Streeter High

The daily life of 11th grade for Shadow the Hedgehog & acquaintances.

Late August

Three cars sped along the road as darkness began to settle at 6:00, a sleek black 1996 Acura Integra Special Edition, a shining silver 2010 Mustang RTR, & a blue Mercedes-Benz S-Class. They all came & parked in front of a large apartment. Out stepped 5 hedgehogs & a cat. Then they all walked into the apartment.

The apartment had a kitchen, a living room with 3 sofas, a TV, an Xbox, a Wii, & a large desk with 2 computers. Upstairs, there was a laundry room, 8 bedrooms, & an outside deck with a table & chairs. The six entered the apartment & sat on the sofas. The pink hedgehog, Amy, said in awe," Wow. I knew school here was better in some ways, but..."

"Yeah," the onyx & purple hedgehog, Rose, replied a little sarcastically, but equally awed.

The blue hedgehog, Sonic, stood up & said," Whatever. I'm gonna see if there's food. I'm starving."

The silver hedgehog, Silver, groaned & said," There's probably only American food in there, like Burger King. But I'll eat anyway 'cause I'm starving too."

Then, the purple cat, Blaze, said," We should probably go shopping for real food, hoping that they sell any here."

The onyx & red hedgehog, Shadow, then answered coldly," Could be worse. They might've not let us bring our cars with us. Then we would've had to learn to drive American cars, or worse, European cars. But of course Sonic," Shadow said as he saw Sonic enter the room with a plate of white colored mush," that doesn't apply to you because you already drive a damn European car," he frowned & said," At least they have an Xbox."

Then, Silver entered the room with a stack of paper plates & a plate full of pizza. He placed it on the table in front of them & said, "You have two food categories to choose from. Fake," he said as he pointed to Sonic's plate," or somewhat real," he said as he pointed to the plate of pizza.

"Real," everyone laughed together as they each grabbed a plate & a slice of pizza.

"Speaking of real," Rose said," what DID you just eat Sonic?"

Sonic, who was sitting back in his sofa, his eyes closed, answered," Don't know. Think it was some sort of vegetable mush."

"Gross," Blaze exclaimed in total disgust.

After they ate, the door bell rang. "I'll get it," Shadow said decidedly as he ran to the door. When he opened it, a short, elderly gray rabbit with spectacles was at the door. Shadow recognized her as the principle of the school & their host family while they stayed in America, Ms. Flynn.

"Hello, I'm Ms. Flynn. You must be Shadow," she said as she adjusted her spectacles & looked up at Shadow.

"Hi Ms. Flynn. Please do come in & thanks again for letting us stay here," Shadow said as he smiled warmly. Silver, behind him, dropped his jaw in awe by the fact that Shadow was actually being nice to a living thing. Meanwhile, the look on Ms. Flynn's face told you immediately that she thought he was very agreeable.

"Oh, it was no problem at all, it was actually a convenience for no one has lived in my apartment for years, & I'm usually to busy to come here anyway," Ms. Flynn said, still smiling, as she came in. She walked into the living room & sat down. As she walked into the living room, she casted her gaze around to survey the room & everyone in it. "Good, you've eaten," she then sighed & said," It is such a pleasure to have Japanese exchange students in this place again."

Shadow then introduced everyone & she seemed pleased with everyone's 'characters' as she said.

"So," Ms. Flynn began," I've come to present you all your schedules, classes, teachers, planners, & dormitories for the year," she said as she handed each person their 3 schedules for the year," seeing as your plane got held back by the snow a week ago. Tomorrow at 9:00 sharp, I will come by to pick you all up & give you a grand tour of the school & everything. Then we can go & have lunch together, your choice of restaurant. Sound good?" They all nodded.

"Though, Ms. Flynn," Rose said," would you give us the honor of driving to the school ourselves and you to the restaurant, & allowing us to pay the bill?"

Ms. Flynn laughed & said," You most certainly can drive yourselves & I, but I just can't allow the bill to pass. Besides, do you even have enough money, or an American drivers' license? "

"Why, yes," Blaze said," We each got an American drivers' license & plenty American dollars a month before our plane flight."

Ms. Flynn laughed, looked at her watch, & exclaimed," Well then, I must be going. It has been a pleasure to meet to you all & speak with you. I will be waiting at the office at 9:00. Don't be late & goodbye," she called through the door.

As soon as the door was closed, Shadow collapsed into the couch & groaned," My God! All that damn politeness! It was SO boring!"

Silver laughed & said sarcastically," I know! It was so SCARY! We were wondering what the hell was wrong with you. Just wait till you have to do that for a whole day, Shadow! A whole day!"

Shadow's reply was," Shove a damn pizza up your nose."

Sonic put a hand on Shadow & Silver's shoulders & said," Lets calm it down guys. Just relax. It was just probably all the pizza."

Shadow said," Sonic..."

Sonic answered eagerly," Yes?"

"Get off me before I hurt you," Shadow answered coldly.

Sonic immediately withdrew his hand & took a step back. "Thank you," Shadow answered.

"What about MY shoulder," Silver asked as he glared at Sonic mockingly.

"My apologies sir," Sonic said sarcastically. Silver sat down politely, leaving Sonic standing. Suddenly, Silver took him out from the stomach, & Shadow jumped across the room & gave Sonic a 'light' kick under Sonic's jaw while Sonic was still in the air. That kick caused Sonic to be flipped around in the air & land hard on his stomach, & flat on his face. He jumped back up immediately & tried to land a blow in Shadow's cheek, but Shadow did a back flip & ended up kicking Sonic under the jaw again. Sonic then flew for the wall, but grabbed the back of Silver's collar & pulled him along. Then, the two crashed into the wall, & Shadow said sarcastically," You guys DO know that Ms. Flynn probably wants her apartment back IN ONE PIECE."

When Sonic opened his eyes, he saw Shadow sitting down, smiling at him. Though Shadow was more sneering than smiling. The girls, however, were giving him sympathetic smiles, except for Rose, who was giving him a pitiful sneer as well. "Ow," he said as he got back up & sat down next to Amy. Silver got up & suddenly started laughing at him almost uncontrollably. Everyone was still watching him. "What," he asked obliviously.

Blaze just giggled & said," We just all think that that time, you went down too easily." Suddenly, everyone broke into laughter, except for Shadow, who just chuckled.

After the laughter died down, Amy said," Should we look at our schedules yet?"

"Sure," Blaze answered as they all picked up their schedules.

After some comparing, Amy said," We pretty much have the same classes. Our 1st & 2nd period, 6:30-9:30, is with Mrs. Vesper; Humanities. Then, we all have different 3rd periods, 9:40-10:40. Me & Blaze will go to Journeys, with Ms. Heralds. Rose & Shadow will go to Orchestra, with Mrs. Destrias. Sonic & Silver will go to that extra special advanced math class, with Mr. Joneson. Then we have 4th period together, 10:50-11:50. 4th period changes every Tri, so in 1st Tri, we all go to Weaponry with Mr. Chin. 2nd Tri, P.E. with Mrs. Hill. 3rd Tri, Modern Technology with Mrs. Covenant. After 4th period, we all go to lunch, 11:50-12:50. 5th period is just a 30 minutes, 1:00-1:30. It's a period of, like, free reading. That teacher is Mrs. Covenant. 6th period is a Math, 1:40-2:40. The teacher's name is Mr. Sindrea. 7th period is Science, 2:50-3:50, with Ms. Relliah," Amy finished & looked up to see Shadow reading a book with Rose. "Well?"

Rose answered absentmindedly," That was nice. Thanks." Amy's answered was an exasperated groan.

"Well," Sonic said sarcastically," Bed time!"

"Sure, whatever," Shadow answered casually as he got up from the couch & headed upstairs. Everyone filed up after him, but Sonic said to Silver in amazement," Did Shadow just agree with me!?!"

Silver's answer was a shrug.
