Chapter 2: HLS First Grade
6 happy years had passed ever since Sonic was born. Today was Sonic's birthday,
and, coincidentally, his first day of first grade.
His last birthdays were very happy ones. Mya and John had bought a tasty cake
costing 50 Rings saying "Happy Birthday Sonic" on it every year, and there was also a
party. Due to the party, he had made many friends even before preschool.
Sonic's school was HLS First Grade, and he was looking forward to it.
"Bye, Dad!" Sonic said, and he put on a show of speed as he burst to the door
with all his equipment on him;his backpack, his shoes, and his socks. His backpack had
his pencils and his lunch.
"Now, now, Sonic, no need to get too fast." said John.
"Too fast? Going fast is natural to me!" said Sonic.
John laughed. Mya, who had just came out of the kitchen, said "Bye John! I'm
taking Sonic to his first day of school! Looking forward to it, Sonic?"
"Yeah, Mom! How long will it take?"
"In our HedgeVan 264, precisely 10 minutes and 12 seconds."
"Oh, come on, Mom! I can run faster than that!"
"Maybe you can, but our van can't." Mya chuckled. "Your speed is precisely 12
miles per hour, and I'm sure that's past the legal speed limit."
"So I have to run slower?"
"No, Sonic, the van has to run slower than you."
"Oh."
The two of them got into the HedgeVan 264. In 10 minutes and 13 seconds the
van arrived at HLS First Grade.
"Mom! It took one more second then you said it would!"
"Well, sometimes precise measurements can be wrong."
"Oh well." Sonic said, and he rushed into the Preschool. "Bye Mom!"
Mya hardly had time to say "Bye Sonic!"
