As Cody ran off, someone else walked up.
Sonic just put a hand on his face as a teacher addressed him.
"This way please, 'Sonic'," he said, motioning for Sonic to follow him.
Sonic sighed as he followed the teacher, using all of his willpower to keep from talking and making faces at the teacher behind the guy's back.
The teacher led him to an office. In the office was an older man, who was seated behind a desk with "Principal" on a plaque nailed to the front of the desk.
"Please sit," the older man said as the teacher left the room.
Sonic, feeling rebellious, not only sat, but slumped in the chair with one arm over the back. "Yes?" Sonic asked.
"I had the fortune to see what happened in the school yard today," the principal explained.
"So?"
The principal looked him straight in the eyes. Sonic did not flinch or look away. He knew this game.
"I would have to ask you to repress yourself from further similar activities," he said.
Sonic just rolled his eyes. "Sir, if I might help the subject, add that 1: I do not go to this school and therefore can not have the rules here apply to me, and 2: They were killing that kid! The teachers were just lounging around and not even noticing a kid call out for help! If you wanna bite somebody, bite them, but I'd like to keep my head to myself, thank you."
The principal nodded. "What school do you go to?"
Sonic thought fast to make something up. "Freedom Knox," he said, not even flinching or changing his face from the bored expression he currently wore.
"I've never heard of that school," the principal replied, looking curious.
"I'm from out of town," Sonic replied.
"I guessed as much," the principal replied again, this time with a quiet voice. He seemed to be thinking.
"I'm finished with it, though," Sonic said, deciding to make himself look good, "'cuz they said I was too smart for any of the classes."
The principal nodded. "How old are you?" he asked.
"16," Sonic replied, looking thoroughly bored.
"What kind of school is 'Freedom Knox'?" the principal asked.
"College," Sonic yawned.
Once again, the principal nodded. Sonic couldn't help but notice that this principal did that a lot.
"Are you employed?"
"No."
"Then welcome to your new job."
Sonic just put a hand on his face as a teacher addressed him.
"This way please, 'Sonic'," he said, motioning for Sonic to follow him.
