Chapter 2

I stepped inside the trashy mobile-home tossing my jacket in some random place, then chucking my sneakers to the hall. I pass by the discarded shoes and step inside my room, to find it a mess. Now I'm pissed.. "MANIC! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" The smaller, hyperactive green Hedgehog runs in, fearful of what I might do, "Y-yes, S-Sonic?" He stutters. I'll be honest, I LOVE scaring the living being from him, I hate him. Infact, I came close to killing him. The little bastard called mom.. Anyway, I glared into the hedgehog's eyes, "Why is my room a mess?" "One, it's our room, two, it's not as bad as it can be." "One, you still sleep in Mom's room, two, I don't give a damn, I SLEEP on that floor." I picked him up by the collar so I could look him in the eye, then drop him to his knees as he scurries to clean up his mess. When he's finished, I checked to see if the Wii was still plugged in. "Now out." I grab a Wii-mote, and The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess and point the remote at his face, he knows I'd hurt him. See, my brother thinks he can dish itn out, he just doesn't like the entree, if you catch my drift. This is going to be a GREAT day..

The Next Day at School

--

I went to school late, because I have modified days. I get Migranes, okay? So shut your pie hole.. Anyway, Fourth period teacher, who is technically MY first, and shall remain nameless, walks up to me and smiles, "Sonic? Could you do me a favor?" I try not to be a total ass to my teachers, so I turn, "Yeah, what's up?" "We have a new student, and he has the same modified schedule as you do. So I was wondering if you could show him around." I give a shrug, "Sure, where is the little prodogy?" She gestures toward the back of the classroom where a green hawk sits, working on some school work, "His name is Jet, he has excellent grades, and he's really a nice guy. I think you'll get along." Great, ANOTHER person somebody's tried to pair me with.. See, I've never been in any real relationships, and after my little..."incident" with Amy, and a few other girls, kinda left me.. ..Gay. Sure, laugh it up. See how funny it is when I shove a quill through your chest. Done laughing? Thought so. I could really talk about anything with this teacher, really, and she..somehow found out about my sexuallity..Anywho, she's been supportive of me. She's the only one, besides myself, who knows. Back to school, I stare right into my Language Arts teacher's eyes and glare, "What's the catch?" "No catch." She leans closer and whispers, "He's gay too." And leaves. I glance around, well, time to meet this.. "Jet" character. I leave my seat, checking with my teacher to make sure it's cool, and step toward the back end of the class, when I find Jet, I tap his shoulder, "Excuse me, are you Jet?" He turned in his seat, so he can see who's addressing him, "Yep, that'd be me." I saw his face and Oh..My..God.. He was HOT! I'd TOTALLY ask him out, but he's probably got swarms of girls surrounding him, so I'll lay off a bit. "Hey, I'm Sonic." I hold my hand out for him to shake it, he returns the gesture by taking my hand in his, and giving a light shake, "Nice to meet ya, Sonic. You already know MY name." He grins, "Yep, and I've been assighned to be your guide." I reply, recieving a nod, "Right. So we'll meet up at lunch, and you can give me a tour." I nod, "Yeah, what's your fifth period room number." "Uhh...lemme check." He fumbles with his binder and gets out a white paper, then hands it to me, "No way! We have the same classes!" The Hawk grins, "Well, looks like you can show me to all my classes." "Yeah. But you're on your own for lunch." "How come?" "I don't eat." "Why?" "Can you keep a secret?" "Sure." I look around, and get closer, "One, I have a reoccouring nightmare of School food making me sick." The Hawk stiffled a laugh, as to not get in trouble, "And two, I'm slowly commiting suicide." Jet remains silent, "Suicide?! Are you CRAZY?! We're only Thirteen, you have so much to live for!" I laugh at this, drawing attention from some students as the bell rings, I grab my bag from next to Jet's, how it got there is beyond me..then leave, Jet following me closely.

Lunch time(6th period), outside of the Library, Jet POV

--

I yawned as I looked around for Sonic, checking my watch, "He must have gotten tired of waiting for me." "Excuse me, do you need help?" I look to see a purple Chameleon, this must be Espio, the guy Sonic warned me about. "Yes, I'm looking for Sonic." This earned me a glare, "Oh, HIM. He's out by the track." He pointed to the other side of the school, I turned and saw a little bit of the track, then a blue streak. That would be him, "Thank..you..?" I turn to thank Espio, but he's already gone. So I ran toward the track, watching that slick, sweaty body running around the track, kicking up dust in his wake. I can feel my jeans get tighter just watching him..but I've seen MANY guys running..why him? Something about this feels so right though.. Maybe I'll find out soon enough. I chase after him, catching up as he stopped to drink some water, "So, they call you Sonic for a reason." He turns to catch my gaze, only inches from his face, I can see him change into a reddish color, I can feel mine getting warm as well, he takes a step back, then flashes a wink, "Yup!" Our conversation ends short when the bell rings, "C'mon, we got Science Class next!" He grabs my hand and zooms off, leaving me trailing behind.
