Just a Dream

Chapter 1: Hatred

HIGH IN THE SKIES WHITHER THE CLOUDS COHERE,

BREAKETH THE CURSE OF A SPELL SO FEARED,

THITHER YOU'LL FINDETH A STAFF SO BRIGHT,

TO DEFEAT EVIL AND REVERSE THY TIME

HELP US.

THOU ART OUR ONLY HOPE.

It was the first few days of school. Now that summer break had come to an end it was time for learning once again. It was a sunny day, but some white clouds still lingering in the sky. The wind was blowing slightly and the sun wasn't too hot. It was perfect to be outside without any complain. Most of the students were already at school either talking to friends around the benches out in the grass near the entrance, relaxing on the bleachers of the football field, or just eating breakfast in the cafeteria. Inside the school's hallways was a lot calmer. Mostly all the students were outside than walking around the insides of Station Square High School. Only some were.

A pair of jade eyes peeked around the corner of an empty hallowed hallway. She blew her bangs, color pink, to the slide away from her eyes as she spotted a white bat placing some books inside a locker. She smirked finding her target.

Amy Rose was her name.

The bat down the hall, Amy's targeted, was her best friend Rouge. She was curvy and tall unlike Amy who was just a bit shorter than her and slender. She closed her locker and turned her back facing Amy. An opportunity opened. She tip-toed slowly on the tile floor hoping her boots wouldn't squeak against it. She kept her body up against the wall and her movements at a slow pace. She bit her lip to prevent herself from giggling or chuckling. Amy was inches away from her and lifted her hands up ready to tap her shoulders.

"Good Morning Amy!"

Amy's smile faded and she nervously chuckled. "Aw Rouge,"

Rouge twirled around laughing. Rouge had stayed Amy's good friend since middle school and they've been inseparable since then. Rouge's family often traveled on business trips in the summers and hardly ever spent them together with Amy. During school were their only times, but times well spend. Rouge tucked her curly hair behind her ear and brought Amy in for a hug. "Nice to see you're lively as ever."

Amy shrugged and returned the hug. The strong smell of women fresh perfume made her dizzy so she retracted from the hug first. "How was your trip?" She asked while she slid her backpack over to the front. Rouge helped Amy save time by opening the locker with a code. Amy unzipped her backpack and pulled out some books and sticking them into the locker. "It was wonderful. France was a very romantic place."

Amy rolled her eyes and composed her back to be straight. "Boy, France. Look at you." Amy said plainly placing in a math book.

"Yep, although I couldn't go to many tourist attractions because of Father, but we had a lovely view of the Eiffel tower from the hotel's window" replied Rouge.

"Well, I'm glad you had fun and made it back safely." added Amy as she closed the locker shut with a sigh. Amy turned to her best friend tiredly.

"Made it back a senior," Rouge said thrilled.

"You're right." Amy said wide eyed. "Can't you believe it? Senior year already."

"Then college life!" Rouge reminded her. Amy giggled. "We'll be out of here soon,"

The thought of becoming a new grader in a significant amount of time gave her chills. A part of her didn't want to move on forward towards the real world knowing there were still so many other things she was yet to discover here within school grounds. Another side of her was about done with living inside the bars and exploring the world to what challenges life had to offer.
