Sonic Skool Dayz

Part I

Chapter 2

Shadow got out of bed on Tuesday morning. His alarm didn't go off, but the screams from the weirdos next-door had kept him up since five in the morning. Shadow got dressed and ate his toast.

When Shadow left the house, Sonic wasn't there. Shadow checked his phone. He had one new message.

Hey Shadow. Don't forget I'm doing that school running competition so I have to leave early for school.

Oh great, Shadow thought. That info would have been a lot more helpful yesterday.

Shadow walked along the road and heard someone in the distance shouting at him. He turned around and saw Amy running towards him.

"Gosh you walk fast!" Amy panted, out of breath.

"Yeah. . ." Shadow said.

"Where's Sonic?" Amy asked.

"Running competition." Shadow sighed.

"Oh. Well, he is the worlds fastest hedgehog." Amy shrugged.

"Yeah, but there's a badger who could give him a run for his money." Shadow laughed.

Amy laughed too, even though there was nothing funny.

"Do you know any good places to hang?" Amy asked.

"The mall, if you're into that kind of stuff, but I don't really go there, not my thing."

"I wouldn't expect it to be." Amy smiled.

Rouge and Wave sat on the school roof. They were just by the running track where the competition was taking place. They were having lots of fun, throwing stones and if they were lucky, rocks, at the competitors. It was especially funny when they hit someone while they were running.

"Hey, try and hit that guy!" Wave said.

"No!" Rouge said throwing a stone at Wave.

Amy sat at the same table she did on Monday. Cream and Tails joined her.

"Hey." Cream said. "Sorry about leaving you yesterday, but we have to go to our clubs."

"You're welcome to join us. Today we have science club!" Tails said.

"I'm OK, I think I'll wait until I know a few more people before I join any clubs." Amy said.

"Uh oh! Tails, we have to go." Cream said, looking at her watch.

"You sure you'll be OK?" Tails asked.

Amy nodded.

Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles sat with Amy again.

"Hi." Amy said. "How was the running competition."

"It was OK. I'm pretty sure I won, but there was a pretty fast badger."

"Is the badger thing a running joke or are you guys serious?" Amy asked.

"A bit of both really." Knuckles shrugged.

"Oh." Amy said, getting up to put away her tray.

Later on, just before the end of lunch, Amy saw Tails and Cream. "How was science club?"

"It was fine until Cream blew up the lab." Tails shrugged.

Cream showed Amy the top she was previously wearing, with one gaping hole in the middle.

"I had to wear my P.E top." Cream sighed.

"Bummer." Amy said.

"Yeah, and Dr Robotnik was pretty annoyed." Tails said, angrily. "Being Cream's science club partner, I've got detention too."

"I don't like Dr Robotnik. He never has a day when he doesn't give out a detention." Cream sighed. "It wasn't really my fault anyway. Harold bumped into me and then boom."

"Oh no! I have Dr Robotnik today!" Amy gulped.

"So do we, silly, except everyone in the class will be doing a fun practical while Tails and I will be clearing up." Cream said.

"Real bummer." Amy said.

"Oh, by the way, since you haven't met Robotnik yet, I should warn you, he will keep going on about how he'll one day rule the world, just nod and agree or face a detention." Tails warned.

Amy nodded, but then the bell rang, so the three of them headed back for registration.

"Welcome, class." Dr Robotnik said. He was very plump and had a funny moustache to make his bald head even more humorous.

"Good afternoon, Dr Robotnik." the class chorused.

"I'm sorry for the short notice lab change, one of your classmates has blown up lab three." Robotnik said, looking very obviously at Cream and Tails. "Today we will be doing quite an exciting practical. . ."

Amy was working with some random girl because Tails and Cream were wiping tables and putting away clean test tubes.

"Hey, what's your name anyway?" Amy asked.

"Blaze. Could you get a test tube please." Blaze said.

"I'm sorry, I'm new. I don't know where anything is." Amy said.

"Oh. OK, I'll get one then." Blaze said rushing off to the cupboard clearly marked,

Test tubes, boiling tubes and beakers. Please leave this cupboard tidy

"So, do you go to science club?" Amy asked.

"Nope." Blaze replied.

"Book club?"

"No."

"Any clubs?"

"No. This school is not very good when it comes to clubs and activities. The only thing this school does right is running club, and that only happened because of Sonic."

"Really?" Amy asked.

Blaze nodded. "Are you any good at chemistry?"

"Yeah, I suppose, why?" Amy answered.

"The Eggman is grading us on this, and unfortunately not individually." Blaze said.

"Who's-"

"Eggman? Oh, it's a nickname we came up with for Robotnik." Blaze replied.

"Oh. Good observation." Amy giggled as she looked at Robotnik's egg-like shape. "OK, what should I get now?"

"The hydrochloric acid." Blaze said.
