Sonic POV  

My trip to the school was about a 14-minute walk because I didn't feel like running. Even though it might have been a 1-minute trip. Plus, I didn't want to wrinkle or crease absolutely anything. As I came closer to the front gates, more and more kids began showing up around me. All in perfectly pressed uniforms. Some with black uniform sweaters and others with navy blue. I think we were given the option between the two for this season but I felt like the navy blue fit my look better. I sighed in relief as I examined other students of all sorts. The head house servant had indeed purchased the correct seasonal uniform. I mentally thanked her. I continued to walk and soon entered the large black gate doors. I had seen the pictures of the school from my grandma but it was even more breathtaking in person. I stopped in my place to further admire the beautiful 4 story Victorian building bathed in white marble, navy blue, black and white. I was so mind boggled that only a few days ago I attended an average public high school and not even a good one. I was roughly given a shoulder shove as more teens entered the gates, bringing me back to reality. I looked at them as a group of boys turned around ahead of me and laughed. With a small blush of embarrassment on my face, I clutched onto my backpack and began to speed walk in search for the front office.  I was in awe as I entered the large black varnished wooden double doors that were being held open by 2 tall emperor penguins dressed in the school’s colors.  It was clearly very different than Modius High, where all students shoved against each other to get inside.  But here the entrance was large enough to allow 10 students to enter all at the same time with at least a minimum arm's length between all of them.  No one was in a rush to get inside nor were they pushing or shoving. I looked around as all students were softly talking amongst themselves while heading to class. I was confused as I saw servants...? Trailing behind a few selected students carrying which I would assume is their belongings. I stood there in the grand entrance lost in my thoughts as I thought about it. I remember filling out a literal book of paperwork when I was going to transfer here and I remember a section where you could have a random or selected servant of choice to carry, bring, or put your belongings away.  I thought this would be great as they also act like a tour guide. But when I looked at the prices, my eyes almost popped out of my head. My grandma said she could pay for someone but I felt guilty asking for more. I felt like she was already giving me more than enough. I was drawn out of my thoughts as the 5-minute warning bell rang throughout the large structure. ‘Even the sound of the bell sounds expensive’ I thought as I walked up the white marble staircase, heading towards the 4th floor. I had purposely memorized all my classes to avoid awkward encounters or late arrivals. I nervously walked closer and closer to my first class and stopped one classroom before mine to straighten out my clothes. I slipped my phone out, pausing my music and slipping my air pods out. I exhaled, opened the black colored classroom door and walked in. I was greeted by a kind looking bunny that stood behind her desk. I walked over to her desk to introduce myself. She turned away from the wall mounted touch screen board, allowing me to get a better look at her. She was a tall and thin bunny. Her fur was a light beige with white areas, her ears were pinned back with a white flowered hair pin and was wearing a skirt suit with the school colors. “Hi, you must be Sonic. I’m Ms. Lilia but you can call whatever you feel comfortable with.” She said with a large kind smile on her face. I felt myself relax as at least my 1st period AP Psychology teacher wasn’t an asshole like my other one. I gave her a relaxed smile and said “Yeah, it’s a pleasure to meet you Ms. Lilia.”. She walked around her glass desk, standing closer to me. “Ok Sonic, I will have you introduce yourself to the class in about 5 minutes after the tardy bell rings. You can share something about you or you could simply state your name, age and take a seat. “I nodded in acknowledgment. “You can find an empty seat towards the back. But you must know that if your choice of seat affects you or anyone around you, I will be forced to relocate you. Do you understand?” I nodded once again and started walking towards the end of the classroom. I got a few stares along the way but I was just so relaxed with my encounter with Ms. Lilia that it didn’t make me nervous like I thought it would. I found a seat on an empty table behind an albino hedgehog. I was surprised once again at the quality of the whole classroom. Even the tables and chairs. But then again this was a private school. ‘What did I expect?’ I thought. I was startled as I looked up, into gold eyes that belonged to the albino hedgehog. “Sorry, I didn’t want to interrupt your thoughts. I just wanted to introduce myself.” His voice was soft and he almost looked and sounded feminine. “Oh, yeah sorry. No, it’s fine. Nice to you meet you. I’m Sonic.” I stood up to shake his hand, as it is polite and more expected here. I saw Ms. Lilia looking at us and grin from her desk at the front. “I’m Silver the hedgehog.” He said as he also stood up and fully turned to face me. We shook hands and grinned at one another as we could both feel one another's strong handshake. “Nice handshake” he said as he turned to sit back down next to his servant; Who was a red echidna. "Likewise,” I said as I also returned to my seat. I pulled out my supplies as I heard the classroom door being opened. I looked up at a green lizard servant holding onto several bags and holding the door open. The classroom became silent in an instant and everyone watched the door. That’s when a very rich looking midnight black and red striped hedgehog strode in while looking down at his phone. The tardy bell rang right after his entry saving him from a tardy mark. The lizard closed the door behind them and bowed at Ms. Lilia. Ms. Lilia bowed back and looked towards the student who momentarily looked up from his phone to also slightly bow. She had an unimpressed face but had a smile nonetheless. She stood up and stood right in front of the hedgehog. “I hope this almost tardy behavior doesn’t become a regular thing Mr. Ebony.” My eyes instantly locked to the hedgehog's figure. I knew this guy but from where? “I promise it won’t occur again." I was shocked as it sounded like the same strong velvety voice from my dreams. ‘Could it be? No, I couldn’t possibly.’ I thought. Ms. Lilia nodded and motioned for him to sit down. He turned with his eyes glued to his phone screen and began walking in my direction. My eyes widened and I slightly panicked. He stood right next to the desk I was currently in and without looking at me said “You’re in my seat” The whole class as in on cue looked towards me. This is not how I wanted my day to start. “I-I will move. Sorry.” I quickly stood up. “No, you sit back down.” We all turned to the front at the sound of Ms. Lilia’s voice. She faced the class and said “Please find another seat Mr. Ebony. You know the rules. First come first serve. You unfortunately can’t buy everything.” The class broke out into quiet murmurs. Without looking up, he huffed in annoyance and murmured under his breath; “How much you want to bet.” before sitting behind me. All while the poor lizard stood or trailed behind him. I slowly sat back down and looked down at my desk, feeling eyes still on me. I felt my heart beating fast. Not only at the scene but also at the fact that I felt like I knew him. My thoughts were interrupted as Ms. Lilia began the class. “Good morning to all of you. I hope you are all doing well this fine Monday morning.” She was greeted with a few murmurs of ‘good morning’. “We will do a quick rundown of this week's agenda. First like I said last week, we have a new student with us today. Second, chapter 15 and 16 are due today. We will review them after a quick introduction. Third, we will begin to read and go over both chapters 17 and 18 together in class.” Everyone began to take their assignments out or have them being taken out by personal servants. “You can come up now.” I looked up at Ms. Lilia and met her gaze. I gulped and nodded nervously. I stood up quietly and began making my way towards the front. Again, the feeling of eyes on me returned. I looked at Ms. Lilia, who had a big smile on her face. I smiled back and I could feel myself start to relax one more time. ‘Man, this lady chose well in being a psychology teacher.’ I turned to face the class as she gave me reassuring smile before sitting down in her seat. I looked over the sea of students and smiled at Silver who gave me a double thump’s up. I exhaled softly and began. “Hi, it’s very nice to meet you all and I’m happy to be a part of your classroom. My full name is Maurice Wentworth Hedgehog but you can call me Sonic.” With that I noticed the black hedgehog quickly look up from his phone. His deep ruby eyes locked with my bright emerald ones. I could hear both of us softly gasp in surprise and the whole classroom was filled with murmurs.
