The whole crowd erupted into cheers, including the classes still in
the building. Sonic stood up and bowed, several times, to soak in the glory
of the moment.
"And that's why they call me Sonic!" Sonic called out.
He was being massed by the hundreds of kids in the schoolyard, but he didn't mind. Showing off like this made him feel really good. He noticed Cody was right next to him, so he picked the kid up and put him on his shoulders. Cody felt like he was king of the world up there, and Sonic could understand why.
After the teachers recovered, they got the kids playing again, telling the kids that Serin/Sonic will visit all their rooms in turn, and then a teacher from the rooms that weren't in recess asked if Serin could visit them now.
Eventually it was agreed. Sonic walked inside, his head held high and his spirits even higher.
He was then cornered by one of the school coaches.
"Kid, I saw you running out there! You were amazing!" he gasped, for he had run quite a bit to catch up with Sonic.
"Yeah. Been that way since I was small," Sonic said.
"How would you like to join the Track and Field teams? Or the Cross Country team? Or do you like a different sport? Soccer, basketball? Am I getting close?"
"How about getting farther away!" Sonic grunted while trying the shove the coach out of his face.
And this was only one of the hardships he met while trying to navigate the halls. Several young boys, girls, and even teachers were asking him questions and begging him to do things. Eventually, he just ran to his first destination; Mr. Kipps 8th-grade class, team letter A of three.
He ran into the classroom and slammed the door shut behind him. Leaning against it heavily, he sighed in relief. No more clinging kids and rouge teachers in near crowded halls.
The entire class was staring at him. Suddenly realizing he had interrupted a class without knocking, he started feeling very, very stupid.
"Uh.hi," he said, chancing a small wave at the class.
A few of the girls giggled, and the class started talking among themselves. After a few commands to be quiet by the teacher, Sonic was beckoned to the front of the classroom.
The teacher, Mr. Kipps, than said, "Serin, the class will start asking you questions. Do you mind answering them?"
"Sure," Sonic said, his courage returning, "as long as it isn't too offensive."
A girl raised her hand. "Are you single?" she asked, and was replied with a fit of giggles from around the room.
Sonic smiled. "Actually, no, I'm not. And before you ask, her name is Sally."
The questions continued for quite a while, but eventually Sonic had to leave. He had three more days of this to live through before he got to all the classes.
Nobody, however, noticed the man following Sonic around with a clipboard, taking furious notes. He disappeared slightly before the End-of- School bell rang.
It was like he was never there.
