Before we start:

xXDarkAngelkittenXx: The mystery person is not so mysterious, and will be revealed in this chapter. If you think about it, the answer is pretty obvious: He is a friend of Sonic that is scared of Shadow and likes science. I'll leave you to think about it. As for Shadow being mad at the world and doesn't acknowledge Amys lack of friends, I got one thing to say: Hate consumes everything and replaces it with paranoia; been there, done that. Anyways, thanks for reading and reviewing.

Changing

Amys POW

I listened to Shadow as he quarrelled with the yellow fox, trying to learn as much about my new friend as possible. I mentally noted not to question Shadow about his past in the near future. A last statement was made by Shadow before he turned away from the fox, staring into space, presumably in deep thought. I used this opportunity to study his exterior look: Black quills with red stripes, crimson irises, a black leather jacket and midnight blue jeans.
"There must be something underneath this hard and emotionless exterior, something long forgotten. His past is probably tearing away at him, causing paranoia and hatred" I mentally concluded.

"Alright class, listen up!"

I turned my head to see an elderly human, probably in his fifties, had entered the room.

"I'm mister Maximillian, your science teacher. Let's not waste any time! Open your books at page eight and read section A1 about international research"

"Alright, I think it's time for recess now. I'll be right back; I just got to grab some papers from my office" Maximillian said before exiting the classroom.

"This period was excruciatingly long" I complained to no-one in particular.

"It was bearable" Shadow answered, not seeming to care much.

Blushing lightly from his somewhat rude comment, I turned away from him, arms crossed, with a simple, girly "hmph", earning a chuckle from Shadow.

"No need to be offended" he sarcastically reassured, a smirk firmly planted on his face.

I looked towards the door to see a blue hedgehog entering the classroom. I gasped, earning Shadows full attention.

"What's wrong?" he asked, a hint of worry in his voice. I nodded in the direction of the problem, his gaze following my nod. I looked at him: his expression changed; his smirk was gone, replaced with a frown. He looked down, trying to make himself as invisible as possible.

I looked towards Sonic to find him approaching us.

"Hey Tails, what are you doing, sitting next to this loser?" he asked.

"Um…eh…" he stuttered, unsure of what to answer.

"Keep him out of it. This is between me and you" Shadow said calmly.

"And you, pinky? Why are you helping this loser?" He asked me, completely ignoring Shadow.

"Keep her out of this. Is that clear?" Shadow threatened, defending me.

"And who said you get a say in things?" Sonic teased.

I put my hand on Shadows shoulder to stop him from getting off his seat and beating the ever-living crap out of Sonic. He glanced at me for a second, before nodding and lowering his shoulders.

"She is your saving angel too, now beat it Sonic" He said.

"I'll leave, but you haven't seen the last of me. That goes for you too pinky" Sonic finished before leaving.

"What a fucking jackoff" Shadow grumbled to himself.

"Recess is over class! Back to work!" I heard the teacher shout. I sighed as I opened my book and started working with the assigned tasks.

"Time's up! Don't forget to do your homework before the next period" Maximillian said before exiting the classroom.

"Well… looks like we'll be splitting up now…" I said sadly whilst packing my stuff together.

"It would seem so. I'll be in the library if you need me" he said before leaving me.

Shadows POW

As I walked down the empty corridors, all alone and at peace, I thought about Amy: Who are you? What is your true intensions? Why would you just "save" me without even thinking twice?

I let out a sigh of frustration.

"Why do you haunt my mind?" I thought as I entered the library. I looked around, pleased to see that I was the only one present. I walked over towards the "science and research" part of the library, hoping to find something that was at least somewhat interesting. As I browsed through the countless books, one title caught my attention: "Project "Shadow"".

"Hmm… interesting" I thought as I picked it down from the shelves and put it in my backpack.

"I'll read it later. I really need to get that homework done" I said to myself.

As I sat down, I heard something crash into the wall from the room next to the library, followed by some inaudible shouting. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check out what was happening. I headed into the hallway, only to be tackled to the ground...

And that's another chapter done.

What do you think? Let me know. I wasn't too pleased by the way this chapter turned out, but maybe you will like it anyways.

Read and Review!
