ShadAmy How Can I Love You?

Meet the Gang Chapter 1

Amy's POV

Finally the lunch bell rings. Seriously I swear the clock moves slower when you're in school or something. I quickly gathered my belongings and slung my back pack off to one side and scattered out the classroom, merging perfectly with the flow of the other students heading towards the the lunch room. I needed to get to our table before someone takes my spot next to Sonic. If I want Sonic to pay more attention to me as a woman instead of a friend, I need to use my time carefully and effectively. I pushed pass some idling students talking about what they were going to do on the weekend until finally I was standing inside the cafeteria. Involuntarily, my eyes scanned the sea of students for a specific blue hedgehog. My eyes honed in on the familiar blue figure sitting at our usual lunch table. I patted my skirt down, fixed my quills and took a deep breath. Calm down Amy, no one else is at the table. This is good! Use this time to get closer to Sonic.

I elegantly walked over to our table hoping Sonic would turn around and notice me before I sat down. Sadly, he didn't. I sat down a bit disappointed but I didn't change my expression.

"Hey Sonic!" S-shoot, I didn't mean that to come out as a high pitch squeal.

Sonic's ears perked and turn his attention to his right side. He softly smiled and locked eyes with me for only just a moment before pulling away and focusing his gaze back onto his chillidog. "Sup Ames"

I felt a cheek muscle twitch from the low graded greet he did for me. I shook my head and straighten my posture.

"Sonic I was actually wondering this weekend, would you like to accompany me to the mal--"

"Sup BRO, oh hey Amy." Knuckles came bursting out of nowhere with almost the whole gang trailing behind him. He took the other seat next to Sonic and swung an arm around Sonic's shoulders, pulling him in for a noogie.

Knuckles rubbed, well, his knuckles and painfully grinned at Sonic who was trying to fix his quills. "Ow! I forgot you're a hedgehog, quills hurt man!"

"No duh dude."

Tails sat across from me and gently smiled at everyone else at the table. "You think Knuckles would learn by know that one, you're a hedgehog and two, your quills hurt from all the other times he tried to give you a noogie."

"He doesn't learn anything. No offence buddy." Sonic added on.

I felt myself grow agitated as our table filled with the rest of the crew, ruining my alone time with Sonic. It's hard to be alone with someone these days, or so it seemed for me anyways. I guess this is what I get for having such a big friend group that are all incredibly close with one another. My eyes lingered on each individual sitting at our table. For some reason, I started giving each of them a small description on who they are.

Of course you already know Sonic, my all time crush and best friend since I was just a small kid. He's arrogant, has a hero's heart, free spirited, super laid back and is addicted to being the fastest on the planet. So focus on his appearance, he's probably failing at all his classes except for P.E.

Tails, the boy genius that is actually a grade ahead of everyone, despite being the youngest. He's kind, awkward and oblivious to the things around him, but he's a good listener. Too bad I can't say the same when he gives life advice to us though.

Knuckles, AKA, knucklehead. Super buff, all the girls love him. Too bad he lacks in the brain department.

Silver, a white hedgehog that excels in academics and somewhat in phys Ed. He is incredibly awkward at first, but once you warm up to him, he is really generous and silly.

Sitting next to him is Blaze. A most of the time expressionless purple cat that excels in both departments. She picks up other emotions quickly but has a hard time expressing her own. She's the perfect student that every parent desires and is pretty selfless, well if you get on her good side that is. Oh, she's also dating Silver, ain't that adorable?

And then there's me, Amy Rose. Also selfless, kind, lady like, bossy at some times, energetic pink hedgehog that neither excels in academics or phys ed. Don't get me wrong, I still pass, but I'm just not as intellectual or fast as the others.

There's also two other members in our group, but seems like they aren't here today. I'm sort of happy for that actually, less people to get in the way of me and my Sonic. Though, it seems like I won't be able to get that alone time I yearn for today. I audibly sighed and perched my arm up so I could rest my Sonic thought filled head. I guess there's always next time...
