Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic, although I wish I did.
A/N: FINALLY! I got Word, but I don't have any of my previous work with me while I'm on this retarded vacation. So here we are with this fanfic. Also, there's gonna be a lot of incorrect grammar and spelling, but that's because they're teens. If you're sixteen are you going to be talking like a robot? You're probably going to like, "I'm gonna kick his ass!" not, "I am going to physically harm him!" Also, italics mean thoughts.
School Life
Chapter: 1
First Day
Shadow's POV
Note: Shadow's POV isn't 1st person, but the others are.
I hate school. Why do even need to go there, it's just a place to get fucked up and socially ruined. Shadow was wearing a black shirt with red birds on it that seemed to be flying away from a bloody black dagger. The shirt went up his neck to right before his chin, on top of the shirt was a spiky collar on his neck. He was also wearing black skinny jeans with red paint splattered over it, and his hair was the usual spiky red and black mess. Well, at least it's a cold, dark, rainy day... Shadow brushed his teeth, grabbed his red and black Lamborghini Embolado {just so you know, I had to Google a Lamborghini to find out what it looked like}. Shadow personally customized to his liking, and was very proud of it, and the fact that he had never scratched. Although, it has had its fair share of races. Shadow chuckled at the memory and jumped in through the convertible top. As Shadow drove to school (speeding, mind you), he listened to his favorite driving song, The Highway Song (by SOAD, possible the BEST band in the world), and by the time the song was over, he made it to Dr. Eggman's Academy For Teens {I had to give him a part, might as well be a teacher}. Shadow parked in his favorite spot, the corner. Then, Shadow spotted a car just like his, except it was ocean blue and red. I wonder what loser tried to be cool with that car... Maybe I should knock the spirit out of him with a good welcome beat down. But at that moment, a boy about the same age as Shadow (16) got out of the car. He was the exact opposite of Shadow - bright and cheerful. This guy's gonna be a pain in the ass, I can tell. Shadow pretended to ignore him and proceeded to walk into the building, and saw the school's football team, The Hedgehogs' mascot costume in a trophy case. I'm not gonna be the loser who gets stuck in there, naw, I'mma be the best fucking quarterback, and then maybe Mr. Bright Blue, won't be a bother. Shadow walked into the orientation hall, and wasn't surprised that he was the only there.
After about half an hour of lurking in the corner, other started to show up. Well, there's Mr. Bright Blue. Shadow didn't see anyone else that was familiar to him. Dr. Eggman stepped up on to a pedestal at the front of the room.
"Students, you've been accepted to this academy for a reason. This reason is that you are all special, and are here to be taught, no, trained to be the best of the best. So here we are with you select few who have proved themselves worthy for the stress and pressure of the classes of this school, and each other. Therefore, I will explain some basic rules:
1. Try not to curse or be obscene, there is no rule against it, but please, control yourselves.
2. No, under any circumstance, sexual activity, this will be upheld at all times, and this rule has always been upheld.
3. No fighting.
If you follow simple rules, I'm sure we can get along well. I will hand out your course selection cards, and you can relax for the first week at your dorms. After that, the school year will officially begin and your torture, err, learning will be very fast-paced."
The youngest girl whimpered. What a wimp, she definitely won't be a problem…
"I will now call the attendance to make sure you have all arrived," Eggman continued, oblivious. "Sonic."
"Right here" Mr. Bright Blue answered with a happy tone that bothered Shadow.
"Cream."
"Here, professor," the little girl that whimpered answered shyly.
"Vector."
"Here," a buff green-haired person said with a gravelly voice and gum in his mouth.
"Big."
"Hi." There's no other word for it, that guy's fucking obese. And what's with the purple hair and coat? I could probably kill him if I don't hold back my strength.
"Blaze."
"Here, sir," A girl with a cap purred, she wore a formal coat, like a princesses. She could be a like, formal cat… She seems strict and withdrawn, though.
"Mighty?"
"Here," said a tough-looking guy with really long red hair and a black shirt and jeans. Copy-cat.
"Espio."
"Here,"
"Eh, where?"
"Here," out of nowhere, a short, spiky purple-haired person appeared. Damn, look at that shuriken! Upon his back were several large shuriken {Think Iruka and Mizuki from like the first episodes of Naruto}.
"You have spiky purple shoes." Big said with his thick and stupid voice {no offense to Big, he just is}. Espio nodded in response.
"Knuckles"
"Yeah" He looks just like Mighty, they must be related or something, although he has Lego shoes. Shadow had to hold back a chuckle.
"Miles, or Tails, whichever one you prefer."
"Here, and the latter, please," this kid's a nerd. Seriously, who wears a yellow vest to a school WITHOUT a uniform? Actually, who wears a yellow vest to a school with a uniform? And, really? He's reading binary code… If he messes with me, I'm so gonna beat the shit outta that midget!
"Silver."
"Here," damn, boy grow some balls and get a deeper voice. Also what's with the white gloves, spiky hair, shirt, pants, and shoes?
"Rouge."
"Here," said a girl with a weird heart shaped top that showed too much cleavage. Stripper, prostitute, whatever she is, she shouldn't be here; this is a school for proper people.
"Cosmo."
"Here," said a little girl. She wore a dress that seemed to be woven of grass and her hair was just as green as her emerald eyes. She was shy and clung on to Tails. I could leave her alone, I guess.
"Amy Rose."
"Here," said a girl with spiky pink hair, knee high red boots with a white stripe through the front, and a red dress. She has the loveliest voi- What am I thinking? She's just a girl…
"And final-!"
"Here," Shadow interjected. All at once everyone turned to look at Shadow who was leaning on a corner. Shadow glared at everyone one of them, except Amy, and stopped at Sonic. Sonic had a smile kind of like: Hi, let's be friends, and by that I mean rivals who're gonna end up in detention together for fighting. Bitch wants to play rough? I ain't gonna back down! Shadow returned Sonic's smile with an arrogant smirk of his own.
"Well, there you are, Shadow. Everyone's here now so… Here are your cards, and on the back is a map of the school and a route to each of your dorms. Have a nice week!" Eggman finished and walked off the platform, and went to his office.
Shadow went to his dorm room and groaned when Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Silver came in. Shadow immediately claimed the bed in the corner, Tails and Silver shared a bunk, leaving Sonic and Knuckles to fight over who got the top bunk. Shadow started to decorate the headboard of his bed with some pictures. One was his car, the one next to it was the blueprints of aforementioned car, and at the top was a picture of Maria Robotnik, his deceased childhood friend. Sonic and Knuckles paused in their fighting and Sonic asked,
"Your girlfriend?"
"No, a friend of mine who died thanks to stupid humanity."
"How do you hate humans, you are one?"
"Because, Mrs. White Gloves, humans are the source of all evil."
"You just dissed yourself," Knuckles said cracking his own.
"You and me, and everyone else on this God-forsaken planet. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go see if I can kick some loser's ass in a street race."
"Yeah right, I'd beat you in a race!"
"You wanna go, Mr. Bright Blue?"
"You got names for everyone; let's see if your engine's where your mouth is!"
"What's your wager?"
"What's your wager?" they asked at the same time, which caused Sonic to smirk and Shadow scowl more prominently than normal.
"1 grand and of course bragging rights!"
"1 k plus bragging rights." Sonic exclaimed and Shadow stated at the same time.
"Alright and you, Yellow Tails, can judge."
"Alright, hey Tails can you judge?" They said, again at the same time.
"Sure, Sonic." Tails said ignoring Shadow.
Silver went to tell his best friend, Blaze about this contest, so the whole girl's dorm (all the girls shared one dorm, but it was huge) knew about it. Naturally, in about two minutes everyone was out to see the race. The race was a simple U-turn except it went out 300 miles {I know nothing about street races, but these cars' speeds will be explained in a later chapter} before the turn. Tails made a little camera with live stream that Silver said he could make follow Sonic and Shadow as they raced, so everyone could see what was happening {Right I don't know shit about car races so I'm going to skip the race}.
One epic race that you should have seen later…
"Damn!" Shadow yelled as he kicked a rock and sent it flying.
"That was awesome and FAST!" Sonic yelled as he jumped out of his car.
"Oh just shut the fuck up, or I'll make you!" Shadow yelled, extremely annoyed.
"What are you angry about, it was a tie?"
"For me that's not good enough, I should've crushed you."
"You're a little obsessed aren't you?" as Sonic continued, the others came to see the contestants.
"Call it what you want, I need a tie-breaker. How about we do it the right way?"
"What're you talking about, Shadow?"
"Classic fistfight."
"Umm I guess…" Sonic answered rather unsurely. Heh, this'll be some easy shit, I can pound this guy - he's not even sure if he can fight. Everyone backed off, not wanting to get caught in the fray, but still wanting to watch.
"Sonic, no!" Amy cried.
"Please Amy, I can take Shadow."
"You talk big, care to put your mouth were fists are?"
"Sure, piece a cake!"
And as the sun was setting the two teens were fighting with punches, kicks, fists pumping, and their hands held high {I got that from Hands Held High by LP,
"Jump when they tell us they wanna see jumpin
Fuck that! I wanna see some fists pumpin!.."}.
Finally, at about midnight, Dr. Eggman found the bored crowd. At the center, Shadow and Sonic were still at it. Their shirts were left on the floor about six feet away from them. Shadow and Sonic themselves had each other's blood on their faces, hairless 6-packs {yes, they both have 6-pack abdomens, and I always imagined them like anime characters you know, without any chest hair or pit hair, despite Shadow having chest hair as a hedgehog}, and fists.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but what exactly do you think you're doing?" Dr. Eggman interrupted while Sonic and Shadow were drawing heavy breaths and slightly smiling (well Shadow was smirking).
"Trying to see who wins!" Sonic exclaimed as Shadow answered,
"I'm trying to kick his ass." Eggman raised an eyebrow.
"Sir," Shadow added.
"Well, we have our first troublemakers of the year, hold let me get me camera. CUBOT GET OVER HERE!" Eggman yelled,
"All right, since it's the beginning of the year, I'll let you off with two, two hour detentions tomorrow; one before breakfast and one before dinner." Eggman pulled out two sheets of paper out of his back pocket {ass}. Shadow took his, and began to lean on a corner while everyone else rose to Sonic's defense (by yelling loudly that Shadow started it). Wow, seems like everyone's his friend. Losers, all of them. Except maybe Am- nope, all of them, you can't fall victim to retarded emotions!
"Quiet!" Eggman roared, and then started coughing.
"From what I can gather out of your combined commotion, Sonic did not indeed start this fight. However, let me ask one of you at a time so I can make sure the story is straight. You girl, um Cream, I believe start?" Eggman pointed at Cream who was holding Cheese (her Chao) and she nodded.
"Um well, this started a long, long time ago. Silver said that Shadow said he wanted to well, Shadow used some no-no words about winning a street race {yes, I can imagine Cream saying that (because she's TWELVE [lol I'm thirteen] not sixteen) with Cheese nodding, speaking of which…}." Cream started timidly with Cheese nodding in agreement from within Cream's arms. Eggman raised his eyebrows and he turned to Shadow who nodded, and his eyebrows rose farther up.
"They tied in the race, and Shadow was saying something to Sonic, and yelled another no-no word. Then we," she motioned to the crowd, "caught up, and Shadow said something about putting your mouth were your fists are. Sonic said it was a piece of cake and they've been fighting since before the sun set."
"Is this true?" Eggman asked and everyone (including Shadow) nodded.
"Well then, according to official school rules… Err, Cubot give me the schoolbook of rules." Cubot took a picture of Sonic and Shadow and handed Eggman the book from within his amazingly boxly {I know it's not a word} contents.
"See here, if Shadow had actually hit Sonic, and Sonic used self defense, then and only then, Sonic would be exempted from punishment. Nevertheless, Shadow had apparently challenged, not physically harmed, Sonic and Sonic accepted. Since Sonic accepted, he also accepted the punishment, should he be caught in the act. Therefore, I shall see the both of you in detention tomorrow for lines. As for now, Sonic follow me to the East clinic, Cubot take Shadow to the West, {I've always thought that directions should be capitalized, as well as the 'the' in a title, because it's part of the title}" Everyone groaned at Eggman's punishment for Sonic, but knew there was nothing they could do for him…
"Thanks guys, it's always good to know that I've got friends to back me up, I'd do the same for you." Sonic said smiling to them as he followed Eggman. Shadow followed Cubot (or rather Cubot followed Shadow, because Shadow left quickly as everyone started to glare at him) to the clinic.
"What happened to you?"
"Fight."
"This early? Cubot tell Ivo we'll need more supplies if this is how the school year's starting! Why couldn't it just something simple like explosive diarrhea or even implosive diarrhea?" Cubot nodded to the nurse and left.
"Hold on. And I mean wait here, I'll get the ice packs."
"It's okay, I'm fine. I'll just go bac-"
"NO! You'll wait here and get treated properly, and you'll wait stay here the night!"
"No, Sonic will think I'm weak as will everyone else."
"Sonic? The one in the East, he's also staying the night so you can just relax. Honestly, 'they'll think I'm weak' is that all you think of?"
"I'll not show weakness. Nor will I give in to pain."
"Are you planning on joining the military?"
"I have a spot in G.U.N. waiting for me as soon as I finish my time here."
"Ah. That explains why you're not crying. Well then, I have the feeling I'll be seeing you a lot this year and the next. I must say though, it really pains me to see the young ones go to war, as they never come back."
"My decision is made, I have no other option."
"What's that to mean?"
"No one to no love, one to be loved by. No emotion to show. No pain to scream for. Nothing to lose. Plus, I made a promise to save this pitiful species."
"You talk as though you're not."
"I assure you I am, I just hate humanity."
"Why?"
"Because it's nothing but evil, greedy idiots. The worse ones are the bad Republicans, but there are some good ones…" Shadow sighed.
"So young," She sighed, shook her head, and walked out of the room.
Amy quietly slid into the room while Shadow had his eyes closed.
"Shouldn't you be comforting Sonic?" Amy yelped and jumped back.
"I was going to… I just was."
"Uh huh, and he told you to leave him alone I'm guessing."
"No! He welcomed my love and gave me a kiss!" Shadow turned to her and raised an eyebrow without opening his two black (as in their injured, they're normally red, green, or blue depending on what emotion he has) eyes.
"For some reason I don't believe you. He's not even your boyfriend is he?"
"Wha…How did you know I was-"
"Going to say that? Heh he… Trade secret I guess. So, what do you want?" Shadow asked.
"I'm going to get something straight, punk!" Shadow chuckled "No I'm serious, if you get Sonic into trouble again I'll personally pound you to pulp!"
"With what, Amy? No offense, but I seriously doubt you could take me in fight."
"With what? With this!" Amy exclaimed as she grabbed her Piko Piko Hammer and swung it around menacingly. Shadow opened his eyes and asked a question that he would never get the answer to,
"Where the hell do you keep that thing?"
"If I told you it wouldn't be a secret, silly!" She replied with a wink and stuck her tongue out at him. Shadow, doing the wrong thing, voiced his thought.
"Probably up her dress…" he muttered.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Amy started to smack him around with her hammer.
"Hey! Stop! No, please! Ow! Shit! Stop! Oh Fuck, not there! AHHHHHH!" with a final hit to his lower regions {watch adamwestslapdog's Zelda abridged on YouTube, ow my groin!}, Shadow collapsed right as the nurse came in.
"What have you done to my patient?" Screeched and started to shove Amy out of the room.
"No, it's okay we were just messing around," Shadow replied as if a girl hadn't just beaten him up.
"Okay? Okay? Do you call this okay?" She screamed/asked as she grabbed both of Shadow's bruised arms and brought them into better lighting.
"These twigs" ("Excuse me?" Shadow interrupted) "were bruised before, but now there just broken! They've snapped in several places and must be fixed at once. Unfortunately we're out of anesthesia, so you'll be in for a rough night, err, morning. I have to get some more things, Amy can you promise not to kill him or harm at all while I'm gone?"
"Yes, Nurse Joy {Yay for Pokemon}," Amy answered like a little girl in trouble. With that, the nurse left and Amy turned to Shadow.
"I broke both your arms and you didn't even react."
"I guess you're partially deaf because I SCREAMED!" Shadow finished with a death growl. Amy winced and exclaimed,
"What the hell, err sorry, was that?"
"Don't be sorry, heh I always thought it was hot when a chick curses (Amy glared). That by the way was death growling. Death Metal bands use it. Winds Of Plague is my favorite Death Metal band."
"It sounds painful, like it could rip your larynx or something."
"Interesting choice of words, I once heard someone call it larynx-ripper. I personally like it when Serj death sings and Daron screams."
"Huh?"
"SOAD, System Of A Down, possibly the best band in the world."
"Right and you called it death singing just now. Do you do it?"
"All the time, like a hobby!" Shadow exclaimed, as if he was excited about it.
"Really? Can you do it now?"
"Sure…
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
I'LL BREAK YOUR HEARTS AND SHATTAH YO SOULS!" Shadow drew in a quick breath started again, eyebrows furrowed and face contorted with what seemed to be anger.
"HEED WHAT THE HOLY MOUNTAINS SAID TONIGHT,
"WE ARE THE DEMONS WHO WILL FIGHT
AND FLEE FROM THE LIGHT!
UPON YOUR SOULS WE SHALL FEED
WE HAVE BECOME A WHOLE NEW BREED!""
Amy had her mouth gaping pen and looked generally at a loss for words{I actually sing that and got the idea from my sister} .
"What did you say after twinkle, twinkle little star?"
"I'll break your hearts and shattah yo souls. Heed what the holy mountains said tonight,
"We are the demons who will fight
And free from the light
Upon your souls we shall feed
We have become a whole new breed."" Shadow said in a monotone voice.
"You listen to that kind of trash?"
"I made those lyrics up myself, and yes I do." Shadow's tone didn't change, but his scowl deepened.
"Oh, sorry. I didn-"
"Can you leave me to tend to my patient's now surgical needs?" Shadow and Amy jumped at Nurse Joy who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Yeah, I was just leaving."
"See ya 'round, eh?"
"As if!" Amy exclaimed. She turned on her heel and left the room, but when she looked back, she had a minuscule smile playing her lips.
