YAAAAY! WINTER BREAK HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! 2 WEEKS OF NO SCHOOL! LET'S SEE HOW MUCH I CAN ACCOMPLISH! ENJOY CHAPTER 10!
"Sonic…? What are you doing here?" Amy asked, looking at him. Sonic looked back at her and shrugged.
"I just happened to take a run around this neighborhood and I saw you so I decided to stop by. That is until I heard your conversation with yourself. You're so weird you know that?" Sonic exclaimed. Amy felt her fists trembling. She tried to calm herself down by forcing a smile.
"Is that so? Well, if you stopped by to say mean things to me, I suggest you leave before you come to school tomorrow with a big bump on your head." Amy threatened.
"Geez…you're so mean…" Sonic mumbled.
"Look who's talking! Just leave me alone!" Amy angrily yelled.
"Okay. I just stopped by to tell you why I was acting bitter towards you but I guess you'll never find out. Bye!" Sonic dashed off. Amy growled.
"Wait! I want to know why though!" Amy yelled. Once she knew he wouldn't come back, she sighed and made it home. She went inside and closed the door behind her. She greeted her mom and dad which she still wasn't able to actually call them mom and dad. She went upstairs into her room and instantly lied on her bed. She released a big sigh.
"Wow…school was…interesting." Amy muttered. She thought back to all the events that had happened to her. Sonic had a girlfriend, Sonic was bitter towards her, she made new friends, saw Cream and Blaze again, and her lame old science class. She was glad she had no homework today since she did it all in class while some teachers didn't assign homework at all. She wondered what she could do right now to keep herself busy. She was planning on going to hang out with Cream and Blaze until she heard Jocelyn call her name. She went downstairs and found Cream and Blaze standing outside.
"Your friends are asking for you. I'll leave you 3 alone." Joselyn remarked, walking away. Amy ran up to her friends and smiled.
"Hey guys! I was just thinking of hanging out with you guys! What's up?" Amy asked.
"Nothing. We were just bored and wondered if you wanted to hang out at the mall. We invited another friend if you don't mind." Cream exclaimed.
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Rouge the Bat. I think you know her. You have her for math right?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah! And I don't mind. The more the merrier. Just let me get my purse and ask permission. I'll be right back!" Amy ran to her room and grabbed her bag. She asked Joselyn for permission and she nodded in reply. Amu hugged her and ran outside with her friends.
"You are never going to believe who talked to me on my way home today?" Amy asked.
"Sonic?" Cream answered. Amy nodded.
"What is up with you and him? You never really told us much about him. We want to know what's going on." Blaze said, looking at Amy.
"Well…I really don't know where to begin…I guess I can start off when I lived on the streets…" Amy trailed off at the end. She made sure to be very clear on her close friendly relationship with Sonic and how many events had happened during that time. She tried avoiding the topic of where she really came from and her real mother. She wasn't ready to tell anyone else about her dark past. It took the whole mall trip for Amy to explain her story and it left Blaze and Cream quiet.
"So yeah…he seemed to have changed a lot in two years and I hate to admit this but…I think I developed a crush on him somehow. I don't think I like him anymore but I still feel a small spark…" Amy finished.
"Girl. I wouldn't suggest you messing with his relationship. Sally may seem like a pretty princess on the outside but she can be evil. She loves Sonic so much. But rumors from last year I heard was that he's never said I love you to her which might mean something. You can tell he sometimes doesn't take it seriously but Sally is too blind to see that. You might actually have a chance with him." Blaze stated.
"Yeah! You should try to be friends with Sally so you can take advantage of her." Cream remarked.
"Hold on. I never said I really liked Sonic. Also, I'm not stealing a girl's boyfriend. It's just not right. That's their problem in their relationship…I don't even think Sonic likes me…" Amy sighed sadly.
"Who knows? He is considered quite popular at school and probably acts fake to actually keep his popularity. Do you think he's just using Sally to get even more popular?" Cream asked.
"That would make him a total jerk. Using someone that really loves him? I'd hit him with my hammer so many times until he apologizes. But that's not the point. I just don't know if I still like him…and if he ever liked me…I would ask but I'm scared of what he will say. It's bad enough that he's being mean to me for no reason…" Amy mumbled.
"Let's just forget about Sonic for now and enjoy some girl time. Rouge is already waiting for us inside and she hates waiting." Cream suggested, walking inside the mall. They met up with Rouge inside and started walking around the mall. She was amazed at the size of the mall. Her ears twitched when she heard a group of familiar voices heang towards her direction.
"That did not happen!" Silver complained.
"Yes it did Silver! Stop denying it! I have proof." Knuckles yelled.
"You guys are so loud…" Shadow muttered.
"Sonic? What did you think of school today?" Sally asked. Sonic was looking at a store that had caught his interest. He turned to Sally when he heard her question.
"It was alright…" Sonic replied. He caught a glimpse of Amy and when he got near her, he talked a bit louder. "You know that one pink hedgehog? She was so weird today!" Amy stopped walking and followed Sonic. She got near him and took her hammer out, whacking him on the head.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?!" Sonic yelled in pain.
"What's your problem!? Why are you talking trash about me?" Amy yelled back.
"Hey! You have no right to hit Sonic like that!" Sally spat, standing next to Sonic.
"You're not in this. I suggest you stand back if you know what's best for you…" Amy muttered. By then, a crowd gathered around Sonic and Amy.
"I wasn't talking trash about you. You are just hearing things. You really need your ears clean." Sonic smirked.
"Oh. I see what game you're playing…well, what happened to years ago when I gave you a home on the st-" Amy screamed when her mouth was covered and was carried somewhere isolated in the mall. She pushed Sonic's hand away and growled angrily.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sonic asked, angrily.
"Why don't you ask yourself that?! Judging by your actions, you haven't told anyone about what happened two years ago. I bet you even possibly begged Tails not to say anything about it. Well, listen here Sonic…if you don't want me to spill your secret, I suggest you keep your mouth shut when you're talking about me." Amy threatened, eyeing him.
"You can't threaten me like that. Remember, I know your little secret as well and I'm not afraid of revealing it." Sonic chuckled, making Amy nervous.
"So you do remember me huh?! What's with the acting? What did I ever do to you to receive this behavior from you? I don't recall ever being mean to you." Amy asked.
"Like I said earlier…I have my reasons." Sonic replied.
"You really wouldn't dare reveal that…you know how I feel about that. You'd feel so guilty." Amy exclaimed, crossing her arms.
"Whatever. You just better not spill anything or I will make your last year of high school terrible. Mark my words."
"Whatever. Fine by me. Just stop talking behind my back." Amy said, starting to walk away. She turned back and looked at him.
"What happened to you? Where's the Sonic I knew 2 years ago?" Amy walked away leaving Sonic speechless.
"If only you knew Amy…if only you knew…" Sonic mumbled.
A/N: If you know what Sonic meant by what he said, you will understand in later chapters. As you can see, I sort of hinted why Sonic is acting bitter towards her. Maybe it's not because he likes her but because there's probably something else as well. The upcoming chapters will start explaining some stuff hopefully. I can't believe we're on chapter 10 already. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! See ya Sunday!
