Shadow was heading to his next class, Gym. And he wasn't the only one, that navy blue cat he sat behind was heading to gym as well. As he followed the cat some one came up next o him and got him in a headlock.

" Hey " a voice called out startling the black hedgehog hog, it was Sonic " you're new here, I'm Sonic" he introduced himself.

" Are you always this irrtating?" Shadow asked making Sonic back away .

"No It just my personality, come on I'll introduce you to my friends" he pushed Shadow along towards the locker rooms.

...

Shadow nose curled once entering the locker room, b.o, hot water and cologne , Sonic lead Shadow over his two friends who was Silver the hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna.

Shadow recognized Knuckles and remember the photo that Alesha had " Your Knuckles correct?" the hedgehog asked.

" Uh yeah " the echidna replied " how do you know me?".

"I...I got something to tell you" Shadow responded, not only did he get Knuckles attention but he also got the attention of Silver and Sonic.

" What is it?" Knuckles asked.

" It's about your girlfriend Rouge" he responded. this made Knuckles slam his locker, he narrowed his eyes at Shadow.

" What about her?" he asked in a serious tone . Shadow felt a little intimidated by Knuckles by the power he demonstrated, The hedgeohg was feeling claustrophobic since Silver and Sonic were blocking his way , all three stood with their arms cross and looking very serious.

Shadow sighed he had to relax and tell the echidna what he was told about Rouge " she..." he started to speak " she's not the girl you think she is...She sells herself for sex... Sorry man".

Knuckles backed away, he leaned his head against the locker for support incase he was going to fall.

" I..I see" He said, His shocked expression suddenly turned from a frown into a smiled, then he started to crack up.

Sonic and Silver were starting to chuckle as well. Shadow was confused what was so funny?.


What could be so funny? Does Knuckles believe Shadow?
