Forget Me Not (A Sonic High School AU)

Cables, Keyboards & Monitors

Well, it's my second day at Emerald High and so far, things have been going smoothly. Those bullies were nowhere to be seen this morning, I took my classes normally, and I had lunch with Charmy and Cream again. But the one thing I've been looking forward to is my first meeting with the tech club.

The end-of-school bell just rang which meant that it was time for the afterschool clubs. So I went ahead and started looking for the library, because apparently that's where they have their meeting. To be honest, I found it a bit odd since, wouldn't they have some sort of computer lab or some sort of dedicated class for clubs? But I guess the only way of figuring that out is to come and see for myself.

A few minutes later, I found the place. And I gotta say, it's a lot bigger than I expected, bigger than the ones in elementary and junior high too. There were bookcases and desks as far as the eye can see. But that means finding the tech club is gonna be a bit hard without some directions, so I asked the librarian and she told me it's in the deepest corner of the library, away from the door.

So I went there... only to find two people and exactly one computer. Oh boy. I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a small-town school. Anyway, those two people looked older than me. One of them is a white hedgehog boy who's wearing a white shirt (with its sleeves rolled up), a green vest, a watch on his left wrist, some tan trousers, and a pair of brown loafers—which is pretty sharp and neat for a high schooler, I'd say—and the other one is a purple cat... girl, I think? Judging from her figure it's a she, but from the way she's dressed, —with her gray t-shirt under a denim jacket, a pair of black jeans and red sneakers—I guess it's easy to see how people could confuse her for a boy. Anyway, they looked like they were kinda arguing so I held back for a while. After all, they might just be a random couple and not part of the club.

"Silver, please, you know the deal. I have to go now," said the cat in a clearly feminine voice. Okay, guess that cleared the confusion.

"Oh come on, Blaze! Just this once? Pleaaase? What if there are actually people who-" said the hedgehog, who stopped once he noticed I was standing next to them, quietly observing their conversation. Then, outta nowhere, he straight up grabbed both of my shoulders and looked at me with this sorta desperate look in his eyes. "H-hey! You're here for the tech club, right? Right?"

"Silver, take it easy! What if he's not here for-"

"N-no no, it's okay. I'm here for the tech club," I said, cutting her off nervously. Just then, I could see the desperation in Silver's face turning immediately into gratitude.

"Oh, thank goodness! Someone actually came! You see, Blaze? I told you it wasn't all in vain!"

"Yeah, but it's still just one. Look, I'm sorry Silver, I really am, but you know how it is: I can't skip practice twice in a row or they'll sack me off the team."

"Awwh, but Blaze..." At this point, he was on his knees begging. It's... I dunno what to say about it, to be honest. Kinda felt like I just walked into a soap opera.

"NO, SILVER!" She finally snapped, and then an almost angry "Ssh!" was heard throughout the rest of the library. Her face started to turn red after that. "Oh look what you've made me done! Goodbye, Silver," she said, marching away angrily.

"B-b-but we..." He said while reaching his hand out to her, but she was already too far. He then hung his head in defeat, letting out what is probably the saddest "Aww..." I've ever heard. It's... kinda funny, I gotta admit, but pretty sad at the same time.

"Umm... if you don't mind me asking... what's all that about?" Silver then let out a sigh before explaining things to me.

"Well, where do I even begin? That there was Blaze, she was supposed to be our "vice president." ...okay, I say it like that because she actually didn't want to be, but no one else would! In fact, this is supposed to our second week, our second meeting! And we still don't have enough members to meet the minimum requirement! I'm afraid the school won't allow this club to exist if that's the case!"
