High school obsession
Chapter three
Shadow was somewhat relieved when the weekend had finally arrived and he could at least leave the school's campus until eleven, another opportunity he always used to get away from everything and everyone around him.
Getting changed into a pair of black jeans and a black shirt, he picked up his room key and left the dorm.
"Shadow…" a gentle voice called and he turned around. It was Rouge.
"hey, rouge," he greeted plainly, "what's up?"
"I need to talk to you, in private if you will," she spoke and Shadow opened the dorm's door again. She walked in, Shadow soon following, and he closed the door.
"What?" he asked crossing his arms.
"is it true, did you and Sonic sneak into the bathhouse? Together?" she questioned him, "someone saw it and texted it to me."
"yeah I did," he answered truthfully, "does it bother you that I did?"
She frowned, "I know I'm only a 'cover up' so maybe the rumors would die down, but you're arousing more suspicion sneaking it a bath with another guy."
Shadow didn't responded and he opened the door, ready to leave, "you're a fake girlfriend, no body knows that. Keep your role up. Remember the only reason why you're in the student council is because of me," he said rudely before leaving Rouge in a dumbfounded shock mixed with hurt.

Sonic sighed loudly as he laid in his bed, still not dressed in a decent set of cloths. His mind continued to wonder to the bathhouse and the entire incident. Like, what would've happened if he had never reacted and pulled away.
'No! pulling away is what he wanted me to do. Any other student would've just willing went and returned the fuckin' kiss and, possibly, do more. But now he's interesting in me!'
He groaned and buried his face into his pillow, 'oh god, why me?!'
There was a sudden knock on the door and he sat up somewhat, just enough to reveal his face from the pillow so he could hear who was at the other side of the door, "yeah? Who is it?!" he called. A part of him hoping it wasn't Shadow yet at the same time he wanted it to, it was just a feeling that formed in him, yet he pushed it away quickly.
"It's Rouge, I'm a member of the student council. I believe we met for a brief second in the hallway," she spoke through the door in a determined, suspicious tone.
He gave off a light snarl of annoyance and stood from the bed. Still filled with irritation, he unlocked and opened the door, "did I do something wrong, Rouge?' was the first question he had asked the bat girl while trying to stay relaxed.
Yeah, he had done something wrong, he snuck into the bathhouse with shadow. Yet he somehow doubt that was the reason why she was standing just outside of his dorm right now.
"it's about Shadow," she finally stated and Sonic felt his heart skip a beat.
"W…what?" he questioned as his voice now begun to fail him. So much for staying relaxed.
She looked at him harshly, "just what were you two doing together in the bathhouse anyway?"
He gasped as his eyes widened. How could he answer this? How did she even know?
"Rouge…nothing happened, he tried to pull some moves on me," he answered as truthfully as he could, but he wondered if she was even buying it. It didn't sound very likely…or did it?
"I see…" she spoke. Not the response he was expecting. Did that mean she believed him?
"Why? What's going on?"
She walked into the dorm and sighed, "out of all the students in the school and he chose you? I'm Shadow's 'girlfriend' but it's only a cover up."
Sonic raised an eyebrow, "cover up? For what?"
She sat on the bed, "I don't know. Nobody knows anything about him and yet everyone loves him. Every week he's with someone new. Sometimes the relationships last a decent amount of time, but not always. The longest he was in was a six months, but the student dropped out for reasons unknown."
"Why don't they ever last?"
She shrugged, "Shadow gets bored easily," she inquired.
"the rumors, are any of them true?"
"Rather or not if he was adopted? If he's gay or bi? Shadow's gay, Sonic. He hardly ever has a real, meaningful relationship with a girl. It's always with guys. Is he virgin? No, he's not. Has he had a relationship with a ninth grader? Yes. But that's all I know about him. Why he has chosen you, I don't know."
L-x-x-x-x-x-x-W
After Rouge left, sonic changed out of his pajamas and into some real cloths such as blue shirt and blue jeans, then, he left the dorm to roam the campus.
This was actually the first time he's completely explore the campus. Hopefully, he wouldn't get lost. He still felt a little uncertain.
'I was chosen by Shadow? I wonder why,' he thought to himself as he continued to walk mindlessly. Completely unaware of where he was even going.
"Hey, sonic!" a voice called, Knuckles's voice.
Sonic snapped back into reality and smiled at Knuckles, "hey, Knux!" he realized a girl beside him and cocked an eyebrow, "who's this?"
Knuckles chuckled and grabbed the girl by her shoulders, "this would be my girlfriend, Julie-Su!" he was really excited to introduce his girlfriend to his new found friend.
"Nice to meet you, Julie-Su, I'm…"
"Sonic!" she answered before him and he flinched, "Knuckles told me about you. I hope his temper hasn't been to much of an issue," she glared at Knuckles with a grin.
Sonic waved his hands back and forth, "no! not at all! He's been fine!"
Knuckles chuckled, "see, Julie, told you I can keep my cool in school."
Julie-Su rolled her eyes and she tapped his shoulders a few times, "yeah yeah, now lets go before we're late."
The echidna nodded and waved to Sonic, "bye, Sonic. I'll see you later."
Sonic gave off a small wave, "yeah, bye," he responded as those two walked away.
L-x-x-x-x-x-W
Instead on leaving the campus, which was Shadow's first plan, he headed straight to the school's student record office building.
The record room was only ten minutes away from the school itself and twenty five minutes away from the dorms. Anywhere else it all just depended on how fast you were moving.
When Shadow arrived at the record rooms, he opened the door and walked.
'Where could his file be,' he thought as he headed towards the 'S' sections.
Quickly, he opened the drawers until he found his own file. Sighing, he took it out and opened his backpack. It was forbidden to take anything from this room, but he was doing it anyway. He slipped the file into his pack, then, continued to search for Sonic's.
A few minutes later he found it and a smile inched across his lips. When he pulled it out and he opened it, he gasped lightly.
L-x-x-x-x-x-x-W
Around lunch time, the school's doors opened ready to serve, and Sonic decided to take advantage of it. It wasn't that often he ate lunch, half the time he was to involved in his studies to eat.
When he had arrived at the cafe, the food had already been prepared. Unlike public school's, which consists of very greasy pizza and burgers, this school had cute desserts, fancy-made meals, and served hot tea in the afternoon.
This was only Sonic's second time he actually ate in the cafeteria. Other times he just prepare a bento and ate it in the private gardens so he could be left alone. It was was only recently he had discovered that Shadow, too, ate there. So now, ever since the bathhouse incident, he'd tried to avoid him in every way. But Shadow was persistent.
'Guess it's another way he's so damn popular amongst all grades. That and he' so...' Sonic shook his head violently, 'don't start thinking of things like that!'
Sonic took his food out to the garden and mainly looked up at the sky rather then eating, 'Shadow...' he thought without realizing and when he did realize he couldn't help but think what the fuck was wrong with. He felt like a love sick puppy!
He heard footsteps and his ears twitched.
Right in front of him was Shadow!
"Shadow..." he could see in Shadow's hands was a record of some sort, but that didn't explain of who or what, "ehh...what's that?'
He chuckled and opened the file. quickly, he pulled out a piece of paper and held it directly in front of Sonic's emerald eyes, "want to explain this?"
"Explain...what in the world do you..."
"Want to explain why you were kicked out of your last school?!"
To be continued...
Hope this chapter was long enough for you guys. It actually took me a total of two days since i typed it last night before going to bed and once again as soon as i came home from school, so yeah, it took a great amount of time. Not only that but i wanted to make it so that Shadow and Sonic's relationship is brought closer together and i don't think what he read in the file is going to be it hehe. but i do have a lot of plans for this out of nowhere-inspired by an anime-fanfic but that'll all be released bit by bit chapter by chapter. As for Shadow's past? Sonic's past? guess you'll find out next week.
Next chapter posting: 11/19/08
love,
