Green Hill High || Sonic highschool AU

CHAP 2

Starring: Sonic
POV: 🦔💙

This mattress is so uncomfortable. I sit up and check my phone. I feel slightly nervous starting in the new school. Tonight, my mom will bring some of my belongings to my school. We've decided to sign me up for a dorm. My mom's right, the school is far and I can't just casually speed across a new city. I don't know if others are used to this kind of thing.

I get up and start getting ready. Sadly, the school had a uniform policy. I put on a simple white blouse and button it up, leaving some unbuttoned. I throw on the school blazer, not bothering to button it up aswell. I throw on the school pants and a pair of socks. I head downstairs to greet my mother. She was standing in the kitchen, unpacking some appliances.

"Nervous?"

"Slightly!" I stand there impatiently. I had to get up an hour or so early since the school was a 30-40 minutes drive. My mom hands me a paper bag, probably with pizza leftovers. I wasn't feeling too hungry today but I took it without a word and shoved it into my bag.

"Where's your tie?" I scrunch my nose.

"Mommm..." I start whining. She crosses her arms and looks at me. "You know I don't like ties." I throw my bag strap on my shoulder and start putting on my shoes. She scuffs and takes her car keys.

"I'll be waiting in the car."

[...]

The car pulls up infront of the school. Students were already walking in as I stare from the window. I clench my phone. My mom puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles. I get out of the car and look behind me. My mom rolls down the window.

"I'll come by later to drop off your things." I nod with a weak smile. "Don't stress it Sonic." I wave goodbye to my mother and walk into the school.

Absolutely clueless of where to go, I start walking around. The hallways were filled with students. It was pretty loud in here but the school seemed to have a good energy. Some students were talking, others had their eyes stuck to their phones.

"Sonic T. Hedgehog." I look at the figure infront of me. There stood a lady, probably in her early 50s. I look around and smile.

"That's me-!" She nods and makes me a sign to follow her. She had faded coral hair with white streaks, probably from age. She was short and stubby, but she looked very sweet. We walk into an office. She sits down behind the desk and pulls out some papers. She reads them attentively.

"So, all the way from Christmas Island yes?" I nod and chuckle lightly. "I went there once with my husband, what a lovely place." She starts searching through the papers. On her desk stood a small sign. 'Mrs Mirage'. What a lovely last name. I start fidgeting with the strap of my bag before she cleared her throat. I look at her. "A student is supposed to show you around. Seems like he's running late unfortunately." As she says that, a small boy opens the door. He seemed out of breath. He was dressed cleanly, wearing his tie, but his blazer was also unbuttoned. He had yellow-ish hair with white streaks on the bottom. Oddly enough, he didn't look to be around my age. "Meet Miles Prower. One of our best students! He'll be helping you on your first day here. I hope it goes well." Miles smiles at me and signs me to follow him. "By the way.." I look back at the principal. "Since we were out of dorms and the policy divides the genders, we've come to a conclusion into putting you in a room with a girl. She shouldn't bring too much trouble. Welcome to Green Hill High, Sonic." She smiles at me softly as she slides a keycard to me. I'm guessing this was the access card to my dorm. A girl? Heh, wonder who she is.

"Thank you Mrs Mirage." I nod with a smile. I take the card and make my way out of the office to meet Miles.

"Sorry, I'll introduce myself in my own way." He puts out a hand for me to shake. "My name is Tails. Miles is more formal, I don't really like it." I shake his hand with a smile. Tails, what an interesting name.

"Well I'm S-"

"Sonic T. Hedgehog! Mrs Mirage has told me a bit about you and your background. Not much tho, only that you come from Christmas Island." I grin at him while we start walking. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

"Well then, how old are you? You seem pretty young." I stop in my words. "Not to seem offensive! I was just curious..." I chuckle nervously but he just smiles at me.

"I'm 14." His answer catches me off-guard. "I'm far too advanced intellectually to be in any low grade. Unfortunately, the highest they could put me was junior, so here I am." He smiles proudly. Wow, what a fella. He starts showing me around the school as well as the way to my locker.

[...]

Tails took a good hour to walk around the school, rambling about historical artifacts as well as his favourite features of every place. He informed me I would have to pass the next hour with the principal where she'll explain the basic rules of this school and everything else he missed to mention. We were making our way outside, where he started talking to me about the different sport clubs.

"So, obviously as any typical high school has, we have our football team. Bunch of lame jocks join there, but it's nothing against you if you want to join.." He smiles nervously. "We have a volleyball team, soccer, cheerleading, doubt you'll join that but again, no judgement, and we also have a track team! Bunch of other things too but I don't know them from the top of my head." The words track team peeked my interest.

"How do you join the track team?" I ask, trying not to make it seem obvious as to how much excitement it brought me. He smiles.

"Well, you have to past a small running test I'm pretty sure, but I think you'll have to go see the team leader about it. They usually have practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 5 PM. You can go see them then." Today was a Wednesday but I wanted to take my evening to unpack in my dorm. I sigh silently as we keep walking. "Hey, at lunch, I'll come meet you at Mrs Mirage's office." He smiles widely. "Well, if you want to spend lunch together..-"

"No problem buddy." I smile widely.

[...]

I think I understood the rules. Yeah, I think... I close the office door behind me and step forwards.

"Sonic!" It was Tails. I smile at him and make my way towards him. He starts whining about his classes as we make our way to the bleachers outside. Tails only liked engineering classes and science. Both sound interesting, but they're just not for me.

Tails stops walking and so do I. Infront of us stood many students. They all seemed to be circling something. I glance at my friend who seemed annoyed.

"What's happening?" I whisper to him as I observe the loud teenagers infront of me.

"It's the school's golden couple." He scuffs angrily, trying to find a way around the hoard of students.

"Who are they?" I could slightly see the so called 'golden couple'. They seemed pretty popular.

"Well the tall brunet is Azen, Az for short. The school's football team's prize boy. He's totally an a-hole and only cares about his reputation. He'll also quite literally obliterate anyone that dares come near his girlfriend. She's always under his arm." I glance at the boyfriend. He was pretty good looking, lucky girlfriend I guess. "And the girl is Amy. We sit next to each other in math, I still can't decide if I like her or if I don't. I mean, she's nice but her boyfriend is a pain in the bum."

"Amy?
As in, Amy Rose?" I ask.

"Yeah. What, is she popular worldwide?" He chuckles at his remark but I couldn't pay attention to anything other than her. That's when I see her. She looked so gorgeous. She had grown since the last time I've seen her. She was literally perfect.

I smile softly as Tails drags me outside. For the rest of the day, all I could think of was her.

***Little note that Azen isn't a character from Sonic the Hedgehog. He's just a small side character I made for some of Amy's backstory here. If you want to portray him in any way he's kind of like a chocolate badger (like Sticks :-) )
