Chapter 2: Chills

Dinner time.

Amy, her father, Bernadette and Sonic sat together that evening at the dinner table. It was chatty at first, mostly because of her father and Bernadette but after the introductions and small questions about each other it became quiet. Never before had Amy felt it to be so awkward at a dinner table. When it was just her and her father it was quiet but the atmosphere was different.

Amy stole a glance at Sonic who ate right across from her. He munched on his salad with his eyes closed not minding anyone around him. Bernadette sat next to him and across from her was her father who sat next to Amy. They made a perfect square.

Her father made it so that they'd look each other in the eye and be able to say mentally 'they are family now'. Amy looked down at her half eaten plate of chicken, rice and salad. She was stuck on that idea of considering him family after knowing him as a schoolmate she didn't social with.

"Ah Eliot," Bernadette said breaking the silence, "We haven't told them about the wedding preparations. Would you kids like to hear it?"

"Uh…sure," Amy managed to say. Sonic placed his fork down and looked at his mom.

"The wedding will be this summer at an outside garden near the beach." Eliot explained looking at Bernadette with soft eyes. Amy caught it and shivered. Seeing her dad in love wasn't a pleasant feeling, but he was happy and so it was all okay.

Her eyes looked forward and met with Sonic's unconsciously. Her eyes averted to the side the moment they met. Sonic did the same.

"That's not too far from now," Amy stated looking down at her food. It was barely about to be winter. "I can't wait," Her words came out sounding a bit lukewarm and she lifted her head quickly saying, "I'm looking forward to it."

Bernadette giggled and picked up her finished plate. Eliot stood up with her. "But until then we'll see what life has in store for us." Eliot said walking into the kitchen.

Amy smiled and took a bite of her last piece of meat and stood up with her plate. She didn't want to be left alone with Sonic so she followed. Sonic was the last one at the table. He didn't mind. He ate peacefully until he was done

:xXx:

Amy came out of the bathroom after finishing taking a shower. She dried off her pink quills and walked down the hall of the second floor. The bathroom was at the end of the hall near her room. She walked in her pink jammies and barefoot on the ground. She uncovered her head and held the towel in her hand. Her eyes widened and she stopped dead in her tracks. Sonic stood in front of her with a toothbrush in his hand.

"Hello," She muttered, but wondered why she said that. It came out on its own.

"Do you always take long half an hour showers?" He asked in a deadpan manner raising his eyebrows.

"Yea," Amy asked her hands on her hips. "What of it?"

"Wasting time and precious water is all," He said nonchalantly walking around her. Amy growled and stepped in front of him. He stopped and backed away annoyed.

"You should be more respectful. Don't forget the real owner of this house." She said angry pointing at him.

Sonic chuckled mockingly at her. "Yea, cause you pay the rent, light bill and water bill,"

Sonic was going to make his way around her but again she stepped in front of him blocking his way to the restroom. A vain appeared on the corner of his forehead. She wore an ugly frown and stood firm in place. "Were you always this rude? Is that cool act of yours at school just an act too?"

Sonic's sigh was exasperated and he ran to the side quickly leaving Amy unable to detect his fast movements. He began to walk passed her. "No, you're just annoying,"

"Hey!"

Amy grabbed his arm and prevented him from moving anymore. He turned his head around about to vent, but he picked up a sound of steps coming up the stairs. He tried to pull his hand back but Amy didn't let go. She stared angrily at him. "I'm not done—mrrmh"

Sonic covered her mouth with his free hand and his eyes lifted up gesturing her that someone was coming. She got the message because she heard footsteps arriving. She released his arm just in time for Sonic to appear in front of the door of the restroom and away from her. Amy sadly wasn't fast and stayed in place.

Bernadette appeared before them. Sonic was opening the door to the restroom and Amy stood in the middle of the hallway with her back facing her. Her eyes focused back at Sonic.

"Ah Sonic," Sonic turned his head to look over his shoulder at his mom. Amy turned around. "We ran out of dish soup downstairs. Could you go to a convenience store to get some?"

"Oh, okay," He came back out. "Where's one?"

"There's one just a few blocks away from here." Amy's words suddenly escaped her mouth, wishing it hadn't, because just then Bernadette turned to Amy and smiled at her. She cursed her helping nature.

"Would you care to show him the way? This part of the area is still unfamiliar to us."

Amy's mouth opened wide and she began to blunder. "I-I I wouldn't mind, but…"

She turned to Sonic. He didn't hold any sort of angry expression. It was indifferent. She was confused by it and wondered if she'd made a mistake. Bernadette laughed and shook her head. "He doesn't mind, right?"

"No, not at all." Sonic agreed smiling at her.

Chills ran up Amy's spine and backed away with a nervous smile. There was no mistake in the way his eyes with a flickering flame inside burned yet concealed did not show his mother. She'd made a mistake, but she couldn't back down anymore. If anything, she could be able to take advantage of the situation. An idea ran down her mind and she smiled right back at Sonic.

"Thank you." Bernadette said going to Sonic and handing him money.

"I'm going to put on some shoes." Amy said running into her room.

"I'll meet you outside." Sonic called out.

Amy closed the door to her room and smirked. She didn't know what to expect on her small trip to the convenience store with him, but she did know something thing. He didn't want the idea of them living together to slip out at school and he didn't want their unfriendly relationship known to their parents. If she was careful she could have the upper hand and instead of him threating her, she could threaten him. She could make a fool out of him like he'd done to her. But first she had to gain his trust.

She put on her shoes and ran out with her quills damped and her pajamas. She raced downstairs and opened the door. She went out and when she closed the door behind her she spotted Sonic on the driveway. His hands were crossed on his chest and his foot was tapping impatiently while looking at her with narrowed eyes. Amy walked up to him nervously laughing.

"Shall we go?"

"What the hell!" He snapped.

Amy had drops of sweat on her forehead and held her hands up defensively. She stopped in front of him. His glaring eyes pierced through her and more drops of sweat fell. "Don't get mad at me. I was trying to help."

"It clearly didn't." He growled.

"Ok, I'm sorry, but hey, I can at least show you around." Amy said lifting her finger up and offering a smile.

Sonic rolled his eyes and sighed turning around to walk down the driveway and into the street. Amy followed behind him. "Whatevers. Just hurry up."

Amy reached his side and mentally patted herself in the shoulder. She had caught him off guard there and had no point but to put on a fake mask in front of his mom.

Now, she had to figure out more about him. So many ideas on how to get him back rushed through her mind and suddenly it felt like a blessing that he lived with her. Just like any other mobian, Sonic had secrets that he kept to himself. If she could figure out those secrets and expose them to everyone, nobody would think of Sonic as the Prince of the school anymore. No girl would like him and his reputation would go up in flames. Amy snickered to herself. Sonic eyed her just before she closed her mouth and he looked away with a firm look.

Amy blinked her eyes surprised. 'Wow, when did I become malicious?'

"So, where did you use to live before?" Amy asked cheerfully. Sonic didn't respond or turn to look at her. Amy nervously looked at him and leaned forward to look at his face. "Um Sonic?"

Sonic's eyes shifted to her and he stopped. "I don't know if I told you before, but I'm not interested in being friendly with you so quiet it," He said nonchalantly and his eyes looked forward.

Amy's eyes widened and the chills came back. He was much wiser than she thought he was. Guess she couldn't approach him that way. "I-I know that. I was just curious." She said in a low voice.

"That shouldn't interest you either way." He said coldly.

Amy frowned and her fist clenched. "Geez you're so annoying! I won't show you where the convenience store is now." She said petulantly crossing her arms and pouting. She stopped walking but Sonic didn't stop and grinned.

"Alright, it's not like I needed you anyway." He sneered.

Amy gaped at him and anger fumed through her ears. She growled and without thinking shouted, "Then I'll tell your mom about how your being with me."

Sonic stopped.

Amy regretted those words since they spewed out of her anger and sounded real childish. Sonic stopped he turned around with a smirk. She knew he didn't want to show their unfriendly relationship to their parents, but why was he smiling so smugly. He shook his head and walked up to her. "Do you know how pathetic you sound?"

"I-I mean it…"

"Then say it with more confidence." Sonic leaned forward and his smirk widened into a dark grin.

She swallowed hard and backed away. He was making her jittery due to the way he grinned at her. She clenched her jaw.

Sonic laughed when she didn't say anything and backed away from her. "Don't think I didn't see this coming. I told you not to get cocky."

Sonic was shrewd, but she didn't know he was alert. He'd caught her before she was able to make a move and suddenly all her thoughts on vengeance rotted. She glared at him and Sonic knew he'd won.

"Jerk…" She growled under her breath, but he only smiled.

"To you it may seem like that, but if so then you're one to talk." He said.

Amy's eyebrows furrowed until they couldn't anymore and her glare was icy cold, but it took no effect on him. Sonic turned around and walked forward. Amy's feet wouldn't move. She was so embarrassed of herself for being made a fool once again. She closed her eyes shut with the unbearable anger. Sonic looked over his shoulder and saw her eyes downcast. He stopped and turned around annoyed. "Stop feeling sorry for yourself."

Amy's head rose. She backed away glaring at him. No, she wasn't falling for anything of his anymore. She wasn't going to be made a fool again.

"N-no, I-I'm going back home. You said so yourself you don't need me to guide you. Go find it yourself." She turned around and walked back down the sidewalk to her house. Sonic rolled his eyes and turned around continuing down the route. "Girls,"

Morning rays shined brightly through the open window of Amy's room. Amy was already up and dressed ready to go to school. She tied a bow on the top of her head and looked at herself in the mirror. "Perfect,"

She headed downstairs and found her father ready to go to work as well as her Bernadette. Her father spotted her and smiled at her. "Good morning,"

"Morning dad," She chirped back and then turned to Bernadette. "Good morning,"

Bernadette turned to her and smiled. "Good morning. Wow, such a cheerful girl in the mornings. I like that."

"Thank you,"

"Alright, you and Sonic head to school first. We'll be leaving soon." She told her as she fixed her quills and rushed down into the kitchen. Amy blinked stunned. He was still home. She looked around the room and sure enough Sonic stood near the door with his backpack on his shoulder. Amy's cheerful expression wiped away and hunched back looking disappointed.

Sonic wasn't too happy about it either, but why didn't he lie about leaving early or something. She approached Sonic mumbling to herself. Sonic glared at her, but he fixed his expression when his mom appeared again. "Make sure you're a good boy Sonic and keep an eye on her."

"Yes," Sonic nodded obediently. Amy gazed at him with opened eyes. Seeing Sonic so well disciplined when he was really a careless jerk brought nasty chills on her arms which she rubbed away. She didn't like the feeling.

When his mom turned around to talk to Eliot Amy stared at him with an abhorrence look which irritated Sonic. Sonic opened the door for Amy and with a nod of his head gestured for her to walk out first.

Gentleman?

Then it hit her. Amy's loathing look faded and a grin replaced her frown. She walked out first and then Sonic walked out. When the door closed and Sonic turned around Amy grinned mischievously at him.

"You're a mama's boy." She stated.

"Here we go. Already trying to start something early in the morning." He said unamused. He walked to her side and passed her. Amy skipped back to his side and they walked down to the sidewalk.

"No, I'm just stating facts. Now I know why you don't want your mom to know about your rude behavior, because she trained you to be a good boy." She jeered.

Sonic smirked and looked at her from the corner of his eye. "Opinions and facts are two different things,"

"Huh? What's your point?"

"My point is watch out for you think are facts are really opinions." Sonic said and his whole head turned to her with a grin. "Misinformation isn't good."

Amy's eyes lit halfway. He was trying to wise up against her. She pouted her lips and turned her head away from him. Sonic couldn't suppress a mocking chuckle.

She was easily fazed by him. Her Sensitivity caused her guarded walls to crumble leaving her defenseless. It was funny yet pathetic of her.

With an eye roll eyes he made sure they were far away from home. When Sonic couldn't see the house anymore he faced Amy.

"I'm going on ahead."

"Huh?" Her words scattered with the wind and it blew all around her face so she closed them unable to see Sonic's movements. When she reopened them he was gone. He had incredible speed and was surprised to have been next to him when he took off. He had a powerful ability. Still, he left her alone. She clenched her fist and her jaw. "Damn you,"

/:xXx:\

Amy walked into school alone. It was nothing new to her and she was fairly use to it. She sighed and ignored all the passing students around her. She could hear a few of them mutter about her, how low grades and awkward girl she was. Others simply ignored her presence. It was the same thing almost every morning and it sucked. Her head lowered when she heard them snickering at her.

'Ignore it,' she reminded herself. She didn't stop walking until she reached inside the school and away from the group of students teasing her. Even if she was used to it she'd wish it'd go away.

No matter how hard she tried to talk to anyone it either didn't work out or was turned down. Everything about her didn't seem to be liked by anyone. She shook her head and her head rose looking forward. She had to keep trying though so her efforts weren't put in vain. At least for the sake of her last year in high school.

RING RING

Homeroom was commencing. She rushed down the hall to get to her class. Turning around the corner of the hall she bumped into someone and she gasped looking at up a green hawk. His and Amy's eyes widened simultaneously. Amy avoided looking at him directly. "Sorry," She apologized and went around him. The hawk stared surprisingly at her and his eyes followed her as she ran down the hall. He shrugged his shoulders and walked away like nothing ever happened.
