Hi! I know what you're thinking 'You posted a chapter? Yeah right!' It's true the wait is over. Sorry it took me so long to post this new chapter. I had a family matter, I was lazy, I needed an idea that would at least amuse you guys and also I accidently erased this chapter before I could post it, so I had to write it over again. But don't worry it needed editing anyway. Anyway, again I apologize, hopefully I'll get the next chapter up faster than this one. I hope you guys enjoy and I hope it was worth the wait.

Chapter 4 Friends?

I can't believe I did that. I thought. It's been a full week and I'm still picking on myself about it. I was searching through my locker for my English textbook. I close my locker door once I found what I was looking for and started banging my head against it, hoping I could get rid of all memory about that day out of my head. Not working.

"Hey, bud!" I turned away from my locker door only to stare at one of my only friends.

I sighed. "Hi, Larry." The last thing I wanted to do right now was explain to him why I haven't talked to him in a week. "How have you been?"

"Just fine. Question is; how have you been?" He asked. "I haven't seen you in a week. Something happen?" Good old Larry always worries about others.

"I'm fine. I just didn't feel like talking. I haven't been in the mood lately." It wasn't completely lying.

The Lynx just stared into my amber eyes, probably expecting to find the real reason as to why I've been avoiding my friends. He decided to let it past since it was obvious I was in no mood to bring up the topic. "Okay, if you say so, but don't think you're going to get Blaze to back down that easily." Ah, Blaze my best friend in the whole world. "Well, I better get going, my dad's picking me up. Bye, Silver!"

"Bye, Larry!" I called as he disappeared behind a corner. I let myself wonder back to my thoughts. He probably thinks I'm a freak. That's what everyone else thinks of me. It's been a week since I last tutored Sonic Hedgehog, and I'm still beating myself up for being so stupid. I've been avoiding Sonic ever since that day, and I wasn't at all looking forward to tutoring him again today.

I walked through a hall filled with kids who were all trying to get there last conversations in with their friends before going home. As I walk past dozens of kids I notice that most of them avert from their conversations to stare at me. It was kind of creepy how, like a living magnet, their eyes would stick to me. They all started whispering or what they thought was whispering.

"Hey look it's the freak." One girl said to one of her friends who started to burst into a fit of giggles.

"Isn't he supposed to be a fortune teller or something? Yeah, right." A guy said to his girlfriend then started laughing out loud.

This didn't bother me, I was used to it. I was known as 'The Freak' at school because I knew things were going to happen before they did. People just thought it was a coincidence. They've also came up with an excuse for my telekinesis. They think I like pranking people. If I did, don't you think I would have figured out that the joke was getting old?

I finally reached the exit to school and guess who happens to be talking to his group of friend's right next to the entrance? The last person I wanted to see, Sonic Hedgehog. Great! Now what do I do? Before I could even come up with a solution I was slammed into a locker.

After impact I reopened my eyes only to be greeted by cold icy blue ones. "Hey Freak! What's my fortune today?" Scourge Hedgehog was giving me a big smirk. He slowly pushed me up in the air well grabbing the coaler of my shirt.

"What? Is it so bad you can't tell me?" I didn't bother to use my telekinesis because anything I throw at him he can just avoid with his speed. By now everyone was staring at us, but didn't make a move to help. They all knew Scourge was faster than them and besides who wants to help 'The Freak'. "Wait. I see something; I see myself stuffing you in a locker. What do you know? Maybe I'm a fortune teller, too."

I didn't say anything and just waited for his fist to hit my face. I was too scared to even think about using telekinesis to lift him. "Leave him alone!" Someone shouted. Scourge turned his gaze from me to the crowd, scanning for the fool who decided to interrupt him.

"Who said that?" Scourge demanded. A vicious gleam in his eyes.

"I did!" Once the person was in view Scourge instantly dropped me. Scourge took off down the hallway. I looked up to see who scared him off. I saw a white gloved hand in front of my face and joyful emerald eyes. "Need help?" The blue hedgehog said as I grabbed his hand and he pulled me on my feet.

"Why did you help me?" The crowd that was staring at Scourge and me went back to their conversations as if nothing happened.

"Because you looked like you were in a bit of trouble, you're welcome by the way." Sonic Hedgehog smiled at me and I chuckled at his remark.

"Thanks." I said.

"So, where have you been it's like you've been avoiding me, stranger?" I found it impossible to stay sad around Sonic.

"I actually have been avoiding you. I thought you'd do the same." He started chuckling. "What's so funny?" I asked. I was completely confused.

"I find it funny that you think I would avoid you after I found out you can see the future and you can do that mind mumbo jumbo you… what did you call it?"

"Telekinesis."

"Yeah, that. If anything I would follow you around. Besides you and I have something in common." He gave me a cocky grin.

"And what might that be?" I asked.

"We both have weird abilities. I have super speed." He said the last part with pride.

I grinned and said, "I knew that." Sonic started laughing.

"Good one." He lightly slapped me on the back. "Do you mind walking home with me and my sibs?" My smile instantly faded. "It would be faster than just waiting for you."

"Did you tell them?" I asked him.

"Tell them wha- Oh! Yeah. Don't worry they didn't believe me. They thought I was joking, even though I was pretty sure I looked like a nervous wreck." He laughed some more.

After hearing his words all my worries flooded out of me now that I knew I didn't need to explain anything to anyone else. "So, is that a yes?" Sonic asked me.

"Sure." Sonic gave me a smile as I followed him through the exit.

…o0o…

We waited on a small island in the middle of the street. Sonic kept his eyes on the school entrance. I just stood there. Eventually a green hedgehog and a pink hedgehog came into view.

The green hedgehog was Sonic's brother, Manic. He wore a red shirt with a black vest over it. He had on black pants and red and white tennis shoes. He wore a golden chain around his neck carrying a drum medallion. He had white gloves on with spiked bracelets around his wrists. He looked strong, proud, and happy, a lot like his brother did. His eyes were a sparkling amber, kind of like mine minus the joy that filled his. In his right ear was a brass earing and diamond earring. He had a smile on that somehow made me feel more relaxed. "Hey, bro. Hi ya, Silver!" He called.

The pink fashionista next to Manic was Sonic's sister, Sonia. She had on a beautiful white dress with a skirt about knee-high in length. The white dress was covered with fancy black designs. She wore white flats with a black bow on the toe and a pearl in the middle of it. Around her neck was a golden chain holding a keyboard medallion. Her eyes were a dazzling sapphire blue that was filled with just as much joy as her brother's eyes. Her lipstick smile grew wider when she saw us. She ran up and hugged Sonic. "Hi, Sonic. Hello, Silver." She cried. As soon as she hugged Sonic I could smell this fragrance that smelt like tropical fruit. Probably her perfume. I thought. Sonic's sibling's sure look a lot like him even though there are not related.

"Silver's following us home guys. Is that okay with you?" They both nodded and we began our walk to Sonic's house.

…o0o…

As soon as we walked through Sonic's door Mrs. Bernie greeted us. "Hello, boys, Sonia. I see you brought Silver over. Here to tutor Sonic again I presume?" I nodded my head.

"How about you try studying in our library? Sonic, dear, will you take him to it?" She asked.

"Sure thing mom. Come on Silver." Sonic motioned for me to follow him. They have their own Library?

We turned a few hallways until we reached the two white doors to the library. In the middle of each door was a big rectangle window. Through those windows I saw hundreds of books. Sonic grabbed one of the crystal doorknobs and threw the door open. Instantly I was astounded.

The library was huge! It was a large, round room filled with shelves and shelves of books. On the left and on the right were two separate staircases that lead to the second level of books. On the right side of the room, next to the staircase was a cheery wood writing desk. On top of the finely carved desk was a large, open book that almost covered the top of the desk. In the middle of the room was a round table with a globe as the centerpiece. On the left side of the room, just over the middle of the left staircase was a big window that had a marvelous view.

Of course, as a book lover myself, I was really excited. I wondered around the room staring at all the books. "Wow. Just, wow." That was all I could say.

"If I had a dollar for every time I heard that…" Sonic mumbled. "So, do you want to study outside or in?"

I looked away from the bookshelf I was looking at to look at Sonic, only to find he wasn't there. I couldn't even react by the time Sonic grabbed my hand and in a second we were on the second floor of the library. It took me a while to figure out that Sonic used his speed to get us up here. "Wow. You're fast!" I declared.

"Thanks." Sonic replied as he opened another white door and walked through it. In a few seconds Sonic's head poked through the door. "Are you coming?" He asked.

"Oh. Yeah." As soon as I walked through the door I found that we were on a balcony with a beautiful view of a meadow. Sonic was leaning on the railing will giving me a large smile. I was too awestruck to speak, I just walked over to the table in the center and sat on one of the patio chairs. I set my backpack on the marble floor.

Sonic just kept smiling as he sat down in the patio chair on the opposite side of the table. He dumped his homework on the table and sorted through it will I stared at the meadow full of floors and apple trees.

"What do you think?" Sonic asked.

"This view is amazing and your library is huge! Have you read all those books?" I asked him, even though I was pretty sure what the answer was.

"Don't you think if I did I would have never needed your help? Besides, my sister is in to that stuff more than me. My brother reads more than I do. I'm more into action and adventure." Sonic replied.

"I love books! It doesn't matter what you give me, just hand me a book and I'm set." I smiled at him. The smile faded as quickly as it came. "I still can't believe you're not freaking out."

Sonic stopped sorting through his homework and looked at me. "I'll admit, I was… shocked at first, I mean a kid that can see the future and move things with his mind? Wow. But I can run faster than the speed of light why does that freak me out?" He let out a small laugh. "You should of seen my mom and my sibs laugh as I tried to explain to them what I experienced. I eventually gave up trying to get them to change their minds about me joking. I soon decided that a kid with those abilities would make awesome friend. Especially since I have a weird ability too. What person can say 'my friend can see the future'?"

I gave him a confused look. "Friend? You want to be my friend?" I was shocked.

Sonic stretched out his hand to me. "Well, sure if you want to? Friends?" I looked at him like he'd gone mad. My gaze rested on his hand. He wants to be friends with me? Me? 'The Freak'?

Finally the war with myself ended and I took his hand, "Friends!" I declared. Sonic gave me a huge smile. "Now." I grabbed my backpack and pulled out my textbooks. "Should we pick up where we left off, friend?" I returned his smile.

...o0o…

Again, sorry it took me so long to post this. Also in the next few chapters there might be some Christian saying or something like that. If you're not believer then you don't have to read on. This is my belief and if you are willing to respect that then thank you, if you can't, you are free to leave. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter and I'll try to get the next one up as soon as I can.

Twin-books :D
