Admittedly, this was a spur of the moment story I thought of, but if enough people like it, then I may continue this!

Please tell me what you think and enjoy!

The dark, sleek car pulled neatly into the parking lot among a crowd of other vehicles, the sunlight causing it to gleam. The September air was beginning to grow colder despite the strong light beaming down from above. It was quiet inside the vehicle, three pairs of strange and vivid green eyes stared at the school, they had been coming here so long, some could claim they had memorized every brick.

After a moment of pure nostalgia, Sonic, Sonia, and Manic stepped out of the car, the doors closing behind them.

Sonic let out a low whistle, the blue hedgehog putting his hands behind his head, "Ah, Green Hill High School. I could've sworn this place got even bigger over the summer."

His sister scoffed, crossing her arms, taking little notice of the other students who were beginning to disappear into the building, "For all we know, it may have since they added some new classes. Speaking of which, I should take something different this year, make it more interesting!"

Her cerulean brother gave her a smirk that he was practically famous for, "That's the spirit, sis! You've been in band for too long, you need to shake things up."

"You're one to talk, you haven't been off the track team since they introduced one to this school!" Sonic just laughed at her indignant response, he honestly had no comeback for that.

Manic stood silent, stuffing his hands into his black jeans, self-consciousness written plainly on his face, eyes glistening with guilt that gnawed at the back of his head. He couldn't look at this place without regret washing over him, angry voices and scared yellow eyes flashing in his mind. He said nothing, but the uneasiness radiating off him wasn't gone unnoticed by his siblings. Sonic frowned sympathetically at his brother and Sonia placed a gloved hand on his shoulder.

"...let's not just stand here, let's go!"

Sonic cheerily exclaimed as to force the uncomfortable atmosphere away, his shoes clapping against the pavement as he hurried off toward the school. Rolling her eyes, Sonia huffed and took Manic's hand, chasing after their hyperactive brother.

Noise clouded the hallways as the trio entered, watching some students dash to find their friends while others had already found their group, the chatter only adding to the sound. The new kids stood around awkwardly, expressions startled and mouths agape or firmly shut in nervousness. Among the crowds, Sonic did pick out a few familiar faces, Espio and Vector offered him friendly waves before they disappeared down another hallway and Rouge was standing among a group of girls, talking about who knows what. The nostalgic emotions began to rise agan.

"Wonder who all isn't here anymore..." the blue hedgehog heard Manic mumble behind him, and that sparked his memory. He knew Mighty and Ray would no longer be seen around the halls, they had graduated last school year and headed off for college. He wasn't going to lie, that dampened his ecstatic mood, those two had been great friends.

"Sonic, hey!"

His ears twitched as a feminine voice once again prodded at his memory, a grin lighting up his features. Two girls were running up toward him, Amy and Sally. He had known the two since sixth grade, the two had become his unexpectedly close friends, he had been disappointed when he failed to hear from them when school was out. Amy instantly wrapped her arms around him and squealed excitedly, while Sally just laughed at her friend's energetic actions.

Sonic wasn't bothered and returned the hug, his own chuckling when Amy released him, "Good to see you too!"

"It feels like it's been forever, I hope you three had a good summer." Sally stated, giving Sonic her own swift hug before glancing over all three hedgehog siblings.

"Of course we did!" Sonia began, placing one hand on her hip and moving the other as she spoke, "We visited Emerald Coast, the place was simply lovely. The weather was pleasantly warm and don't even get me started on how many shops they had down there! I loved it~"

Despite her dreamy expression as she imagined being back at the beach, Sonic couldn't help but shudder, "Not me, too much water..."

While they laughed at the typical response, Manic let his eyes slide around to see what the other students were up to. Most continued to chatter away and move around restlessly, but he felt the stares burning into him, as if they were God and striking judgment down upon him. Glares blaming him for what he had done, ready to kick him out the door he had walked in. They were sparse but very much present, the stone cold eyes of a cat were locked onto him like he were a target, a group of variously colored canines sneered in his direction, even a teacher let his gaze linger on him, daring him to make a wrong move before disappearing into a room.

He sighed; he wanted to go home already.
