Hello everyone! So here is the third chapter! I'm glad you guys are enjoying our story, and I'm going to keep putting all my effort in to make sure that this story, as well as my others, are the best that they can be! I'm sure Midnight Moon will, too! ^_^
Well, enough with the sappy business, let's get to what you've all been waiting for!
Chapter Three: Enter Jasmine! Attitude Check Please?
Silver rolled over, and groaned when a stray ray of sunlight hit his face. Yawning, he sat up in his bed, stretching out his still sleeping muscles. He glanced at the clock. 8:30a.m. Silver closed his eyes and leaned back on his arms, letting loose another yawn. His ears twitched, taking in the silence in the room. Silver frowned, before cracking open one eye. The room was empty. Sonic and Shadow's beds were made and their backpacks were gone…
Silver quickly sat up. He looked at the clock again.
"Shit!" Silver yelled, nearly tripping over his own feet as he grabbed his backpack. "I overslept!"
He dashed into the bathroom, and quickly fixed his chest fur and quills. He ran back into the main room. He looked around frantically, his breathing harsh. He finally spotted something quick to eat: an apple. He whipped the red fruit off the counter and grabbed his phone before running out the door.
Why would they leave me? Silver thought as he shut the door behind him. I don't know the schedule well enough yet! Silver speed walked down the corridor, digging through his bag for his schedule.
"Let's see," he mumbled, looking at the classes. "I have history now…joy." He grunted when he walked into someone. "Sorry!"
"Why don't you watch where you're going!"
Silver looked up to see a rose-colored fox glaring at him. She's the fox from yesterday! Silver realized.
"I said I was sorry!" Silver said.
"Well sorry doesn't cut it! You can't just walk into a girl and just say sorry and think that automatically fixes things!"
"Well, there's nothing else I can really say. And, isn't this an all male boarding school? Why are you here?"
The fox backed away. "None of your damn business."
"Well, what's your name?"
"Why do you want to know? Or better yet, why would I tell you?"
"Because I asked you," Silver replied in a kind, yet firm tone.
"…Jasmine." Before Silver could say anything, Jasmine turned and walked off.
Silver glanced at his phone. Damn! She made me even more late!
~Our Little Secret~
All eyes shifted to Silver as he walked into the classroom.
"Ah!" the teacher, a white cat with grey eyes said, smirking. "You actually decided to show up for your first day of class!"
A couple of kids at the back of the classroom snickered. Silver ignored them as he looked for an empty seat. His eyes found a certain cobalt hedgehog, who was attempting to be deeply interested in the textbook lying in front of him.
"Hey," Silver said, sitting next to Sonic.
Sonic looked up at him. "Before you say anything, I had a track and field meeting at six. I have no idea why Shadow left early, though."
Silver nodded in understanding.
"Silver!" the teacher exclaimed. "I believe that students learn in a quiet environment. So stop talking, and start reading about the Roman Empire."
Silver waited until the cat turned to write on the board, before whispering, "Do you know a fox named Jasmine?"
"Yes," Sonic whispered back. "Why?"
"I ran into her this morning. Do you know why she's here?"
"No. She never really talks to anyone."
"Why don't you talk to her?"
Sonic frowned. "Why would I talk to her?"
"I don't know. You seem like the friendly, popular kid that everyone likes."
"Aw! Thanks," Sonic replied, beaming. "But I don't think she would talk to me after yesterday."
"Oh yeah… well, you could try and-"
"SILVER!"
Silver jumped, and looked to see the teacher glaring at him.
"Go to the headmaster. Now!"
Silver quickly got up, giving Sonic one last glance before scurrying out of the classroom. Silver realized something as he walked towards the main office. Jasmine was wearing a black uniform, so she's a primary… yet, she was in the freshman crowd. Why?
~Our Little Secret~
The main office was small. There was a long desk with two secretaries, and four red, plush waiting chairs across from the desk. The carpet was a sickening green color.
"Can I help you?"
Silver managed to take his attention off the carpet long enough to look up to see a black leopard with grey spots smiling at him from behind the desk.
Silver nodded. "Yes. I have to see the headmaster."
"Have a seat," she replied. "I'll page him."
Silver took a seat, and quickly got up when the cushion started sinking beneath him. Jeez! These seats are like sinkholes!
"You'll get used to them."
Silver looked to see Jasmine sitting in the last seat, staring at her ivory gloved hands. Silver hesitated before walking over and carefully sitting down in the chair next to the fox.
"What are you in here for?" Silver asked.
Jasmine looked at Silver for a moment. "I could ask you the same question."
Silver waited for Jasmine to continue. After a while he sighed. "I was talking in class."
"Really? You got sent to the headmaster for that? Is your teacher a white cat with grey eyes?"
"Yes! You know him?"
"Mr. James. I had him before. Worst class ever! He once yelled at a student for breathing too loud."
"Are you serious?" Silver asked. "What if that kid had a breathing problem?"
"I don't know. But I'm telling you right now, that guy's an ass."
Just then a black fox walked out of his office. "Silver?"
Silver stood up. He looked back at Jasmine. "Nice talking to you."
Jasmine's violet irises seemed to twinkle with delight for a second before she lowered her head.
"Nice talking to you, too," she mumbled.
Silver followed Mr. Daniel into his office. There was a small, wooden desk with two chairs in front of it. Bookshelves lined the walls, and a single window lit the room.
"I do fancy a good read," Mr. Daniel said, watching Silver observe the books with mild interest. "So, what brings you here?"
Silver looked at the ground sheepishly. "I was talking in class, and Mr. James told me to come see you…"
"Ah, I see." Mr. Daniel sighed. "You know, it's a good idea to avoid getting in trouble on the first day. It gives your teachers the wrong impression."
Silver nodded, and sat down. "I know…" He didn't bother to mention that the reason Mr. James might've been so mad was the fact that he was an hour late to class. He wasn't planning on mentioning it either, since Mr. Daniel would probably lecture him more.
"Since this is your first day, you will receive a warning," Mr. Daniel continued. "You're free to go. Just try not to talk so much, okay?"
Silver nodded, and got up to walk out. Just as he went to reach the doorknob, someone pushed the door open.
Jasmine stood in the doorway, glaring icily at Mr. Daniel. "I don't know why you think I just have all this free time, old man!" She screamed, marching up to the headmaster.
Silver shook his head, trying to recover from the blow of the door to his face. He looked at Jasmine with horror. She's absolutely insane! He thought. He slowly started to walk backwards towards the main lobby, trying to leave without being noticed.
Mr. Daniel growled. "Why must you be so damn impatient, Jasmine! I have other kids to deal with! You could wait!"
Jasmine put her hands on her hips. "Well, I'm sorry, but I have a life and school I have to attend to, dad!"
Silver's eyes widened. Dad?
I just love cliffhangers! Don't you? Just kidding. :) Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I'll see you all in chapter five!
