Sonic's POV!

Wanna know the advantages of living next to your girlfriend? You get to see her whenever you want. Just look out the window, unless her curtains are closed. You get to tell her everything, anytime. You get to talk to her... be with her.

This morning, we were talking about college. That's what was on my mind today. Amy told me that... she might me studying out of country.

I can't accept that.

I probably sound selfish right now. But it's still not approved. Just the thought of her being away from me, breaks my heart.

It's still pretty early to think about, but these are the anxiety attacks I have. I've watched movies. I know what happens. The girl goes away, couldn't handle the long distanced relationship, and then everything goes wrong.

But dammit Sonic! I caged my face in my hands, trying to shoo away the negative thoughts, hoping to wake up from this horrible nightmare. That's when I heard a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked, unmoving. I heard a feminine voice. Not my mother's, but my sister's.

"Sonic? You okay in there?" she asked quietly.

"Y–yeah, I'm fine." I replied. She gave me a look that says she didn't believe me, but left me alone anyway. I don't even know why I'm thinking this. Maybe it was because of that movie I watched recently?

I need air.

Grabbing my skateboard, I went outside my house to cool off. Every minute glancing at Amy's house. She wasn't home. She was at her cousin's birthday party. I rode my skateboard taking a few glides, feeling the air against me.

This felt like freedom. Like rubbing around the world, which everyone knows I love. Anything with speed actually catches my attention. Running, flying, surfing, skateboarding and more. The only slow thing I ever loved was getting Amy.

They say love is timeless. Then why am I here counting days, months, years I'll have before everything goes away?!

'What if I promised myself to think about what's best for her?' I thought, stopping as I saw their car park in their driveway. My heart fluttered when I saw Amy's face from the car window.

Her family shot me a smile and waved as they got out of the car. Amy was the last to get out. Her eyes sparkled when she saw me, a smile creeping into her face as she approached me. I smiled back at her as I got off the board and walked over to her.

"Hey..." she said with a smile.

"Yeah, hey to you too." I said with a fake smile, but she was able to see through.

"Everything alright?" she asked in a concerned tone.

"Yeah, why?" I asked with a confused look.

"You seem a little... out of space." Amy giggled slightly as she looked at me.

Even with a smile plastered on her face, I knew that deep down she was still worrying about me. I hugged her waist and kissed her forehead. I looked down on her face, not wanting to let this tight hug go.

"Wanna hang out?" seeing the smirk on my face calmed her down a bit, lessening her worries.

Her gaze softened as she giggled. "Sonic, I would love to. But, we have school tomorrow, you idiot." she teased.

"Ouch, did you just call me an idiot?" I muttered with a hurt tone.

"You know I think you're that smartest guy on Mobius." she smiled.

"Okay, stop lying." I chuckled as we both laughed. Our laughter ceased, however, when my mom called me for dinner. Turning to Amy, I asked, "Can you at least join us for dinner?"

The look on her face says it all. "Sure, if it's not any trouble..." she trailed off shyly, a blush forming on her cheeks.

I chuckled and wrapped an arm around her, kissing her cheeks for being so adorable. "Oh come on, since when are you trouble?"

Amy only giggled and followed me to my house.

Amy's POV!

Here we are, seated at the table where I once felt awkward around Mike. But now it's different. I feel really accepted.

I already texted my mom that I was going to have dinner with Sonic and she said it was okay for me to. I was talking to Sonia when Aleena asked me a question.

"So Amy, how's school?" she smiled.

"Well, it's going great! Our finals are this week so I have to study up." I beamed.

(A/N: My End of Term Tests are tomorrow... and we only have two days of vacation! No Summer!)

"Well, that's good." she offered me a genuine smile, her eyes drifting to Sonic. "Maybe you can help Sonic with physics?"

I looked over at Sonic who was sitting next to me and smirked. "Maybe I will." I teased. He just rolled his eyes playfully and continued to chew his food, avoiding my glance –which I thought was weird as I grew worried for him.

"Well, Amy... you're the only chance Sonic has for passing." Scourge teased.

Sonic frowned at his brothers statement. "Haha. Very. Funny."

"I think Sonic's smart." I defended making Manic choke on his food as little and looked at me in playful shock.

"Sonic? Sonic the Hedgehog? As in my brother?" Manic chortled.

I married my eyes at the two green hedgehog but they only smiled at me. I looked at Sonic and found him playing with his food. Looking at his family, I said, "It's true. He could make the top ten, actually."

"Oh, I know he can." Aleena said as everyone looked at Sonic.

"I'm done." Sonic stated, avoiding everyone's gaze as he grabbed his plate and placed it on the sink, walked away from the dining area and up to his room. Mike and Aleena gave their sons stern looks.

"What?" Scourge asked.

"We were joking." Manic said.

"What was that about?" Sonia asked.

"Maybe I should talk to him." I suggested, trying to stand up when Aleena stopped me.

"It's okay, let me handle this."

Sonic's POV!

I was in my balcony, my place of comforts. I needed some air. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea why I was so offended by their words. My ears perked up when I heard someone enter my room.

I sighed. "Look, I'll be down in a minute." I said, turning around to see my mother. "O–oh, hey mom."

Aleena only smiled at me and came close to me. Once she was near me, she leaned against the balcony like I did. "What's on your mind, Sonic?" she asked.

Perfect question. What's on my mind? I can't really reply by saying its 90% Amy Rose and 10% others.

"Nothing much..." I mumbled.

She rolled her eyes. "I've taken care of you for years. I think I'd know when you're upset." she said. This is why I hate confessing to my mom. She knows everything about me. I felt her eyes on me as I tried avoiding them. "Is this about not being smart?"

"No." I stated.

"Because we all know how much you've improved. Amy's right, you can make the too ten."

"Mom, even if I made the top ten, my grades still aren't as good as Amy's." I sighed.

"So? You don't need to be equal to Amy. You've already showed us so much improvement." she smiled.

"Mom," I paused. "I think she's going to apply to Mobius Academy." I blurted out.

(A/N: Couldn't think of any school names anymore...)

"I see..." she muttered as I looked at her.

"Mom, I can't reach that." I cried out.

"Honey, you don't have to." she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"But I want to. Not just because Amy's there, but it's also a big thing for me." I explained as her gaze softened.

"So that's why you're so sensitive about your grades?" she asked.

"I just don't need to be reminded all the time." I said, looking down.

"There are other schools, but it's up to you. Take the chance to Mobius Academy. Think about it. If you really want to study there, then I'll let you." mom encouraged.

I looked away from her. "Mom, you can't afford that. Amy will get a scholarship."

"Just shut up and please think it through." she teased, hitting me upside the head softly. "Dessert is served downstairs." she smiled as I rubbed my head. I watched as she turned towards leave but stopped to tell me one last thing. "Oh and, me and your father went to the same college." she said, leaving as I froze and nodded at her statement.

"Note taken." Stupid emotions!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me: I. Need. Motivation.

Y/N: *ignores author's note*

Me: I'm being serious here. I think I want to quit writing.

Sonic/Amy: ...

Me: Um... that's all for how guys.
