IMPORTANT: so i've had reviewers ask me if Amy is new to the school, and the answer is yes she is. guess i should have mentioned that in the first chapter :S whoops! and the second important thing is updates. guys, you have absolutley no idea how hard my classes are this year. first few days of school, and im already bombarded with homework. thats the only thing that sucks about universtiy prep. so i cant really promise when the next chapter will be up. hopefully you guys understand though, because to me, my education is a priority.

anyways, hopefully you like the second chapter of Beauty and the Nerd! review!

"Buenos días" said the Spanish teacher as she walked into the class, with papers in her hand.

She was a tall, slim cat with long black hair. She stood in front of the class, looking at everyone. "My name is Mrs. Estrada and I am your Spanish teacher and your homeroom teacher" she told everyone, in her strong Hispanic accent.

Sonic sighed, already feeling bored. He looked over at Tails, who was looking at Cream from across the room. Sonic smirked. Tails never did admit that he liked Cream, but he would go as red as a tomato whenever he mentioned her name.

To Sonic's disappointment, Amy was not in his homeroom. He rested his elbows against the desk as he began to daydream about her. He replayed their talk-which was now embarrassing-in his head and sighed dreamily. He remembered how her eyes twinkled excitedly when she spoke to him. The way her perfectly curved lips formed words, how her cute dimples appeared when she smiled, or the way she leaned in to listen and grasp every word you spoke…

"Ahem!" said Mrs. Estrada as she stuck a paper under his nose.

Sonic snapped back to reality and blushed as he realized that the teacher was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. He took the paper with a shaky hand, and caught a glimpse of the teacher smiling slightly.

"Sorry…" he muttered sheepishly. The room filled with small laughter, others shushing. He looked over at Tails, who was just shaking his head. Sonic sunk into his seat and looked down, shying away from everyone around him.

Mrs. Estrada began talking again, but Sonic was quick to tune her out. Amy just kept invading his thoughts. To some degree, it was getting frustrating. He could barley focus now, and he didn't want that to affect his grades.

"Alright, I will begin to take attendance, so if I don't call your name, you don't belong here" she said flatly and took out clipboard from her desk.

Sonic sat up straight and pushed Amy out of his mind. He didn't want to humiliate himself, again.

"Heather?"

"Here"

"Katie?"

"Hi!"

"Max?"

"Hola!", People laughed a little.

"Greg?"

"Yo"

"Cream?"

"Here" she said politely. He saw that her and Tails were looking at each other from the corner of his eye.

"Sonic?"

"Present" he said formally.

"Tails?"

"Here"

After ten more names, she sent down someone to hand in the attendance. The teacher stood in front of the room and clasped her hands together to get everyone's attention.

"Ok, class! For tomorrow, I want you write a paragraph about yourself, in Spanish of course. You will present it in front of everyone first thing tomorrow. I want to see where you all are in this language and this does count for marks! I'll give you the rest of class time to work on this and I'll allow you to work with friends, as long as everyone is working quietly" she told everyone and went to take a seat in her desk.

The people around Sonic moved and he motioned for Tails to come sit with him. Tails grabbed his belongings and took the desk next to Sonic.

"Thinking about Amy?" teased Tails, while nudging him in the arm.

Sonic blushed a bit, but was quick to get him back. "Well, don't think I didn't see you staring at Cream"

"I have no idea what you're talking about" said Tails casually. "How much do we have to write again?" he asked, obviously trying to change the subject.

"One paragraph" Sonic said. Tails nodded and opened his book.

Sonic sighed as he took out his binder. He began to write in his neat handwriting.

¡Hola, amigos! Yo me llamo Sonic. Yo tengo diez-y-siete años. Mi cumpleaños es el veinte-y-tres de Junio. A mí me gusta leer libros, escribir, y yo trato de sacar buenas notas. Yo tengo una hermana mayor, y un hermano mayor. Mi hermana se llama Sonia y mi hermano se llama Manic. Yo soy el menor de la familia.

( Translation: Hello, friends! My name is Sonic. I am seventeen years old. My birthday is on June, 23rd. I like to read books, write, and I try to get good marks. I have an older sister and an older brother. My sister's name is Sonia and my brother's name is Manic. I am the youngest in the family. )

He set his pen down, and read over it. Simple, yet it showed his advanced skills.

During the summer, he decided to watch some Spanish soap operas, just for the fun of it. They were the most dramatic thing he had ever seen on television. Husbands cheating on their wives, people that hated each other turned out to be related, non-stop cat fights, tons of murder mysteries, so many love triangles, and other things that made you angry and sad. But in the end, it did help him with his Spanish (but that was only because the soap opera had English sub-titles).

He looked at Tails, who had one sentence written on his page in his messy writing. Tails looked over at Sonic's paper and sighed.

"Always an over-achiever…" he muttered, but not loud enough for Sonic to hear.

Sonic had once again wandered into the dream cloud with Amy. He began asking himself questions. What school did she come from? What was her favorite color? What did she value the most? What did she want to do after high school? What was the most important quality she looked for in a man?

Sonic's ears perked at the students next to him. Two girls were chatting in high pitched voices and making excited squealing noises.

"Shadow asked me if I wanted to go to his house after school!" said one while she bounced in her chair happily.

The girl beside her, who was dressed exactly like her friend, looked at her with big eyes and a wide smile. She slapped her arm. "No way, shut UP! So lucky!" she told her as the both linked hands and squealed like dolphins.

Sonic flattened his ears back and curled his mouth in disgust. Just hearing the name put him in a bad mood. He then remembered how he tried to flirt with Amy, but epically failed. He smiled at the thought, easing his nerves. But his smile quickly vanished when Shadow's voice echoed in his head.

You better watch your back, nerd

He looked down at his lap, sadly. It was funny how a girl could make you forget what you were constantly labeled as at school. It was nice to forget about it, even for just a minute. But when you came back down to reality, it hurt you to the core.

I should just forget about Amy…It's not like I'd ever have a chance with her, anyway thought Sonic.

"Hey, Amy seemed to like you a lot" said Tails suddenly as he looked at his friend, as if reading his mind.

Sonic's mind completely blanked. He looked up at Tails with eager eyes. "You really think so?" he asked him.

Tails nodded while looking at Sonic sincerely. "I can tell when someone's made a great impression on Amy, and believe me, she likes you" he continued while scribbling a few more things down on his paper.

This made Sonic happy once again. Of course, he did realize that Tails meant that Amy liked him as a friend, but it was certainly a good start.

The bell rang and students quickly put their things away and scurried off to their next class. Sonic got out his schedule and waved goodbye to Tails.

"I'll meet you at your locker for lunch" he called out before going the opposite direction as Sonic.

Sonic looked down at the paper in his hands and saw that he had English class.

"World's easiest subject" he told himself as he headed for the class. He walked around the halls, trying to find the class number.

He finally found the door that was labeled 114, and saw that the teacher was holding the door open for everyone. He approached the class and the old, short, fat, mongoose teacher smiled brightly at him.

"Hello there" she greeted him warmly. Sonic nodded politely as he entered the room.

When he first looked around, he thought he was the first person there. His eye caught a glimpse of someone sitting in the very back corner. He skidded to a stop.

There sat Amy Rose, crossed legged and looking down at her binder. She looked up from her book and met Sonic's gaze. She smiled widely as she waved and pointed to the seat next to her.

Sonic looked over his shoulders, trying to see if she was talking to someone else. He was the only other person in the room. He pointed at himself, trying to clarify if she was actually talking to him.

She laughed softly. "Yes, you! Come sit beside me!" she told him.

Without much hesitation, Sonic speed-walked to take a seat in the desk next to her. He almost made it to the desk.

Almost.

He really wasn't paying much attention to where he walked. His foot got stuck in one of the desk legs, making him fall face-flat on the floor right beside her. His glasses fell a few meters away from him.

"Sonic!" she gasped and quickly got up to help him up. He groaned softly from the intense embarrassment.

She took him by the arms and tried to pick him up with all the strength she had. He supported himself with the desk he was going to sit in and stood up. He looked at Amy, who still held him by the arms, with a worried look in her eyes.

"Are you alright?" she asked him.

Before Sonic answered, he looked at his arms. Her hands still rested on them, her grip firm yet gentle. Her touch made him feel all squiggly inside. Amy followed Sonic's gaze, her eyes widening slightly as she realized she was still holding him.

"Sorry!" she said quickly, and jerked her hands away. She was looking a little pinker than usual.

Sonic cocked his head in confusion while he looked at her flustered look. Why was she embarrassed? He was the one who completely wiped out in front of her! Sonic remembered Amy's question and spoke.

"Uh, I'm fine …" he said while brushing the dirt off of his jeans.

Amy smiled and turned around to reach for his glasses that were on the floor. When she bent down, Sonic's eyes widened when he caught a glimpse of her butt. He jerked his head to the side, mentally slapping himself for such outrageous behavior.

Amy turned back to Sonic and wiped his glasses with her shirt. She handed them to him and he gratefully accepted them. He put them back on his face and pushed them up.

"Thanks" he said, bashfully.

She smiled at him. "You're even clumsier than me…"she teased, but in a friendly way.

Thankfully, it was still only him and her in the classroom. Sonic slipped into the seat beside her-without falling, of course-and nervously fiddled with his fingers. He was so happy that Tails was right. It did seem that Amy liked Sonic so far, so that was definitely a plus. The only thing he didn't like was how panicky and jumpy he was when she was around. His body felt like JELL-O and he felt as if his heart had risen up to his throat.

Amy took out a piece of paper from her binder and turned her body to face him. Sonic looked up at her.

"Let's see if we have any other classes together" she suggested.

Sonic nodded and took out his schedule from his pocket. He saw that he couldn't keep his hand steady, so he quickly handed it to her before she could notice.

She took it and looked back and forth between the papers, focused completely on them. After a few more seconds, she sighed sadly as she handed him back his schedule.

"This is the only class we have together" she said as she bit her lip.

Sonic shrugged his shoulders, although he was upset too. "At least we have this class" he said, trying to be optimistic. Amy's sad frown vanished as she nodded.

They watched people walk in the classroom. A few more students started to fill in the empty rows of desks. Rouge and Blaze walked in together and waved at Amy. Both of them suddenly glared at Sonic and whispered things to each other before sitting on the other side of the room. Sonic shifted in his seat, uneasily.

"Hey, Amy! Come sit with us!" called Rouge was she pointed to the desk behind her and Blaze.

He looked down at his hands, but secretly watched Amy from the corner of his eye. He knew she was probably going to get up and leave him there, all alone in the corner. But to his surprise, he saw her shake her head as she stayed put.

"Sorry, girls, but I'm already sitting with Sonic" she called back. She sounded completely firm with her decision.

Sonic looked at Amy in amazement. Did she really just turn down her own friends to stay with him? Amy smiled at him sweetly.

"I know you're just trying to be nice. You don't have to sit with me if you don't want to" mumbled Sonic unhappily as he looked down at the floor.

Amy frowned. "I'm not trying to be nice. I want to sit with you" she told him.

Sonic's head jerked right up at her, his cheeks going pink. "W-What?" he asked, wanting to hear those words one more time.

"I want to sit with you, Sonic. But if you don't want me to sit here…" she trailed off as she looked at her books with a sad frown.

Sonic immediately shook his head. "No. Stay"

Amy looked back at him, a tiny smile slowly appearing across her face. Sonic smiled back as him and Amy shared a special moment. Sonic practically had hearts dancing around his head right now.

Sonic leaned back in his chair, confidently. He looked over at Rouge and Blaze, who had shock written all over their faces. He saw Rouge turn to Blaze and heard her speak.

"Has she lost her mind?" said Rouge in a quiet tone. Blaze shrugged her shoulders while shaking her head in disappointment.

Both Amy and Sonic's attention turned to the door as soon as Shadow walked into the room.

Great…Just freakin' great… thought Sonic sarcastically to himself. His insides started twisting with anger as flashbacks from this morning played in his head.

"Shadow! Over here!" called Rouge as she pointed to the desk she originally asked Amy to sit in.

Shadow smiled and nodded as he went to take a seat. He looked around the classroom and he frowned when he saw me and Amy sitting together.

"What the fuck?" he said to Rouge and Blaze, who started laughing but quickly tried to cover it. He said it loud enough so that both Sonic and Amy could hear. He slumped lazily in his desk and threw his feet up on the one across from him.

Sonic's ears flattened slightly as he looked away from them. He was trying so hard not to look weak in front of them, but it was getting harder with each teasing word. Amy noticed that Sonic looked upset. She leaned into Sonic and whispered "I won't leave you. I promise"

And that was all Sonic needed to smile again. He looked at her and she winked.

"Hey, Amy! Why don't you ditch that loser there and come sit with your real friends, over here?" he said and motioned to the desk beside him. People around the room went quiet as they all tuned into their conversation.

Everyone listened to what Amy had to say, especially Sonic.

"The only loser I see in this room is you. Plus, I'm already sitting with my real friend. He's more real than you'll ever be, Shadow" said Amy angrily as she stood up for Sonic.

Everyone in the room 'ooo-ed' at Amy's comment, while others barked with laughter.

Shadow's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe, nor Rouge or Blaze, that Amy had just turned down all three of them. They were all the most popular people in this school. Amy, being the new girl, had the chance to become one of them. She definitely had the looks to fit in, but certainly not the personality.

Sonic stared at Amy, his mouth open as well. Amy shrugged her shoulder. "What? It's true" was all she was able to say before the teacher walked in.

She pointed to Shadow. "Feet off the desk!"

He obeyed immediately, but gave Sonic the dirtiest look he had ever received. His red eyes burned with anger. Sonic on the other hand, smirked at him. Shadow shook his head before turning his head forward to face the teacher.

"Hello, class! My name is Ms. Sunnydale, and I'll be your English teacher for the semester" she chimed happily as she gave everyone a cheerful smile. Her bright yellow blouse was blinding, along with her long, vibrant pink skirt.

Sonic hated teachers like this.

They treated everyone like kindergarteners instead of high school students. Although many students loved it when their teachers were major pushovers, to Sonic, it was a complete joke. He would be lucky if he walked away learning at least one thing in this class.

"I hope everyone likes where they're sitting because that will be your seat for the rest of the year" she said.

Sonic looked at Amy. She beamed happily as she nodded, answering Ms. Sunnydale's question. Sonic practically melted in his seat.

"I want you to choose a partner for this activity, class" she told everyone. Sonic looked around the room, trying to see if anyone would partner up with him. He didn't see anyone looking his way. He felt a poke on his shoulder and he turned his head to Amy.

"Want to be partners?" she asked him.

"A-Are you sure? Don't you want to go with Rouge or Blaze?" he asked her, making sure she was certain with her choice.

She shook her head. "Nope! Well, is it a yes or a no?" she questioned, but smirked teasingly.

Sonic laughed. "It's a yes" he said.

Amy did a small fist pump in the air, making Sonic laugh harder. Amy Rose was all smiles around Sonic, and he liked it a lot. She was the coolest girl he had ever met.

"Has everyone chosen their partners?" asked the teacher as she looked around.

Everyone nodded. "Good! You will have to get to know your partner as much as possible. In this assignment, you will be presenting your partner to the class" explained the teacher. "Also, this person is going to be your partner for all group-assignments. So get comfortable with each other!"

Sonic turned to Amy. "You sure you still want to be partners with me? I don't….I don't want you to get picked on" he told her quietly.

Amy gave him a weird look. "I don't care what other people think" she smiled suddenly. "Let's hope you don't get sick of me, though"

Sonic smiled back. "Yeah. Let's hope" he joked. Amy giggled, a sound Sonic could listen to forever.

"Presentations are next week, so get cracking children" she boomed before organizing some papers around her desk.

Sonic saw that Shadow and Rouge were working together, and also saw that they were glaring at him, too. They said things to each other, quietly, as they exchanged glances between Sonic and Amy. But Sonic didn't care. Not one bit.

"Alright, Sonic…if that's even your real name" joked Amy as she grabbed her notebook and her pen. "Tell me about yourself"

Sonic never imagined in a million years that Amy would be asking this to him. With each passing second, and each heart-melting smile, he felt himself falling faster and faster for the girl.
