Chapter 3: Hidden Talents

Chorin looked at Amy, then looked behind him, then looked at Amy again. "You're talking to me?" Chorin asked her, pointing to himself. "Of course I am silly. Who did you think I was talking to?" Amy said, giggling a little. "Now settle down Ms. Rose. Now class, if you remember our lesson yesterday, we left off on the start of the American Mobian treaty…" While Mr. Rugsby droned on, Chorin had already taken out a notebook and pencil and was writing down everything Mr. Rugsby was saying while Amy could barely stay awake. Just as she was about to doze off, the bell rung, snapping her out of her stupor. She stood up and stretched while yawning. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Rocky and Jim talking to Chorin, then lead him away somewhere. Since it was there 15-minute break, Amy decided to tail them. She followed the three out behind the school where she hid behind a dumpster while peeking around the corner of said dumpster.

Sounds echoed quite nicely out here, so Amy could easily hear what Rocky was saying to Chorin. "Now look hear 'wolfy', we know that you got some money for us right?" "Sorry," Chorin said to him, "But the only money I have is for my lunch." "Well then, we'll us have to take that, won't we?" Jim said in his nasally voice. Just as Amy was about to step out and beat the two bullies up, Chorin said in an unusually serious voice, "No, I don't think you should do that…" "Oh, and you're gonna stop us?" Rocky snarled as he laid a forceful hand on Chorin's shoulder. At that moment, Chorin kicked into action, grabbing Rocky's arm and flinging him over his shoulder in one fluid motion. As Rocky lay on his back a few yards away, Chorin turned towards Jim with a steely look in his eye. Jim gave a terrified squeak and scurried away. Just then, the bell for 5-minute warning rung and Chorin turned away and started walking to his next class as Amy did the same with an incredulous look on her face.

"That looked like something Sonic would do." Amy said to herself walking home from School later that day. "Hey Amy!" Chorin's voice came out of the blue as Amy whirled around to find Chorin. There he was, running towards her with a grin on his face totally unlike what she had seen before when he flipped Rocky. She smiled and said, "Hey! What's up? Any trouble on your first day?" She asked him. "Well, besides not being able to find the cafeteria, none." Hey Chorin, do you think you could help me with the World Civ homework?" Amy asked him. Chorin grinned and said, "Sure, I can try. But I'm not very good at it." "Well maybe we can put our two halves of a brain together and figure it out, eh?" Amy said, laughing. "Maybe so." Chorin replied, laughing as well, "Let's go to my house then, shall we?" Chorin said to her. "Sure, sounds good. I'll just call my mom and tell her I'm going to a friend's house." Amy said as Chorin veered odd and they headed for his house

For any people who are confused about pronouncing Chorin's name, it's pronounced Shorin. As always, please leave a review
