Chapter 4: Meeting Sally
It was about an hour before Sally came over so we could catch up. I was just happy to see a familiar face but for it to be my old best friend never expected it. Mrs. Rose went to work and Amy would leave us alone hopefully. I didn't want her stooping in on our conversation.
When Sally got here it was around 1:00, When I saw her she wearing the same outfit from yesterday. Just like always using the same clothes for more than 2 days. She looked pissed off? Why? I slowly walked over to her and she gave me a slap to face! What the hell!
"Why didn't you keep in contact with me?" Sally asked putting her arms on her hips.
"Uhhh" I didn't really know.
""I gave you all my contact info! Sally said
"I-I'm sorry Sal" I said still rubbing my cheek. Her face instantly lifted with joy when I said her nickname from like 3rd grade.
" uh… I can't stay mad at you, I just missed you so much" She said giving me bone crushing hug.
"You got a funny way of showing it" I mumbled I don't think she heard me. Right then I also remembered Amy was still here, I saw snickering was it really that funny? Soon after Amy left right as Sally let me go, I gasped for air.
"Jeeze, I remember I did that to you all the time and you had no problem" Sally smirked
"Maybe you just got stronger" I said smiling.
"Anyway how have thing's been?" Sally asked
"Things have been… better I don't freak out on anyone… but people still tease me all the time" I said
"So any new friends?" Sally asked
"No… every time a new kid shows up word spreads to him about what I used to be and they want nothing to do with me" I said. Sally sat down next to me a gave me a comforting hug. It been so long since I've had someone beside my parents, have even tried to be nice to me. "I just want to meet someone who doesn't know about my past"
"Well you can always call me or text me if you need any cheering up" Sally said
"Thanks I probably should have kept in contact with you" I said
"Ya"
"Any way how things been for you?" I asked
"Fine" She said
"You got any crushes" I teased
"No all the boys are assholes" She said
"And what about the girls any better?" I asked
"Other than Amy no there actually worse" She said
"Just like always" I said making us laugh. Just then Amy entered she shot us a quick smile and apologized for interrupting. She quickly grabbed something, I wasn't pay attention.
"Can you at least try with Amy" Sally said out of nowhere
"What?" I asked. Seriously I had no idea what she meant.
"You literally said minute ago I want to meet someone who doesn't know about my past" Sally said. Alright now I was getting her sort of.
"There's a reason I don't want to get to know Amy" I said
"Oh really what that" Sally said a little tick off. I really didn't want to tell her why it's dumb reason.
"The reason is…" I mumbled the rest of it she didn't hear a word.
"What did you say?" Sally asked
"I told you why you just didn't hear it" I said
"Fine if you don't want to tell me what you're reasoning behind not befriending Amy is then fine I won't intrude" Sally said. That why I liked her she knew when I when not to dig for information.
"Good" I said
"Well if you don't want to become friend with Amy then you probably won't see me the rest of your visit" Sally said with a smirk. Oh god no.
"What that supposed to mean?" I questioned
"Well I'm going to spend a lot of time with Amy so" Sally said. Alright now I got her, she always knows how to get her way.
"Fine I'll spend time with you and Amy" I said defeated. Sally stood up proud of her victory.
"Alright were going out now" Sally said. Wait What?
"Now as in right this second?" I asked
"Ya" Sally said
"Ok what are we doing?" I asked. Sally left without an answer; I did debate with myself if I should go. I eventually decided to join them. They were just about to leave when I told them I coming as well. They both shot me a smile and Sally even gave a hug.
I have to say this was without a doubt the best thing I could have done today. We walked around they want to show me all their favorite places. We started at the school which is much nicer than mine. But for most of the time we just walked around the city. I got to tell you Station square is massive! We spent 30 minutes walking around and we barley went anywhere.
Eventually we got to the mall. Shit my favorite place to go. Being stuck with 2 girls in a mall is like going to a candy store with kids, you're going to be there a long time and you're have to pay for most of it. I just followed the girl around the mall the first place we went to was… I don't know I didn't pay attention to the sign, I did know it was a book store. I just stood at the entrance waiting for the girls to come back, I felt someone tap my shoulder it was Amy. What did she want?
"Are you going to at least brose?" Amy questioned
"I might" I said turning my back to her I was looking at some of the other store around just imaging where we're going next. She sighed and grabbed my arm and dragged me around I tried to get free of her grip but it was tight, who she was this strong. When she let me go, I flew into the wall. I looked back at Amy who was almost laughing, it was kinda funny I had chuckle about it.
"Sorry" Amy said still giggling
"Don't be, I needed a better look at books such as… 'The chao who got away'" I said grabbing a random book, and by looks of a bad one. We both began to laugh again as I put the book back.
"Alright let's get out of here" Amy said walking away. I followed her and we saw Sally buying a book. We waited patiently for her. As I thought about where we should go next, I really didn't need to be trapped in a clothes store again with Sally.
Like when we were 9 we went to the mall and Sally took almost all the time picking her dress. In fact I left for 20 minutes and she was basically in the same place. It took like 3 hours to get her out of there.
And Now I got to girls it be like 10 times worse. And of course the next place we were going was clothing store oh god this will be horrible. I again stood by the entrance I'm not going in there simple as that.
"Sonic come on we won't be that long" Amy said
"No I'm not going in there, last time I went clothes shopping with Sally it was a 3 hour nightmare" I said simply. I saw Amy looked a little disappointed but Sally looked a little mad
"Ok go do something else while we're here" Sally said calmly. The girls walked off into the store. When I turned around I bumped into someone I was shocked to see they looked like the old couple from the train!
"Sorry kid didn't see ya" The man said. I stared at them making sure it really was them. Red Hedgehog with graying hair and a blue cat with some gray fur, it was them.
"You guys were on the train" I said. They looked at me confused but soon remembered me.
"You're the boy who travelled alone on the train" The woman said
"Good to see that you're safe" the man said. I was surprised to see them but I need to know one thing.
"How are you guys here you didn't get off at my stop?" I questioned
"Kid you know the train stops in more than one place in station square right" The man said
"Oh… then how did you know which stop was mine?' I asked
"We knew because" The woman was cut off by Sally running over to me.
"Sonic we'll be back in 5 minute alright" Sally said panting. She looked at the old couple a bit confused but gave them a smile and ran back into the store. I heard the man snicker.
"What?" I asked
"Just that when a…" He was cut off by the woman
"Gregg I know what you're about to say and that not true" the woman said
"Oh Amanda the boy needs to know" Gregg said well at least I knew their names. But what are they talking about.
""Well I'm not going to let you say it" Amanda said. I felt a bit uncomfortable 2 people that I barely knew arguing in front of me. I could tell they were having some fun with it. They kept smiling at each other like thieve done this before. Anyway I had to what they were talking about.
"Just tell me what you want to say" I said
"See the boy wants to know" Gregg said Amanda huffed in defeat. "When a woman is shopping for clothes when they say 5 minute they mean half an hour" Gregg said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Gregg that is not true!" Amanda exclaimed
"Alright let's look at the facts every girl I've met has done this. My mom, my 2 sisters, my friend that are girls, you, and our daughter" Gregg said walking away with some sort of victory.
Amanda stayed with a smile on her face I could tell this meant nothing to them. "Sonic listen maybe if you gave your option they would take less time" Amanda said and with that she walked away.
Ok should I stay here, go to another store, or find Amy and Sally and stay with them. I really don't know.
Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed have a good day and one more thing should I start doing to P.O.V's of other characters?
