The Love Square
Chapter Eight
…..Two Months Later…
Knuckles' POV
God, I hate all of them, except for Taylor, I guess. I watched the four boys giggling together, sounding like a couple of schoolgirls. Even Shadow was giggling, who I have now lost all of my respect for; he took Taylor away from me. All of them fucking did. What did Taylor honestly see in any of them?
"Knuckles, you're crushing your sandwich." Espio pointed out to me. I looked at my hand, observing the way my lunch has now become a mess in my hands. I dropped it back on the plate.
"You're becoming more and more angry by the day." Espio teased, looking the 'foursome' sitting near us.
"Can you blame me?" I snapped at him. He shook his head, continuing to eat his lunch with that pathetic, smug look on his face.
"I wonder how they have sex? Do they take turns?" I growled to myself. It's disgusting. Two months since they've gotten together. Taylor doesn't hang around me as much now. Every time he says something, that blue bastard grabs him. One time, he even had the guts to wink at me. I want to kill him so bad.
After lunch, we went to next lesson. I saw Taylor talking to Sonic, as usual. I leaned against the wall and tried to listen in on the conversation.
"So, I was just wondering if you just wanted to do something together, just you and me." Sonic suggested. What was he up to? I can always sense that he's up to something, that's just the guy he is. Taylor nodded. Sonic looked over at me, I turned my head straight away.
"Hello, Knuckles, fancy seeing you standing so close to us." Sonic said, sarcastically. I stood up straight, glaring at Sonic. If only I could hit him.
"Can I not choose to lean against a wall?" I asked, returning the sarcasm. Sonic smirked.
"Well as long as you don't mind seeing this." He grabbed Taylor and started to kiss. Taylor returned the startled kiss in a record time. I walked off, trying to contain the anger filling me. I hate Sonic The Hedgehog so fucking much!
Taylor's POV
Sonic and I broke the kiss, the second Knuckles stormed off. I felt bad.
"Sonic, you don't have to be like that. It's obvious that it upsets him." I told off my boyfriend, well one of them. It's been weird these past few months, ever since I agreed, Knuckles has been avoiding me. I miss talking to him but I can see that talking to him makes Sonic jealous. Sonic smirked at what I said. What's so funny?
"He's only upset because he lost."
"What do you mean he lost? You didn't try to challenge him, did you?" Sonic gave a small wink and kissed me on the cheek.
"I'll let you figure it out." He whispered and walked into the classroom. I followed after him, confused at what he said. What is Sonic trying to say?
The class as usual was watching my every move. At the start I felt very paranoid, but now I don't give a fuck. I sat down next to Sonic, who was smirking ahead. I follow his gaze to Knuckles who was resting his head on the desk. I didn't understand why Knuckles was so depressed and angry recently. I wish I could just talk to him. I do have to admit, Sonic is being a complete asshole. I kicked Sonic's leg under the table. He jolted up in his seat in surprise and looked at me.
"What?" He whispered as the teacher continued lecturing.
"I'm asking you nicely. Can you please leave Knuckles alone? He's obviously upset about something." He raised an eyebrow at me, like I said something stupid.
"You think Knuckles is upset?"
"Yes, clearly."
"Excuse me, boys. Is there something you would like to share with the rest of the class?" The teacher asked us.
"Oh sir, you wouldn't want to hear it." Sonic teased. The teacher cleared his throat and turned back to the board. Some of the class giggled. For the rest of the lesson, Sonic was quiet. Thinking. For the past few days, Sonic has been a little strange. He's been quieter than usual and giving Shadow blank looks. They must have been fighting again. Or have they? I knew he wouldn't answer me, so after lesson, I went to find Shadow.
I found Shadow in one of the art rooms at lunch; he was starting to work on his final piece. He looked over at me and smiled. I leaned down and kissed him. It was strange but cool that we were 'going out' because before I thought he was an asshole. But now, he's being really nice to me.
"It's looking good." I commented, sitting beside him looking at the canvas that was filled with sketches.
"Thanks."
"Can I ask you something?" Shadow dropped his pencil and looked at me. "Have you and Sonic been fighting?" He frowned at me.
"No, why?"
"I don't know; he seems to be a bit off. Recently." He looked back at the canvas and sighed.
"I've noticed it too. Every time I ask him, he just smiles and walks away. I don't know what's getting to him. I'll talk to him tonight." I nodded and got up.
"Well, I'll leave you to it. See you back at the dorm." Shadow smirked at me. I knew what he was thinking.
After school I went back to the dorm and collapsed on the sofa. Silver walked out of his room and smiled at me.
"My mom just called." He held up his phone, "They've broken up and he's moved to Las Vegas." I opened my arms out to him and he hugged me.
"Congratulations, that fucker is gone."
"Thank you so much for giving me support." He kissed me.
"You're welcome."
Shadow's POV
I tried to catch Sonic before we both got into the dorm. I wanted things to be cleared with him, in private. I watched him practise his athletics on the track. He looked so good when he ran. I noticed Knuckles was practising shot putt on the field. He kept glancing at Sonic every now and then, glaring at him.
After half an hour, Sonic with the rest of the other athletes went into the changing room. I knew Sonic took forever in there so I waited nearby until everyone was gone. Ten minutes later, everyone had left which meant Sonic was the only one in there. I've done this several times; the boy was so careless with himself. I walked into the empty changing rooms. I heard a shower running in the shower room. I slowly tiptoed in.
I saw his blue figure in the showers. I looked around me was there anyone around? I started to take off my clothes. I haven't shared a shower with Sonic in ages. I slowly walked over to his shower stall I found the door was open. What an idiot. Anyone could come in here. I opened the door and watched as the water ran down his smooth back.
"I know it's you." Sonic muttered as he continued to wash himself. I smirked and grabbed his waist. I leaned down to softly kiss his neck. He didn't respond. I started to bite and lick his wet skin and yet he didn't move. What's wrong with him? He would immediately pin me against a wall.
I let my hands slowly crawl to his crotch, but before I could reach him. He turned around and pushed me lightly out of the stall.
"I've finished." He informed before stepping out and grabbing his towel.
"Can we share the towel?"
"Err, there's not enough room." He said, acting like I should have known.
"We did that last time."
"And when was that 'last time'?" He hissed, grabbing his clothes and throwing them on.
"What's the matter with you? Why have you gotten so…tense?" I could hear him laugh and he carried on putting on his clothes.
I grabbed his towel and quickly dried myself before putting my clothes on. We didn't say anything after we continued changing. Sonic was about to walk out of the room before I grabbed him by the shoulder and shoved him against a wall.
"The fuck?" He hissed.
"Sonic, please, tell me what's wrong?" He turned his head away from me.
"It's too complicated, you wouldn't understand, neither would you care."
"You can tell me anything."
"I don't need to now, I could tell Taylor, Silver." He mocked what he said, like they were the problem. But that couldn't be it.
"Sonic, I want you to tell me. I'm standing right here." We both looked at each other. For a few seconds, he didn't say anything, until he pushed me away.
"No." He said and walked out slamming the door. I ran a hand through my hair. What was he thinking about? Why was he upset? Nothing has happened to make him suddenly act like this. I picked up the rest of my stuff and walked out.
Taylor's POV
"What did you do? He just stormed into his room without a word." Silver told Shadow as he stepped through the dorm door. He shook his head.
"I really don't know; I'm confused."
"He's not telling me anything." Silver admitted.
"Me neither." I added.
"Maybe he hasn't taken his medication." Silver suggested.
Few seconds later Sonic walked back out of his bedroom. He was holding a bag, which looked like it was filled with clothes. Like he was staying over at someone's house.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Out." He replied coldly.
"You're not allowed." Silver added. It is the school rules. Sonic smirked.
"It's Friday, I'm sure I'll be alright." Once he reached the door, he looked back at us. "Have fun fucking each other." And slammed the door. We stood in silence and looked at each other in complete confusion. He was ok yesterday, why the sudden change of character?
"Whatever, he'll be fine tomorrow. Probably some mood swing." Shadow dismissed, sitting on the sofa watching TV. "Anyone want to join me?" Silver smiled and walked over to him. I looked at the door. Sonic did seem genuinely upset about something. It wasn't just a mood swing.
"Come on, Taylor!" Silver called out to me. I hesitated before I joined with them in the couch. I'm sure he will get over it.
The next day, Sonic walked back into the dorm. He looked like he had been out drinking. He looked ill. I was going to ask if he was ok, but he just, again, walked to his room without saying a word.
"This is starting to piss me off." Shadow mumbled, "I haven't stopped thinking about what I've done to upset him."
"Maybe he just having an issue at home, just leave him alone for now." I suggested, rubbing his shoulders in comfort.
"If he had any troubles at home, he would tell me."
For the next week, Sonic hasn't spoken or hung around us much. On the Friday, it was the end of the autumn term. Boys were cheering from left right and centre. I never knew what a celebration it was here.
"Well, you come over and visit anytime you like." Knuckles offered me as we walked back to the dorms. Since Sonic has been avoiding us, I have taken the opportunity to talk to Knuckles. He was so happy to talk again.
"I will, thanks." He suddenly frowned at something.
"What is it?"
"I haven't seen much of Sonic."
"I know. He's been a bit…."
"Of an asshole?" We both laughed.
"This is a rumour but I heard he's been sneaking out of school."
"What?" Really?"
"Yeah, some seniors caught him." Sonic didn't even mention any of that, but then again, he hasn't really spoken to us. "Well, it's just a rumour so ignore it." I smiled at him.
"But you love it, don't you?" I teased. He laughed.
"You know me."
"I have to go, I'll call you later." We both parted ways to our dorm.
Shadow, Silver and I decided that we would go to town the next. Sonic refused to go; he just said he had loads of homework. It was very odd as eighty percent of the time; Sonic doesn't do his homework at all. He does Maths because that's the only subject he's good at. He's top of the school. I was surprised when I heard this because for one, he didn't look like a Maths guy at all and also he didn't seem like a geek or a nerd who likes anime and fixing computers (which he does like). He loves sex just as much. There are lots you can learn about that guy.
Shadow was down for most of the day out. I was getting annoyed. The whole world did not revolve around Sonic and his needs. There are other people too. I told them to stay there and spend time together.
"Where are you going now?" Shadow asked, in confusion. I smiled at him as I put my coat on.
"I realised that I had to visit a teacher. See you back at school." He nodded.
I walked back to the school and headed back to our dorm to talk to Sonic.
I've had enough of his sulkiness. This is going to stop now. I opened the door and walked in. I looked around. There was no one. It was six in the evening so he could have gone to the club.
"Sonic?" I called out. I walked into his room and cheekily looked around. I found several bottles of beer tucked under his bed.
"I can't believe it. How did he sneak this in?
"Taylor, it's rude to go through people's stuff." I heard someone say, calmly. I turned to see Sonic leaning against the wall, smirking at me. He was up to something.

So sorry it's rushed, I just wanted to move onto the next chapter! Things are going to get more interesting and more scandalous.
