Y'all!
So this time I'll be doing something a little different. I'll still be putting up mainly Knuxikal stuff but in this one as I have mentioned in the summary, it will be ten chapters with a pairing in each of them. I felt that I needed to diversify more instead of having just our echidna couple having the reins so these will be several one-shots of each of the other pairings.
Normally I tend to stay away from high school fics because of how cliché and tropey they are which I won't explain, but I decided to give it a shot on my part lol. They will be one shots so it won't be full on stories for the pairings: just some moments they have in school so yeah.
Anyway here's the first one so hope you enjoy! ^u^

Forgetful: Sonamy
"Crap I'm gonna be late to school!"
A loud panicked voice shouted in the air as an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog bolted out his home and started running towards the sidewalk to the now departing school bus. Green eyes widened in alarm, seeing the large yellow vehicle run on all cylinders and leaving the usual stop that he takes every day.
Today is one of those days that he wakes up late due to forgetting to set his alarm clock.
'Dangit! Well they don't call me Sonic for nothing!' he mentally thought with a grin. At school he was known as captain of the cross country/track team, a position he highly valued as there were no other that can match his speed… well almost no other. A certain black hedgehog made sure his title was threatened and the Blue Blur himself, as he is also called by, ensures he trains well enough to keep his title.
They usually end in a tie during their races but the coach has a soft spot for Sonic, awarding him the role while his rival broods silently. That doesn't mean the latter gives up however.
Sonic ran through the neighborhood and took a shortcut, going through a small alley at breakneck speeds. His endurance was one to behold as only minor breathing was being let out, his blue backpack giving him some weight but other than that didn't drag him down as it bounced up and down behind him. Wearing a white hoodie with a running shoe logo with wings on it and slim blue pants with red and white shoes with a golden lock, the blue hedgehog sprinted through the alley while avoiding several garbage cans and some cats and dogs that swerved around him.
A fence came up to him which blocked the other side of the alley, but that didn't deter Sonic. Shining green eyes watched in confidence with the same grin as he ran faster, his feet becoming a blur with each step pounding on the pavement.
Upon approaching it he jumped up and clutched onto the top of the fence, doing a front flip to the other side and landing on his feet momentarily before taking off again.
"Piece of cake!" he said to himself just as he caught sight of the bus approaching the school he attended. Stopping near the entrance and now taking an easy walk he breathed out in relief knowing he wasn't late.
'Next time Sonic, set an alarm clock to remind yourself to set an alarm clock hehe.' the Blue Blur thought as the large letters of the school in front of him came into view: Mobius High.
His eyes scanned the area near the entrance to see several others chatting with one another in groups. He was looking for a particular set of people, having known them almost his whole life yet for some reason he couldn't find them.
…
… until he was caught in a chokehold by a large red arm wrapped around his neck.
"ACK! KNUCKLES!" Sonic wheezed out trying to pry off the arm only to hear laughter coming from one of the people he knew. The person obliged afterwards and Sonic took deep breaths to compose himself as he looked back irritably. There standing in front of him was a red echidna smirking at him cockily. "That was for smacking my back while I was drinking soda you moron." Knuckles said.
"Well you didn't have to choke me like that Knucklehead! I swear I'm gonna-!"
"Morning Sonic!" another voice introduced themselves. Sonic's anger evaporated immediately as he smiled widely turning around. There standing was his other best buddy, a yellow fox with twin tails as they ran towards the Blue Blur. "How's everything!"
"Morning Tails! And you know, just woke up late hehe." Sonic replied as the two high fived.
"Good to hear! Anyway let's go now, class is about to start!" Tails bolted off as he waved back at Sonic and Knuckles. "Talk to you guys later!"
"Yeah hedgehog, we better head off so see ya!" Knuckles followed suit running right after the kitsune.
"That fast huh? Hehe alright I'll see you two at lunch!" Sonic's eyes then widened at the word. Apparently just that reminded him of another thing.
He forgot his lunch.
"Dangit I forgot to pack my food!" the blue hedgehog sighed dejectedly afterward. "Well hopefully today's lunch won't be that bad… I mean yesterday's soup did not look good."
"S-Sonic?"
Emerald eyes widened upon hearing that. His feet were instantly ready to bolt, but for some reason they didn't. Just hearing that voice once he was already hightailing away… though today was different as he remained frozen.
His head did turn however as green orbs watched another set of green orbs.
Near him stood a pink hedgehog. Her expression was one of happiness and joy, yet it was also mixed with a bit of nervousness with her hands behind her back. Rosy quills ran down her head held by a red headband. She wore a red long-sleeved sweatshirt with a black skirt and red and white boots. A pink messenger bag with keychains rested on her shoulders completing her look.
The wind blew through her quills gently with the rising sun behind her giving off a glow to her form, her smile more radiant.
'W-What the-?! W-When was s-she…' Sonic couldn't think straight. Even then he doesn't when it comes to her.
One of his fans.
Well, obsessive fan.
The one and only Amy Rose.
Everyday she would follow him and try to declare her love to him, usually embarrassing him to the point that he just tries his best to avoid her. In class she is at least decent and pays attention, but outside of the classroom she would always be with his group and drag her own friends along as well. Her friends were more tolerable, but the pink hedgehog herself was literally lovestruck with him and it annoyed him to no end.
He couldn't be angry at her however, apparently just wanting to be left alone with his own friends. Tails and Knuckles usually tease him for it but the Blue Blur brushes it off even when Amy does try to flirt with him. All in all Sonic tries his best to avoid her when they're at school.
…
But today it's different.
Every day he gets tackled or bearhugged by the pink hedgehog… but today she didn't. When she does catch him she would try to kiss his lips while he struggled… but today she didn't.
Today was the opposite.
Sonic was in awe at her appearance.
'Has she always been this cute…?' he mentally said.
Amy continued to watch him happily, taking the first approach as she walked up to him, hands still behind her. Sonic noticed that she was a bit smaller than him with the top of her head reaching his chin. He didn't mind it for some reason, her height making her look adorable.
Sonic himself wouldn't admit this… just as he wouldn't admit that he does feel some infatuation for the girl in front of him. He was scared to do so which is why he keeps it a secret.
The pink hedgehog's smile widened after a few seconds. "Good morning Sonic."
Her words made the blue hedgehog's heart flutter, ears twitching at her serene voice. "U-Uh hey Amy… how's it going?"
"Oh you know, just going to school like everyone else. You?" she replied.
"Hehe you know me, doing the same thing except I forgot to set my alarm." Sonic sheepishly grinned scratching his head.
Amy shook her head giggling. "You silly hedgehog heehee. I can probably tell you forgot your lunch too right?"
"N-No I didn't!" Sonic retorted quickly. Amy wasn't fazed but she continued to smile. "It's okay Sonic, I know you well enough that you are forgetful. I mean you do everything quickly that even the small things leave your mind."
Sonic watched her in awe for a few seconds then letting out a sigh. "Well I guess you're right. It's kind of creepy that you know that much about me when I don't much about you… but then again I do run away from you."
Amy's expression saddened upon hearing this, tears threatening to spill. "I-It's okay S-Sonic, y-you don't need to worry…"
'Okay what the heck idiot don't make her cry!' Sonic thought quickly waving his hands frantically. "N-Not that I don't mind though Amy! It's great to know that someone likes me hehe!"
The pink hedgehog sniffed once and laughed softly. "And I'll continue to show it no matter what Sonic, even if you run. Anyway since I know you would've forgotten… here." Amy brought her hands upfront from her back to reveal a wrapped container with a red bow on top. Sonic's eyes widened at this as he saw two handmade chilidogs within the clear container.
"Y-You did this for me…" he said astonished.
"Yeah, I-I hope this will fill you up during lunch…" she muttered quietly looking at the ground flustered.
Sonic slowly raised his hands towards the container and grabbed it.
His hands brushed against hers as they both gasped at the contact. Emerald eyes met olive ones, staring at one another for several seconds until they looked away quickly with a blush on their face.
"U-Um… thanks Amy."
"Y-Yeah, no p-problem Sonic…"
Sonic breathed a few times then turned, watching Amy still shyly look away.
This gave him some courage and he decided to go for it, blushing intensely.
"So um, wanna walk to class with me? And after that, d-do you want to share this with me…?"
…
Amy's eyes widened all the way as her hands reached up to her mouth to cover it. Her mind was going a million miles an hour, very surprised at what Sonic just said to her. The blue hedgehog stood there scratching his cheek with a finger, the same charming grin on his face that she grew to love over the years she has known him. Her heart sped rapidly as she felt it may burst out of her chest.
She composed herself however as she drew in a deep breath and exhaling afterwards, a calm smile on her face. "I would love to Sonic."
The Blue Blur nodded once in delight and the pair walked inside the school, happily talking to one another.
Sonic has realized one thing in the end.
Sometimes it's good to be forgetful… because there will always be another person to help you remember.
Fin.
Alright that's the first one! Like I said they will be brief one-shots but I will cover ten pairings throughout so there will be more school-related things lol. Some of the pairings you may already know if you read my bio but others I have not mentioned yet and will keep them a secret, so stay tuned!
Aside from that til next time as well! ouo/
