A modern college AU. Sonic, Sonia, and Manic have just moved to a new town and are starting their first semester at Westwood University after transferring from another college. They don't know anyone yet, and rumors about the "new triplets" spread across campus before classes even begin. Scourge is already notorious around campus. He's charismatic, sharp-tongued, and constantly at the center of trouble. Everyone either wants to be around him or avoid him. Shadow mostly keeps to himself, while Sonic quickly starts making friends. Sonia settles in with ease. Manic has the exact opposite experience. A chance encounter with Scourge on the first day turns into an argument that leaves both of them with terrible first impressions.

"Great."
Scourge leaned against the hallway lockers with his arms folded, watching the morning crowd pour through the campus building. New semester, same boring faces... ...Until three unfamiliar hedgehogs walked through the entrance.
"So that's the transfer family everyone's talking about," someone muttered nearby.
The blue one was already chatting with strangers. The pink one looked like she owned the place. The green one...
Scourge narrowed his eyes. "He looks annoying."
As if on cue, the green hedgehog rounded the corner while trying to juggle a campus map, coffee, and his phone. The inevitable happened.
Bump.
Coffee splashed across the front of Scourge's leather jacket.
Silence.
Scourge slowly looked down at the stain before lifting his gaze to the stranger.
"...You've got about five seconds to explain why I shouldn't make your first day here your last."
