Ch.3 The Plan
Amy's POV
I opened my eyes and the sun hit them brightly. I squinted and rolled out of bed. I took a quick shower and threw on a pink skirt with ruffles on them, a sparkly pink t shirt, and some pink converses. I curled my quills and threw on my glasses. I ran downstairs and shoveled a strawberry pancake down my throat. I chased it down with some orange juice. My mom drove me to school quickly and I saw Cream. She was sitting on a ledge out front of the school reading a book. I also spotted Sonic. He was with the football players, Sally attached to him. My mom noticed me looking at him. "Is that Sonic," she asked.
"Yea. Love you, bye," I said jumping out the car. I shut the door and ran up to Cream. "Hey girly," I said. She looked up and smiled. She put her bookmark in her book, tucked the book back in her messenger bag and stood up. She gave me a soft hug.
"Hey Amy," she said, "Sonic was looking for you."
"Well I'm here now. Did he tell you what he wanted?"
"No, just told me to see him when you get here."
"I'm not walking through jockville over there." I motioned to where Sonic was with more sport players and their girlfriends.
"I'll come with you. Tails is over there too." We walked over to the crowd. Sonic smiled at me mischievously.
"Amy, I knew you doubted me," he said. I was confused. How did he know about my conversation with John? Was he following me?
"Look, you stalker, let's just talk business okay," I said. His smile dropped and he unwrapped Sally's arms from around him. He walked up to me and grabbed my arm when he passed me. I let him drag me into the building. We stopped at our lockers.
"You want to talk business, let's talk business," he said, pulling a packet out his book bag. The marriage ed. packet. "Alright, do you want the big house or the medium house or do you want to save money and get the small house?"
"Whoa, whoa, how much money do we have to start with?"
"1 million mullah."
"How much does the big house cost?"
"12 hundred and the mortgage price is 100 dollars a year."
"Oh no. Let's take the medium house."
"That's 9 hundred and mortgage is 70 dollars a year. That'll leave us: 999, 170 dollars," he said doing the math in his head. He did it quicker than I could have done it, almost as if he already had the answer.
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"Oh yea, the utilities for the house is 100 dollars which will leave us: 999, 070 dollars."
"What is the house?"
"A three bedroom, one and a half bath house in an established community. Decent school district and low crime level," he read off the paper. "Now, we need to work on extras."
"Such as?"
"Didn't you have a packet?"
"At home."
"Nice."
"Just tell me the extras."
"Alright, alright, someone's feisty today. It says we can choose any or none. They have cable TV, cell phone, and internet."
"Maybe we should go on to the necessities before doing those."
"Okay. Next is the car payment. We can get a brand new luxury hybrid, a pre-owned midsize, or a used compact."
"Hybrid sounds like too much money, besides we need to watch our budget."
"We're gonna get to pick jobs that we get to do together and get money for it. It says we time the money we make each time by fifty."
"We're getting the midsize for 250 for now."
"You're no fun."
"That'll be-"
"998, 820 dollars."
"Wow."
"Whatever. Food expenses." He stood next to me so that I could see the packet too.
"600 dollars for some dumb gourmet organic food. Now that's crazy," Sonic said.
"For once you're right. Let's get the average grocery and occasional takeout for 500."
"Got cha, alright that's: 998, 320 dollars that we have left."
"The country club membership won't hurt for 350."
"Okay, that's 997, 970 dollars."
"We can get all the extras."
"Okay that'll be 997, 815 dollars left over."
"Cool, now the shared activity."
"You go ahead and pick."
"But, we have to do this together and I have no clue what you like."
"You're not into sports are you?"
"No, but I'm really good in running I think and I heard you do track so then you don't have to, you know."
"Girl, track doesn't start till the spring, its fall remember."
"Right. I'm not being the water girl for some sweaty football players."
"Ouch, wouldn't be that harsh on you."
"But you hate me."
"True, but I'm not that mean."
"We have nothing else to do then." I heard the bell ring. I kind of didn't want to start the day. I wanted to stay with Sonic. He was actually really smart and not that bad of a person. Sonic moved away from me, but gave me the packet. "Look over it and think about the activity. Meet me at lunch," he said before walking away. I got my things out my locker and started off to homeroom. Sonic still sat in the front of the room though Sally wasn't on his lap. She was sitting behind him, glaring at the back of his head. I felt this weird feeling in my stomach when I looked at Sonic. He looked kind of sad. His eyes met mine and he smiled cockily. I rolled my eyes and took my seat.
I looked around the hallway and peeked back to the cafeteria. Where was Sonic? He told me he would meet me, yet he's still not here. He came around the corner with Sally in hand. He looked distant until his eyes landed on me. He bit his lip and it looked like he was trying not to smile. He reached me and Sally glared, her curly auburn curls started to form devil horns.
"What are you doing here," she asked.
"Sonic and I still have to discuss some things in our marriage ed. class. I think you and your partner should do the same," I said. She kissed Sonic on the cheek before shooting me another glare before she stormed into the cafeteria.
"Library," I suggested.
"Sure. Want to split a turkey and cheese sandwich," he asked. I smiled.
"Sure." We walked down to the library together and sat down at an empty table.
"Did you think of anything for the shared activity," he asked.
"Well, I asked Principal Fallows if cheerleading can be it since I'll come to all your football games, and he said yes."
"Awesome. I'll make sure to make a touchdown dedicated to you."
"You're so sweet." He laughed. It was really carefree and light. It made me smile even more.
"Oh, I picked up a journal for you," he said, handing me a light pink journal with a bedazzled jewels spelling my name and other shapes on it. "Sorry, but my little sister wanted to make it pretty," he said.
"It's still nice. Thank you."
"No problem. Oh, that brings me to the job thing. I babysit my sister and her friends every Friday if you want to do that."
"You get paid for it?"
"Yea, I need the money right now."
"Oh. Um, I was looking through the packet and it said something about guidance counselor sessions?"
"Yea, we have to meet with her every week and talk about how the marriage is going."
"Oh. Also about the life-altering issue-"
"Everyone is getting one. The teachers are spinning a wheel or something like that."
"Well I hope we get the pregnancy with kids. I've always wanted kids." He smiled.
"How many?"
"Two. Twins, so that they won't fight over who's older. It'll only be by a couple of minutes so it shouldn't make a difference. Also because they'll have a lifetime friend."
"Are you an only child?"
"Yea, it sucks. I'm alone most of the time. Well now. My mom wants a baby and the new marriage and everything."
"Are you happy about everything?"
"No. John's a nice guy, but I don't know if he's right for our family. Plus if my mom does have a baby, it won't be my brother or sister. It'll be my half-brother or sister."
"My little sister is my half-sister. Is there something wrong with the thought of it being a half or the thought of it not being by the same mother or father as you?"
"The second one I guess."
"Put it this way, then you won't be alone anymore. You'll have something to take care of instead of just yourself. You'll have another thing to live for because you know it needs you."
"Is that how you feel about your sister?"
"Yea, I was never an only child though. Two older siblings. Twins. They're in college now and they moved far away. She's all I have now."
"Oh. This is weird."
"Yea it is."
"How can things come out so easily between us?"
"I don't know. I've never told anyone how I've felt about my siblings before, not even Sally and she's my girlfriend, she's supposed to know a lot of things."
"Does she know a lot of things?"
"No, but it's mostly because-," he paused and sighed. "Never mind," he said.
"Okay." The bell rang. Sonic and I got up and threw our trash away. "Do you need my phone number in case you know, anything comes up and I don't hear about it," I said, blushing. He also blushed a little.
"Um yea, and I suppose I should give you mine," he said getting paper out. He wrote his number down on one of the halves he had ripped the paper into and I wrote mine on the other one. We exchanged them.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yea, um our session's tomorrow at 9 o' clock so I guess I'll see you there."
"Yea, see ya." I backed up into a chair clumsily. He chuckled.
"Bye Amy," he said turning and walking away. I felt all mushy in my stomach. I've never had this feeling before, but I kind of liked it.
Aww, cute little sonamy. More questions! What did Sonic mean when he said his little sister is all he has? What do you think Amy has against having a baby that's not by her biological dad. You guys don't have to answer if you don't want to, but i just like asking. Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!
