Get ready for massive Sonamy spam in this chapter!
Don't let Tails and Knux ruin it for you… :p
Jk! I love them all! Enjoy! :D
*~~.~~*
Rouge and I kept talking all the way upstairs to get to our classes. We already missed going outside since we were talking downstairs in the cafeteria so long. I was so glad that we were having a sisterly conversation we used to have before this drama crap came along.
"-And get this, Knuckles threw up out the window. And it hit an old lady on the head!" Rouge was telling me this moment of what happened when she invited Knuckles, Silver, Blaze, Tails, Marine, Cosmo and Mina over for an over-night party in 6th grade. They did some dares and it turned out…pretty wild after a while. It came to the point that Mina had to belly dance in public, and Tails had to lick the pole that I don't even want to tell you what was on it.
"Jeez, Rouge! You guys must've been drunk in the head to do that!' I say grossed out. We finally reached the 2nd floor.
"That's me for you, I host insane parties!" she laughs, and turns her body to me. "Well, I guess I'll be heading upstairs now, I don't want to be late for my audition!"
"They're doing it upstairs, where the seniors are?"
"Yeah…and hey! I might even bump into your sister!" She takes a strand of my quills, and play with them. "I'm sure she still doesn't look any different from you…"
"Yeah…which is sick! She's even got a guy friend!" I exclaim.
Rouge looks at me, and stops smiling. "Really, who?"
"I'm pretty sure his name was Jacob…he looks like Sonic."
"Hmm, weird. Oh well, I'll see you sometime tomorrow if we don't meet up after school…after your date!" she runs away from me, and heads upstairs. I wanted to run after her, but remembered that I had gym right this second.
She's definitely Rouge again…
*~~.~~*
When I got to the gymnasium, I saw Shadow talking to some boys next to some basketball court, while Sonic and Jet, yes I'm surprised I got the name right, talking to one another from the far right.
I just walked to some empty bleachers, not wanting Sonic to see me. I took off my bag, and looked around to see if I saw Cosmo. She wasn't here. But I saw the gym teacher, I'm assuming he's one since he had a whistle and a clipboard, sitting not too far from me. I look at him for a moment until he catches my eye.
"Hello…you must be the new student here, right?" he smiles, and I chew on my tongue. I'm not the one for talking to teachers I don't know.
"Y-yes, Sir. I'm Amy."
"Amy…" he looks at his clipboard, and he nods. "I have you right here! But luckily for you, we have free time today."
I just nodded my head, not knowing what to say. But inside, I was jumping with glee. I wasn't in the mood to do any doge ball, laps, or exercise's today and get all sweaty…not when I'm about to meet Sonic later on.
Not that it matters anyways…
"Just waiting on a couple of kids." He continues. "Not much to wait on this time since there is a lot absent today because of the weather and auditions."
"Oh…" I say, looking around the room. It was empty; not much different from the cafeteria. When I turned my head to the left of the room, I saw Cosmo coming in. But she wasn't alone though…I saw Tails and Knuckles with her!
My eyes go bright.
"Tails! Knuckles!" I exclaim, running toward the two. Cosmo started to laugh as she walked towards me with them.
Tails met me half way, and gave me a big hug. "Amy!" Tails yelled. "I haven't seen you in forever!"
"I know!" I say, letting go of him. "And you grew so much!" I pinched his cheeks, and he begins to laugh.
He's so cute!
"What am I, chopped liver?" Knuckles protested, crossing his arms, and tapping his foot. I giggle, and extend my arms.
"Don't be such a grumpy pants, Knux. I missed you too!" I say, giving him a quick hug, knowing he's not into hugs as much as Tails is.
He hugs me back, and we let go. "Yeah, yeah yeah…I'm just going to get this over with; I-missed-you!" He said fast, looking away.
"I know you want to admit it!" I say playfully, and look at Cosmo. "I thought you were going to invite them in Study Hall later? Not that I mind though."
"I did, until I thought about it…"
"Thought about what?" I ask suspiciously.
"When I was auditioning upstairs, I overheard Sonic talking about you." She had a nervous smile on her. "Saying how excited he was to finally know a lot about you 'later on'. So I didn't want to ruin your alone time with him-"
"Cosmo!" I raised my voice, looking over to Tails and Knuckles. By their facial expressions, they looked like they were trying to contain their laughter from coming out. I start turning pink in front of them. When another second had past of silence, all 3 of them started to laugh.
"Somebody has a crush!" Tails said, swatting his hand up and down.
"Stop it!" I say, pulling him into a hug again. "I wouldn't be too easy on my case if I were you. You and that seedrian have something going on, too!"
Soon all the laughter had died down by Cosmo and Tails, but Knuckles was cracking up harder. Now they turned pink! I knew I got them now…
Soon, I heard footsteps coming near, and I freeze up. "I didn't know you guys knew each other!" I heard Jet say, as I whipped my head around fast to face him. But I wasn't only facing him; I was also facing Sonic and Shadow as well.
Sonic rubs the back of his head, and grins, "Are we disturbing your moment here, Tails?"
"Hey Sonic! And no, we were just, uh…" Tails hesitated, pulling himself away from me. "It was nothing!"
Knuckles stopped laughing, wiping some tears away from the hard laughter. Shadow looked at Sonic, who was still grinning, and turned to face me. "Have you auditioned for one of the parts for the school play?"
"No…but I was hoping to do it tomorrow." I feel my face turning normal again. "If it's not too late."
"Normally it will be." Tails says, his face turning back to normal as well. "But since your one of my closest friends, I guess I can hold it back for you."
"Thanks, Tails!" I cheer, giving him a third hug. "You're the best!"
"Ha ha…no problem!"
"Okay, guys!" The gym teacher calls out, clapping his hands. We all faced him, and stopped talking. "Since there are only little of you, we're going to be having free time. You can talk, do your homework, whatever you want! Begin!"
All of us faced each other again. Cosmo was the first one to speak, "I guess we can continue talking then." Cosmo looks at Tails and forms a smile. "Can we talk about the lines you gave us earlier upstairs?"
"Sure!" Tails said, wagging his tails. "I mean- I'm not going to lie; they're pretty hard to memorize…"
"I don't think I'm going to get the part of Chambers." Sonic tells Tails, and his smile vanishes while talking. "He has too many emotions going on according to the lines; it's like he's…has some kind of disorder or something!"
"Well," Jet says, coming out of the quiet zone; so quiet that I forgot he was here, "I have to come tomorrow for Wave. She's going to audition again."
I scratch my arm, and decided to talk. "I don't understand…why do the auditions have to continue tomorrow? Is it that long?"
"I'm afraid so…" Tails answered. "They're not your ordinary play; this is real!"
"So is Shakespeare…you don't see me taking 2 days to host auditions for them!" Knuckles concludes, and points at Tails. "You're an amazing director- for a freshman in this school- it's just that…we never took this long to audition last year."
"Well maybe it's your acting, Knuckles!" Cosmo defended, making a pouty face. "Tails is an amazing director, you'll see!"
"I never said-"
"I said, you'll see!" she made it plain and simple before turning to Tails. "This school won't know what's coming when they see this!"
"Thanks, Cosmo!" Tails thanked her with a bright smile. She returned one back.
"I don't want to break you two love birds over there," I interrupt they're interacting gaze. They made a glare at me but I ignored it. "But…what's the name of the play?"
"The play that has been known for over 40 years now is, "L'amour est enchantée" Sonic tells me in a charming voice.
The way it rolled out of his tongue…I didn't know Sonic talked French so well!
One problem though; I have no idea what it means!
"I'm sorry?" I say confused to him.
He chuckles and repeats it, ""L'amour est enchantée"; Love is Magic!"
"Ah!" I finally get it, and couldn't help but smile at my stupidity. "My apologies, I really don' know French very well…"
"That's why I know that Sonic will definitely get this part of Chambers! He knows French so well." Jet smirked. "He's got it going on with the ladies!"
"Shut up!" Sonic spoke up loudly. "Or do you want me to tell everyone about how you tried to coaxed Wave in-"
"Drop. It!" Jet broke of his sentence, and eyes Sonic. "And she's my girlfriend by the way!"
"Whatever…" Sonic rolled his eyes, and cocked his head to me. "This green bird is sad, isn't he?"
I nodded, and giggled at his humor.
"I'm going over to the rest of the boys!" Jet waved us all away, and stormed away from us to the other side of the room.
"Did we do something wrong?" Knuckles asked.
Shadow shrugged, "He's a grump, what do you expect from a hawk?"
"Nothing…" Tails responds, "Nothing at all."
"I'm going to go make amends with that guy!" Sonic tells us, and walks away. Before he goes further ahead, he looks back at me and grins. "See ya later?"
"Yup!" I answer, and wave at him. Then I turned to face Tails, "You have gym, too?"
"Nah, I only came for you…I have to go back up to continue on with the auditions again. I had Silver taking my place." Tails rolled his eyes, "I just hope he's doing well, and not ruining anything."
"Yeah…I kind of doubt it!" Knuckles said, turning around. "I have to get back upstairs myself to see Julie-Su's audition! Later!"
"Bye!" Me and Cosmo said at the same time, seeing Tails and Knuckles depart from us. Shadow just left us, without saying bye, and went toward the other boys. That's when I remembered what Rouge asked before…about Shadow. "Hey Cosmo?" I ask her, smiling nervously.
"Yeah?"
"Do you mind if you leave Shadow and I together…alone…?" I say carefully to her.
She didn't respond, only looking at me like I was some sort of alien she never seen. "Um, why?" she finally asks.
"Rouge said that she wanted me to talk to Shadow for her since I was in the same period he's in." I explain to her. "So…can we have some privacy please?"
"Sure!' she said, and goes to the door. "But just remember, he's not the one to be talking much…" Cosmo added without turning around to me.
"Okay…whatever that means…" I say to myself. My eyes go from student to student until it finds the ebony hedgehog; talking to some boys he was talking to earlier. I motion slowly towards him, feeling a bit uneasy while coming to him. I didn't even know him well enough to talk to him about…well…I didn't even know what Rouge wanted me to ask about him furthermore!
By the time I reach where he was, he turns his head quickly at me, and I almost jump out of my skin. "What?" He asks in a cold voice. I shudder.
"W-well…I need to have a word with you…Shadow." I forced the name out of me, and stare at him. We stare at each other until he looks at the boys he was just talking to. "I guess I'll see you guys later then." His friend's, I assume, wave at him and Shadow walks past me to some empty bleachers. My eyes follow him, but my body doesn't move.
When he sits down on the corner of a bleacher, he looks up at me and smirks, "Well, are you coming or what?"
"Yeah, I am!" I said, and walk-run to him. I sit down on the bleachers beside him and flatten my skirt. "How are you?' I say out of nowhere. He just looks at me like I was weird, but answers with a nod. I cough, feeling a bit awkward here. "So...what do you think of Rouge?"
Unexpectedly, his muzzle turn pink, and he darts his eyes away from my stare. "I-I-don't know..?"
"Rouge told me you guys play fight in gym…when do you guys have gym together?"
"Fridays."
"Ok…Do you like playing with her?"
His muzzle goes pinker, and he turns his head this time to the left, where the windows were between the bleachers. "She's a really good fighter…"
"Mm-hmm!" I answer, feeling a little bit more comfortable than before. "Do you like her as a friend?"
"I guess…"
"Why are you turning pink?" I teased, pointing to his cheek.
"You're a very nosey girl, aren't you?" He wondered, looking at me again, "Don't you have anything else better to do other than to be in my business?"
"Just to let you know," I told, setting both my hands on my lap, "Rouge is a very close friend of mine. And she's, how do I say this, just wondering; what do you think of her?"
"So you're telling me that Rouge sent you here?" Shadow questioned. He turned less pink.
I began to feel uncomfortable again, knowing that Shadow is on my case. "No. I really do have gym now. Rouge just asked me to...she just wants to know how you feel about her."
"Right…what does she really want to know?" He folded his arms, looking me in the eyes. Even though it was hard to look at those red eyes that was demanding an answer, I had to let go of my intimacy, and just stared back at him.
"Besides her being popular and all, do you like her-?" I stop, and slap my head. "Damn it!"
"Like her- as in like like her?"
"Forget what I said-"
"So this is what this charade is about; seeing if I liked her?" He looked more baffled, and sat up slightly. "What's going on here?"
"Uh…" I bet I looked dumb. I was definitely trapped now!
"You're stuck, aren't you?" He protested to me. "Just tell me the truth, and I'll tell you my answer for her."
"Really?" I practically cried out. "You'll tell me your answer of rather you like her or not?"
"Yes. But only if you tell me the truth!"
"Okay, I'll tell you." I looked around to see if the cost was clear. It was. "Rouge has a…crush on you…" It was wired saying the word 'crush' in front of him- he seemed like the type of person that doesn't fit with that word.
"A crush? She has a crush on me?" He repeats and turns away to the window again. His muzzle was still the same color though.
"Yes she does, now you have to tell me if you feel the same way." I say seriously. I look at the direction Shadow was looking before; near the window. I saw rain coming down harder and faster. "We even…we even had a fight over this problem…she thought we were dating." I look at him again.
"What?!" He goes back to looking at me and raises an eyebrow. "Why would she even-?"
"Well," I cut him off, "She saw you and Sonic with me yesterday when that football hit me in the nose."
"I understand her thinking that Sonic liking you, but me?"
Oh my god, even Shadow thinks what everyone else is thinking…about Sonic and I…
"I don't like you, so you can tell her that!" He finishes his statement, and gets up. I catch his arm before he walks away.
"You didn't answer my question, Shadow!" I stand up with him. "Do you, or do you not, like Rouge?"
He made a frown, and lightly pulled my grip from his arm. "I- I don't know, okay? I never liked anyone before…"
"But…but you have to know if you have any type of feelings for her…you have to feel something!"
"You don't understand- I never, ever, liked anyone! So I don't know if this is something I'm developing for her or not!" He turns on his heel, and walks away from me. I just look at him, not doing anything about it. So I left him alone for the time being, and sat back down.
I'm so pissed about how criminy…I think I hung out with Marine too long…he was acting! But at the same time, I know where he was coming from with this. I kind of feel the same way sometimes- If I like a boy or not. That's why I try to not fall in love easily. Although my friends are really making it hard right now with a certain blue hedgehog…
I guess I'll need to find another way to persuade him. But how, I have no idea.
*~~.~~*
An hour has passed in gym, and the coach had blown his whistle. "Okay everyone! The day is now over, and I'll be dismissing you guys. So put all the sport equipment away, and line up near the exit door."
I was doing my homework I received from my Arts & Labs teacher. I had to write a haiku and form it in a type of shape or a thing. I made my haiku into an apple tree- if you want to be specific about it- but it was just a normal looking tree. I gave it one final look at it before putting it away in my see-through blue folder, and in my bag. Then I got up with my bag on me, and walked to the exit door, where the rest of the little group of kids was at.
I looked at the gym, only to see Jet running to the line with another boy. I didn't see Shadow though. He was probably in the back of the line, but I didn't care to turn around. I did see Sonic talking to the gym teacher though about something. After a while, he headed towards me. I couldn't help but clam my lips together, keeping the smile from coming.
So what if he's coming to me…that doesn't matter! So stop with the immature behavior, and realize he's just a boy!
"Are you ready?" I hear Sonic ask from me talking to myself in my mind…I know, it's sad!
I look at him and smiled, giving up on trying not to. "For Study Hall, yes I am!"
"Let's go then!" He said, taking my hand in his. "The coach said that it was alright if we can go upstairs to the room."
I got out of the lined up group and walked to the other side of the room with him, to the other door. I was feeling real giddy that he was holding my hand, but I didn't want to make it into a big thing though, so I stayed calm the whole time. Or you can say I tried to…
"Why is your hand shaking? You feeling alright?" Sonic asks when we get to the door. He opened it, and led me out first. My hand was still in his.
"Yeah, I'm just a bit…nervous…" I lied, looking down. Why did I have to lie?
"Why? There's nothing to be nervous about." He said when he gets out of the gym with me.
"Well…I never held a guy's hand before." I say softly, looking at our closed hands. He looks at it too, and yanks away. "Oh- I'm sorry!"
"It's okay!" I laughed. "I thought you knew all along we were holding hands."
"Yeah, I'm not really the one to be…'holding hands'…" He quoted with his fingers, when we started to walk again.
"So, where's the room?" I change the topic. I didn't want things to get awkward between us.
"Just about two more rooms down…"
"We already past a room." I say with a little bit of sarcasm. "So you mean one room, correct?"
"Ah, the sarcastic type!" He chuckled, and looked at me. "If you want to get technical- then yes. One more room to pass."
"Actually, I was being specific!"
"It didn't sound like it to me!"
"Well, it sounded like it to me!" I say amusingly. I don't know if we're arguing, or just discussing, but I didn't care. It was fun! We just kept going back and forth with comebacks to attack each other with. I never did this with any other boy, so it was sort of new to me.
After about 5 more attacks on each other, Sonic suddenly stops next to a room that was dark inside. "What's the matter?" I question, looking inside the room through the window.
"This is the room- Study Hall!" He answers and opens up the door. "After you." He motions his hands inside, and I felt my cheeks turning a color; pink, what else. I go in, and observe the room. It wasn't as dark much as it was seeing through the window.
"It looks big…and quiet." I say in a whisper. I turn around to see Sonic opening up the door wider, and putting the door stopper against it to keep it open. He looks up at me, and gives a self-satisfied smirk. "Well, it is Study Hall, where everything is quiet. And plus, there's no one here."
"Smart, are we?" I say, grabbing a chair that was light green. I sit down on it and put my bag on top of my lap, crossing my legs.
"Not nearly as smart as you." He mentioned while coming my way. He grabs a seat that was pushed in from a rectangle table, and pushes it near me. He faced it backwards, and sat on it.
I look at him for a moment until I finally ask, "Do all boys sit like that?"
"Hmm, it depends on what boy you meet." He says in a hushed tone.
"Then I guess I met a one of a kind." I say with delight. Then I start to stiffen in my seat, catching on to what I said. "Uh…that came out wrong, didn't it?"
"What do you mean, didn't you mean it?" He started, or pretended you might say, to cry. "I'm hurt!"
"You're funny!" I said and shaking my head. "Do they have funny parts in the play you're trying out in?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You should consider in trying out those then!" I squeeze my hands together, thinking about Sonic as the funny guy in the play. Just thinking about it made me blush.
Just thinking about Sonic made me blush harder.
"I do…but I rather get a main role in this play. You should get one of the main roles too." He told me, kicking his legs from side to side.
I look away and smile to myself. "Really?"
"Yeah! Oh, and I don't know if you have any siblings, but I saw a girl that looked a lot like you when I was auditioning my part- but she was a bit taller then you."
"Blue quills?"
"Yeah."
"Green bangs?"
"Yup."
"Who else would have that mixed color of hair…" I say shamefully, but quiet enough that Sonic didn't hear. I turned to the blue hedgehog with a frown. "That's my sister, Isabella."
"Oh…well she looks pretty. I guess it runs in the family!" he gives me a poke on the side of my stomach.
I think I died and went to heaven…
No! He's just another average boy!
But he seems so…different than the rest I see…
"I-uh-don't know what to say…" I mumble a bit. "Thank you."
"You're welcome!" I saw him turning pink, even though it was dark in here.
We sat down in silence, just looking around the room. I didn't know what to say next, but Sonic started to cough.
"Are you okay?" I ask shyly. His eyes go back to me, and he makes a simple, yet plain, smile.
"Yeah…I guess I was too lazy to open up my umbrella this morning when it was drizzling."
"Sonic, really? You couldn't take the time of about 3 seconds of your life to unstrap an umbrella, and pull it open?"
"You care?" He asked me, eyes widening up a bit.
"Does it matter?" I question with an attitude. I definitely do NOT want him to get any ideas that I…like him…which I don't!
"Rhetorical question's doesn't count!" He fiddles with the metal part of the chair that was facing me. I play with my quills.
"You baffle me." I come out saying, with a straight face.
He mocks my face expression, and sighs. "Well, I guess we'll just have to be baffled together."
I chew on my tongue, and start to remember why we were here in the first place. "Hey, how about I tell you some things about me, and then you tell me some things about yourself?"
"Sounds good to me!"
"Okay!" I begin, and clear my throat. "My favorite color is baby blue. And, I like listening to pop. My favorite ice-cream flavor is Strawberry with nuts and chocolate with rainbow sprinkles. Also, I don't like to be known as the peppy girl with the bright smiles, because I swear I've been mistaken as one of how I dress. I'm a bit staged-fright, and I'm between outgoing and shy, but mostly outgoing. I have Facebook and Tumblr, but not a Twitter. And…I have a big sister, as I already told you before. My best friends in the whole world is Mina, Cream, Blaze, Rouge, Cosmo, and Marine-" I pause and look down. I didn't mean for her name to come out my moth, but it did. "Yeah…That's about it!" I finish, looking up at Sonic. He really seemed interested when I looked at him, which made me feel good inside.
"Well, well, well. Looks like we have the winner of the most details!" Sonic clapped his hands, and I blushed. My cheeks were heating up so much, that I had to hold my hand against my muzzle.
"Anything else you want to know?" I manage to say through my hands.
"Yes- what's your favorite flower?"
"My favorite flower?" I repeat the question like it was something new to me. "I'll have to say… a Crysthanamum flower is my favorite one!"
"What no Roses, Violets, Bird of Paradises?" He remarks, looking at me with those big green eyes, shifting his position on his seat.
Those eyes…I swear!
"Just because my name ends with 'Rose', doesn't mean I have to fave them. People in this world always think that since my last name is Rose…well it's not." I explain while looking at my shoes. They seemed scratched up already.
"I didn't mean to put you down, Ames. I'm sorry-"
"What did you just call me?" I blurted out, cocking my head to him. "Did you say 'Ames'?"
"I don't think I'm making good progress with my words, aren't I?" Sonic scratches the back of his head, and turns red. "I am not good with girls…"
"No! No! It's okay!" I wave my hands defensively at him. "I just didn't think that you'll, out of the blue, call me by one of my famous nicknames." I bite my tongue harder, even though it's starting to hurt.
Sonic looked puzzled, and turns serious. "Any other boys call you that?"
"No, why?" I ask out of curiosity. Why would he care if any boy called be that?
"Nothing." He said, looking upwards at the ceiling.
I look up at the ceiling as well. I didn't see anything amusing about it. "No one asks something because of nothing. You have to ask it because of….what?"
After I asked, I look back down from the ceiling and catch Sonic's eye on me. He looked uneasy from whatever the reason. "Just…nothing. That's all."
Mm-Hmm
"If you say so…" I start to wag my tail…bad habit of mine…and gesture my finger to his forehead. "Now it's your turn, mister!"
"Alrighty then!" His face expression softness and he smiles at me, and I smile back. "I have a brother to begin with; he's a senior in this school but a total pain in the butt!" I laugh and he laughed with me before continuing. "My favorite color is…well none other than blue. And I'm not much of an ice-cream boy, but if I had to choose then I'll pick Vanilla. Also I'm a straight A student here. If not, then I'm almost one. My favorite show is watching Real World on Mtv. Let's see what else…" He thinks for a few seconds before speaking again. "I respect all people, bad or good. Last but not least…I, Sonic the Hedgehog, have never ever dated!"
"Never? Well you did tell me that you never had a crush…but I'm still surprised! Your handsome…gah!" I puff out my cheeks, and lean my head against my hand. "I need to think before I say things!"
"It's alright, I don't mind compliments." He says while taking my hand away from my face. "You've been acting quite wired around me. And when you say things that are actually nice, you make it seem like it was a dirty statement."
"I'm sorry…It's just, I don't know what to say to a boy without feeling a type of way." I look at him and ignore that I had my hand in his. "It's difficult."
"I know how you feel. I never had any friends that were girls…except for Rouge and Sally…"
"Who's Sally?" I ask, making a questionably expression.
"She was a close friend of mine in elementary school. She's really nice! But she moved away when 7th grade hit, and I haven't seen her since." His ear flattens down. I mean his right ear flattens, but the left one stays the same; still looking broken.
Besides from that, I could relate to how Sonic felt. I missed my best friends when I moved away, so I can only feel a bit down myself when Sonic told me a close friend of his moved away too. "Sonic…" I say softly, making him look up at me. "I know how it feels to be moved away from people that are close to you."
"Yeah…"
"And, it sucks badly. But I'm sure that she'll come back! A friend always does-"
"Okay… this isn't a fairytale story." Sonic interrupts me and lets go of my hand. "You just don't say Abracadabra and a happy ending comes into play!" He wags his finger around in the air like a wand. "Been there, done that."
"I was just trying to make you feel better." I felt as if I did something wrong, which I probably have. Not that I meant it in a way though, I was just trying to help.
"I know…I just don't think it'll happen." He said disappointedly. He rubs underneath his nose while his eyes were still on me. "But I'm just here to live my life to the fullest!"
"Kk." I said, tilting my head to the head part of the chair. "Let's make this room a bit brighter…no pun!"
"How, flicking the lights on?"
"I actually like the lights off…but I meant like ask some questions about each other." I study his left ear that was bent. I just couldn't take my mind off of it and I really was skeptical about it. "Do you mind me asking about your bent ear?"
Sonic reaches for the ear I was talking about, and rub it lightly with his fingers. "This ear?"
"Yeah."
He let's go of his ear, and rubs his fingers together. "Not much to say except that it got caught between the elevator doors when I was little."
I cover my mouth with my hands, widening my eyes. "That must've been terrible!"
"It wasn't cupcakes and strawberries if that's what you mean-" He chuckles. "But yes, it was an awful experience. Luckily I survived the pain."
"Have you ever got it checked up?"
"No…"
"Why?"
"I just…didn't…want to is all…" He hesitated and coughed again, but harder this time.
I just took the broken ear thing out from my mind, and focused on his soon-to-be sickness. "Sonic, you really need to get home with all of that coughing."
"I'm fine." He tried to make a smile, but failed at it.
"You look pale, and it's not even light enough in here to see it. That's bad."
"But-"
"Don't 'but' me, Sonic." I got up from my seat, and took Sonic's hand. "You need to get home, now!"
He gave me one more look until he gave up, and took my hand. I pulled him up and we stared at one another. "Thanks…for caring." He finally says when I pull my hand from his.
"I just don't want for you to faint on me. Like in a lot of movies, someone faints and then the person who is standing gets blamed for killing and-" I see Sonic's facial expression; he looked weird out. "Never mind…" I smile sheepishly, and go for the open door. "I tend to get out of hand when it comes to talking about movies. I get that from my sister"
"It's okay, my brother's the same way." Sonic follows behind me. We walk out of the classroom, and into the halls in nothing but silence. No one was in the halls. We headed for the staircase, and went all the way down until we reached the basement- which was the 1st floor, but in this High School the names changes. Don't ask me why, it just does in this school.
I pushed the door open that led us outside.
Nothing but rain pouring down.
Great, I'm going to get soaked!
"I guess this is going to be fun." Sonic ironically states, putting his hand over his head to look out the door without getting wet. "This is where my umbrella comes in…" He then felt his side pockets of his shirt like something was supposed to pop out of it.
"Where is your umbrella?" I ask, noticing he didn't have a bag with him on. I knew an umbrella couldn't be small enough to fit in a pocket.
"It's in my locker…" He groans and looks upstairs. "I'll have to go back up to get it…"
"I'll wait for you here!" I say with a big smile plastered on. "I won't mind, I have to call my mom for a ride anyways."
"Are you sure?" Sonic asks with one leg on a stair already. I nodded, and he smiled back. Then he ran upstairs until he was out of sight. I took out my phone from my bag and dialed up my mom's number, knowing she'll be home at this time.
A few more rings were heard until she picked up the phone, "Hello?" I heard my mom answer.
"Mom, it's an emergency!"
"What, what?!"
"I forgot my umbrella! And it's pouring!"
There was silence between us until I hear a sigh coming from the other line. "You call me up with a panic attack for that, Amy?"
"I'm sorry, but I need a ride home…"
"Okay…" There was another pause until she spoke again. "I'll get Bella to get you-"
"No! Anything but that!" I exclaim, looking up the stairs to see if Sonic was coming down. He wasn't there. I lowered my voice so no one else can hear me. "I rather you just get me the limo driver to pick me up!"
"Are you sure? I know how much you hate-"
"There is no one here to see me in it. I'm like the only one in this school…"
"Yeah, about that; why on earth are you coming home so late?!" She questioned in a motherly tone.
"I- I was with a boy and-"
"Excuse me?!"
"It's not what you think," I gulp and continue on. "We were just studying together in Study Hall." I lied. "We asked if we could stay behind."
"Okay, if you say so…I'll get the driver to pick you up quickly so you don't stay there long."
"Thanks, mom! Bye!" I say and clicking "end call" on my phone. I hear footsteps running down the stairs, and I look up to see Sonic with his black umbrella.
"Sorry to keep you waiting long." He told me when he reached the last stair. He went outside and opened up his umbrella. Wow, it was huge for one person! "I can until your ride comes so you won't be alone here."
"No, it's fine." I responded, locking my hands together in front of me, my phone in between. I really wanted Sonic to stay, but at the same time I didn't want him to see a limo coming for me. So I was in a bit of a mix up here.
"Oh…well okay. If you say so." He grins, and turns around to go to his direction. He then turns his head back to me and waves. I wave back and call out, "See you at school tomorrow!"
I just kept staring at Sonic, him walking away from me. All the thunder and the splatter of rain hitting against my face didn't matter right now…
I was more worried about him then me.
And that really means something.

I'm really not, like most of the time in stories, going to put them together just yet. :)
*I want them to actually click as friends first*
This is going to be hard for Amy though ;A;
My favorite part would have to be the Tails and Amy moment they shared (Like borthers & Sisters) I'm going to be making Amy the sister figure for Tails...sooner or later.
I put a few hints with Sonic and Amy when they was talking in Study Hall together- can you find them? ;)
The next update will hopefully come sooner or later, so watch out for that :) Bye!
P.S: If you're wondering if Jet & Wave being one of the main characters, then I'm here to answer that: No.
