Chapter 10: Nescient
"Oh!" Amy gasped amazed. She bowed her head and smiled politely. "Hello Mr. Hedgehog. I am Amy Rose, a friend and classmate of Sonic" She stated proudly.
Mr. Hedgehog smiled now. "You have manners." He turned to his son and shot darts at him. Sonic ignored him and only looked away. Amy giggled and covered her flushed cheeks.
"We have actually just finished our project." She said.
Mr. Hedgehog looked around the room and the evidence was there. She was not lying and Sonic wasn't saying anything. He liked what he was seeing. Mr. Hedgehog laughed and nodded. "Very good–wonderful of you to be helping my boy. Did he help you?"
"Yes Sir. He helped with the typing." She said.
He laughed harder and his eyes shimmered in delight. He turned to his embarrassed son and smirked at him. "What's with that face? You've ought to be proud my boy!"
Sonic got up from his bed and crossed his arms. "Could you leave?"
Amy frowned in hearing Sonic speak that way to his father.
"Sonic!" His father scolded him and turned to Amy. "I apologize on his behalf for his rude behavior." He chuckled and his hand rested on her shoulder. "But don't worry, he's a charmer."
Sonic was about done with hearing words come out from his mouth and grabbed Amy's bag and walked passed them, pushing the bag to Amy's stomach. Amy gasped but was able to grab her bag. Mr. Hedgehog looked annoyed at Sonic, but he walked Amy out of the room and into the hall.
"He's such a despicable hedgehog, but I appreciate you tolerating it. He's hard to understand."
"No, it is quite alright…?" Amy drifted off.
"Don't mind him. He acts like that when I'm around,"
Amy didn't ask why. She was too afraid to as well. To pry into Sonic's personal life was too soon if anything. She had just met Sonic and they were only a little above the friend line. It wasn't any of her business either.
"Oh," She muttered.
He paused for a moment then spoke to her surprise. "Amy, would you like to have dinner with us?"
Amy's mouth opened in surprise. She faced his direction but to Mr. Hedgehog's eyes she stared straight at the wall. Amy blushed lightly but didn't smile. "I am truly sorry, but I told my grandfather I would have dinner with him tonight, but I am thankful for the offer."
Mr. Hedgehog closed his eyes with small smile. "I understand, but please feel free to stay as long as you want."
"She has to go home now," Sonic's voice spoke from down the hall. He stood there with his arms crossed and glaring at them. "We're done with our project."
Amy's breath hitched but she managed to pull on a smile.
Mr. Hedgehog shook his head with embarrassment and opened his mouth about to speak, but Amy spoke before he could.
"Yes, and it is getting close to dinner,"
Mr. Hedgehog nodded. "Oh, I see," His eyes rose and he found his son glaring at him from down the hall. He turned back to her and guided her down the hall. "Sonic, please be a gentlemen and escort her home."
"Thank you very much again for helping him with his school duties." He said.
"It is him who I must thank," She said bowing her head a bit. "It was nice meeting you again Mr. Hedgehog. "
"As to you too, Amy. Take care and please, whenever you want to head over you are welcomed here again."
Sonic didn't hesitate to walk over and take her from his side. Mr. Hedgehog's eyes bolt out gesturing Sonic to be polite, but Sonic merely ignored him. He pulled Amy by the arm and took her downstairs.
"Thank you," Amy was able to say till they started down the stairs.
"You could cut out the act now. He's gone." Sonic said to her.
Amy frowned and her eyes narrowed. "Why are you so rude to your father?"
"Because he deserves it," He said in a low voice. Amy closed her mouth and allowed herself to get dragged out of his home. Once out, Sonic walked her down to the gate. The gates opened for them and Sonic stopped.
"Here's your stop."
Amy bit her lip. 'Wait you are not taking me home?' "Oh, okay. Thank you," Amy said instead hoping she didn't sound disappointed.
"Hopefully we do good," He said staring at her.
Amy's smiled. "'Well' you mean?"
"Whatever," He chuckled. "We'll see Monday. See you then," He said waving, but then forgetting she couldn't see him do so, so, he dropped his hand.
"Yes, I will see you Monday." She said and stood there for a moment hearing his light footsteps leaving from where he stood, in front of her. Amy slowly turned around and took out her white cane. As she unfolded it she swallowed hard and wondered why she felt a jittery feeling down her throat and to her chest. Amy clenched her stick.
Why was her chest hurting in such a way she couldn't understand. It felt like her heart wanted to jump out. Amy stopped and wondered why she felt so disappointed by Sonic leaving her. She usually didn't mind anyone's help, but she somewhat craved his.
Her cheeks flushed and she could feel the heat rushing in. She covered her mouth and shook her head horrified. Alone she stood there on the streets with nothing but her cane, bag, feelings and thoughts.
.:XxX:.
Sonic closed the door to his house and inside Mr. Hedgehog waited on top of the stairs with his arms crossed. Sonic chose to ignore him and turned to walk a different direction.
"She's a nice girl." He spoke and Sonic stopped not turning to face him. "She doesn't deserve your friendship,"
Sonic narrowed his eyes and continued walking down to a living room without replying to his father. Mr. Hedgehog stared emotionlessly at him until he was out of his sight. Mr. Hedgehog shook his head lowering his head in disappointment. He looked out the window next to the door into the darkness of night. Walking alone at night while blind must be tough and for Sonic to leave her alone like that wasn't polite. Mr. Hedgehog turned around and walked down the second floor hall.
Monday came before Amy knew it and therefore came the time to present her work along with Sonic. He didn't say much. He only spoke what Amy had said for him to say. She did most of the explaining and analyzing. He showed the poster and read bits and parts of the paper he had typed. Then it was finished.
It was three days later that the whole class received word of their grades. When Sonic got their papers back on the top, in bold, red was a large 'A' written. Smiles glimmered both on Sonic's and Amy's faces. Sonic went the whole day smiling and boasting about the grade he got, but never did he mention Amy helped him. Amy didn't mind. She was glad she'd help Sonic. He needed the help, she thought with a small giggle.
"Hey," Sonic shouted out for Amy to stop walking.
Amy stopped and waited for the voice to approach her.
"Thanks Ames,"
Amy blushed but smiled. "My pleasure! I thank you for helping as well."
Sonic chuckled and his voice lowered. "Hey, how 'bout I take you out afterschool? My treat,"
Amy's surprised pale eyes glimmered. Words could not explain how surprised and excited she felt and all that could come out of her mouth was, "Oh,"
A grin appeared and Sonic smirked. He rubbed the top of her head and turned around. "I'll see you afterschool,"
A pair of blue eyes watched her from a corner and blinked slowly as she entered through the doors.
That lunch-time she grouped up with Honey and Cream to eat. It was calm to have them around; she had begun to miss talking to them. Still a thought came to mind and Amy's dozed off. Sonic was offering to take her out. Did that mean something? Because it meant something to her. Her feelings were blooming.
"So, what's been in it lately with you?" Honey asked concern. "You've been a little quiet today."
Amy flinched into reality and her head rose. "Have I?"
"Yea," She said running on the last vowel. "Did something bad happen?"
"No," Amy gasped. "No, not at all."
Cream raised and eyebrow. "You've been sort of closed these past few days."
Amy frowned and took a slip of her juice box. "I have had a lot on my mind. That is all really."
"Ooo, tell us!" Honey cheered happily.
Amy flinched shocked. "Tell you?"
"My mom always says to speak your mind. It's like weights being lifted off your shoulders," Honey said lifting her finger up into the air with a wink. "If it's bothering you, you have friends to hear you out."
She had a point, but was it really bothering her? Amy's cheeks were beyond red now and she could feel it. Amy lowered her head and Cream and Honey stared concerned. "I mean, I am not sure if it is bothersome. It is just a feeling. That is all."
"Feeling?" Cream parroted her voice distant.
"What do you mean?" Honey asked. "What are you getting too?"
Amy took a breath and blew the rest out towards her bangs. "I could be, possibly, wrong, but I think I may have developed feelings for Sonic."
Silence.
Amy didn't hear any remarks, feedback, nothing for a long while. Amy narrowed her eyes embarrassed. "Please, don't ask questions all at once," She said wistfully putting emphasis on her contraction.
Honey's mouth was wide opened, big eyed and the spork full of mash potatoes fell off her hand. Cream had the same expression but she composed her features once she realized they were in the middle of lunch time in the cafeteria. Cream shook her head to clear her expression and whispered. "Amy, say it isn't so,"
"I do not understand it myself." Amy said softly.
"You don't know what mess you could get yourself into." Cream said in horror.
"You have feelings for that jerk!" Honey spat.
Cream and Amy flinched and shushed her. Honey lowered her ears but kept her serious look at Amy. "You're crazy! You need to get over those feelings now!"
"Is it that awful to have feelings for him?" Amy whispered.
"No, it's beyond awful. It's horrible. You're going to get hurt if it continue." Honey hissed.
Amy's eyes widened. "Hurt?"
Honey looked around to see if anyone was looking or listening and when the cost was clear she glared at her and leaned in closer. "There are so many girls after him right now. If you get close to him girls will start picking at you and what's worst is you're blind! He could also notice you're interested and you know what, Sonic won't care. He'll leave you to dust. He won't defend you or anyone…."
Amy frowned frightened.
"At the end he never cares."
Amy swallowed. It was a hard swallow. She could feel sweat running down her forehead. "I see, but my feelings are probably temporary. "
"I hope so," Honey said crossing her arms her face softening. "I sure hope so…"
Honey's words were eating her away. Who knew having feelings for someone in particular was so scary, but maybe she was right. Maybe it was temporary. She barely even knew Sonic to be able to like him already. Maybe she just liked his company. It was fun, but then again he was a jerk, and she didn't like that side of him. Amy shook her head and folded her arms.
Amy waited in front of the school that afternoon on a bench. She'd been waiting for a while now, but being lost in thought she didn't pay attention to it. The feeling of anxiety and excitement both haunted her and the idea of having some sort of an interest in Sonic drove her nuts unlike anything before.
She shivered with the small amount of wind that blew. Her arms wrapped around her torso. She was getting close to Sonic, that much was true, but why was she growing feelings for him? Did that mean he was growing feelings for her too? Doubtful. He didn't act as such, but did that mean because he was good at hiding his feelings and emotions?
Amy sighed.
She was thinking too much.
Her head rose in sensing footsteps stop in front of her. A hopeful smile plastered on her muzzle. "Sonic, is that you?"
There was a small giggle. "No,"—Amy's eyes went round—"And I don't think he's coming either."
"Sally," Amy whispered horrified, questioning. How was she here? What was she here for? Amy stood up staggering to the side, but her hands found their way to the bench's seat and stabled herself.
Sally had a bright red tank top with leggings on and bright red lipsticks which made her standout. Sally smirked and sat on the bench next to where Amy stood. "The fear in your eyes is tempting. Sadly I didn't come here to harm a blind girl,"
Amy's muscles relaxed and she stood still without moving. "Really?" She questioned suspicious, "What brings you to me?"
Sally's eyes rotated to her victim with her smirk still lingering. "I saw how alone you were, waiting around for a guy that won't even come. I thought I'd give you company for a while."
"I do not understand," Amy muttered.
Sally shifted her body to face to the side where Amy was standing. "You're waiting for Sonic. He's supposed to take you out afterschool."
"How would you know this?" Amy asked curiously.
Sally grinned. "I have my ways," Sally leaned back. "But see how he's not here."
Amy frowned and moved slowly to sit down on the edge of the bench. "He will come," She said confidently.
Sally's blue eyes shimmered and her teeth glint. "He forgot. He made plans with another chick and forgot about this."
"Now, why should I believe what you are claiming?" Amy questioned tilting her head. Sally could be lying. This could be some sort of trick to hurt her. Hurt…
"Because that's not the first time he's done something like this." Sally said. She looked at her nails.
Hurt…
"No, maybe he was asked for help and is running late−"
Hurt….
"I saw it Amy," Sally hissed pestered.
Hurt…
"He already left," Sally added.
Amy's hands clenched. She lowered her head and her quills fell covering her face. Sally could sense her disappointment and she kept her grin. Sally got up and faced her. "I could see you like him,"
Amy flinched in place.
"It's not worth chasing him. You'll get hurt,"
Hurt…
Amy raised her head stunned. Her eyes empty but Amy kept a smiled. "I believe he has a good heart, but I only view him as a friend."
Sally's grin vanished and an ugly frown took place. She shook her head annoyed. "You keep doing that."
Sally turned her heels away and walked off. Without a goodbye, without a warning. Amy was left alone on a bench. Amy gasped for air. She knew that was pure ignorance that came out of her mouth, but she couldn't help it. She wanted to believe he was a good mobians and he was…at times, but that gave hope. Amy stood up comprehending, knowing Sonic would not come. Maybe Sonic forgot, she kept telling herself. Or the girl was all over him that he couldn't say no. It was understandable. She took out her white cane and that's when the first tear came out, falling down to the pavement.
Hey! What does that tell you about Sonic and how Amy feels? I'm excited because this is only the beginning of what might come soon. Please review you guy :D I want to hear what you guys have to say ;D
Until Weeks Pass!
