Smile- Avril Lavigne

Chapter 5: Smile

Amy didn't know where to start. How did one talk to someone who didn't want to talk back. She sighed giving it another hard thought. How could she possible approach someone? Who could she approach? She sighed again scratching her head and looked at the juice box in her hand.

It was harder than Sonic made it sound. She looked around her classroom. There were a lot of students talking to one another, getting ready to head home. A girl, in front of Amy, stood next to her desk waiting for her friend to pick up her books off the desk and go. Amy took a deep breath and opened her mouth to speak.

"Hurry! Hurry! Or we'll miss him!" She said, hastily looking out the window.

"I'm going!" The girl on the chair said zipping her bag shut. "There! Let's go!"

Amy wasn't able to speak. She sighed and placed her chin on the palm of her hand. Today just wasn't her day. As always. Amy picked up her items off the desk and stood up. Her head turned slightly and caught something out the window. Below her, Sonic and his group of friends stood by a bench talking and laughing.

"Oh," Amy said faintly, seeing why the girls were in such a rush to get going. It was Sonic they wanted to see.

She watched as Sonic laughed as one of his friends spoke. Then he opened his mouth. As he spoke the rest surrounded him with indulging smiles. Amy couldn't help but smile too.

How he made friends so easily was unknown to her, but she understood why everyone would want to be around him. Considering no one but her probably knew his bad side personality, he wore a confident smile on his face at school which made him approachable. All she had to do was smile too.

Amy turned her head away and stared down at the juice before her. Even after he gave her advice, she wasn't able to follow it correctly. She tried smiling at her fellow classmates, but they stared at her as if she was a weird stranger. She was such a letdown. She didn't even deserve this juice from him. Probably a pity gift from him anyway, she thought.

She turned around with her bag behind her back and left the juice box on her desk and exited the room. Just as she left through, a brown chipmunk entered the room.

"Excuse me,"

She huffed and puffed looking around the room and spotted a notebook on the front desk. She rushed to it and grabbed it.

"Yes! It's still here," She said but then saw a juice box sitting at the middle corner desk near the window. She stared at it and recalled a pink hedgehog in her class that sat there. She snapped her fingers remembering that she had left through the door seconds ago.

Amy stepped down the stairs and onto the first floor. She was going to turn around the corner when she heard someone call out.

"Hey wait! Pinky!"

Amy turned her head and up the stairs a chipmunk stood there panting. She grinned when Amy turned and she made her way down the stairs.

Amy's eye lids batted and she pointed at herself confused.

"You forgot this," She lifted her hand with the juice.

"Oh," Amy muttered.

The girl exhaled and fixed her body posture. Amy took the juice and her body stiffened. It was her chance. Amy bowed her head. "Thank you!"

The girl laughed while covering her mouth. Her laugh was pleasant to Amy's ears. Soft like an angel's and elegant like a royal lady, that's what she was. Amy knew a bit about her, but never had she talked to her. Amy looked at her in awe and the girl stared back.

"You're welcome." She extended her hand out. "I'm Sally,"

Amy took her hand gaily. "I'm Amy."

"Oh, flunk girl," She said letting go of her hand with a surprised look.

Amy looked down nervously. "Yea,"

"Ek! My bad, I didn't mean that. It's just, everyone knows you by that I guess...I shouldn't follow that example." Sally said wistfully tapping her cheek.

"No, it's okay. It's true anyway." Amy said in a low voice.

Sally made a small noise from the back of her throat and she covered her mouth with her fingers. She immediately clapped both her hands in front of her face and she lowered her head. "I'm sorry. I just made such a bad first impression."

"First impression," Amy repeated, but then she caught on. She shook her head and her hands simultaneously. "N-No you didn't!"

Sally looked up at her. She rose with a small smile of embarrassment. Amy looked at her juice and then at her, showing the juice to her. "Again, thank you."

Sally showed a cheeky smile before taking a look at her watch and gasping. "Oh, I totally forgot. My friends are waiting for me. I've got to go, but I'll see you tomorrow. Enjoy your juice! Bye!" Sally ran down the hall waving back at her.

"Bye," Amy waved back a little dazed. A large smile formed on her face at the thought that she was finally able to talk to someone successfully without them having to avoid her. She took another look at the box of juice. As much as she didn't like it, the juice Sonic gave her did this. He helped her once again. She hugged the juice and spun around in a circle giggling.

From afar a green hawk and a purple weasel stared at her strangely.

"What's with her?"

"Who knows," The hawk said.

/:xXx:\

By late afternoon, Sonic arrived back to his house, tired and hungry. He closed the door and took a moment to hear the sounds of the house to see if anyone was around, and there was. Upstairs he heard the ceiling creak of footsteps. Sonic shook his head. Making so much noise.

"Sonic!" Amy called out from upstairs and when she reached half-way down the stairs she grinned.

Sonic raised an eyebrow looking at her warily. She raced down the rest of the steps down and ran up to him with the juice box in her hand. She whipped it in front of his face forcefully making him back away. "Hey—"

"I think I made a friend!" She said cheerfully.

"Um…okay," He said slowly.

"I forgot—" She paused, wondering if she should continue with the small lie, and decided to. "The juice you gave me during lunch on my desk and a sweet girl gave it back to me. She was really nice and said she'd see me tomorrow."

"Okay, that's good I guess," He was about to turn around to head to the kitchen but Amy stopped him when she squealed loudly. He shot her a glare, but she ignored it. "Thank you so much Sonic!"

"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything." He questioned finding himself annoyed with her once again.

"You did. This juice"—She pointed at it—"Is the reason that happened afterschool. Then I just followed your advice and it worked out."

"You're over-processing everything." He muttered and walked into the kitchen. "Why didn't you drink it, werido,"

Amy grinned and ripped the straw off the box and poked it on the hole on top, sipping it to her enjoyment. Cherry bomb flavor had the right amount of sugar and natural flavor to suit her taste buds. A simple ringtone rang inside the house which came directly from the kitchen. Amy stopped drinking her juice when she heard Sonic speaking.

He got a phone call. She pouted. Even at home he was still popular. She turned around not wanting to bother.

"Hey Sal!"

Amy's ears twitched and she turned. A girl.

"Yea, my mom's not home."

Amy covered her mouth and walked closer towards the kitchen entrance. She peer her head on the doorway and found Sonic holding a glass of water.

"Actually, now's not a good time." He nervously chuckled and turned around to find Amy looking at him from the doorway. He shot daggers at her but kept his voice composed. "It's still a mess here since we just moved in and all. Maybe next time when I clean up a mess I have in particular."

Amy's eyes widened and she came out with flushed cheeks. He was mentioning her over the phone in a rude yet equivocal manner. She wanted to yell something at him, anything, just so that the one on the other line heard it and she could ruin him. She already had her air ready, but she released it slowly and turned back around. She left the kitchen feeling ashamed of wanting to expose him like that after he helped her. She went back upstairs.

"Alright, see ya tomorrow. Bye." Sonic hanged up and sighing. Hearing into other's conversation wasn't very mannerly. He looked in on the doorway but Amy wasn't there anymore. He rolled his eyes and left it alone.

Sally was in her classroom. She sat a few seats to the left near the front. Amy had never noticed her. She was cheerful and always had a smile on her face. Her high spirits got Amy curious. Just like a certain hedgehog she knew, she had students and friends surround her. Amy wanted to speak to her too, but would it be okay to approach her while she was with everyone? Amy rose from her chair. She was going to try.

She grabbed her bag and just when she was going to make her way over to her, a group of guys came in through the door. Amy stopped and turned her heel veering another direction. Discouraged, by the amount of students that surrounded her now, she made an all-round walk to the door, avoiding making contact with anyone.

She pouted, disappointed in herself, but she couldn't help it. She reached the door about too exit when someone blocked the way out.

Her head jolted up to meet with Sonic's emerald eyes and she froze. Sonic's face didn't change and she envied him for being so poised unlike her.

"Oh, Sonic! We're going to the café. Wanna come?" Someone from the group claimed.

Sonic faced upward. The voice of another made her brake from her paralyze posture and she moved to the side letting Sonic pass.

Without a word, he entered the classroom. Amy released a shaky breath. She needed to control her breathing.

"Alright, let's head…" Sally voice trailed off in spotting Amy taking breaths near the door. She tilted her head worryingly. Sonic noticed she was looking passed him and followed her gaze. "Ah Amy!"

Amy flinched and slowly moved her head to where Sally stood waving at her with the others giving her a shock look. Amy waved back at her forcing a smile upon her lips. Sally gave a cheeky grin. "Are you going home?"

Amy nodded not finding the possible words to tell her so.

"Do you wanna come to a café with us?"

The words shocked everyone in the room, leaving them numb to the core. Sonic, stared at Sally wide-eyed for a moment, but soon fixed his features before he could be seen. He faced Amy. She looked too shocked to reply. Her smile was cracking away and becoming harder to hold.

"C-Café? Right now?" She asked making sure she wasn't hearing things on her own.

Sally nodded, "Yea, is that fine?" She turned to her friends for an agreeing look. They slowly nodded uneasily. She turned to Sonic and he shrugged turning back to Amy. "I don't mind,"

Amy knew Sonic minded. He warned her on the first day that he didn't want her invading on his space, and she didn't want to, but she never knew that Sonic and Sally were friendly with each other. Were her hopes of being friends with Sally futile?

"Sal, I forgot the teacher told me to give you this," As Sonic talked to Sally, Amy stared curiously at them. So, she was the Sal over the phone. Friendship sure was a cool thing. Calling each other nicknames and all, she thought.

"Alright! Let's go!" Sally jumped up in the air and walked over to Amy. Everyone else followed with recovering faces. Sonic exited the room last.

The group of eight students, including Amy, walked to the city of Station Square together. Sally was doing her very best to include Amy into the group so that she wouldn't feel left out. The fact that she had invited her along still surprised Amy. She wasn't use to going out in groups.

The group, although, was uncertain with Amy around, she could sense it. That was what made Amy feel uncomfortable, but she did her best to smile. Just like Sonic had advised her to and he was around this time. She wanted to make sure to show him that she was trying her best.

The group entered into a small café. It was fancy and colorful. Amy gasped in awe. "Wow, this place is nice."
"Isn't it! Oh, look some open seats. Let's sit there!"

They all sat on the chairs at a table near a wall. Amy sat at the edge next to Sally. Sonic sat at the other edge across from her them. "Oh I never introduced my friends to you properly," Sally cleared her voice and with her hand gestured to each Mobian's name. She called Sonic's at the very end. "I hope we can get along!"

Amy smiled at everyone, but they returned uncertain or half-heartedly smiles. Except for Sonic who didn't look at her and a small two-tailed fox who returned the smile before looking at the menu.

"I'll pay for your get," Sally told Amy.

Amy shook her head and lifted her hand up. "You don't have to. It's okay."

"Don't be bashful," Sally laughed. Amy giggled not helping but to feel comfortable around Sally's cheerful personality. It was the first time anyone made her feel part of something since middle school.

At that moment, Amy's phone rang inside her bag. Amy grabbed it and saw the caller I.D. It was her dad. She searched for Sally's approval to excuse herself. Sally gave her the thumbs up and Amy got off her chair and walked around the corner to answer the phone call.

Sally turned to everyone with the same smile, but Sonic's and her friends gave her a concerned looks. Sally's blinked unsure of why they were showing her such a side. "What happened? Do I have something on my face?" Her hands roamed around her face and the edges of her lips.

"Why did you invite her?" The orange echidna asked.

"W-Why?" Sally repeated confused, her hands falling.

"The flunk girl. Why did you bring her along?" A white hedgehog asked.

"Hey, don't call her that. It's not nice." Sally said defensively in a low voice so Amy wouldn't overhear if she was around.

"You're not being nice by pitying her," The girl next to the red echidna, a bat said.

Sally gasped, "Pitying her? I don't know what you're talking about."

"Maybe you don't know, but Amy's the flunk girl. She gets really low grades at school. If you hang around with her you'll get a low grade on your next test. Grade score even." The bat explained throwing off Sally completely.

Sonic's eyes lit up. His face didn't show much but inside he was surprised in hearing that being said. It was a new set of words to his ears.

"Who said that?" Sally asked.

"A girl who sat next to her last year and flunked her math class,"

"That was the girl's own fault. Amy wouldn't—"

"It happened twice. Two different set of girls. I don't want to hang out with bad luck."

Sally hesitated to speak again, not knowing how to tell them off. At that moment Amy came back with a smile and hanging up from her phone call. She looked at Sally with an apologetic look. "My dad called saying I have to go home. I'm sorry."

Sally's cheerful smile she had earlier faded, "It's okay. Maybe next time then."

Amy nodded and looked at everyone. "See ya,"

They all smiled weirdly at her and she turned and left the café. Sonic sighed, making a sound for the first time since they arrived. The table did the same, but theirs was more as if they were holding in their breath and taking in air for the first time. Sally sent a frowning scowl to all of them but they ignored her. Sonic, stared at where Amy sat distantly. He shook his head and sat up straight getting ready to order.

/:XxX:\

Sonic arrived home by evening with both parents at the house. He carried a small white bag with small cakes inside from the store. He didn't see Amy downstairs near the kitchen and drew long ragged breath. He dropped his bag near the entrance and walked up the stairs to the second floor. There he made his way to Amy's door which was closed. He leaned on the wall next to the door and knocked.

"Yes?" Amy answered. "Who is it?"

Her voice was normal. Sonic raised an eyebrow but he didn't say anything. Soon the door opened to Amy. Sonic appeared in front of her and she flinched. "Wha!"

Sonic studied her face but he didn't see any tear streams, red or dull eyes. She looked normal. Maybe he had over thought it. He opened his mouth but Amy interrupted him.

"Don't worry I won't tell them anything." She grumbled.

Sonic paused and replaced his words. "No, that's not why I came."

"Really?" Amy asked her surprise tone audible.

"Sally wished you'd got to try the cakes, so I got some in her place." He explained lifting his hand and showing her the white paper bag. Her eyes screwed up and eyed him carefully. Sonic's eyelids fell halfway and he handed her the bag forcefully. Accidently as he pushed the bag to her hands, their fingers touched. It sent electric shocks down her fingers and was left dumbfounded.

"It's really for me?" She asked.

"Yea," He said as if it weren't clear enough already.

She opened the bag and stared at the small cakes with sparkling eyes. Her eyes traveled up to meet his and she smiled. "Thank you,"

Sonic stepped back and gave her one quick look before waving and heading back towards the stairs. Amy opened her mouth, "I mean it! Thank you, Sonic," She said more loudly.

Sonic rolled his eyes with a small smile look and left the hall. Amy went back into her room and closed the door. She closed the bag, her warm smile vanishing and unable to hold back the strong ache in her heart. She swallowed hard. She clenched the bag and shut her eyes tightly sliding down to the floor. Tears wanted to prickle out her eyes but she refused and held them back.

Even if she was sad, she wouldn't allow herself to cry over something like that. She was used to this. It wasn't the first time she'd been dissed like that.

So then why did it still hurt so much?

Such meanies! Poor Amy. Suffering on her own.

But Sonic at the end though.

Wonder why he did that.

I like seeing this nice side to him, but what's really going on, is the question.

What to expect next is another.

EEEKK!
