"Wake up, Shadow!"
"Urrgh!" I wish Mum would stop waking me up like this. I've moved town, I think it stinks here. I miss my old school and my old boyfriend. His name was Chris he was the captain of the football team and all the girls were dying for him, but we kept our relationship in secret. But when I had to move we broke up. So after that we moved here, LA. I don't know why, my dad moved from his office in New York to here. The school I'm going to is Trinity High. It's a boy's school. You have to pay tons to get in, since we broke in that way, I did the entrance exam and for some strange reason I passed.
"SHADOW!"
"IM UP!" So I get out of bed and put my uniform on. It's a black polo shirt with the school coat of arms and black trousers. I look like a complete geek. I go downstairs to see my mum, dad and my annoying sister Maria.
"Good Morning, Sleepyhead!"
"Whatever, Maria."
"Are you looking forward to today?"
"No!"
"Shadow I hope you are very grateful that you are going to this school because loads are killing themselves to go there. You're very lucky you passed the test!"
"I know!"
"You're very lucky to live here, Shadow. It's got beautiful weather and beaches, make the most of it in your free time." My dad said cheerfully in the car.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will." There are not much cute boys around here, only cute girls.
I finally arrive at the school, it's massive and there are cute boys everywhere! I can't wait to get inside.
"Well see you later, Shadow."
"Bye Dad." And he drove away. I made my way to the reception. It was very modern and there was a woman sitting at a glass desk.
"Hello how may I help you?"
"I'm Shadow the new student."
"Oh! Hello Shadow, we are just printing out your timetable at the moment. Just wait a minute." After 20 seconds a piece of paper came out of the printer, she grabbed and handed it to me.
"Here you go!"
"Thank You."
"We are also sending you a buddy mentor so please sit down, he hasn't arrived yet."
"Ok." I sat down on this really nice plush cushion chair. I looked around the room. Then after 10 minutes the door opened and a small, yellow fox stepped in.
"Hello, Tails! This is Shadow."
"Hi Shadow."
"Hi."
"Come with me, the first lesson has already started."
"Ok." Then I left the room with Tails. Then we arrived to the classroom and walked through. All the boys were whispering.
"Silence!" the teacher boomed.
"Shadow, you can sit here." The teacher pointed at a desk at the back. Sitting next to it was a silver hedgehog that was looking down at a book. I walked over to the seat. I looked closer to what the hedgehog was reading. It was a manga comic. He suddenly looked up at me and closed the book.
"Sorry." I said.
"It's ok. Oh you're sitting next to me." He grabbed his bag off the seat to make space for me to sit down.
"So you're new?" he asked.
"Yeah my name's Shadow."
"Shadow, what a cool name. My name's Silver, nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too." I grinned.
"Do you have a buddy?"
"Yeah it's Tails?"
"Oh him. He's one of my pals. He's the smartest in the class, but sadly a victim of bullies. I'm like his bodyguard." He chuckled.
"I heard that!" Tails whispered to Silver.
"Sorry!"
"Is this school strict?"
"Hell, yes!"
"Oh."
"Don't worry. Just don't break the rules or be cheeky. You'll be fine!"
"Ok."
"Were you naughty at your old school or something?"
"No."
"Right."
I was very pleased to make a new, good-looking friend. When the bell rang me, Tails and Silver walked to our next class.
"What's your next lesson, Shadow?" Tails asked.
"Uhh. Music." Crap!
"Don't worry I have that class. You don't have to sing." Silver assured.
"You're singing!" I said.
"Yeah it's class singing, so no-one will hear you." We finally arrived in the music apartment. Crap Crap Crap. I was seriously starting to panic. We walked in the classroom and the teacher was standing there grinning at the students.
"Come in Come in. I hope you've practised the song." He sang.
"Yes!" the boys sang back.
"Sonic's at a meeting, sir!" A green eagle said.
"Thank you, Jet. Shall we begin?" The lesson started the boys were singing using a piano. It sounded all right but that was when I was not singing.
The bell rang again for break. My new friends and me headed towards the cafeteria and grabbed some crisps and sat on a table outside.
"So." Silver said opening his crisps. "How are you enjoying it so far?"
"It's alright." Shadow said.
"Where did you come from?"
"New York." Silver's eyes widened.
"Really that's so cool. There's a guy called Sonic who came from New York he's a proper classic hip-hop guy. Talks like them. He's crazy and hyper. You should meet him, you'll love him."
"He's very popular and he's a prefect." Tails said.
"This guy does sound cool." I said.
"And you know you have to have a neat uniform."
"Yeah"
"Sonic has his top button undone and a small tie. And he has serious attitude with the teachers when he's in a mood. He gets into heaps of trouble."
"Why is he a prefect then?'
"Because everyone loves him. Also the teachers. He may not be a great example, but he is seriously funny and friendly and everyone loves his personality. All the boys are dying for him. Everyone wants to be like him."
"Cool."
"Oh we have our assembly after this so you can see him."
The bell rang and we walked to the hall. The whole entire school was in the hall. And the prefects were sitting on the big stage. But none of them matched the description of Sonic.
"I can't see him." I whisper to Silver.
"They're practising some speeches or something. It's the beginning of the term." Just then two prefects ran up the stage.
I think I can see Sonic. And his top button is undone and he has a small tie. And he is soooooo hot! I can't wait to meet him.
"Can you see him now?" Silver grinned.
"Yeah he's cute."
"Oh. Are you gay?" I blushed. No one has ever asked me that question.
"Don't worry about it no-one cares. But I'm afraid to say that Sonic has already got a boyfriend. His name is Knuckles; he's the captain of the basketball team. And he's got a six-pack and everything.
"Damn!"
"Don't worry about it just wait until they break up. Sonic is a player."
"Attention, Trinity High!" the headmaster boomed. Everyone stopped talking.
"Welcome back to Trinity High. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas holidays. I would like give a warm welcome to the new students who have arrived the school. I hope the other boys will give you all the support you need."
"I will!" Sonic yelped. Everyone laughed.
"Alright." The headmaster calmed the school down. "As I was saying I hope the new students enjoy themselves and if you're worried about anything just ask me, a teacher, and a prefect try to not ask Sonic he'll change his mind after he says one thing."
"Yo! I do not! I just try to improve, man!" The whole school laughed again.
"I was only joking Sonic. To be honest Sonic explains things the best."
"Yeah especially when I found Sonic flirting with a senior." A red echidna said.
"Oooohhhhhhhhh!" The whole school screamed.
"Whatever, man!" Sonic said.
"Silence! Knuckles that was inappropriate."
"Sorry!" Knuckles didn't look like he meant it. After forty minutes of talking and a few occasional laughs after Sonic making a joke or Sonic and Knuckles having a debate about the whole senior thing. The assembly finished. Personally that was the best assembly I'd been to because seeing Sonic sit there giving his beautiful smile and pulling funny faces. I have to admit that Knuckles was very very very lucky to have him.
"Come with me, Shadow." Silver said. I followed him to the stage where Sonic was talking to the other prefects.
"Sonic!" Silver said, tapping Sonic on the shoulder.
"Silver! Yo! Wassup up! How are you, man!" Sonic said giving Silver a high five.
"I'm fine, you?"
"Yeah I'm good! Annoyed with Knux, but yeah… Yo yo yo! Who's this?"
"This is Shadow, he's a new student from New York."
"Holy Crap that's tight! Yo! What's up, Shadow!"
"Hi, Sonic. You remind me of someone from my old school."
"Yeah well we might be cousins!" Sonic said sarcastically.
"Which part of New York did you come from Sonic?" Silver asked.
"The good old Bronx!"
"I'm Brooklyn."
"Sweet! Well I have to go guys I see ya later homies!"
"See ya, Sonic"
"Peace!" Sonic screamed in the hall that made it echo and walked off. Silver and me laughed.
"I told you, you'd like him."
"Yeah you're right."
"Come on before Tails starts to panic being by himself."
Me and Silver catched up with Tails sitting by himself outside eating.
"How long did that take you!" Tails said crossly.
"Sorry I was introducing Shadow to Sonic."
"Do you like him?"
"Yeah he's cool!"
"Do you think he's fit?"
"Yeah." I blushed.
"Aw!"
"Shut up, guys."
"Don't worry Sonic and Knuckles are sure to break up soon." But just after Tails said that. We saw Sonic and Knuckles making out in the corner, really passionately. " Ok you'll have to wait a little bit longer." They laughed.
The ball rang again. It's English. We all head towards the classroom and see Knuckles kissing Sonic goodbye. Sonic must be in this lesson.
"Aw! Knuckles you don't have to say that!" Sonic said giggling as Knuckles was kissing his neck.
"But I love you, baby. I see you later alright."
"Ok." They gave each other one last kiss.
"See ya." Sonic whispered in Knuckles ear and then Knuckles walked off. Sonic grabbed his phone and started looking at his texts. His uniform was definitely a match to Tails description. The door opened and teacher stepped out.
"Come in class. Sonic." She pointed at Sonic's uniform. Sonic sighed and reluctantly neaten up his uniform.
"Yo! But I'm not touching the tie!"
"Sonic!"
"Oh c'mon, Miss. D!"
"Sonic please!"
"Oh alright you're the boss." Sonic grabbed his tie and pulled it down.
"Happy?" He said and rushed to the back to sit next to Jet. He must be one of his friends.
"Sonic!" The teacher pointed to the desk at the front. Sonic tilted his head back and sighed. He sat on the chair.
"Alright class settle down!"
"Right have you finished your stories!"
"Yes!"
"Who wants to read their first, Sonic why don't you read yours first!" Sonic rolled his eyes and walked to the very front.
"Once upon a time…" When he finished the story. The whole class was laughing, clapping and cheering. Sonic bowed and sat down.
"Very good, Sonic!" The teacher was laughing too. "Who's next!"
The class had a very good imagination; I really enjoyed listening to their stories. Then the bell rang, I have to admit that I was upset leaving that class.
The last lesson was Maths, I tried to catch up and talk to my new crush Sonic.
"Hi, Sonic."
"Yo! Shadow y'alright!"
"Yeah! Just thought I should say Hi."
"Could you sit next to me for Maths, Shadow?'
"What?"
"I'm really crap at Maths I need someone to help me, y'know what I'm saying."
"Yeah."
"Please?"
"Ok sure."
"Ah thanks Shadow!"
"You're welcome."
They arrived in the classroom and Sonic and me found a seat sitting next to each other. Then teacher told us to get started. I can see already that Sonic was starting to panic. I helped him throughout the entire lesson and he helped me a bit aswell then the final bell rang.
"Thanks so much, Shadow. You have seriously saved my life."
"Glad to help and you're not that dumb in Maths."
"Yo! Shadow, I failed the entrance exam to get into this school, I had to pay!"
"You're funny, Sonic!"
"Well I see ya around, Shadow" he gave me a quick wink and left the classroom. Oh my gosh he's so hot, hotter than Chris!
