knuckles looked back up at the wall one more time. He then began to run and hit vampire running speed a few seconds after. They were all going home, ready to mentally prepare for the next school day.
-XxX-
Amy's eyes popped open as her alarm clock beeped. She wacked it with her left hand, and she rolled onto her back. Johann walked into her room and smiled. Amy gave a tired groan and collapsed even further into her sheets.
"Wake up darling," her mother encouraged, shaking Amy's shoulder.
Amy hit her mum's hand and looked up. Her pink hair was scruffy and her eyes were still half asleep.
"I'll be downstairs," Johann said, knowing her daughter was properly awake, before leaving and slowly closing the door to Amy's room behind her.
Amy outstretched her arms and sighed, just phone beeped with a text. Amy leaned over to her bed side table to get it.
"Who would text me at this time in the morning?" Amy yawned as she opened the message.
The message, as Amy had guessed, was from Sonic. She scratched her head as she read it.
Rise and shine :D
Amy rubbed her eyes, the bright light from the phone's screen not what she wanted to face first thing in the morning, and gradually texted a reply.
Why do you text people at this time in the morning?
I don't! Just you ;) lol
Well, at the moment, I'm not really in the mood
You don't have to be :)
I'm leaving now
:o WHAT? Why?
Because I need to go get changed
Fair enough
Glad you understand -.-
Amy put her phone away in her school bag so she wouldn't be tempted to answer any more texts, and continued on her way into her bathroom. She brushed out her quills and left then as normal, then dashed out to get her clothes. She got a long sleeved red top, knee length white shorts, and a pair of fluffy boots that ended at her calf muscle. Amy got changed then brushed her teeth and then washed her face. When she was done she grabbed her school bag and quickly went downstairs.
"Sorry mum!" Amy called quickly as she noticed the time on the kitchen clock, "No time for breakfast!"
"I thought you'd say that," Johann grinned, handing Amy some buttered toast.
"Thanks mum, you're the best!" Amy said as she bite into her toast.
She raced out the door, just as the yellow school bus pulled in front of her house. Amy gave a sigh of relief; she hadn't missed the bus. She stepped onto the bus and looked for a place to sit. Jessica hadn't gotten on the bus yet so Amy sat in an empty seat. She was soon joined by a purple chameleon.
"Mind if I sit here?" he asked grinning.
"Sure Espio," Amy beamed.
"I appreciate it," Espio thanked Amy, winking as he put his school bag on the floor of the chair in front of him.
He pushed it under then leaned back in his bus seat. Amy laughed the turned to look outside the window. Her phone beeped with another message and Amy was soon holding her phone in her pocket.
"I bet you five bucks it's from Sonic," Amy betted.
"Oh so you're a girl who like to bet?" Espio said grinning, "Okay then, I bet you five bucks it isn't."
Amy opened the message, and sure enough, it was from Sonic! Espio leaned over Amy's shoulder, and when he saw the name he slapped himself on the forehead.
"That'll be five bucks please," Amy laughed, holding out her hand.
"How did you know that it would be Sonic?" Espio asked, handing Amy the five bucks she deserved.
"Just a lucky guess," Amy giggled shrugging her shoulders, "he's been texting me a lot."
Espio raised his eyes brows, and Amy gave him a playful shove. Amy looked down at her phone and texted Sonic back.
You just can't stop texting me?
Oh so you're replying now?
Hey! You texted me first thing in the morning!
Doesn't matter
I was half asleep!
;) didn't mean I couldn't text you
You can be so annoying sometimes!
Awww I'm so flattered :D
Lol I gtg bus is stopping
See you soon :)
Amy put her phone in her pocket and got off the bus. Espio followed her. Another school day, only today was a different day. Being the new kid, Amy didn't know today was the annual 'Welcome Back' pep-rally.
