Oh yeah. (: Another Chappie. After so long, too. I've just been very busy, but I will start trying to write more. :D Enjoy!
Amy tossed and turned trying to fall asleep. No matter how hard she tried it just wasn't going to work out for her. She threw the covers aside and peered at her alarm clock through the darkness. In an hour she would have to be getting ready for school, that is if she felt like going. She turned on the light and crept quietly to the living room where she collapsed on the couch and pulled out her phone. She speed-dialed her mother's number.
"Hullo," the voice on the other line said concernedly. "What's wrong, hunny?"
"Hey, mom. I'm not feeling well. I took my temperature and it was higher than normal," she lied hoping her mom would buy her ploy.
"Aims, do you think you need to see the doctor?"
"No, I should be fine. I think it's just a bad cough," she did her best fake cough and crossed her fingers. She hadn't stayed home from school in awhile and she was hoping that her mother would agree that she should stay home.
"Okay, you best stay home. Drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest. I will call you later and see how you are doing." They said goodbye and her mother's voice faded away into nothingness. She laid down on the couch and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

Sonic waited in the school parking lot for Amy, a routine they had started once they both had cars. He was starting to worry. Where in the hell was she? She hadn't called. Did her car break down? He doubted it, her car was practically brand-new despite it being pre-owned, it had always been in great condition. He heard the first bell ring in the distance and he knew he could not wait any longer for her. Silently he prayed she was okay and rushed to his first class, prepared to face Tails.
The art room had to be the coolest classroom he had ever been in. The walls were splattered painted in an array of pastel colors and colorful easels were in a circle in the center of the room. Student made drawings, paintings, and photographs cluttered the two bulletin boards which resided in the back of the classroom. He and Tails both had first period art and they had never had assigned seats. Sonic darted in the classroom as fast as he could (which is pretty fast). Very few people were actually there, but Tails happened to be one of them. Sonic took his normal seat, hoping Tails wouldn't do the same. His hoping failed him though, because Tails sat in his usual seat right beside him. An awkward silence occurred between them while excited chattered filled the room as more students arrived.
It seemed like forever until everyone had taken their seats, but finally they were ready to begin. A short, middle-aged, midnight blue hedgehog called the class to attention. "Today class we will be painting. The painting has to depict a scene and will be due on Friday. That gives you a whole week to plan, sketch, and paint your scene. As always all artwork must be original and is graded upon creativity. If you have any questions or comments please raise your hand, otherwise you may talk to your neighboring peers quietly. Thank you and you may begin," he said and sat as his own easel and began to sketch his own scene. He found his comfort in art and so did Tails.
Tails was pencil sketching his scene. He started to draw a female hedgehog with wings. He got lost in his sketch and forgot that Sonic was right beside him. He wrote "My Angel" in perfect cursive above her. He finished up the fine details and sat back admiring his work wondering what the rest of the scene should be. He felt Sonic's eyes peering over at his sketch.
"Is that suppose to Amy," Sonic said straight out.
"No, why would it be Amy," Tails replied lying through his teeth. She told him, didn't she? No, she could not have. Or did she? Maybe...Most likely...He hoped Sonic didn't know. He felt guilty enough as it was. Although he did not regret kissing her. He remembered the brief kiss fondly. Sonic doesn't know. Sonic does know. He rolled the idea back in forth in his mind. Not knowing for sure which was the right answer.
"You don't have to lie, Tails. I know what happened and I think it so nice that you decided that you could amuse yourself by kissing my girlfriend. You do know that we're going out right? Or did that thought happen not to cross your mind?" Sarcasm dripped off Sonic's every word and it made Tail's heart sink.
"I didn't mean too, it was a mist-" Tail's words were abruptly cut off by Sonic.
"I don't think we can be friends anymore, Tails. You've done some pretty crazy things in your life, but dammit Tails you kissed my girlfriend and your best friend against her will. How could you do that to her?"
"I...I..." Words had left Tails all together. What was there left to say? He had just lost his two best friends. Now he regretted kissing her, it wasn't worth it. One kiss, wasn't worth all this. He took his canvas off his easel and threw it away. Then walked right out of the classroom minutes before the dismissal bell rang to go to second period. He tried not cry as he made his way through the halls. At least he could cry when he got home. He would call his dad, not knowing what to tell him to convince he needed to be picked up. Confused and alone he walked in the empty hallways trying to remain expressionless when the occasional person passed by. He made his way outside and the hope of a beautiful spring day promised by the weatherman faded away. The air was chilly and the sun was hidden behind clouds. Tails secretly wished he could hide too.
