I do not own anything relating to Sonic the hedgehog.

Chapter 1: Transfer student

The school bell chimed loudly over the school grounds as the autumn leaves danced on the breeze in a ceremonial like fashion to the season that was upon the world. As many students flooded the grounds one soul's spirits was high as he rushed towards the school with a grin. His long sapphire blue quills flowed with the wind and emerald eyes sparked with life. Sonics' mood was a wild high 'I made it on time this time thank god, I do not want another detention Vice president Amy would have my hide if I landed in detention again.'

Sonic was the school's student council president alongside vice president Amy who had to be the most obsessed fan girl he knew. She drilled it into his head quite literally that image was everything. This for Sonic meant obey her will or meet the business end of her hammer. Which most people who made Amy angry quickly found out that she was deadly when angry. Entering the main building he slowed his pace as he went to homeroom to wait for the day to begin as always. Sonic never minded going to school but the repetition of it all did get to be a toll on the nerves. He wished for something exciting to happen just once that would change everything. But odds were small of this happening since most of the people in his school were from well cultured families. In plain blunt English it meant rich families, which was not a bad thing but it just meant the troublemakers were kept far from the grounds. As he entered the classroom he was met at the door by happy accident by a white furred hedgehog he knew as Silver. "Good morning Silver." Sonic greeted with a smile.

"O-oh good morning to you president Sonic." Silver greeted with his formal title to which Sonic shook his head and retorted "Oh please Silver I told you, you don't have to call me that just Sonic is fine. I mean we may both be on the council but you don't need to be so formal."

Silver's amber eyes glowed with what seemed to be a shy tenderness that Sonic knew was his classic way of showing discomfort. "Listen just relax okay." He encouraged him.

Silver looked directly into his eyes and his posture seemed more confident and sure of himself as he gave a smile of his own and nodded. "You have a point Sonic, anyways I hope you have a good day I only stopped by to pass along some paperwork to Amy."

"Paperwork? I thought we had finished all the paperwork for the start of term and the school festival isn't for a few weeks." Sonic asked his curiosity now in full gear.

"Oh I thought you knew, your class has a new transfer student coming in beginning today. Amy was going to ask you to show them around today." Silver explained.

"Oh I see, well thank you for the heads up it sounds like fun." Sonic said feeling more energetic with the news. Silver moved past him and with a small bow wished him a good day and left for his own class.

Upon entering a high pitched voice called his name and a girl hedgehog with pink fur approached him to which Sonic smiled and waved hello "Morning Amy."

"Well seems you are on time for once mister so I suppose since you bumped into Silver you know we have a transfer student coming into our class." Amy said in a business like tone.

"Yeah, I do what about it?" Sonic asked raising a curious brow. "Well as the representative of our school it is your job that students at this school feel safe and welcome so therefore I want you to show him the ropes." Amy said.

Sonic sighed at her overdramatic display of what most called her iron work ethnic but simply nodded "Right, right just leave it to me so what do you know about him Amy?"

"That is the strange thing, he passed the entrance exams for this school but couldn't be admitted right away something about having bad history or some sort of mix up. One thing is for sure his file doesn't tell me much other than he is pretty smart by the look of his transcripts from his last school." Amy said with a slight hint of worry to the voice but Sonic was curious to see who the mystery student was as he looked over the files Amy had spread out over her desk. His past was very foggy if not quite shady, this caused a hint of worry but Sonic shook it off and as the final bell rang he took his seat near the back of the class and waited for the teacher to arrive with the new student. Oddly enough when the teacher entered the classroom she was alone and was late by a good 15 minutes of time. Once she began the class Sonic wondered if maybe Silver and Amy had been wrong about there being someone new to the school. He let the thought drift from his mind and focused on the work his teacher gave him as the class wore on.

As an hour passed in the class the teacher began a long lecture and the whole class paid sharp attention to her voice till the door to the classroom suddenly opened and Sonic was the first to look up from his notes. In the doorway stood a black hedgehog with red markings that seemed to melt into the blackness of his upturned quills. Captured between his tanned lips was a short toothpick and behind him was the principal. "Oh my, you actually found him?" The teacher said as she rushed to the door as the class murmured about the sudden interruption and the dark figure standing at the door with an annoyed glare.

Sonic was shocked at his new classmate, he seemed to be different from everyone else he defiantly stood out in the crowd with his black school blazer unbuttoned revealing the white dress shirt underneath it and the white tie that was loosely hung round his neck. He look more like a rebel type and already Sonic could hear girls whispering about how handsome he looked. "Alright class, let me introduce our newest classmate Shadow. Shadow-kun transferred in just recently so everyone please make him feel welcome."

Everyone chorused sign of approval to this and this was when Shadow gave a slight chuckle and said in a tenor like voice that was low and sweet, "Thanks for the intro teach, but please I am not here to be made a spectacle of so if I may take my seat so we can get this over with that would be great."

This stunned everyone in the room as the principal got angry "Young man you are pressing your luck on the first day first giving us the run around on campus than disrespecting your teacher I suggest you watch your mouth."

Shadow tilted his head in the principal's direction focusing his cold ruby eyes upon him and said in the same tone "I am merely asking the teacher to do her job is that such a crime. And as for my giving you a so called run around you brought that on yourself for trying to force me into something I am not willing to do."

"Your family expects you to go to class what would they do if they find out you were cutting class on the first day?" The principal questioned.

Shadow paused for a moment and thought and came back with a single word "Nothing."

By this point it seemed like the new boy was about to get into trouble deep so Sonic stood and cut in "Sir with your permission I would like to handle this situation as the school's rep."

The principal gazed at Sonic who seemed determined to do anything to help as always and with a sigh he said "Alright take him to the council room and talk some sense into him."

Sonic smiled and went to Shadow and simply said "Follow me if you would." With a glare at the principal as he passed him, he silently followed Sonic till they reached the student council room. Once the door was shut Sonic turned his attention to Shadow who was already perched on a desk giving him a piercing glare. "You know you really could have gotten into deep trouble with the principal back there." Sonic said with a strict tone in his voice.

"Yeah, and dose it look like I really care what they think. As far as I am concerned school is a huge waste of my time." Shadow said.

Sonic grew frustrated by this and with an annoyed voice rounded on him and yelled at him "That is still no excuse for acting like that to the teachers they aren't just people you can walk on like you are better than they are!"

After a few moments of silence that hung thickly between the two Shadow got off the desk and the next moment he had Sonic pinned to a wall forcefully. "Hey what are you doing let me go right now!" Sonic complained.

"Shut up you stupid hedgehog." Shadow said with a deep voice that halted Sonic in his tracks. That voice was so soft and sweet that all his body went numb on the spot. Shadow took his face in one of his hands and made him look him in the eyes as he continued in that same soft but harsh voice "Who are you to tell me who I am is wrong when you yourself hide who you truly are. It is people like you that make me sick…because all they are, are people they pretend to be. You may look happy and bright on the outside but you are holding something in and masking it with this perfect student façade."

He then moved to whisper to his ear bringing him close "You are a true faker…and deep down you know that so don't judge someone when you have no room to talk since you are no different."

He smirked and he pulled away just enough so he could nuzzle Sonic's cheek with his own a deep emotion glimmering in his cold eyes as he simply turned and left him alone. A deep ache was felt in Sonics' chest once he was gone, an emotion he couldn't place settled into his heart as he looked at his hands and wondered what Shadow could have possibly meant. He wasn't faking who he was he was happy with his life after all he was one of the beloved figures in school and had many friends and a family that loved him back home. His thoughts were shattred however as he felt tears rush down his cheeks and he looked stunned to this as he rubbed away at his eyes he wished he knew why he was crying. The answer came when he brushed his hand against his chest and he pulled at a silver chain kept out of sight from the public eye which held a locket attached to it. He opened it and looked at the photo inside and his heart ached as he gripped the locket in his hands. It was a family portrait of a family he once had he, a purple haired female and a green furred male stood by a beautiful looking female hedgehog he once called mother. He had fought so hard to hide his feelings but Shadow had seen right through him, but as always Sonic had to brush away his tears as he left the council room and hid the locket inside of his clothes close to his heart to find Shadow and possibly get some answers.

I know its rough bear with me please R and R ^_^
