❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

Chapter 14 | 'The Past'

Sonic: What?!

%$&#: Sorry If I just told you this now, I was spying and investigating the other cards around the city and I just found out about it when I was done checking the last card. That's why I didn't contact you for a while.

Luckily for me, I left my card on my desk back at the Manor. I stood there and was nervous that I have been found out but luckily I wasn't. I cleared my throat before I started to walk out of the alleyway.

Sonic: It's okay %$&#, at least you told me what you found out. Good job on your work, you can continue on your day.
%$&#: Yes sir, thank you.

I ended the call and quickly went back to the boutique. Luckily Miss Red still didn't arrive yet and the workers seem to be busy talking with my butler, and I quickly went back to my seat before they saw me. My butler saw me walked in and he quickly bid the workers goodbye before he went back to my side, standing near me.

I was shocked to hear the news... no, I was right at the start. I knew that it was very weird for a small party to have such a high-security attendance and place, not only that.. those cards were also weird. They were disguised as those luxury bank cards that look like the same bank card I have, which were weird as to why they decided to copy it.

But the really weird thing is, why is my card the only one with the tracking device installed on it? That's why I felt so skeptical when my Mom gave me the card in person and not with someone from the manor or her butlers. Because she knew that she couldn't trust them to give me such an important card.

I felt my head hurt, somehow it was worse than my last headaches. But I couldn't show the workers my state so I kept it as I was wincing in pain quietly. The doors of the boutique suddenly opened and there I saw Miss Red, walking up to me with a big smile. I stood up and was about to shake her hand, but she bowed in front of me.

"Sir 'Mexuis', glad to be at your service." She said before she stood up straight again. I put my hand down quickly and smiled, "Yes, thank you." She nodded and snapped her fingers, "Everyone, please get Sir 'Mexuis's suit ready. And close the shop, for now, we want this fitting to go well." She said before the workers quickly scurried on, closing the windows and running to the back of the boutique.

I cringed, my mom must have told her to do this. If she didn't, then the Miss Red I know wouldn't do this absurd thing at all. I sighed and followed the worker to the fitting room, my butler waiting for me outside.

Amy's POV:

"Hey, did you know that Sonic left early? I heard it was for an important event but I'm not sure." I heard someone whispered to another. We were outside the school for our science project, which is about studying the anatomy of the butterflies and the other insects found inside the greenhouse.

Cream nudged my arm, "Hey, did you just heard what they said?" She asked. I stopped writing and shook my head, "No... I didn't." Cream sighed and put her notebook down. "Someone said from Sonic's history class that he left early, and he seems to be rushing to leave. They also said that maybe it was for an important business meeting or an event. Dunno." Cream muttered.

I went quiet for a bit and giggled, "Since when were you interested in such rumors, and about Sonic too?" She pouted, "I'm not interested, I just overheard it from our classmates while I was drawing the anatomy over there." She said, pointing to a bunch of our classmates who were whispering to each other while writing on their notebooks.

I sighed, "Anyways, I don't care about Sonic. So let's just continue working so we can leave early and sneak out for a bit to get food at the cafeteria." Cream's eyes lightened up when I mentioned food, "Really? Then I'll draw faster!" She said excitedly before she went to where the beetles are placed. I giggled and continued drawing a centipede on my notebook.

But as I went on drawing, I couldn't help but wonder what was Sonic up to? Was he forced to do something by his mother again? Or is he, as they said, is gonna attend a business meeting? So many theories for one person. But now, I already seem to understand why people were so interested in Sonic's life.

It was because not only his family is so influential in both the business world and the media world, but they also have a lot of secrets hiding inside their manor. Sonic knows and so does his parents, but his parents seem to hide something more than what Sonic knows. Just like my family, but the opposite. My parents always ignored me when I asked them about our family history, even my grandparents back in England. It seems like they were afraid to answer it or even hear it.

I sighed, well... what do I do then? It's not like I can talk to them to tell me the secrets they've been hiding, knowing my parents.. they were probably worried about me. I stood up and patted my skirt to erase the small dirt marks on it and looked up at the sky. It was very sunny today, but the cold breeze entering the greenhouse was very refreshing. It reminded me of when I was still living in England.. but I would rather leave all of the memories back there.

I don't want to remember the things they did to me... when they found out I was from the 'Rose' family. Until today, I still don't know why they did those things to me. But maybe it's about my family's secret that they've been hiding from me, I'm so sure of it. After all, my family isn't known to have a scandalous life or a sketchy background.. maybe it's linked to the past?

"Amy!"

"Amy!"

I looked down to see Cream with a big smile on her face, showing me her notebook that's now full of her drawings of the anatomy. "I'm done! Are you also done?" Cream asked, looking at my notebook. I shook my head, "I'm not yet done, but I'm already tired of drawing. Let's go, I'm just gonna have to copy yours." Cream giggled and said, "I'll only let you copy it when you'll buy me those star cookies."

I rolled my eyes at her and giggled, "Of course, now let's go." The both of us left the greenhouse and went to the cafeteria, excited to eat some snacks before our next class. Once we got there, of course, I kept my word and bought Cream those star cookies and for myself, I bought a cold matcha drink from the vending machine.

"So Amy, how's the school for you so far? Is it what you expected it to be?" Cream asked as we both walked through the hallway to our next class. "Well.. it is because I always imagined it to meet such great friends, and here you are along with Rouge and Blaze," I said as I put my hand around her shoulder.

"Well of course we know that, but how about your interaction with our batchmates? Especially Sonic?" When she mentioned Sonic, I imagine the smirk on her face as I drank my matcha. When I was done, I threw it into a nearby trash can. "Well, some of my interactions were interesting.. even Sonic. I didn't know that a Star student like him could get away with so many things. I'm surprised he's even a Star student and not a delinquent." I told her.

"Well, some students that were classmates of Sonic in middle school before said that he's always been the quiet type. He didn't like it when many of his classmates approach him just to hang out or to ask him to play with them." Cream said, finishing the last cookie. "Yeah, and just by yelling at me on the first day made me conclude that he doesn't like meeting new people his age," I said.

I and Cream were now outside of Cream's next class, we waved at each other goodbye and I told her to wait for me at her last class so we can go out the gates together. Since I still have some time before the next class starts, I wandered around the school for a bit. It was very quiet when there aren't that many students and teachers bustling around the hallways.

The quiet hallways reminded me of when my grandma was still sick so we used to go to her rest house every day, I would always ask my parents to let me stay with her but they told me that my grandpa would only be the one to stay with her. I bawled like a baby when they said no, but of course, they don't want to leave me there alone without anyone to protect me.

They're still so overprotective of me, even when I'm already a high schooler. I sighed and went to my next class, carrying my notebook and pencil.

*Ring!* *Ring!*
