A RoughYet New Beginning Ch.10
Even though Shadow still is in the darkness of what Amy had been laughing about he goes to cook the two of them lunch. In hopes that it'll help get him back on her good side. He also believes that with the visit from Rouge and Knuckles shall help him. If only Rouge could have stayed longer maybe talked to Amy and get passed that barrier of hers and understand why she was so upset with him it'd be easier to fix things between them. So this would have to make do. He finished making everything so he decided to serve her in the living room where she sits on her computer. Sitting there focused she doesn't even look up from what she's doing. He sets the food down on the coffee table beside the computer and asks what project she is up to. She answers him even though he can hear she is still not quite ready to speak to him; "I am applying for school loans even though you think that I'm to old to get my education. Though if you were smart you'd learn that the mind Mr. Dark Hedgehog it learns new things everyday." Shadow sighs heavily,"I made us lunch if you're hungry because I know you didn't eat anything this morning". Amy looks over at the food knowing she is starving, but wishes that she could refuse temptation because she wants him to know she still angry, but the stomach gets the best of her and she grabs her plate and thanks him, " Thank you Shadow, but I hope that you know this doesn't get you back in bed with me" with a seductive tease wink of her eye and adds, "yet"!
Two weeks have gone by and nothing back from the few colleges she applied to on the island. She also hasn't gotten any good news about the loans that she applied for. Amy is starting to loose hope in achieving her dream of ever owning her own diner and being a master chief. She decided to check her emails once more and there it was an email from "Women's Ambitions" suddenly Amy decided that this was it, the letter that she'd been waiting for. She opens it and it read congratulations you qualify for attendance of our school and you may be eligible for financial aid. All she had to do was go to a site and give her financial situation. Just as she reads that all she needs to do now is to see the dean and a counselor of the school and to call in her schedule to make an appointment. Amy jumps out of her computer chair for joy and screeches with joy. Scaring Shadow making him run upstairs to make sure that she wasn't hurt. She runs into his arms and kisses him; Shadow stands there blinking confused of the kiss."I got in oh I can't believe it I got it. I should call Tails. No Rouge needs to know first. Where's the phone?" Kissing him one last time she jumps for joy running downstairs for the cord phone in the kitchen to call Rouge not wanting to waste time searching for the cordless. Shadow shrugs his shoulders, "Hmm she got in. As if that was meant to be a surprise for me. At least now she won't be moping around this house like a sad little puppy dog".
A week goes by and it is time for Amy's meeting with the dean and counselor to set up her educational plan. She's so nervous standing in her closet trying to decide on what ever to wear. She is stumped on what a college student such as herself should be wearing. Shadow reading her mind gets out of bed and picked up this nice outfit not to revealing, but elegant enough to say I'm not afraid of who I am and handed it to her, "This one should suit you nicely for this interview. It shows that you are confidant in who you are". Amy kisses him and thanks him as she does so the towel drops to the floor making Shadow wish they could go back to bed, but that this was to important to her to give him something he felt necessary. So forcing himself away from her says he'll get something to go with them so they can have a nice picnic after the meeting to celebrate that she is officially a college student and that she's going to achieve that long lost dream of hers.
Shadow has dropped Amy off at the front entrance of the campus telling her he'll be around and to take her time. She walks the steps to the brass doors. As she enters there are signs "Deans Office" "Counselors Office" "Admissions and Records" "Transcripts" "Financial Aide" and "Transfer Office". Since her first appointment is with the dean she goes in that office. As she gets called in she finds out that "Tracy" is actually a he. She sits as Tracy asks and he offers her some tea. "This meeting is only meant to congratulate you in person for making it into our school because only the talented can get in her. Now after you finish this tea you shall go see Crystal to discuss your educational plans and ask her what ever questions you have. Don't let her stern look fool you though she is very kind."
Amy finishes her tea and goes to see Crystal. Ready to find out what classes she'll be starting out with. Crystal assistant tells Amy she is ready to see her now. She goes in and takes a seat. "Welcome to our fine school young Amy. I shall make this quick and painless. You have a long time ahead of you of hard long hours of work and tests. I hope that you are prepared for this long journey ahead of you. Because if not then you need to say so now before you waste any time here." Amy does not answer therefore Crystal goes on telling her what her work load will be as of now and that she needs to go speak with financial aide to see what she is eligible for if she has already filled out her paperwork and submitted it. "Also I see that you have some experience behind the desk as an office assistant. The jobs here are meant for the students to pay for their classes. We have an opening if you would like to earn the extra cash for transportation or anything outside of your bog fee waivers and grants or loans if you received any." Amy tells her that she'd love the position. So Crystal hands Amy her classes with a last note, "I believe that you'll make at least one friend this semester since my sister is in your field of study and just graduated high school. Her name is Courtney keep your eyes open for her though. She can be quite a handful at times. Now go get everything else taken care of because come Monday next week you shall start your courses. Be sure to buy your books today too before you are stuck with all the shitty textbooks."
