I've decided to expand this from One-Shot to full story, considering I have enough material to do so. Now all I need is commitment…

Of course by the time Jake got to school, there was no one in the front, or hallways. School had started, He was late. When his father had bought their house, he didn't care that it was far from school, or that the bus service did not serve them, of course he had counted on all of his children having supersonic speed. Jake reported to the office, signed in, took the late pass, absent mindedly listened to the secretary's speech, and left to class. Along the way, he was met by probably the only other student not in class. "Wha'ch ya doin hea?" sputtered the Echidna in front of him, his English, severely incorrect.

"I just want to get to class Muscle…" He replied, attempting to pass by the huge boy. His name wasn't really muscle, but that's what near everyone called him, no one was sure where or how he lived, since his only brother and father lived on some island off the coast of California. He was the school hall monitor, but lucky for him, he was also the biggest menace, so he never got into any trouble at all. Lord knows how he even got the position.

"Can't le'cha do dat tiny, you's late fo class!"He said with a content smirk.

"I know! Let me by!" Jake said, desperate to get by. The huge red mammal simply scribbled quickly on a pick pad of paper, peeled it off.

"Late notice." He said, waving it in front of Jake's face.

"But I already reported to the front office!" Jake protested.

"Well, looks like you's gonna be late twice den." He said, silently chuckling to himself. Jake pushed by the bully, about to sprint off to class and away from the threat, out Muscle caught one of his back spines and picked him up and threw him against the floor. "ged outta here, ya li'l freak." He said and walked away. "Ya ain't cool like yo brothers…" He was long out of sight, but Jake was still on the floor, anger filling his mind, and for a moment, he could swear he started to smoke.

Eight long hours…eight nearly endless hours of torture. But finally Jake and the rest of his class could start the silent count down. "5…4…3…2…1…" "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" The ending bell, crying out like a chorus of angels, finally graced Jake's ears. He walked (well, ran, but it was that slow) out of the school With excitement.

"Hey Jake!" A voice called from behind him. He looked behind him to see a young Female fox approach him.

"Oh, hey Melody." He said quietly. He and Melody had always been good friends, ever since they were young. They were about the closest you can get to a person, and still be "friends". Melody caught up to him with ease, and smiled brightly at him.

"You don't look to happy, what's up?" She asked him.

"You know, the usual, my brothers hate me, school hates me, Muscle hates me, basically Life hates me." He replied with a saddened face. "I just don't get it! Why Me? Why is it always me that has these problems?" He asked her.

"Well, you're not the only one who has problems you know, Think about the other people in the world, someone has to have a worse life than you…"

Life Sucks.

That's what Shade had been thinking as he ran through the dark metallic hallways. A Robot can toward him, but he jumped and kicked it to the ground with ease, shattering it. He kept running, hearing the foot steeps behind him. "Just a little more…" He thought to himself, as he kept running away from the humans chasing the dark hedgehog. Then he saw it. The last security door, if he could make it past this one before it closed, he could stop the men behind him and get away scot-free. He pushed a bit more to make it out. And just when he thought he was home free…

"KA-PUT!"

His air shoes ran out of charge. He dramatically lost speed and slammed his face on the now fully closed iron door. "Freeze!" cried one of the men behind him, as they all stopped and aimed their guns at him. He looked down to his stolen chaos emerald and sighed as they hand-cuffed him.

"My Life Sucks"….
