"You're finally awake! Don't worry I bought some for you too," Shadow said in a friendly voice.
"That's sweet. Thank you," Sonic said generously. Shadow got out of bed, and walked to the pancakes. He picked them up, and brought them to Sonic. He was only in boxer briefs. Sonic stared at his package. Sonic grabbed the plate, and put it on his lap. He looked over to his alarm, and it was 6 A.M. Their classes didn't start ti'll 8 A.M., so they had a lot of time to spare. Sonic began eating his pancakes, they were chocolate chip. He dug in. "Did you make these?" Sonic asked.
"No, I bought them," Shadow said laughing.
"You're a lot different than yesterday…"
"I'm just trying to be optimistic," Shadow replied. Sonic looked at him, then he went back to eating. Shadow got out of bed; he began to get dressed. He put on the school uniform. "How does it look?" Shadow asked.
"You look great!" Sonic said blushing. Shadow went into the bathroom. He started to brush his teeth, and fix his hair. Sonic walked into the bathroom after him; it was kind of crammed in there with both of them in it. He brushed his teeth, and walked out into the room. "Damn, it's only 7!" He thought to himself. "So, Shadow? Want me to show you around campus?" Sonic asked.
"Sure, Sonic," Shadow said. They both walked out of the room. Sonic grabbed his schedule.
"First period: Art III? Off to the art room. It's room number 340," Sonic and Shadow walked to the hall where the room was. "Here's your first class! You draw well?" Sonic asked.
"Yes," Shadow replied.
"You'll have to show me some of your pictures sometime," Sonic said smiling. Shadow blushed. "Next class is English III, the room number is 230. Let's go!" Sonic and Shadow walked to the room. "This class is my first period," Sonic said. "I love english class."
"I'm not much of a fan," Shadow said.
"If you ever need help, I'll tutor you. Anyway, your next class is P.E., and it looks like we have it together!" Sonic brought Shadow to the P.E. hall. It was long and dim. "P.E. isn't my favorite class," Sonic admitted.
"Mine either, don't worry. I'm just happy I'll know someone in there," Shadow said with a smile.
"Your last class for the fall semester is Chemistry! The room number is 504, it's upstairs," Sonic grabbed Shadow's handed and they ran upstairs to the room. Sonic checked his watch. It was 7:30. "We have 30 minutes ti'll our classes start. What do you want to do?" Sonic asked.
"Let's just walk around the campus," Shadow replied. Sonic and Shadow walked into the sitting area. It was full of flowers, trees, and bushes. The breeze blew on them. "I hope today is a good day," Shadow said.
"Just be positive. I like this you better than the one from yesterday," Sonic said. Tails walked over.
"Hey Sonic!" he said in a friendly voice. "Ready for class today?" Tails asked.
"I sure am! Oh, and this is my friend Shadow. He's my roommate," Sonic replied.
"Oh, hello Shadow!" He extended his hand, and Shadow shook it. "Can I see your schedule? I'm curious if we have any classes together!" Tails asked. Shadow handed him the schedule. "We have art together! The bell is about to ring, and I like getting there early. So, catch you guys later. See you in class, Shadow!" Tails handed him back his schedule and ran to class.
"It's 7:50, we should start heading to class," Sonic suggested. "I'll see you later!" Sonic walked off to his class.
"Bye Sonic!" Shadow shouted while waving. He decided to walk to his class slowly. He watched the people walk by him. He got to class, it was full of unfamiliar faces. He saw Tails with an empty seat next to him. He walked to it and sat down.
"Hey Shadow!" Tails said.
"Hey Tails," Shadow said back to him. The bell rang, and the class began. The teacher came in. She was tall and had dark brown hair. Her hair was in a bun, and she was wearing all black.
"Welcome to art III, students! I'm Ms. Suzuki," She shouted. She rambled on about art, and what she expects from her students. She also talked about their future projects. "You'll begin drawing tomorrow," The bell rang, and Shadow walked to his English class. His teacher had short blonde hair, he was tan. Shadow saw his dark blue eyes; he was indeed a beautiful man. "Hello, class," he said in a deep voice. "I'm Mr. Kobayashi, can each of you at a time stand up and tell me your name?" he asked. One at a time a student stood up and said their name. It got to Shadow. Shadow stood up, and said "Hello, I'm Shadow," then he sat back down. He gave all of them a syllabus of what they will need for the year, and his expectations of them.
The bell rang; all of the students ran out of the room. Shadow slowly walked out. His pencil fell out of his pocket. He didn't notice though. He walked to P.E., he was ready to see Sonic. He walked in, and everyone sat on the bleachers in the gym. He saw Sonic sitting with a group of people. He didn't know if he should go sit with him. So, he decided to sit at the bottom.
"Hey Shadow, come up here!" Sonic shouted at him. Shadow stood up, and walked over. He sat next to Sonic.
"Hey guys! This is my friend Shadow!"
"Hi!" Shadow greeted them. They all were friendly to him. Shadow felt accepted. The teacher didn't talk much, his name was Mr. Kudo. He seemed like a quiet man to be teaching a P.E. class. The bell rang, and Shadow said goodbye to Sonic and his friends. He walked upstairs to Chemistry. He enjoyed science, so he was looking forward to this class. He sat in a desk with his name on it. The teacher walked in. He looked strange. He had a mean look to him. "Hello, delinquents," he said in a stern voice. "I am Mr. Tanaka. Welcome to your worst class of this semester," Shadow was intimidated. He gave them, like all of Shadow's other teachers did, a talk about their expectations and such. The bell rang. Shadow walked to his dorm. He walked in, and saw Sonic lying down in bed.
"You're tired?" Shadow asked.
"The first day is always tiring, Shadow," Sonic answered him. Shadow sat next to him.
"I'm tired too,"
"Did you like your classes?" Sonic asked Shadow.
"They were alright," Shadow answered. "I'm just glad to be coming back here. Want to go get something to eat?"
"Sure!" Sonic replied. Shadow got undressed. "You're going to do that in front of me?!"
"Of course, I have no shame in my body," Shadow answer. He put on shorts, and a V-neck shirt. Sonic began to get undressed too. He put on pants, a shirt, and a jacket. They walked together to the restaurant.
"His body is so nice, I'd love to get my hands on it," Sonic thought to himself. They ate ti'll their stomachs couldn't take anymore. Sonic payed the bill, and they walked home. Sonic was walking behind Shadow. He never realized ti'll it was too late, but his shoe was untied. He tripped over it, and fell on top of Shadow. They were both blushing. "I'm so sorry!" Sonic screamed. He couldn't help but get a little hard.
"It's okay, Sonic," Shadow reassured him. Sonic got off of him, and got up. He grabbed Shadow's hand and helped him up. When they got to their dorm Sonic saw that Shadow's knee was bleeding.
"Shadow! Your knee!"
"It's nothing," Shadow said sitting on his bed. Sonic got a band aid, and put it on his knee. Then he kissed over the wound. "It feels better now," Shadow said smiling.
"Good!" Sonic said. Sonic got undressed, and put on his pajamas. Shadow did the same. They both got into their beds. "Goodnight, Shadow. Sweet dreams."
"Goodnight, Sonic. I hope you sleep well."
Sonic woke up the next morning, he felt another presence in his bed. He felt arms around him. He opened his eyes, and saw Shadow clung onto his body. He was holding onto him tight. "Shadow?"
