Shadow's Declassified School Survival Guide
Chapter 8- Detention
Author's Note: Hi guys, I have returned after a long hiatus. I'm probably much worse than Dr. Dre and his "Detox" album release promises. Anyways, any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me.
Added, finding Ned's Declassified Episodes online has been tough but I found some and I shall hurry up in writing them before YouTube and other sites take them down (damn you copyrights…)
On with the story!
It was a quiet day in Mobius Elementary School, and Shadow walks down the hall minding his own business to meet Knuckles, Julie-Su and Amy, since Knuckles has something to show them.
"So, tell me what you think?" Knuckles said, showing off what looks like a normal paper airplane.
"It looks like an insignificant paper airplane Knuckles" Shadow replies dully as he shakes his head, only for Knuckles to then defend himself saying,
"It is not just ANY paper airplane, Shadow. Correction, it is THE paper airplane. I designed this bad boy all by myself! The slightest breeze will take it to flight"
Amy, Julie-Su and Shadow look back at each other to only raise their eyebrows and question their gullible friend.
"Um Knuckles, we care about you but—" Shadow cuts Amy off and says "I don't really care, heh."
Amy rolls her eyes and Julie-Su continues "Whatever. As I was saying, WE care about you but you got way too much time on your hands."
As Knuckles looks at his creation admiringly, Professor Sweeny T walks by and turns back as he retracts his visual on Knuckle's paper airplane.
"HEY! You better not throw that! You don't think you can sneak a dangerous projectile past me, do you?"
And as the professor states his threat, Scourge, Manic, Tazmania and a few guys walk behind Professor Sweeny with two missiles. This does not go unnoticed by Shadow, who just shakes his head and grumbles to himself.
"Now, HAND IT OVER!" shouted the professor, and before Knuckles did anything, Scourge slams his locker, to let out a breeze, causing the plane to fly out of Knuckles' hands, angering the teacher.
"THAT'S IT, DETENTION FOR YOU MR. ECHINDA!"
Angry and annoyed, he replies "WHAT? I didn't even do anything. It wasn't even ME!" and retracts to his friends, "Did you see that bad boy fly?" and returns to his argument "DETENTION! NO WAY! Only Mobius crooks go to detention!"
"Sure you are… see you in detention at 3:20 Mr. Echidna." Replied the professor and walks away from the group, but before going any further, Shadow sighs and goes to his friend's defense.
"This is ridiculous, he did not throw that paper airplane Professor. The wind came by, it was an accident."
This didn't lessen Knuckles' punishment.
20 Minutes Later…
Amy, Julie-Su, Shadow and Knuckles look at one another and are disappointed.
"Detention? Seriously?" Julie-Su exclaims as Shadow broods in disappointment only for it to turn into annoyance as Scourge force bumps Shadow out of the way, shouting and snarking "Knock knock!" and laughs along with Taz and Manic.
Knuckles gullibly replies "Who's there?" and Scourge takes it to offense, replying "Are you trying to be FUNNY!" and Knuckles looks on silently and replies "Uhh… no?"
Amy then breaks the conversation, "We got detention. So my question is… what is it like in there?" Scourge is then taken aback by Amy's reply, as Manic stands behind Scourge and Scourge looks at Amy wide-eyed.
"It's a bad place, Amy Rose. A very bad place…"
Shadow rolls his eyes and dully asks "Why?"
Scourge looks to Shadow and replies, "One word. Eighth. Graders."
Noise is then heard down the hall and a group of male hedgehogs and Echidnas are running down the hall wreaking havoc, shoving Julie Su into her locker after knocking her books out her hand, Knocking out Chaos and Coconut and kick dropping Tails.
Not too far from the havoc, Polly and Lily are at their lockers discussing the dance.
"So has Spark said anything to you yet, Polly?"
"About what?" she asked Lily as she applied lip-gloss at her locker. "I mean we had fun at the dance and I like him a lot, but it doesn't seem like he is taking into account that we like each other but something has to happen for anything to be."
As Polly and Lily close their locker doors, they run around to see eighth graders wreaking havoc in the halls and one of the eighth graders breaks Lily's skateboard and another sticks gum in Polly's quills, causing her to cry.
"MY. QUILLS!" she sobs and Lily then shouts to her "You worried about your hair? Those idiots broke my NEW skateboard!"
After the eighth graders walk past the girls, they spy Shadow and the gang along with Scourge and his gang and mean mug all of them, scaring Scourge, the guys and Amy. Shadow looks on with great observation and not even the slightest bit shaken.
Scourge then turns to Shadow, taunting him "Shadow's a dead hedgehog after today!" and then switches his demeanor; looking at Amy kindly and cooing "I hope things go well you for, Amy Rose."
As the bullies walk away, Amy rolls her eyes and puts her arm over Shadow's shoulders. "Scourge is probably just overexagerating… right?"
Shadow broods and replies, "Possibly, I mean how bad could detention be?"
As Shadow speaks his words, they see his brother, Chaos, walking down the hall, covered in white plaster, Amy gasps and squeals "Chaos! What in the world happened to you?"
"Detention." Coconut replies, quivering in fear. "So much plaster… nobody is safe… NOBODY!" Coconut shouts as he walks away scurrying off to his next class.
Shadow then finds himself feeling annoyed and angry "DETENTION OVER A STUPID PAPER AIRPLANE? THIS MUST BE A JOKE! JOKE! THAT PAPER AIRPLANE COULDN'T HURT A FLY!"
The bell rings… its lunch time.
Over at the Lunch Line, the mysterious lunch lady predicts students' futures as she pours cream of chicken into students' bowls.
Polly grabs her soup and she exclaims, "Don't worry, baby. He gon call you"
Polly smiles and takes her soup along with some rolls and a butter pad.
Lily follows and takes her soup "Girl don't you dare think about doing that!"
Shadow goes next and before receiving his soup, she tells Shadow "Boy you got detention?" Shadow looks dully at her and before taking his soup, Amy runs up and asks her, what do you see lunch lady?!" Shadow rolls his eyes, as he doesn't take her predictions seriously.
She shakes the soup and says "Desperation… and aviation."
Shadow snarls "So… what does that mean then? This makes no sense"
Lunch Lady replies "I don't know, boy! It's in the soup, now MOVE"
Shadow takes his soup and Amy goes up to get hers. Once Lunch is served, Shadow slouches in his chair looking at Julie-Su and Amy and noticing surrounding them is Spark, Razor, Chaos and Todd.
"So, word on the street is you guys got detention?" Todd asks Shadow as he munches down on his soup mixed with peas and butter. "You guys are okay?"
Shadow replies, "it is no big deal… but has anybody seen that idiot Knuckles?"
Amy replies "He's probably a big wreck right now."
Everybody laughs and they then hear a noise.
The cafeteria doors open and they see Knuckles in a hip-hop/street get up. Baggy hoodie, baggy pants fake bling to match.
"Sup homies, you're looking at the baddest echidna in this school. I fear nobody"
Julie Su walks by and pinches Knuckles and he quivers after her pinch.
"So much for being fearless" Shadow replies, smirking.
Over at another Lunch Table, Polly, Lily, Kappa, Shay, and Jillian discussing the dance as well as what happened that morning with the eighth graders and how bothered they felt,
"I seriously cannot be any more annoyed with them" exclaimed Shay as she eats her soup. Polly is still wiping her tears over the gum in her quills, "They ruined my HAIR. This so messes up my combo outfit of the day!" and Lily shakes her head and just grumbles on about her skateboard. She then decides to take her soup and fling it at an eighth grader. Enraged, she then throws her busted skateboard at them and is then confronted by Mr. Hancock.
"LILY! I am very disappointed in you! Throwing thing in the lunchroom?" he scowls as he holds her cup of soup and Scourge turns around and says "Did somebody say throw? FOOOOOOOOOD FIIIIIIGHT!"
"Oops… DETENTION FOR ALL OF YOU" he shouts pointing at Lily and Polly. Looking at the teacher flabbergasted, Polly shouts "WHY ME?!"
"Guilt of Association!" he shouts as he walks off and Polly screams as she rips off the gum from her quills…. "My quills, my QUILLS MAN!"
After lunch has ended, Amy is in her woodshop class and after class, Mr. Hacksaw decides to go see how Amy is doing, since he notices she was not in her usual cheery mood.
"What's going on, young Oak?"
Julie Su replies "We got detention"
Wide-eyed, Mr. Hacksaw replies "DETENTION? No need to panic, young oak! Here's what you need to do!"
Mr. Hacksaw speaks on and Shadow appears to hear in.
"First, you are to be strong like Oak, but mild, like Bamboo. Soon as you get in, confront the leader and face em down!"
"Okay!"
"Show no fear, for on the inside, only the strong survive. Remember it is better to be feared than to be loved."
Shadow smiles and says "I like this guy"
Amy rolls her eyes and said "So we must be strong like oak!"
"You must be strong, Julie Su is already Oak! He on the other hand, he's more like kindling to me."
Shadow rolls his eyes at his creative insult.
"My best advice for you? Stick close to the teacher and wear a helmet." Mr. Hacksaw concluded. Amy and Shadow leave and minutes after their departure, Knuckle's paper airplane flies through Mr. Hacksaw's classroom and it causes havoc, flying around the room, causing Mr. Hacksaw to get his arm entwined into a lathe, causing him to land into an ambulance once again.
3:10 has arrived and the school is empty. Shadow, Knuckles, Julie-Su and Amy are in the halls by themselves. They look at one another
"We're OAKS!" said Amy and Julie-Su in unison.
"I'm a thug! A real Thug!" mumbled Knuckles.
"-sigh- Whatever. Let's just go" sighed Shadow.
They enter the classroom to see Tazmania sitting in the front row along with Fiona, Rouge and Amber.
"Who's in charge here?" Julie Su asked so bluntly.
"Well…" Taz starts off, with his smart aleck.
Julie-Su Slams his desk, scaring him and Amy backs her up "WE'RE ASKING WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE! BECAUSE WHO EVER IT IS THEY'RE NOT ANYMORE! WE'RE OAKS! We rather be feared than loved!"
Before things went further, Mr. Hancock arrives into class with a sewing machine.
"So, who is ready for sewing club?"
Shadow snarls, "This is the sewing club?!"
"Peshaw! Yes this is the sewing club! That evil place is down the hall." the teacher replies, and Shadow looks back at Tazmania.
"Oh snap, this is the sewing club? I mean I thought this was detention!" Taz rushes out the classroom as Mr. Hancock shakes his head, exclaiming "There goes the best cross stitcher in this school"
The kids rush out and then finally enter detention. The room was grey and bleak and reminded them of prison movies.
Before finding seats, Coach Roman enters the room shouting "I need a victim… where's Coconut?"
Coconut was nowhere in sight. But she sights Julie-Su and Amy
"Ah, Ladies! You two will do. Double Time!"
Amy and Julie-Su whisper "We're Oaks…We're OAKS!" as they walk away and the door closes behind the boys.
Knuckles and Shadow walk over to find seats, with Knuckles approaching the bad kids.
Shadow finds his seat and sees Polly writing in her journal and Lily napping in the back. Shadow grumbles to get Polly's attention and asks "Why are you two here?"
"Lily decided to start a food fight after flipping out over her skateboard! She didn't listen to Lunch Lady! She even knew what Lily's thoughts were… she wanted revenge and she was told not to try and now look. DETENTION SHADOW!" and Polly starts to sob once more.
Shadow sighs bleakly and breaks out his guide.
Knuckles on the other hand approaches the eighth graders only for them to try and snatch his fake bling, ticking him off "Box it out!" he shouts and Shadow smiles evilly,
"Finally, some excitement!"
Before Shadow aims for the jump, Professor Sweeny T enters the room silencing everybody and orders Shadow and Knuckles to sit down.
20 Minutes Later…
Shadow and one of the eighth graders make constant threats, mouthing at one another that someone's butt will be whooped.
Polly looks at her phone, full battery but no messages. Lily looks over her friend and says "Stop looking at your phone, he's gonna take it from you!"
"Fine!" she replied and hides her head in her textbooks.
Professor Sweeny T then calls the class to his attention. "I got to make a call. NO NOISES ALLOWED"
Before he leaves, Shadow has a bright plan. He gets up and decides to distract the teacher.
"Professor, what is the meaning of Science?"
Feeling enlightened, Professor Sweeny T brags on about theories and definitions as Knuckles cracks his knuckles preparing to fight.
After a long 15 minute discussion, Shadow takes a seat and once the teacher turns his back, Shadow initiates the attack, causing the eighth graders to pounce on Shadow, causing the professor to turn back and announce "DETENTION! FOR STARTING A FIGHT! DETENTION IS OVER"
Shadow and Knuckles snicker, laughing about what happened and then realizing detention is over, they rush out the door and mouthed "Me, you, after class!"
They dash down the hall and then wonder, where are Amy and Julie-Su?
They then see down the hall Julie-Su and Amy covered in plaster.
"What the… are you okay?"
"Coach Roman had us clap erasers and clean the clay room in art class." Amy replied as Julie-Su coughed. "How was detention?"
"Decent" Shadow replied. "But I rather not go back… someone now is going to get their butt whooped today… excuse me laides, and Knuckles"
Shadow finds the eighth grader, only for the kid to run away.
"I was not finished with you!"
So the best tip I can give is, don't get detention.
Before the gang leave, Knuckles' paper airplane flies by them and they see it poke a cat in the eye and the cat scrapping a woman in the face as they react in disgust to what they've seen.
Next Up: Teacher!
Keep it Rad, Rasta
