I decided to give you guys two chapters in one day. Since school starts back for me this week I won't be able to update as often as I would like to, which absolutely SUCKS! Don't worry though I won't let this story go without an ending. I plan to have at least 20 chapters. but enjoy Chapter four of Roses Turn Blue!
Chapter Four: Is That You?
Amanda woke up feeling like a brand new person….literally. She sat up from her bed and turned off her alarm ringing beside her. She was excited, yet a feeling of anxiety arose her.
What will they think of her?
She hopped out of her bed and began searching through her large closet in hopes of finding a nice outfit. "A HA!" She found a red and white dress and a white shoulder sweater with red strappy flats. Before she got dressed, she took a shower, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. She got dressed and straightened her long hair and put on a red headband.
After applying mascara and lipgloss, she looked at her reflection in the mirror in satisfaction. She smiled and headed downstairs to find her guardian angel in the kitchen, who was making breakfast on the stove. She looked up at Amanda and smiled.
"Good Morning Amelia, sleep well?"
"I slept okay, did you?"
"I'm angel sweetie. What's sleep to me?" She chuckled. Amanda joined in her laughter. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Arella walked over to Amanda at the table and set down her plate of food. "Waffles, bacon, and strawberries. Your favorite."
"Thank you." Amanda took a bite out of her food and moaned from the taste. "Wow Arella, this is wonderful!"
"Eh, I try." She joked. Arella then handed Amanda a backpack. "Here, its full of school supplies you'll need for this year. You don't want to start senior year off on the wrong foot."
Amanda choked on the strawberry she was eating and looked up at her mentor. "Senior year?!"
"Yes, it's been a little over a year since your death…"
"You failed to mention that Arella! I seriously think everyone has moved on now!"
Arella frowned. "Well of course they have moved on Amelia, they had no choice. But their hurt still lies within."
"If you say so." Amanda said defeated. Arella placed a shoulder on her arm. "They still love and miss you. I don't think, I know."
Amanda gave her a small smile. "Alright, well I'm gonna go ahead and go then." She stood up from the table and grabbed the backpack. "Have a great day!" Arella yelled as Amanda headed out of the door.
"Heh, I'll try."
The magenta hedgehog approached Station Square High. Of course, the school looked the same. She looked around and saw both familiar and new faces.
Here goes nothing
She pulled out her schedule from her binder and started to search for her new class, also searching for her old friends.
Where is every-
Amanda suddenly fell to the floor as she bumped into somebody. "Oh my Chaos, I am so-" Her speech burned in her throat as she saw who the person was.
Fear immediately struck her as she froze. It was him.
"Watch where the fuck you're going next time."
Blake….
What the HELL was he doing here
Why wasn't he in jail?!
Amanda furrowed her brows at him. "Excuse me?!"
"You heard me. Look the fuck out." He spat at her.
"Nah, I don't think I will for assholes like you."
Blake gritted his teeth. "Why you little-"
"Leave her alone!"
Both hedgehogs turned around to see a short, tan colored rabbit, but Amanda knew that face from anywhere.
Cream
Cream had a look of disgust plastered on her face. "Always abusing women, Don't you have anything better to do?"
Blake scowled at her and stood on his feet. "Whatever." He walked away from the scene, while Amanda was still in shock from what just occurred. She wondered what everybody thought happened to her the day she was killed.
Cream walked up to her and held out her hand. "Need help?" Amanda hesitantly took her hand and stood on her feet. "Thanks."
"No problem, and don't mind him, he's a complete jerk."
He's a murderer too…
"I see." Amanda said uneasily. It was hard for her to forget what happened that night, and why he was free from jail.
"Are you new around here?"
"You could say that, but I know my way around here Cream."
The rabbit looked at her strange. "How do you know my name?"
Oh shit…
Amanda panicked for a second until she looked at her binder and saw Cream's name on it.
"Uh….your binder?"
Cream looked down at it and slapped herself on the forehead. "Duh! Silly me." She giggled. Amanda fake laughed and gave a nervous smile.
That was close
"So what's your name?"
"Amanda, Amanda Ross." She smiled at her old friend. Well old "new" friend. Cream offered a smile back. "Welcome to Station Square High. Pretty cool school if you ask me, been here since freshman year."
Yeah, I know
Amanda only nodded at her. The bell suddenly rang, warning students who were late for class. "Shoot! There's the bell. I gotta go," Cream started to walk but then turned to Amanda.
"Say, do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" Cream asked. Amanda smiled at her brightly. "Sure."
Cream smiled at her. "Great, see you later Amanda!" The rabbit scurried off so she wouldn't be too late. Amanda kept the smile on her face and she then walked to her first class of the day.
Amanda walked in the cafeteria in search for her friend. She then heard a light voice. "Amanda! Over here!"
The magenta hedgehog turned to see Cream waving her hands and gesturing her to come to where she was. She walked over to her with a grin. "Hi Cream."
"Hey, come, I want you to meet the others."
Amanda followed Cream and she immediately saw all of her old friends.
Everyone looked so well and happy, she instantly felt joy inside her. Scourge, Tails, Shadow, Silver, Manic, Knuckles, Rouge, Sonia, Blaze, Sally, Vector, Charmy, and Espio were all laughed and engaged in their own conversations. She missed them dearly. But there were 2 people missing….
"Hey guys!" The table look up at Cream. "I'd like you all to meet Amanda Ross. She's new here and is pretty cool."
Everyone shifted their eyes to Amanda as she looked at them nervously and waved. "Hello." The table grew quiet and everyone felt uncomfortable.
Well they're acting strange….
Tails broke the awkward silence. "It's nice to meet you Amanda." He held out his hand to her and she shook it. "You too." Everyone each introduced their names to her, but the air was still awkward.
"Cream doesn't usually bring new people to our group, you must be pretty special." The kitsune said smiling at both of them. Cream playfully hit his arm. "Oh shut up."
"There's more people to our group, I just don't know where they are at the moment." Amanda nodded. As soon as he said that, a hot pink hedgehog approached the table.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late I was-" the hedgehog girl abruptly stopped and stared at Amanda, who was also staring back. Amanda's eyes welled up as she stared at the girl, because she knew exactly who it was.
Her old twin sister, Rosy, was right there in front of her. Oh how she missed her little sister. She quickly blinked the tears in her eyes away as the two continued to have a mini staring contest.
"Uhh…do you two know each other?" Cream asked, wondering what was going on. Rosy turned to everyone else. "Who is this?"
"Amanda Ross." Scrouge spoke up suddenly.
"Amanda Ross?"
"Yeah," Manic chimed in. "Sounds kinda like-OW!" The green hedgehog yelped when his older brother kicked him in the shin to keep him quiet. Scrouge glared at him afterwards, but didn't say anything.
Rosy looked at both of them then started to back away. "I'll see you guys later…" The hot pink hedgehog quickly walked away from her friends. Amanda wanted to go after her, but she stayed put. She lowered her gaze and felt a hand on her shoulder.
"She's gotta warm up to ya...she's not good at meeting new people." They both knew that was a lie. Rosy loved meeting new people, she was a socialite butterfly.
"Hey, has anyone seen Sonic?" Silver asked.
"Don't think he came to school today dude, you know how he is" Manic shrugged.
Sonic….
Cutting school? Doesn't sound like him at all!
"He's proabably somewhere with some chick again." Scrouge said rolling his eyes.
Some chick?
Oh why does it matter, I'm not his girlfriend anymore...
Amanda suddenly felt uneasy. She turned to the group of friends. "I'll see you guys later."
Before anyone could say anything, Amanda walked away from the table and out of the cafeteria. She wish she could talk to her sister, and her old boyfriend. She wondered where he was. She walked out of a side door that led outside of the school to get some fresh air, but she turned to see something she wish she didn't see.
Her lover.
The blue hedgehog himself, kissing a purple mongoose girl on the school wall. His arms were wrapped around her and the girl's hands were running through his quills. Amanda stood there like a statue, unable to move as tears welled up in her eyes. She felt a horrible pain in her chest. Sonic still stood tall, but he looked a little different. His quills were longer and his ears were pierced. He had a tiger tattoo on his left arm and wore a red shirt, dark jeans and red sneakers. She never would've thought he would get a makeover like this.
The young 'couple' turned to her.
Sonic stared at her for a second with his eyes wide, but he quickly retreated to a scowl on his face.
"Uh….Do you mind?"
Amanda continued to stand there and started to stutter.
"I-I"
"Go away freak! Don't you see we're in the middle of something?" the mongoose girl yelled to Amanda.
"Chill Mina, we'll settle this later." He winked at her making the girl blush. Amanda felt sick to her stomach.
So he moved on…?
"And as for you, why the hell are you still here?" He asked irritably, those beautiful lime green eyes staring at her.
Amanda shook her thoughts and ran as fast as her feet could carry her. She didn't know where she was going, but she couldn't stay there any longer.
Sonic…what happened to you?
Well, Amanda/Amy obviously had a pretty rough day. Wonder what happened to Sonic, and why are the others acting kinda strange? Especially Rosy? Next chapter Amanda and Sonic interact more. Share your thoughts! Until next time.
