Well...here it is, sorry about the end of the last chapter, when I started writing this story I was in 7th grade so I've improved my writing skills a lot since then so please don't knock me for what happened earlier in the story...
Sonic: *arms crossed* Just get on with it!
Me: Whatever, I'm sick of arguing with you, so, here it is!
Sonic: Don't forget the disclaimer...
Me: Oh yeah! I don't own Sonic and friends, even though I wish I did...ENJOY!
Chapter 3
Amy and I walked to P.E. holding hands but there was an awkward silence between us. "See ya Ames," I said walking the boys locker room in a daze.
"Hey Sonic, what's up?" Tails asked me happily. "Hello? Mobius to Sonic!" he said when I didn't respond.
"Huh? Oh, sorry," I said still thinking about Amy. "Not much, how 'bout you?" I asked trying to change the subject from me to him.
"You know that new girl Cosmo? She won't talk to me," the orange and white kitsune said taking the bait.
"Have you tried talking to her?" I asked, knowing Tails he probably hadn't he had a problem with talking to girls other than Amy.
"No…" he said looking down at his feet, I knew it. "But I was gonna in fourth period," he said quickly looking up.
"You'd better or she'll be gone before you know it…" I said thinking about when Amy left.
"So…on another note, why do you seem so…distant?" he asked searching for the right words. "Did something happen between you and Amy that I should know about?" he asked making me blush.
"N-no, not really, why?" I asked suddenly more alert.
"Just wondering, but if nothing happened then why are you so jumpy and defensive all of a sudden?" he asked curiously.
"I'm not jumpy or defensive!" I said trying to get him off my back.
"C'mon man, you know you can tell me!" Tails said crossing his arms impatiently, he clearly wasn't going to give up.
"Okay," I said, my resolve breaking, "we almost kissed, almost," I said telling him what he probably wanted to know most.
"Almost?" he asked, wanting more details than I was willing to give him, all of his questions were starting to get on my nerves.
"The bell rang before we kissed, there, ya happy?!" I snapped at him. "And don't ask for more 'cause I'm not saying anything else!" I said concluding the discussion and heading towards the door. "Hey Coach," I muttered to Coach Pickett as I passed him, a little annoyance still in my voice.
"What's wrong Champ?" he asked noticing something was off about my usually cocky attitude.
"Uh…it's just…"I tried to come up with an excuse. I sighed in defeat. "My friend won't leave me alone about this girl and neither will anyone else," I said quickly.
"What girl?" he asked, he clearly wasn't picking up on the fact that I didn't want to talk about it.
"She's new here but I've known her since we were kids," I said.
"What's her name?" he asked, he obviously wanted to know all about Amy, well, all I was willing to tell him about her anyway... It seemed almost like he thought I was in love with her or something, that's how interested he was in learning about her.
"Amelia Rose, but she goes by Amy," I told him.
"She must really mean a lot to ya if you still care about her after all this time, huh?" he said, it was clear now that he thought I loved her.
"She's one of my best friends so I suppose you could say that but there's nothing special between us," I said. Heck, I'm practically a piece of crap compared to her, she probably doesn't think very much of me anymore… I thought to myself.
"She has P.E. this period doesn't she?" he asked looking at the full class roll-sheet.
"Yes sir, I walked her to class," I said in reply.
"Okay," he said, "now, what do you want to do in class today?" he asked, I was his favorite so I always chose what we did.
"Hmm…" I thought rubbing my nose with my index finger. 'Ames loves volleyball, choose that,' I thought to myself. "Dodge ball," I said in spite of myself.
"Okay!" he said writing it down as if he would forget. "Let's get out there so we can take roll!" he said blowing his whistle that signaled everyone to go out into the gym. "Roll call!" he shouted pulling out the boys' roll-sheet. "Shadow!"
No reply.
"Shadow?"
No reply.
"SHADOW!"
"Here," a depressed looking black and red hedgehog said in reply.
"Tails!"
"Here!"
I blocked out the rest of roll call as a certain pink hedgehog walked out of the girls locker room. I waved at Amy and said, "Hey Ames!"
"Hey…" she said as she trudged over to her spot and waved halfheartedly.
"No talking!" the female coach said.
"What's wrong?" I mouthed, she looked miserable considering that she sat next to Cream.
"Sally…" she replied silently as she jabbed her thumb in the direction behind her where a squirrel in a skimpy version of our gym clothes, a green T-shirt which she made sure hugged her curves tightly and some gray booty shorts.
"What did she say to you?" I asked quietly. I noticed that everyone except the coaches was watching our silent conversation and that Sally was ogling over me along with every other girl besides Amy and Cream.
"I'll tell you later," she mouthed noticing that the coaches were now paying just as much attention as everyone else, I nodded in reply.
"Okay class! Today we're playing dodge ball!" Coach Pickett yelled as most everyone groaned, including Amy. "The captains will be Sonic and Shadow!" he said, he knew we had a rivalry. "Pick two at a time!" he yelled as we took our spots at opposite ends of the gym. "Sonic, you pick first!" he said.
"Tails and…" I said pretending to think, "Ames?" she looked up, "Get over here!" I said flashing my heart-melting grin that could get me whatever I wanted.
"No problem!" she said standing up and jogging over and standing next to me. I saw Shadow look at me with pure hate and jealousy.
"Okay Tails, you take over from here, anyone good except Sally, I don't care if she's the best player in the school district, I don't want her near me!" I told him.
"You got it!" he said turning back to the field of players.
"Sally's good at dodge ball?" Amy said in a surprised tone.
"Yeah, and that's pretty much it," I replied looking over to see her walking over to Shadow's side with a pout on her face.
"You're right about that!" she said.
"So, what'd she say to you?" I asked glancing toward a squirrel that was staring at me like a was the last glass of water in the world, and so was every other girl except Amy… again…
"Oh it was nothing, nothing majorly important anyway…" she said looking down.
"Amy," I said grabbing her chin to make her look at me, "anything that makes you this miserable is important so please tell me," I begged with a stern gaze.
"Really Sonic, it was nothing…" she said forcing a smile.
"Now, Miss Rose," I said letting go of her chin and making her giggle, "am I going to have to take desperate measures?" I finished. By now the dodge balls were flying and I knew the only person that would throw one at me was Shadow.
"That depends what they are." she replied with a sly grin.
"You'll just have to wait and find out," I said, I noticed that Sally was watching our whole exchange and was fuming.
"So tell me if I have this right, if I don't tell you what Sally said, then you'll take some kind of desperate measures?" she asked.
"Yep, and I'm not telling you what they are either!" I specified.
"Okay then, I'm not going to tell you what she said, it wasn't even that serious or important anyway."
"It was important enough to make you miserable, and now we're having a pointless argument so it must matter," I argued.
"I'm not telling you," she stated crossing her arms stubbornly.
"Oh yeah? Give me one good reason why you shouldn't!" I challenged with an eyebrow raised.
"Because I don't want to, now you give me one good reason that I should," she shot back.
"Because you said you'd tell me if she said anything to you," I said seriously.
"What she said shouldn't even count, and besides, it was more of a snide comment…" she said turning her back to me.
"Okay, you've forced me to this…" I warned shaking my head. "This is your last chance to tell me," I coaxed.
"Nope, no cheese Hedgehog, you'll just ha-" she was cut off by her squeals and giggles since I was tickling her. "Stop!" she squealed, on account of the dodge ball game going on no one noticed.
"Not until you tell me!" I said tickling her more.
"Okay, okay! I give, I'll tell you!" she said about to collapse from lack of air.
"So…what'd she say?" I asked after she caught her breath.
"Um…" she said looking down at her feet. "She said that…she said that I'm not cool enough to know you or hang out with you…and that I'd never be half as pretty as her…" she said, I knew she was hiding something.
"What else, did she say Ames, I know you're hiding something from me," I said.
"She um…" she said looking away blushing, "she said that I'm not good enough for you…" she finished looking down. "But I told her it's not like we were dating anyway so…" she trailed off.
"Well she's right about more than half of that," I told her pulling her chin up with my finger so I could look her in the eyes. She looked hurt by what I had said. "Ames, you're not half as pretty as her, nor will you ever be, you are 10 times as pretty as her and always will be," I said looking straight at her. "And you're not good enough for me, you're too good for me," I finished. "And as for the coolness, you are cool enough to know me," I said, she was blushing like crazy and so was I. We were pulled away from our little moment when Shadow threw a ball straight at me and Tails jumped in front of me to block it. Amy screamed. "Thanks Tails I owe ya one!" I said standing in front of Amy and grabbing a ball.
"Get your head in the game Faker!" Shadow called over the sounds of the game around us.
"You got it! But you're gonna wish I wasn't paying attention!" I replied chucking my ball at him. "Ames stay behind me," I whispered. I knew Shadow hated me but I never thought he'd go so far as to risk hitting Amy.
"Okay," she said staying in her spot.
"Now, you ready for me to kick your butt again Shadow?!" I called to him.
"Yeah right! As if I'd allow myself to lose to a faker more than once!" he said aiming his ball. Pretty soon it was just me, him and Amy left, plus a squirrel I hadn't noticed.
"Ready to lose Shadow?" I called to my rival.
"As if! You're goin' down Faker!" he called back.
"Go ahead and try to get me out!" I challenged, the second I said that Shadow threw the ball as hard as he could. "And, out!" I said catching the ball easily. " I win again!" I taunted still not noticing the squirrel on the other side of the court.
"Not so fast Faker!" he said pointing to Sally. "You've still gotta get Sally out!" he said sitting against the wall.
"Sonic, let me handle her, I've got a score to settle," she said grabbing a ball.
"You sure? She's really good," I said stepping out of her way.
"So am I, when I wanna be anyway," she said. "Now," she whispered, "how good is she at catching?" she asked.
"Terrible," I whispered back, "but why does that matter?" I asked, my eyes locked on Amy.
"Just be ready to throw when I say," she replied. "You ready to win?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
"I've been ready!" I replied grabbing a ball.
"You're going down Ames!" Sally said using my nickname for Amy.
"Only Sonic calls me Ames you stupid chipmunk!" Amy screamed back. You could see the fire in her eyes.
"I'm a squirrel you porcupine!" she screamed back.
"Ohhhhh!" the class said in response to what Sally said.
"I'm a hedgehog, but you still aren't denying that you're stupid..." she said in reply.
"Burn," I whispered in her ear.
"SHUT UP!" Sally screamed throwing her ball at Amy who easily deflected it using her own.
"Hmm…what do you think you're going to do now? Considering that you're out of ammo…?" Amy asked when Sally had run out of balls on her side. "Okay Sonic, 3...2...1..." she whispered. "Now!" we threw and the last thing I heard before the whistle was Sally's scream.
"Yes!" I said, and without thinking I hugged her, she was stunned.
