I awoke the next morning after a beautiful rest. I fell asleep just fine last night, defying the usual insomnia.
I got up and out of bed, pulling on a pair of jeans. After the jeans were on and properly buttoned and zipped up, I threw on a white and black striped shirt. I brushed my bangs to one side and put on a white beanie afterward.
I opened my topmost cabinet on my dresser and pulled out a pair of socks. I slipped them on my feet.
I continued to the washroom to get my teeth brushed. After two minutes of continuous brushing, I rinsed and spat. I continued on to putting on deodorant. After doing so, I grabbed my bag, slipped on a pair of shoes, and left the house.
The weather was really nice out this morning, mocking how I usually felt. I walked around a corner and knocked on Shadow's door. He lived alone in an apartment in the residential 'ghetto' part of Station Square.
He opened his door and moved aside to let me in. I courteously took the offer, slipping off my shoes and sitting myself at the couch.
"Hey." Shadow said, half awake.
"Hi," I said back, reaching into my pocket for a cigarette. When I noticed that I had no more left, I remembered what Amy did. "Got any cigs?"
Shadow went and opened a cabinet on one of his shelves. He threw me a half empty pack of Belmont's. I smiled. Those were my favorite.
I took one out and lit it, handing Shadow the half empty pack back. He denied the request. I shot him a 'why won't you take your cigarettes?' look.
"Take 'em," Shadow started, adding a yawn, "I got a new pack yesterday."
I smiled and jammed the pack into my pocket. "Where were you yesterday? I mean, after lunch, you were just gone."
"I went over to Skye's place." Shadow yelled from his room, which was only a few steps away, "She's expecting her baby in two months."
I smiled. "That's cool. Thought up of any names yet?"
"Yeah," Shadow started, "Miles."
I laughed at hearing Shadow's lame joke. Shadow let out a chuckle as well. He came out of his room with a black muscle shirt on and grey pants. He also had a pair of hobo gloves on.
"Want to go now?"
I nodded and extinguished my cigarette in the nearest ash tray. I grabbed my shoes and slipped them on, following Shadow out the door.

"Hey, Shadow?" I started. Shadow and I were walking through the city park. We always walked this way to school.
"Hmm?" Shadow mumbled, a cigarette lingering from his lips.
"I was hanging out with Amy last night." I said. My voice was pretty quiet and unclear.
"Cool," Shadow said. A whole cloud of smoke flooded out of his mouth as he spoke. "Do any of the dirty?"
I chuckled. "No, no dirty stuff."
"Oh." Shadow said.
Things went quiet. It was a very awkward silence, unlike the silence Shadow and I were usually in.
"Well," I started, getting Shadow's attention again, "She saw my lyrics and drawings. She really liked them."
"Oh." Shadow said again.
"And before she left, she planted a kiss on my lips." I said.
"Cool." Shadow cooed. I knew that there was definitely something on Shadow's mind. Even he wasn't this quiet. I shrugged. Maybe he was just worried about being a father. He was only in grade eleven, for god's sake.

I was sitting in the back of family studies class. I wasn't really paying any attention though, there were only ten minutes until the bell rang and we would be out for lunch. And, to make me even more distracted, Amy's scent was intoxicating me as she was only sitting three seats away from me.
The teacher finally ended the day's lesson. I leaned back in my chair and placed my hands behind my head. I kicked my feat on top of the desk and closed my eyes.
I started drifting off into sleep. That is, until…
"Hey."
I opened one eye and noticed that Amy had moved into the seat beside me. I gave her a small grin.
"Hi." I said. I mentally laughed at her. She was wearing a red polo and short shorts. How slutty can one get?
"What's up?" She asked.
"Talking to you." I said. I felt smart.
"How do you feel, as you talk to me?" Amy giggled.
"I feel incredibly turned on by your sexiness." I said, my words dripping with sarcasm. I smirked.
Amy laughed, and I smiled. I loved her laugh.
"Let's go," I said, grabbing Amy's hand. I started dragging her to the door.
"But, class isn't over!" Amy said a bit too late. I had already closed the door behind her and we started running for the exit.
Amy laughed as we walked out the main doors to the school. I didn't see what was so funny about ditching class.
"What's so funny?" I asked as we sat down at the top most bleacher. "All we were doing was running out of the school."
"I don't know." Amy answered, letting out a blush, "I just felt like laughing."
I grunted, rolling my eyes. She saw this. "You know, it wouldn't do you any bad to laugh a bit more, too."
"Har Har." I said, "Funny."
I tackled her to the bleacher. She was lying down underneath me and was laughing.
"Hi." I said.
"Hello there." Amy smiled.
I leaned in and kissed her lips hungrily. She gave no opposition and kissed me back. We broke the kiss and she held on to my arm.
"Tails," Amy said, "You told me to ask again. Now, what is it with those wristbands?"
I sighed as I got up off of her. I sat on the bleacher.
"Amy," I started, pulling off my wristbands, "Look."
I reveled to Amy that there were a series of deep scarlet cuts up and across my wrists. Amy gasped and held tightly on to my wrist.
"Why?" She asked. Her eyes were filling up with tears.
"Because," I started, lifting her chin so she would look me in the eye, "When I lost you, all I had was my parents. But when my parents died, I didn't know where to turn."
My own eyes started filling with tears. "I tried smoking at first. It felt good, but when the effects started to fade…"
I trailed off. Amy looked me in the eye.
"You resorted to cutting?"
"Exactly." I said. "I'm sorry, Ames."
Amy hugged me tightly. "You could have killed yourself! I can't believe you!"
I laughed. "Come on, Ames. I said I was sorry."
Amy playfully hit me in the arm. "Just don't do it again, okay?"
I looked at her and smiled. "I promise."
She kissed me and I kissed her back. She went a bit deeper in the kiss and slipped her tongue into my mouth. I blushed, but continued to make out with her.
"Let me ask you," I started one we broke the kiss, "Which one of us are the guy?"
Amy laughed and ran off, me chasing after her. I smiled. Confessions come a long way.
There's your chapter. You can see that Tails is opening up a bit to Amy, but don't worry. He still hates the rest of the world. Next chapter will introduce one of the main problems of the stories. Don't worry though. You will still have a while to guess what it might be. ;)
Anyway, here's the review answers!
