Chapter 2 - Right Now
Shadow the Hedgehog's Side of the Story

I hate it… It's too hot… I'm lending on a tree far way from the school place, hope to get away from this place soon. The bell ranged. I see Rouge and Manic coming up to me.
"I should have known you'd be here!" Rouge said with a smile on her face. Rouge goes up to hug me. "I missed you! Boyfriend!"
"I'm not your boyfriend…" I said in a mad tone.
"Yes you are!" Rouge yelled.
"When did I say I would be -"
"Last week." Rouge said. I said nothing back to that answer. "Do you remember someone said we have to act like this, so we can get you know who."
"Who?" Manic asked.
"Uh… My… My ex-boyfriend." Rouge said.
"Why?"
"Because he made me look like a fool in front of everyone last year."
"Hmm…" Manic said. "What happ-" Manic was going to say something, but Rouge interrupted him.
"Oh by the way, here you go Manic." Rouge gave Manic a paper with some numbers on it.
"Why did you give this to me?" Manic asked, looking at the piece of paper.
"I thought you like to have Amy's number so you can call her all you like, and you can tell her that you like her!" Manic started to blush. I looked away thinking this is stupid, and then I closed my eyes.
"I thought you were going to used it…" He said.
"Being a spy, you can have all the people's numbers you want."
"Wait you already had Amy's phone number?" I opened my eyes. I think I heard that named before… I can't remember who…
"Yes, I do."
"Who's Amy?" I asked. Manic's ears perked up by hearing the sound of my voice.
"I thought you already met her before, Shadow…" He said.
"I did?" I don't remember if I had met Amy before…
"When?"
"On space thing…"
"What?"
"You know the time when you and Sonic saved everyone… Your friend Mar-" Rouge's hand covered Manic's mouth then she said.
"Mar… Marine world is the best place to be at!" I looked at her weirdly, then looked way from her to the tree.
"Why did you do that, Rouge?" Manic asked.
"Shut up." Rouge's voice sounded unhappy. She hit Manic on the head. Then she looked at me and said, "Sorry about that…" I looked back at them thinking I should get out of here.
"You know what, I'm getting out of here today. See ya." I started to walk away from them.
"Can you just wait until school is out?" Rouge said.
"No…"
"Shadow!" Rouge yelled. But I keep walking.
After I lost sight of her. I looked round, then I saw a pink hedgehog looking at me though the window. She grasped as I walk right by her class room. I stopped.
I wanted to know why she keeps looking at me like that, but she turn around. I guess she saw something else and I thought she was looking at me. I sighed and kept on walking.

...

Walking home isn't bad. It's just the room mates I'm leaving with. I finally made it to my room, then to the coach. "AH!" I hear someone yelling. I groaned as I got up and walk down the hallway.
"Yes Eggman?" I asked.
"Oh Shadow I'm glad you're here, how was your first day of school?" Eggman said as I walked in the room.
"Eggman, don't get off the objected." I went to Eggman, the room was metal and glowing lights. As I looked at Eggman. He stop fixing the robot and looked at me.
"Oh-oh-oh, Yes well, I wanted you to find out if Sonic or someone you know are Sonic's friends were at this school of yours."
"Well, there is a guy named Manic. Whom I think is Sonic's brother." I said as I looked over at the other robots.
"Eh-eh-eh, that's good, anyone else?" Eggman asked. Sometimes I don't know why I was given this job. As I looked back at Eggman and trying to remember what Rouge said.
"Hmm… There is a girl named Amy. I don't know her." Eggman's eyes went huge at me.
"Amy… Like Amy Rose?" Eggman said.
"I don't know if Rose is her last name, but Rouge was giving Manic, Amy's phone number."
"Uh… Ready… Tomorrow at school, I want you to find out about this girl named Amy, and if she has the last name of Rose. Try to be friends with her, and I will take over the WORLD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -HAHAHHAHHA!" Eggman yelled. As I started to think of this plan…
"Uh Doctor. I don't think that will work." I said.
"Why not?"
"Well you see, you want me to be friends with this girl plus I don't know her for anything, and that's how you will take over the world? Where do you get this, take over the world, from being friends?"
"… Well it's easy, I get ready for you to bring her to me. I go on TV and tell Sonic that I have Amy with me. I talk about what I'm going to do with Amy if he doesn't come, and knowing him, he will come. I want you to be ready to fight him, then if you win.
I will let Amy go, and you can do whatever you want with her. But if you lose, I have another way to get Sonic to die. I will drown him in water, and I will have Amy on the other side of the water. If somehow Sonic was smart, and we all know he isn't. There will be blocks on the water to let him get to Amy and he will save the day again, thanks to Sonic The Hedgehog!" said Eggman. I felt like my mouth was going to drop to the floor.
"Doctor, that's the stupidest idea ever." I said.
"Why is that?"
"Blocks on the water. Where in the world do you get blocks? If you knew he was going to use them, then why put them in there?"
"Shut up, I'm the mad genius here!" he said.
"Your mad, but not a genius."
"I have the IQ of over 300!"
"I bet they lied to you, when you were little!" I yelled.
"No they didn't."
"Yes, they did." I said.
"Just shut up, and go get me some cookies!" he ask.
"Why cookies?"
"Because I'm hungry from this argument!"
"Ok…" Why did he just send his robot friend to do this job. I went to in the kitchen. The kitchen was painted red and black like my room. I saw shortbread cookies. I picked them up and went to Eggman. "Here," I said as I gave him the cookies.
"I DIDN'T ASK FOR SHORTBREAD, I ASKED FOR PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!" he yelled.
"You didn't ask for what kind!" As I tried to remember what he said to me some minutes ago.
"Yes, I did!"
"You know what, I'm leaving!" I yelled as I was walking out of the room.
"Don't forget the PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!"
"Shut up!" I said. I slammed the door as hard as I can. I walked to my room. As I shut the door, I heard a movement in the room.
"Hello Shadow." the voice said as I turn around to see the person on my black sofa.
"Good - Evening, Silver The Hedgehog." I said.
