new student: chapter 22

Sonic's POV

"what do you mean you didn't pass?" I asked and grabbed his shoulder. "i didn't pass." Shadow laid his head against my chest again continued to cry. "the letter said that i haven't been in school for enough days because i got sick so often." He cried. "shhhh, it'll be fine." I said to try and comfort him. But my attempts were all in vain. "no! it won't be fine! i failed at my first year in school! not to mention that i won't graduate together with you!" Shadow cried and grabbed the collar of my shirt roughly and shook it a little in anger. "it won't be fine!" He whimpered and once again laid his head on my chest.

Time passed by as i tried to comfort shadow. The bell had already gone off and more students walked in. The girls and a few guys in our class did care that shadow was practically breaking down in front of everyone and had asked what was wrong. I just told them that it was complicated. I didn't tell them because i didn't think that shadow would want me to and i don't think they would understand either. The teacher had entered the classroom. The teachers who did the classes shadow followed were the only ones in the school, except for the princepall, who knew about shadow's childhood in order so they could help shadow if he was having a tough time. So once the teacher had entered and instantly knew what was wrong he had told shadow to stay at home till tomorrow. Shadow nodded and left without a word.

After that class went by as they ussual did. Just more boring and i couldn't keep my mind off of shadow.

Shadow's POV

After coming home maria's mother had instructed me to go to my bed and get some sleep. So i had walked upstairs into my bedroom. I laid down on my bed. I couldn't sleep so i had decided to watch a movie instead. I was stroking the head of a plushie sonic had won for me on a fair. I was sick when we had planned on going to the fair with our friends. But because iw as sick i couldn't go. But sonic was a sweetheart as always and thought of me. So he won a plushie for me. Maria's father thought that it was a bit girlish to recieve a plushie from my boyfriend. But then maria's mother had reminded her husband that, seeing that i was a herm, i practically was half girl. So he didn't mind anymore. I had the plushie between my legs and kept stroking it's head while watching the movie. I sighed and laid back down on my bed. I turned my tv off and fell asleep quickly.

When i was on the verge of awakening i heard the familiar soothing voice of my lover. I opened my eyes and saw him sitting on the bed stroked my quills. "sonikku." I smiled tiredly and sat up to hug him. Sonic hugged back and kept stroking my quills. "how are you feeling?" He asked. He was so sweet to always consider my feelings. "i'm feeling a little better, thank you." I answered and moved onto his lap. Sonic smiled and leaned his head on mine. I snuggled into his chest. "is it to okay to quite school." I asked. I didn't want to continue school. I failed in my first year of school. To me that obviously meant that i just wasn't fit for school. "quite school? but why? shadow, you can't just quite now. if you quite then what'll become of you." Sonic said. He was obviously confused to why i would want to give up on school after my first year. "i don't know what'll become of me. but i would rather be a housewife then not being able to graduate together with you." I replied. "graduating a year after me isn't that bad." Sonic began, but he got cut off by me. "sonic! when you graduate then i'll still have year left. then not you, rouge or any of our friends will be left in school. i'll be compeltely alone. i don't want to be alone!" I yelled and snuggled into sonic's chest as i began to cry again. Sonic was completely speechless after that. He didn't know what to say to comfort me. So he just kept stroking my quills.

Sonic's POV

I hoped that shadow wasn't serious about quiting school. So one year failed, who cares? he can always start over. I know that it would be difficult, but he knows that i would always wait till he was graduated. But obviously shadow didn't see it that way. I just wished that he got enough sence in his mind to just restart this year. But unfortunatly, i was the only one thinking like that.

Later when shadow had fallen asleep in my arms and i had laid him back down on the bed. I walked down the stairs and talked to shadow's parents about it. Seems like they agree with shadow because they want him to be happy. That made me ever more speechless. Why do they even agree with it so easily? But i guess it couldn't be helped.

The last days of my second last school year were passing by quickly. And before i knew it summer vacation had started. And i found shadow to be serious when he said that he was going to quite school. Cause maria had told me that shadow was no longer a student at the school anymore. It saddened me alot knowing that, but i guess it made shadow happy.
