Hey I'm back.

This story is no longer discontinued. I have found my inspiration, which is explained in my author's note at the bottom. I have a lot more ideas and I'm ready to continue this one. So without further ado, the next chapter!

Amy stormed into her house and slammed the door behind her. She threw her mask on the ground and ran for the stairs. As she ran up the stairs, she heard her mother's worried voice calling after her. Amy slammed her door and locked it. She pressed herself against the door, listening to her mother's footsteps padding up the stairs. The pink hedgehog slid down the door until her butt reached the floor. She grabbed her knees and pulled them in closer to her chest, a habit that she had adopted whenever she was upset.

"Amy? Amy, open this door," Her mother commanded sternly as she jiggled the knob.

"Please mom, just go away," Amy pleaded with a groan, wrapping her fingers tightly in her quills. Amy wasn't sure why she was so upset. It wasn't because she had a terrible experience at her very first party here. She did know, though, that her frustration had to do something with Sonic.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Her mother asked, concerned.

"I don't want to talk about it. I just need some sleep right now." Amy willed for her mother to go away.

"Okay, honey. Well, if you change your mind, let me know," Her mom said hesitantly. Amy pressed her ear against the door, listening to the sound of her mother's footsteps fading.

Slowly getting up from her sitting position, she jumped on her bed belly side down. The pink hedgehog rubbed her face against the frilly pink sheets before pulling away from them. She changed into a light green tank top and polka dotted shorts, before throwing herself under the covers.

She laid in her bed, pondering what had just happened. First, she had learned that Sonic wasn't always a player. Second, that he and Jet were rivals. And third, he was messing with her mind. She had also come to a conclusion, one that she was going to stick to. One, she would not talk to Jet to avoid the wrath of Sonic. It wasn't because she didn't like Jet, and God knows she didn't care about Sonic's opinion. She wanted to stay in the shadows of high school and getting in between Jet and Sonic, supposed rivals, would be asking for a center spotlight. And most importantly, she was not going to fall for Sonic's pretentious schemes.

Amy's blank expression changed into a mischievous one. She wanted to see the look on Sonic's face when she rejected him. After all, it's what he deserved for trying to toy with her mind. Amy smiled wickedly, planning out her actions. Amy snuggled into her covers, enjoying the idea of Sonic eating out of her hands. He intrigued her and she wanted to figure him out, without letting him win.

Amy swayed her hips from side to side as she strutted down the hallway. Girls stopped gossiping to stare at her and guys stopped checking out other girls to pay attention to the pink hedgehog. Jaws dropped as people leered at her in appreciation and jealously. Amy smirked smugly, nodding her head occasionally to acknowledge her peers. She approached her friends who were hanging around the water fountain.

"Amy?" Mina squeaked, her eyes widening as she checked her friend out.

The girls looked her up and down with a smile. Rouge whistled while the other girls hooted and catcalled her name. Amy shrugged and gave a little twirl to bask in the attention. Amy was wearing a tight red tank top with a black mini skirt. Her wedges were black and the heel was at least three inches. Her quills tumbled down her back, curling at the bottom. Her eyes were smudged in gray and her lips were colored glossy pink.

"Hey, hot stuff, looking to impress someone?" Tikal asked her with a chuckle and an eyebrow raise. Amy bit her lip, trying to hide her smirk.

"No, I just thought I'd change things up a bit," Amy said with a shrug, not letting on about her plan.

"Well, you certainly have. Damn girl! Every guy here is looking at you," Rouge said with appreciation.

"Really? I haven't noticed," Amy said innocently, but her eyes said the exact opposite. Guys were giving her plenty of attention; they winked, checked her out, and mostly likely imagined her…

Amy flushed with embarrassment for taking it that far. She just needed a guy to break Sonic's lame code or whatever it was that prevented guys from asking her out. And if that didn't work, her hot outfit would screw with Sonic's mind.

"Screw you. Now I'm gonna have to dress up to tear Shadow's eyes away from you," Mina joked before playfully punching Amy's shoulder.

The girls started laughing, but were cut off shortly by the bell ringing Mina groaned, but ran off without another word to her friends. Tikal, Cosmo, and Cream followed her, although they knew they couldn't catch up. Rouge was about to follow them, but she stopped and turned towards Amy.

"Aren't you coming?" She asked, raising one eyebrow.

"Actually, my class is in the other direction, so I'll see ya at lunch," Amy told her with a wink before walking in the opposite direction. Rouge murmured something under her breath with a smirk, but walked in the other direction.

She still had five minutes to get to her class anyway, so she might as well see if he would show up. Amy walked over to her locker and slowly pulled out her books for calculus. She looked to her left and to her disappointment, she found that Sonic was not there. Sighing, she shut her locker and jumped a bit when she became face to face with Sonic.

"If you're trying to scare me, it's not working," Amy said with smirk, as she walked towards her class.

"Miss Rose, I was only trying to surprise you," Sonic said slyly as he kept pace with Amy.

"No, you want something. What do you want hedgehog?" She asked with a teasing smile.

"Me? No. On the contrary, Amy, I think it's you who wants me," Sonic said flirtatiously. When her name rolled off the tip of Sonic's tongue, Amy couldn't help but shudder slightly.

"Maybe I do," Amy said suggestively, turning to look at Sonic. She caressed his cheek, but then pulled her hand back. She shook her head with a smirk.

"Or maybe not," She said nonchalantly, with a shrug as she walked down the hallway by herself. Sonic stared after her in disbelief for a few seconds, but then mentally scolded himself for feeling surprised.

"Seeya later Sonic," Amy chirped as she walked inside the classroom.

Sonic peeked into the classroom Amy was sitting in and licked his lips. He checked Amy's butt out in that tiny skirt as she walked to her desk. The blue hedgehog couldn't help but grin because her tank top hugged her curves in all the right places. With one last glance, Sonic smirked and sped out of there. He had so many dirty thoughts, but he had to push them aside. Amy had a new offensive line, which was nothing too hard to break down. But then again, no one else had rejected him before.

Amy Rose was going to be his, and only his.

Amy scooted out of her class, glad that lunch was finally her because she was starving. She hadn't been able to eat breakfast that morning, because she didn't want to face her mother in her outfit. Her mom would have killed her, made her changed clothes, and then kill her again.

She hurried through the halls towards the cafeteria so she could get some food in her stomach. Her stomach had been rumbling all day. It would have been totally embarrassing if people had noticed, but luckily for her, they hadn't. If they had, they probably would have made up stupid rumors like she was anorexic or something stupid like that.

Reaching for the cafeteria door, a hand yanked her backwards. Irritated, she turned around and saw a crocodile grabbing her hand. Amy realized it was Victor, captain of the football team. He winked at her and pulled her closer. Amy scowled, knowing he had a bad reputation and that she didn't want anything to do with him. Rumor has it that Victor was into drug dealing and that he's been arrested…twice. He was too criminal-like for Amy's taste.

"How's about you and me go out sometime?" He asked in his scratchy, deep voice. Amy tried her best not to wince.

"No thanks," She said, trying not to sound irritated. She turned to go, but he held her by the wrist tightly.

"Let go," Amy said impatiently, her eyes narrowing.

"Not until you agree to go out with me," Victor demanded, squeezing her hand tighter.

"No. Now let go," Amy cried out angrily, attempting to struggle out of his grip.

Before she knew it, her hand was free. She rubbed her wrist gently and her arm fell to her side again. Surprised, she saw Sonic standing in front of her, his arm thrown in front of Amy protectively. He shot Victor a dark grin before throwing the crocodile against the lockers. People gathered in the hallway to whisper, mainly girls swooned over Sonic's strength.

"You really don't want to test me do you? Victor, when Amy says no, she means it," Sonic said darkly.

"Sorry Sonic man, I didn't know she was yours," Victor tried to apologize. He tried to back up, but found that he was pressed against the lockers.

Sonic smirked. "Not so tough, are you now?" The blue hedgehog slammed him into another locker.

"Sonic, stop it," Amy said softly, grabbing his wrist.

It took all of his free will to let go of Victor's body. Sonic grabbed Amy's hand, leading her into the cafeteria. He pulled her into the lunch line. Amy yanked her hand away, but stayed in line with Sonic.

"You okay?" He asked her emotionless, not looking at her. She nodded and smiled.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it," Sonic said, handing her a tray.

As they grabbed their food, the hedgehogs stood in silence. Amy wanted to say something else, but she was speechless for the time being. Breaking the tension, Sonic walked over to his table and sat across from Knuckles and Shadow. Peeking at Sonic out of the corner of her eye, Amy walked over to her regular table and sat down next to Mina. She looked up to see all of them frowning at her.

"What's up with all of you?" Amy asked curiously as she bit into her sandwich.

"Are you going out with Sonic the hedgehog?" Cosmo blurted out.

"What? No way," Amy responded with a laugh.

"Then what were you doing holding his hand?" Cream asked her.

"He saved my butt from Victor being an ass. He grabbed my hand to lead me away. It was nothing guys," Amy tried to convince them, but mostly herself.

"Good. We don't want to see you get hurt," Tikal said with concern, leaning across the table to pat Amy's hand softly.

"Huh?" Amy asked puzzled. She looked around and saw that everyone was staring at her sympathetically.

"Because it's what he does. He's a player Amy. He uses girls and breaks their hearts in the end," Rouge pointed out.

"I know. Don't worry about me guys. I don't have a crush on Sonic," Amy stated as she took a sip of her water.

All of them looked around at each other, giving each other pointed looks. Amy caught on and groaned. She grabbed her empty tray and stood up.

"Guys, I'm serious. I don't like him, okay? I'm out," Amy said bitterly, as she dumped her food and placed her tray in the bin. A pair of green eyes watched her walk out of the cafeteria and out of sight.

She then walked out the exit door and towards the abandoned playground. Amy sat down on a rusted swing and pushed herself off the ground. Shutting her eyes, Amy took a deep breath and pumped her legs. She sighed softly, feeling the wind caress her face as she swung back and forth.

"Pretty huh?" A voice from behind her called.

"Yeah, I guess it is," Amy heard herself say. Jet took the swing next to her and started swinging up and down.

"So Amy, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime," He asked gently.

Her opens opened abruptly. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not really looking to date someone right now," Amy said as she titled her face sideways to face Jet and look him in the eye.

"Oh, okay," He said, his disappointment was evident.

"I'm sorry," Amy said apologetically before saying, "It's not you, I'm just not over someone else I used to know." Although Amy didn't have feelings for her ex boyfriend Johnny Lightfoot anymore, she was trying to make up an excuse so that she wouldn't hurt Jet.

"No problem. I'm used to it. Pretty girls don't usually go for me," He said with a shrug.

"Well, that's weird because you're seem like a really great guy, Jet."

"You think so?" Jet said, his swing coming to a stop.

"I do," Amy said with smile. She stopped swinging to look at him. Turning his swing towards her, he watched her blush because they were close enough for her to feel his warm breath tickle her neck. Jet then leaned in to kiss her, but Amy pulled away. She was embarrassed that he didn't get what she was trying to say.

"Jet, I said no." Amy said, irritated. She stood up and brushed the invisible dirt off of her skirt.

"Don't go Amy. I'm sorry."

"Yeah, well…whatever. Class is going to start soon. I guess I'll see you at the opening football game," Amy said dully, before walking away.

Walking back inside, Amy decided to change into different clothes because she realized she had no interest in impressing anyone. She had enough of capturing perverted guy's attention. Anyway, if she was going to establish a reputation for herself at this school, she refused to be the slut of the school. The pink hedgehog just wanted to be herself, plain old Amy. She walked into the bathroom with her backpack that contained a pair of clothes to change into. Locking herself in the stall, she changed out of her clothes and put on a light blue zippered sweatshirt and black jeans. She gazed at herself and the mirror and smiled. It was more her then the earlier outfit. Satisfied with herself, she walked out of the girl's bathroom to find an unfortunate surprise. The cheerleaders stood outside of the bathroom with their arms crossed over their chests.

"What's up?" Amy asked casually, ignoring hateful glares they were giving her.

The majority of the cheerleaders snorted at her or rolled their eyes before walking into the bathroom. Amy felt one of them bump her "on accident." To her dismay, she noticed that Sally had stayed behind.

"Don't steal the show this time, you little bitch. I guess you haven't heard, but Sonic is mine, and don't you forget that," She said as she shoved Amy aside and followed her fellow squad.

"Why does everyone keep thinking I like Sonic?" Amy murmured harshly to herself. "And who does that chipmunk, squirrel or whatever the hell she is, think she is? Megan Fox? Yeah right."

Amy slung her backpack over her shoulders and walked out the doors, toward the stadium. Loud music blared from the stadium and the fans cheered loudly. She picked up the pace, not wanting to miss an important moment. Reaching the bleachers, Amy climbed up the steps to the highest level and threw her bag on the ground. She sat down next to Tikal, right on the edge. She was at least fifteen feet off the ground. Normally, this would worry her, but she was pretty distracted by today's events.

"Glad to see you Amy," Cosmo chirped, happily. Cream nodded and smiled at her with affection.

"You made it just in time," Mina noted. Amy muttered an excuse about she being in the bathroom.

Squinting her eyes, she looked at the football field to see that the teams were still warming up. Sally and the other cheerleaders were talking to some of the football players, not including Shadow, Silver, and Knuckles, who were talking about something in a corner.

To her dismay, Amy watched Sally walk over to Sonic and throw herself at him. Sonic caught her, but he put her down immediately. Amy's eyes lit up in surprise when she caught Sonic's annoyed look. Her breath caught when she felt his gaze turn towards the bleachers. When Sonic caught Amy's eye, he grinned and winked. Amy rolled her eyes, but smiled.

"AMY! Are you listening to me?" Rouge called out, reaching across Tikal to shake Amy.

Amy was taken back by Rouge's movement towards her, causing her to lean backwards. She wobbled her arms to keep balance, but it wasn't good enough. Amy felt time slow down as she felt her body slip from the bleachers. All she could see were her friends peering over the bleachers, shouting at her.

"AMY!" Rouge screamed.

Amy felt her heart beating rapidly as she let out a scream. She was falling off the bleachers and was surely going crack her head open on the sidewalk. Bracing herself for the pain, Amy closed her eyes and waited for her body to hit the ground painfully, but it never came. Instead, she felt like she was in someone's arms…someone muscular. Opening one eye to make sure she hadn't cracked her head open, Amy found herself staring into a pair of dreamy emerald green eyes.

"Sonic?" She asked softly.

She was cuddled in Sonic's muscular arms, unharmed. Amy looked down at the ground and for any sign of blood, but she couldn't find any. Looking back into Sonic's eyes, she was puzzled as to why Sonic looked extremely pale.

"What's wrong?" Amy asked him.

"Jesus Christ, Amy! You almost killed yourself by falling off the bleachers and you're asking me what's wrong?" Sonic spat out quickly and worriedly.

"Oh, that," Amy grinned sheepishly.

"Yeah, that," He said bitterly. His expression softened. "Are you okay?"

"I'm good," Amy replied as Sonic gently put her down. Amy pretended to brush the dirt off of her pants, because she didn't want to look him in the eye. Feeling his eyes on her, she forced herself to look into his green eyes.

"Thank you…again," Amy said with a smile.

"You gotta be more careful. Dammit it Amy! You almost gave me a heart attack when I saw you falling," Sonic whispered harshly, running a hand through his quills.

"I'm sorry," Amy said apologetically, her cheeks warming. Although she was embarrassed for giving him a scare, she felt extremely pleased that Sonic was worried about her and had run all the way over here to rescue her.

Wait...why did Sonic save her? She was just another girl he flirted with, right? Amy didn't mean anything to him. Unless…unless maybe he felt something for her? No. Never. That would never happen. Why even think of that?

I know why. You want to be different, Amy thought bitterly to herself.

"Amy?" A concerned voice asked.

"I'm okay," Amy tried to sound convincing as she stood still for a moment.

"Do you think you'll be okay if I play the game?" Sonic asked her with a smirk and one eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, yeah. Go. Fight. Win. Whatever you guys do in football," Amy said with a smile, shooing him towards the field.

Sonic cracked a smile. A real, a genuine smile. It wasn't forced or even flirtatious. Amy couldn't help but smile back at him before he sped off to play his football game. Amy felt a bit surprised by his small smile since she was so used to seeing his badass, sexy smirk. But his smile was different…nice.

Amy rejoined her spot next to Tikal, unable to figure out her feelings for Sonic. She did know one thing though. Amy made sure she stayed as far away from the edge as she possibly could.

Well, maybe two things. She really liked his smile.
