❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

Chapter 16 | 'Interrogation' [ 2 ]

Amy's POV:

'Rosetta Manor' | 6:30 AM | Friday

"Amy!" I heard my Mom called me from downstairs. I was almost ready to go down but I'm still waiting for my phone to charge, "Coming!" I shouted. I checked the battery of my phone and saw that it was already 100%, so I immediately took the charger out and ran downstairs.

"C'mon, we're gonna be late!" My dad told me. The three of us bid our maids goodbye and went to the car and entered it immediately, my dad started the car and we immediately drove to my school first. "So did you sleep well last night?" My mom asked, fixing her makeup as she looked at the car's mirror. I shaked my head, "A bit... I was too worried about the party tonight that I couldn't sleep."

My parents chuckled. "Well honey, you gotta get used to it now. When me and Zoe were still teenagers, she would always invite me to every party she goes to. But now you're the one who's going." My mother giggled, closing her makeup bag. I sighed, "But going to parties is so tiring, plus there are also influential people coming to those parties that it would always make you so worried that maybe you'll make a mistake."

My dad chuckled, "Oh you'll get used to it, but if you did do a mistake, just don't mind what people say. We often make mistakes and that's alright." My mom giggled, "Yeah, so don't be so worked up about it. Just have a fun day at school and party to your heart's content at night." I nodded, "Okay."

Minutes later, I already arrived in school. I kissed my parents on the cheek and waved them goodbye before I went out of the car. When I was about to enter the gates, I then heard girls cheering and screaming at... me? I turned around to see a black limo pulled up and out comes Sonic, with a frown on his face. I snickered and continued to walk as he was being surrounded by girls, who were trying to get his attention.

Just as I was about to open the door, I felt someone pull me by the strap of my bag. "What the-- Hey!" I yelled at the person. I looked at my side to see Sonic with a smirk, "Good morning to you too, Miss Rosetta." I scoffed at him, "Since when do you start to greet me at the morning?" He rolled his eyes and pulled me with him inside the school until we finally reached his locker, "Just wanna say good morning to my book carrier, I feel sorry for you a bit."

I rolled my eyes and opened his locker and took out his usual books, "Uh huh." He kept on staring at me while I took out his books, he's making me feel so uncomfortable that even I was staring back and forth at him and his books. "So... let's go?" I said, carrying his books. He nodded and pulled my bag's straps and I immediately stopped him by pulling back, he frowned.

"What now?" He asked. I tugged my bag strap back and glared at him, with a little bit of strength I pulled him to an empty hallway and slammed him against the wall. "Sir Mexuis, you are being so weird this morning." I said with a glare. He widened his eyes before he chuckled, "Me? I don't know what you're talking about and I'm not being weird this morning." I rolled my eyes at him, "Really?"

"Yes really." He answered. I furrowed my eyebrows at him and stared at him, he doesn't seem to be the type to go to people he hates without any motive. Perhaps he wants something from me? "Okay what do you want?" I asked him. He look at me in surprise before he sighed and then gave me a grin, "Well well, I guess that even a girl like you could see my motives then."

I glared at him, "Really? Is that an insult or a compliment?" I asked him. He chuckled, "Maybe both." The two of us went silent for a moment, until we heard the first bell. Signalling for all the students to go to their classes now, well the students who aren't here yet are still not late. It's just a warning bell. "Speak up, Sonic 'Mexuis'." I ordered, tapping my shoe.

He chuckled and crossed his arms before he gave me one of his signature death glares, "I want only one thing from you.. do you saw a black card inside your house? If so, could you tell me who is carrying it around last night?" He asked. I flinched, is he talking about the black card that my mom gave me last night? Well, what could he possibly want from it?

"Why?" I asked. I saw him raised his brow, "Well... I was just curious." I sighed and shaked my head, "No I haven't seen any black card."

It's good to lie to him for now, anyways he doesn't look like someone you could trust... that much. Although it's bad to lie, my mom told me to keep the card safe. Sonic looked at me, maybe deciding if I was lying or not. A few seconds later, he chuckled and started to walk back to the main hall. "Okay, I believe you." He muttered, before he walked away. I sighed and followed him, we do have the same class after all.

When we were getting near our classroom, I quickly ran in and sat beside Cream, panting for air. "Why were you still outside?" Cream whispered. Sonic also went in and immediately our classmates went quiet, and also there were a bunch of whispers. I rolled my eyes at them and went over to Sonic's desk first to drop his books before I went back to my seat, "Something came up." I told her.

"Like what?" Cream asked. I smiled, "Umm.. my teacher in History class came up to me to tell me more about the project since I asked him yesterday." Cream nodded, "Oh okay, you better do it or else you'll get another C." She giggled. I sighed, it makes me so bad when I lie to Cream. But what can I do? Can I even tell her that I pulled Sonic to an empty hallway and interrogated him? And he even asked about the black card that I have?

Luckily our teacher arrived and started the class early, which was what I was hoping for.

Sonic's POV:

Break Time | 9:00 AM | Garden

"So she doesn't have the black card? That's weird." %$&# muttered. I nodded and sighed, we were hiding in the garden. Since no one really comes here during our break, it was easy to hide here without any suspicion. "But I do think that you're mom gave another card to someone else, I overheard it from one of her conversation between her friend. The one that's inviting everyone." %$&# said, as --- crossed his arms.

"Well, that's why I called you here. I want you to spy on her for a bit, just to be sure." I said. --- looked at me, surprised. "Really? What do you want from that girl?" %$&# asked, with --- brow raised. "Well, I just want to be sure that the surprise my parents will have for me later won't be the one I'm expecting it to be." I said with frown. He looked at me and seems to be confused, "Oh.. okay."

He bowed before he started to walk away but he suddenly turned around and gave me a stern look, "Before I go, please be careful at the party. I'm sensing that one of the people behind your Aunt's death is gonna be there. Carefully watching you." I looked at him in shock before I chuckled, "Oh, I will."

He nodded and jumped through the wall quietly. I walked away and started to drink my strawberry juice, walking back to my classroom.

A few hours later...

'Mexuis' Manor | 5:30 PM

"Are you done?" My mother asked, opening the door of my room. I turned around and nodded, "Well, yes..." She looked at me blankly before she sighed and walked up to me, "And here I thought your old enough to know how to fix your suit." She giggled as she fixed my suit. I looked at her, I inherited her fierce emerald eyes and my looks from my father.

But even so, I never did once thought of them as my guardians, let alone as my parents. But... they are still my parents. I just... like my Aunt more. It's not that they haven't done anything for my own good, they gave me everything they thought I wanted. But all I wanted was for them to take care of me and not some maids.. and my Aunt Cristina was the only person who understood that.

That's why I love my Aunt more than my parents, she took care of me and treated me as if I was her own child. She didn't have a husband and couldn't bear a child, so maybe that's why. "And there, that's how you should do it. Got it?" My mom chirped, as she made me turn around to look in the mirror. I nodded, "Okay."

She looked at me and I saw her raise her hand and moved it near my face, but she flinched and walked away. "Now get to your limo, I will go with your dad and somebody else. So get going." She said, as she went out of my room. I sighed and stared at my watch for a bit, hoping to see a message from %$&#.

Still no word from ----- though...

I quickly went downstairs and went to my limo, driving from the manor away. "I wonder what's the surprise." I muttered, looking at the city lights.
