BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Shadow Quills, groaned as he hit his alarm clock to stop it. He sat up from his bed and stretched then he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Man, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up late…" he turned on his phone and saw a text from his girlfriend from last night.
R: Great party, don't you think, handsome?~ Good night~
Not finding the energy to answer, Shadow groaned and charged his phone then he scratched his head.
"Ugh, what time is it…?" he turned over to his calendar and narrowed his eyes.
August 4, 2018 - First Day of School
"Fuck…" Shadow sighed and got off his bed, not even bothering to fold his blanket as he scratched his quills and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He scrubbed his fur and quills, brushed his teeth and washed his face before heading to his closet to change. He placed on his white shirt and his indigo vest, buttoning it up. He wore his red necktie, grey jeans, black belt, and white socks then he headed downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Man, I never liked the first day of school…" he grumbled as he ate his piece of toast then drank his coffee. "Why did father have to make a school for a business? And why did he make ME a Biology teacher in his school? Why can't I be a doctor with my big brother Terios and our uncle Death in father's other establishment, Mental Chaos?"
After breakfast, he washed his dishes and cleaned the table then he grabbed his watch and place on his usual hover-shoes. He headed to his garage and got his scarlet car out then he drove off to the school.
As usual, he was the first one there, since it was 6:45 AM, as he parked his car at the Teacher's Parking Lot. He went towards the building and unlocked the doors then he entered the empty building and went up to the Faculty Room.
"Okay," he slumped to his desk and looked at the sheets of identity papers on it. "hmm…I see we have two new students coming. One for my class in the 8th Year and one for Fleetway's class in the 10th Year…"
"Hello, brother,"
Shadow turned his head to see his older brother, Mephiles Quills, the Chemistry Teacher, as he stood nearby. The red-striped, ebony hedgehog gave no interest to him and turned back to his papers.
"Your early, as usual," he said.
"Still not earlier than you, apparently," Mephiles sighed and sat down on the seat behind his desk.
"I'm always early on the first day of school. Where's Lancelot?"
"Not yet here. He wanted to make a grand entrance later at the afternoon assembly to greet the new students. Speaking of which, did you get any newbies?"
"Yeah, Fleetway and I got two; in my class is a 15 year old azure hedgehog called Sonic Spiker and in Fleet's class is a 19 year old lime hedgehog called Manic Spiker,"
"Are they siblings?"
"Probably but I don't know yet,"
"Hmm…" Mephiles's brows furrowed. "do you think they have any relation to the murderer that father and Uncle Death captured a few years ago; Maurice Spiker? Or to the sick hedgehog that Terios is tending to called Ogilvie Spiker? Or to our fellow teacher comrade Sonia Spiker?"
"Again, I have no idea," Shadow groaned, rubbing his aching head frustratingly. "Look, I'll tell you the basic info at our lunch break, okay?"
"Fine…"
{MEANWHILE}
"Manic! Wake up!"
Manic Spiker groaned and turned over to ignore the azure hedgehog jumping on his bed.
"Sonic, go back to sleep…"
"I CAN'T!" Manic's younger brother, Sonic Spiker, replied, as hyper as he usually is. "IT'S OUR FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL IN A NEW SCHOOL! BESIDES, WE'RE GONNA BE LATE IF WE DON'T GET UP!"
"School starts at 8 AM…"
"WELL, IT'S NEARLY 7! COME ON!"
"Fuck what?!" Manic jumped out of bed with wide eyes and turned his head to the clock. "HOLY SHIT, WE NEED TO RUSH!"
Sonic sped out of his big brother's room and across the halls, heading straight into the bathroom to take a shower first. Manic, on the other hand, ran to the room of their big sister, Sonia Spiker.
"Sonia! Sonia!" He knocked rapidly at the wooden door. "We need to go! It's nearly 7 and our house ain't near the school!"
"Wait, it's nearly 7?!" Sonia leapt out of bed. "Oh crap, I can't be late AGAIN! Last time I was late, Principal Lancelot scolded at me for being a 'bad example' to the students!"
She opened the door in time to see her speedy brother rush back in his room to change while her other brother slammed the bathroom door closed. She sighed and grabbed her uniform then ran down to take a shower in the bathroom on the first floor.
Meanwhile, Sonic changed into his school uniform. He wore a sky blue polo, indigo pants, a black belt, and white socks then he sped down to the kitchen. He placed three bowls on the table and the carton of milk and cereal then he brewed coffee for his big sister as his older brother came down, all dressed in his forest green polo, dark chocolate brown pants, grey belt, and white socks.
"Ah, yes," Manic sighed and hopped on his chair. "Cereal with milk. Our USUAL breakfast,"
"Well, now," Sonia went out of the first floor bathroom, already in her carnation pink shirt, fuchsia vest, red necktie, lavender jeans, purple belt, and white socks. "we aren't THAT rich so no complaining about food or anything, Manic."
"Honestly," Sonic shrugged as he sat down. "I would prefer chili dogs for breakfast but we've got no money so I don't complain,"
"See, Manny?" Sonia sighed, sitting beside her brothers. "If you want more money then you should've stuck on being a thief,"
"Nuh-uh! No way!" Manic shook his head and shuddered. "I ain't going back to Chaos Prison! That was a hellhole!"
Sonic and Sonia burst out laughing as the lime hedgehog had a scowl on his usually calm face.
