I Knew You Were Trouble- Taylor Swift

Chapter 2: Hidden Fear

Not long before the school had ended, Amy found herself rushing down each passing student, late. She reached the doors and pushed passed the mobians who had opened the door of the school's buildings. She managed to find a small opening in between each student and get out of school she looked around but her eyes caught who she was trying to find at an instant. She smirked evilly at the girls whom looked at her in the vehicle once she had spotted them. She rushed quickly over to the car and hoped onto the car's front seat. "I'm here," she huffed.

Sally laughed, "Finally,"

Her hand went to the wheel while the other went for the lever. The girls, whom sat in the back and with Amy in the front seat, strapped themselves with the seatbelt and the car began moving. Sally moved the lever down and she smirked. "Ready girls?"

All the girls but Bunny replied with a 'yea' and they were off down the street in the car.

Inside the school, Cream was looking at the car where her friend had left on. She saw her face as she was moving away in the car. A frown of some sort come upon her face, not staying there to long until it turned up into a disappointed half-smile. Until she was out of her sight she sighed and shook her head in disappointment. A two-tailed fox came by her side and he instantly saw her sad features. "What's wrong?" he asked.

She faced up to him and offered a convincing smile. "What? Nothing, just looking out seeing people leave." She lied.

He smiled and grabbed her hand. "You want to head over to my house? Ravioli's on me." He offered.

Cream nodded politely and he turned around. "Yo, Sonic hurry up!"

Cream put on her worried look again as she quickly glanced back out into the distance where the car was. Turning back to Tails she saw Sonic coming out from a group of his friends. She gasped noticing she hadn't thanked Tails. "Thank you Tails," she added on to her nod.

Sonic walked up to the two and waved at Cream then to his pal, shook hands. "Cream's coming over?"

"Yea, she's eating with us for dinner." Tails announced.

Sonic shrugged and winked at Cream. "Well then, you're going to have fun with us aren't ya," he teased in a friendly way. Cream cheerily laughed and wrapped her arm around Tails' hand. "Yes I am. Come on then both of you. I'm hungry." She said trying to get a little sound into her voice. Tails made a face at her and dragged her to the gate. "I'm driving." He announced and Sonic took out a pair of car keys and threw them to him. Tails caught them in his hand in one shot, taking a hold of the car's unlocker.

.:XxX:.

The day grew dark and cold after a long hour. It was late spring and yet, the weather was cold. Amy shivered as she approached her house. Once Sally dropped everyone home after a day at downtown Amy was exhausted. She got out her key out and inserts it in the lock. She turned the key and the door unlocked. She turned the knob and opened the door to her house. Her house was quiet and dark. All the lights were off and she closed the door enclosing her vision with darkness. She turned on the lights and it illumed the living room. She threw her bag on the side and walked to her kitchen. She turned on the lights on her kitchen and went to get some water inside the refrigerator.

She chugged down her water peacefully but a knock interrupted her. She almost choked on her water startled that someone was knocking on her door. Her face paled and her heart began beating fast. She placed her water on her counter and ran out the kitchen to the door.

"Who is it?" she asked, trying to keep her voice in control.

"It's me Amy."

Relief overcame her and she let out all the stressing air. She opened the door. "Cream," she sighed out.

Cream was standing in the doorway smiling gaily to see her friend. She had something on her hands wrapped in some kind of cloth, with food inside. "I'd thought you'd be home by now,"

Amy nervously chuckled and looked around nervously. "Yea, I just got home."

"I'm happy you're back safely. Hey, I had dinner leftovers and I came to give this to you," She handed out a container full of pasta in it. Amy blinked and grabbed it without saying anything. "Here, I can't help but worry about you and your mom." She claimed.

Amy felt her heart clench, throbbing in aching pain and fear. It was a sudden 'come and go' reaction so she smiled to her friend without any effect. "Aw, thanks Cream. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for always looking out for me."

Cream giggled but soon stopped. "Umm…Where's your mom?" she asked trying to look behind Amy, but Amy stood her ground blocking Cream from entering the house.

"I'm not sure. She's not back yet. Maybe she'll come late like always." Amy shrugged.

"Gosh," Cream muttered to the side. "A hard working lady," she turned to Amy and smiled widely. "Do you need company?"

"No," Amy's voice was stern and direct.

Taken aback, Cream moved backwards. Amy did feel bad to have rushed her voice at her, but she couldn't help it. She did it without wanting too. "You need to go home. It's late and I don't want you to get hurt out there. Crazy people." She told her, changing the subject quickly.

Cream's mouth was open slightly from confusion and her brows were bending. Amy smiled at her and went to hug her. "Thanks for the food. I owe you one." She backed away and Cream nodded turning away and going down the front porch. She went down the steps and Amy smiled seeing her turn around and walk down the pavement. Once she was satisfied she left Amy closed the door and sighed turning her back against the door, her head being pressed hard on the door's hard and cold wood.

"I'm sorry Cream," she muttered.

She stared down at the food container for a moment and titter thinking how nice a person could be to her. "Dinner's served," she told herself and walked to the kitchen again.

As days went by, spring was turning into summer and sophomore year was already ending. School had gotten extra hard due to finals but it ended quickly and most of the students passed their big exams. Everything was going smoothly and as usual for Amy Rose. Nothing was going wrong or to a turn. It was the last day of school, finally, and classes had ended. Amy was going to go home early because she thought it be nice to relax from the outside world for once and it was true. She would sometimes spend too much time with her friends and less time at home and beside she was stressed out through all the hard work she went and all she needed was sleep. She reached outside school, the fresh air rushing down her body giving her a bit of a shiver but she shrugged it off. As she walked, her head automatically bend down, her mind cutting off all laughter around her as always and her mind dozed off trying to block it that she didn't really pay attention to where she was going. She bumped shoulders with a girl throwing the victim off balance.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" the tiger girl viciously spoke acid to Amy's ears.

Amy gave a death glance back, "Why don't you?"

She had her boyfriend side-hugging her, a big crocodile with large golden chains hanging down his neck. He listened without much interest as his girl let go of him and took a step forward. "I already was. Don't start problems with me!"

"I never intended too. If it weren't for your boyfriend here distracting you, you would've seen me." Amy pointed out in a matter-a-factly.

The tiger's hazel eyes burn with rage and huffed, "Bitch please,"

Amy's eyes furrowed, she felt calm and didn't really feel the need to fight this weak people. It did anger her that she thought she was stronger and special that she had to be respected by everyone. Those kind of people disgusted her, but all she really wanted was sleep. "You're not even worth it," She turned around.

"Girl, get back here," the voice wasn't the girl, but a man's. She paused and twirled around seeing the crocodile coming her way. At that moment fear entered her heart but she kept calm.

"You aren't just going to leave my girl without apologizing." He growled his hand clenching down at her wrist.

'Lame' Amy thought, 'some boyfriend you are,'

"Let go of me," Amy said, her features calm yet threating. The guy's eyes narrowed and he leaned forward. It took her a while to realize that he wasn't as lame as she thought. He looked angry and she couldn't really do anything to a buff guy that was holding her wrist and looked as if he were to attack at any moment. She cursed to herself for letting her get in a position like this. Now she could only plead that he'd eventually let her go.

"Vector,"

The crocodile turned around as did everyone who had begun to crowd around. Amy eyes widened in bewilder. Sonic approached them causally but was sending scold looks to him. He didn't look at her but went to her side. "Are you really going to put yourself into a position like this? Trying to harm such a delicate flower." He began. The mention of her being 'delicate' made her angry. "I mean C'mon," He leaned closer to him, "Handling a girl like that in front of everyone. Even your girlfriend?" he added smugly.

That's when Vector let go of her wrist and Amy could pull away. The amount of force he had used to hold her wrist had made finger marks. She rubbed her wrist as Sonic took a quick peek at her, a smirk rising from the corner of his lip.

"She's causing trouble. The rat she already is." The tiger bitterly growled. "Why are you defending her?!"

Amy scoffed sucking her breath in, but Sonic stepped in front of her. Amy flinched backwards in despise. "I don't know if that's smart to say, Eruka." Sonic slyly insulted her. "I hear you get into a lot of trouble yourself."

Vector blushed but shook his head and went back to her side. "Let's go Eruka." He said, grabbing her hand.

"What!" exclaimed the tiger in utter shock that he was going to just ignore the whole thing.

Sonic's hand wrapped around Amy's shoulder making her tense and her teeth clench. The students that had crowded around gasped and whispered to each other when his arm went around her. "I'll be taking her now. Sorry if she bothered you. See you around you two," He cheerfully announced and he turned Amy around along with him and they both walked away leaving the couple and the people behind.

"What?" she breathed out.

Sonic turned around a corner and they walked down a quiet area down the school "Aren't you a trouble maker." He slyly began turning to her.

Amy used her hands to push at Sonic's chest and get him off her. They stopped walking. "Hey," he muttered just as she angrily started at him, "Don't touch me,"

Sonic blinked strangely at her. "Whoa, you're a feisty one." He said, smirking at her.

A vein popped out on her forehead hearing this. "Don't you dare," she hissed with pauses in her words and her finger pointing up at his face.

Sonic raised one eye brow. "Relax, I was only trying to help." He admitted, raising his hands in a defense position.

"I didn't need your help. I could've handled that myself." She said her voice calming down.

Sonic crossed his arms and chuckled but it died down to seriousness. "Yea, I bet you would've. You couldn't even get him off you."

Amy was going to burst with protests but stopped herself and replaced it with a bitterly chuckled looking to the side. She shook her head and saw the people that were leaving out the gates to the streets. Such a big commotion for a shoulder bump, she thought. When did the world start to go wrong? She rolled her eyes and looked over at him. "Look, thanks for wasting my time, kid, but I have to go." She made her words sound as bitter as possible. She didn't want to stick around to get to know him; she had other matters to attend to. She was going to walk past him but then something stopped her dead in tracks.

"It's Sonic,"

Her breath hitched hearing such positive tone he held even after she had dissed him. She turned her head a little to see him smiling at her. To her horror it was a weak smile, but he was trying to be friendly with her and she saw it. "My name is Sonic," he repeated with a more eager tone.

She couldn't tell if he was playing with her mind or trying to be nice to her, because of his smile, she felt stuck on what to do next. She stared emotionlessly at him eyeing his smile. A soft clean smile and she for that moment looked hesitant. Sonic thought for a moment she looked a little innocent scared girl, but her expression closed before he could tell it was her being scared. Once she got her the strength to move again she reluctantly, without saying anything, faced away from him making him frown and walk away from him.

Sonic was left quizzically standing there as she was moving farther and farther away from him. "Wait!" he called out for her, but she kept on walking like if his voice was a mere wind blow. His voice trapped in the kelps of the sea, never to have reached any real place to be heard. Just like that, she turned around not looking back once.

"Uh," his voice cracked out of the surprise. She didn't even bother to say thank you or most importantly her name. Sonic rolled his eyes with a smirk. She was different sensing from her form of attitude. Most girls would act so respectfully after meeting him. Why didn't she? He walked the same way she had but stopped and looked around. There were fewer people now and the sun was almost down. It was getting late and he hadn't finished what he had meant to have started because of this commotion. He winced and then sped out from school leaving a trial of blue behind.

.:XxX:.

She walked down the street quickly, passing by each store. Her heart was racing from the experience she had encountered. Sonic. That boy ticked her off just by trying to go easy on her, saving her life and being nice.

Amy paused her thoughts. Saved her life? Her life wasn't even at stake. She could've handled it on her own without his help. It was her fault for not speaking up when he was there doing it for her. Thinking more and more about it made her feel weak. Weak letting a guy do all the work for her.

"Argh, who does he think he is?" she angrily said. She took grip of her backpack's straps and began stomping. A few mobians nearby looked up and nervously looked at her. "Trying to be nice to me—like I need his friendship!" her fist tightened her hand being squished under her glove. "I don't need any boy's friendship!"

By the time she got to her neighborhood it was dark. The sky was a light blue to the west with the south turning dark blue along with a black. The light posts along the sidewalk turned on. Her street was quiet. There was rarely any noise around. The only noise she heard was her foot steps and her breathing. Do to all the thinking of that guy she tried to avoid so much, her heart was beating anxiously. She needed to go home and shower since she was taking double shift tonight. The thought of taking double shift stressed her out, but it was work and she had to take that responsibility.

As she approached the end sidewalk she looked both ways to see if any cars were coming. There weren't any, but along the other side of the sidewalk there was someone coming. Amy raised her eyebrow confused to why there was someone walking around late at dusk. It was rare to find mobians around her area walking around at night.

As the mobian approached into the light post Amy's eyes widened to see this familiar stranger around her neighborhood.

Sonic had one hand dug into his sweater pockets and was looking at his cellphone with the other. Until he got under the light he placed in his cell phone and looked up. Amy standing there looking at him, flinched with a shock look. He had spotted her and Amy shook her head and quickly hiding her features under the darkness and away from the light, but it was too late.

Sonic blinked but then recognized her. "Oh hey, it's you!" he called out, a smiling arousing.

She was frozen in spot. He was crossing the street. Why was here? How did he find her? Was he following her? Questions like these automatically made her brain think for the worst. He reached her side and he stopped, to wonder to himself why was hiding herself in the dark.

Before Sonic could get a chance to greet her and ask her questions, she talked over him, "Are you following me?" she asked angrily coming out back into the light.

He paused. "What? No, I'm heading home," he said simply stopping in front of her. Amy took a step back, cautiously.

"So you're suggesting its coincidence?" she scoffed, crossing her arms.

"Well, yea, I mean I live around here so I can say—"

"Wait," she interrupted him. "You live around here?" She could hear the worry in her tone. How could he have lived around here when she hadn't seen him once?

Sonic nodded out into the distance. "Just around the next street, there's an orange window house." He turned back to her. "It's not too far from here." He explained.

Amy huffed, closing her eyes and thought to herself that she was one blind person. Sonic lived around her area and she never got a sight on this. This was definitely not her day.

"Hey," he began catching her attention. She opened her eyes and found him smiling again. "I never got your name."

"My name," Inside Amy, she felt panic. What if she didn't want to tell him her name, but then again he was asking politely. Amy stayed quiet the whole time, in her head fighting against telling him or not. Sonic was only staring at her waiting for her to speak, but she never even tried to.

Sonic laughed, "Ok, you don't have to tell me your name. It'll be a mystery." He recovered himself and got next to her. "I'll walk you home then."

Amy shook her head. "No,"

"No?" he asked, disappointed for a moment. "Hey, I won't bite. Trust me." He cheerfully said.

Amy stepped backwards to the darkness. "I can walk to my house by myself." She said defensively.

Sonic followed her footsteps and was able to get her hand. Amy gasped and was going to throw a punch, but Sonic dodged it easily as if it was nothing. He let go of her hand and put his hands up in an 'I surrender' mode. "Hey girl, calm down. You're acting like I'm going to harm you." He said, hitting a little bit of annoyance, but he was more concern than annoyed.

"You should leave me alone." She told him in a low warning tone.

Sonic sighed and smirked at her. "Ok, I'll leave you alone, but for now." He said walking off ahead of her. Amy felt steam coming out of her ears. She hated the way he said that, acting confident to seeing her again.

Sonic turned around. "But you should at least tell me your name." he said, a sad frown.

Amy nervously stared at him for a moment and then she averted to the side. She walked into the light and there he saw her serious face. She opened her mouth a little and slightly tried to say the first letter of her name, but it all came out at once. Unable to control her voice as well, it blurred out into stutters. "A-A-Am-Amy,"

"Amy," he repeated, adding somewhat of a rhyme to it. A tone that send cold shivers down Amy's back. "Then I hope to see you around Amy. Later." He waved at her and walked away, crossing the street and heading down to her neighborhood again. He became a moving shadowy figure as he got farther and farther away from her.

Amy released the air she had been holding. Her hand went to her heart and she took a deep breath of fresh air. 'What did I do? What did I say?'

She didn't know for how long she had held her breath, but that boy was the cause of this. The biggest thing she couldn't believe was she even told him her name. The move she made was almost a trusting move. Regretting what she did, she cursed under her breath and looked down closing her eyes. She controlled her breathing and started to walk the same way Sonic had, but very slowly hoping she wouldn't catch up with him. It was the end of the school year, so she didn't really have much to worry about, but if he did live nearby like he said he did then she would have to be careful where she would go so she wouldn't meet him accidently again. She didn't want to deal with a boy, especially this one.

Sooo?! Whatcha ya'll think?

There isn't must cuteness in it but its a start to it right?

Next chapter there's going to be a few changes to little Amy's live so please follow and review please ;D
