❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

Chapter 35 | 'Romance Novel'

Amy's POV:

It was a rainy Monday morning, all of the students were either reading books in the library or buying hot drinks at the cafeteria. I and my friends sat under the shade as we watched the rain pour down at the plants surrounding us, we came here to drink and chat for a while before going back to our next class. Although it may seem like a sad morning, it wasn't really. We just received our scores for the exam, and I was so surprised that I managed to snag 11th place for this semester. 

"Say, how come you and Sonic never interacted much in school? Are you guys keeping it a secret?" Blaze asked, looking up from her book. I stopped drinking my hot cocoa and wondered for a bit, it was indeed true that I and Sonic didn't interact much ever since we became engaged. The only times were at the study session and when Sonic got punched in the face by Scourge. "Not really, I think we never intended to. Maybe we just didn't think it was necessary to always hang out." I answered bluntly. Blaze responded with an "ah" and proceeded to read her book. "Well, I did expect him to always approach you and be all protective. Just like those dramas you can see on TV and novels, they always have those guys lingering around the female lead. It's weird to witness the opposite." Cream smiled, rubbing her hands together to heat herself up. 

"Are you cold?" I was worried since maybe her sweater wasn't enough to warm her up in this cold weather. "No, I'm fine. Now answer me." Cream giggled. I sighed, "You already know that he isn't the type of person to act like that, if he did, I would think that he was possessed or something." Saying this made my friends giggle before the three of them agreed. "Anyways, real life isn't like in the novels or dramas. And if someone is really living life as the female lead, then she would have to be this gorgeous and outstanding girl that no one has ever seen before." I exclaimed. 

"Well if you want to, I can make that come true." A voice from behind said. 

We all turned around to see a male blonde hedgehog, he was as tall as Sonic and he gives off the vibe of the boy next door type. "Huh?" I muttered, confused. Since when did he approach us? I didn't hear his footsteps earlier, nor did my friends. "If I may ask, who are you anyway?" Rouge asked, gesturing for him to introduce himself. "Oh me? I'm Luke Frankland, son of  John Frankland II." The guy said as he flashed a smile, not to all of us but just to me. I rolled my eyes, "Oh okay, Luke Frankland." My tone was clear that I wasn't interested at all. "Do you need anything? We didn't hear you coming towards us, so we were a bit surprised... somehow." I said, but also implying that he should just go away. 

A look of happiness was seen in his eyes as he cleared his throat first before saying, "For the past months, I was captivated by Miss "Rose's" beauty and character. And I've decided to come to ask you today to have dinner with me tonight, alone." The way he said it was enough for me to puke a thousand times before puking again. I held my composure and was still able to speak, the thought of me wanting to escape from this embarrassing scene is making me annoyed the more I see his face. "I would have to decline your request, my parents won't allow me to go out with a stranger. And I also have things to do, so--" But before I could continue, he then acted as if he wasn't shot down by me and interrupted me hastily.

"Ever since you came here, I always want to talk to you in every way I can. But I didn't have the chance since you were always surrounded by people, especially him..." He muttered, eventually stopping to the point when he mentioned the last part.

Him? Who?

The only boys she has gotten close to was Scourge and Sonic, and the rest was either a teacher or a guard. I was confused, to the point where I finally had enough of his flirtatiousness. "Okay, so now that's out of the way, let me finish this," I muttered, facing my hot cocoa again. But to my surprise, he continued speaking about the dinner plans. I stood up and faced him, "Surely, I have already told you that I'm not interested. And would never be. So please, to save yourself from embarrassment, please go." He looked shocked because now, I already made it clear that I wasn't at all interested. "Is this because you're already engaged with Sir 'Mexuis'? If you wouldn't be engaged with him, would you accept my request?" Luke asked.
