Chapter 6
Of Dates and A Discovered Secret
CYMBALINE'S POV.
It was great getting to spend time with the guys at the ice rink yesterday, and I think that the girls are having fun getting to really know them. It was kind of funny how they acted around each other. You could tell who liked who and who liked who back, to bad I can't tell how Shadow feels about me…
I was sitting in my room, and it was 8:45 pm. The girls had gone home an hour ago after we all watched a movie marathon together. The guys even gave each f them their numbers so that they could all sty in touch with one and another. They probably did that so it wouldn't just seem like they were only giving their number to the person that they liked. I knew the boys so well. The boys were all staying here for while the next few nights, which wasn't surprising. They would stay here for a part of the time, they go stay with each of their parents, for some bonding and all that.
I had been lucky enough to get in the shower first before all the boys. There was one time I wasn't able to and I paid the price, they had used up all the hot water, so when it was finally my turn, I was met with freezing water on my body without any warning, so I knew what to do for other times. Either go in early, or beat them to the shower. But I digress.
I had finished packing everything for school and was sitting on my bed with my guitar, strumming it light and playing a few songs here and there. I then started to play and sing the song "24" from the movie, Ultraviolet, one of my longtime favorites.
24
Been given 24 hours
To tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all
I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round
No time to sit down
Just wanted to
Run and run and run
Be careful they say
Don't wish life away,
Now I've one day
And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time
In 24 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
Is there a heaven a hell
And will I come back
I had thought I heard my door open, but I was too immersed in the music to care or think about it.
Who can tell
Now I can see
What matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been
The people I've seen
Plans that I made
Start to fade
The sun's setting gold
Thought I would grow old,
It wasn't to be
And I can't believe
How I've been wasting my time
In 18 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
In 13 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it
And I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time
In just 8 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
In just 1 hour they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life, it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me
I finished the song with a sharp strum and took a deep breath and exhaled. Then I heard a familiar voice.
"Wow, nice job." I looked up abruptly and saw that it was Shadow.
I hadn't even know that he had come in, and I was a little embarrassed, one for not knowing that he came in and was there, but also because of my pajamas. I was wearing a black pajama half shirt that said "Bite Me…Please…" and also showed some of my cleavage and my bra straps, and my blue shorts that were at my mid thigh, and I also had on my tall black and blue socks.
"Just be cool, Cym, be cool." I said to myself.
"Hey, sorry I didn't hear you come in." I said, putting the guitar down.
"It's alright, you sounded amazing." he said smiling at me. It was hard to control my blush.
"Thanks, Shadow." I said, looking down, then up at him again.
"You're welcome, and there was also something I wanted to ask you." he said, looking around my room.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Well…would you want to…go out with me…next weekend?" he asked, blushing almost the same color as his eyes.
I couldn't believe it, he was asking me out! He must have taken the silence the wrong way, because after a minute, he looked down sadly and spoke.
"It's okay, you don't need to answer, I understand. I hope that this wont effect our friendship." he said, turning to leave.
"Don't let him get away, Cym!" my mind screamed at me.
I quickly grabbed his hand and turned him back.
"No, no! I'm sorry Shadow, I was just surprised is all. In fact, the truth is, I would love to go out with you next weekend." I said.
He looked back to me with hopeful eyes, then smiled.
"Great, we can get dinner and catch a movie." he said.
"Originality, I like it. Sounds good. So what time?" I asked.
"How about at seven?" he questioned.
"That sounds great." I stated.
"Good, well goodnight, Cymbaline." he said, then, and I'm totally not making this up, he kissed my cheek."
"Goodnight Shadow." I said, as I kissed his cheek as well. We were both blushing, and smiling at each other.
After a minute and another 'goodnight', he went to his room and I looked at the clock, 9:00 pm. It was time for me to go to bed. I got under the covers and drifted off into sleep, dreaming about Shadow and I, together…
THE NEXT DAY. CYMBALINE'S POV. STILL
Unfortunately I had to have my brothers drive me to school. Once we pulled up, I saw the girls and Knuckles and Shade and called them over. Then my brother got out of the car and greeted them, they were shocked but after the introductions and an explanation, they understood. Rosy and Scourge were talking about different music, and there were hints of him flirting with her, because her muzzle was a bit red. And sonic and Amy were talking about different songs that they both have written before, and how they would want to see the other's songs sometime. It was actually pretty cute.
Blaze, Cream, Knuckles, Shade and I looked at them with knowing smirks, before starting to talk about things like school, and how we were managing with all the homework. It was peaceful. But the peace didn't last to long because then there was the call of someone shouting,
"LOOK IT'S SONIC AND SCOURGE OF THE CHAOS CONTROLS!"
Then we were surrounded by fan girls. My brothers got in the car, but before they drove off they said,
"Have a good day at school sis!" Sonic called looking at me
WHAT WAS HE DOING!?
"Yeah, we'll see you at home Cymbaline!" Scourge said, then added, "Our favorite and only sister!"
I glared and sent them a look that said, 'I'm going to kill you for this!',as everyone gasped and got silent and looked at me.
"Well, see ya, Cym, and you girls too. It was nice meeting you, Knuckles and Shade!" Sonic called once more, Knuckles and Shade waved at them a bit awkwardly, then my brothers drove off.
I was then under an avalanche of questions all at once, like,
"They're your brothers?!"
"You're related to the Chaos Control twins?!"
"What's it like?"
"Do you go to all the concerts?"
"What are they all like?"
"Do you ever take people with you to see the concerts, like friends?"
"Are they single?"
"Can you introduce us to them if they're single?"
I saw Amy, Rosy, Cream and Blaze stiffen at that comment, I even stiffened a little bit. That was obviously not going to happen, I wouldn't let these girls take our boys away from us.
Just then the five minute bell before school started went off. Here was my chance.
"Sorry, got to go. Come on guys!" I said as I hastily walked away with the others.
As I walked to class with Rosy and Amy, we were being followed by our fellow classmates and even some that weren't in our class. The teacher made them go to their classes, and then turned on the morning announcements. I was taking a sip of water from my water bottle to try and calm down, and then looked up and saw the news.
"We have some exciting news everyone, as it turns out, new student, Cymbaline Hedgehog is the younger sister of Sonic and Scourge, the twins of the famous band, The Chaos Controls!"
I did a spit take right then and there and everyone turned to me with wide eyes and mouths, then looked back to the tv.
"We have this video evidence as proof. Please roll the video."
Just then everything that happened from this morning since I got to school to people asking me questions was being played, and THE ENTIRE SCHOOL was seeing it. My secret was out.
"Well, that certainly is something, now for the other things happening here at Station Square High…" I wasn't paying attention after that, and neither was anyone else, not even the teacher.
After the news had ended and we got to work on our new art project, people were watching me and whisperings, as if I couldn't here.
"Maybe things will get better?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure it can't be that bad, right?" Rosy asked as well.
I took in a breath and sighed.
"I have a feeling that this is going to be a long day." I said to them, as we went back to our project.
I couldn't believe that my brothers did this, they were supposed to be on my side. I mean I knew that people would find out eventually, but I was hoping that it wouldn't happen while I was still in school, especially high school. But maybe it wouldn't be so bad…
Just then I saw a bunch of reporters outside the window taking pictures of me and trying to talk through the glass. Our teacher had to close the shades and tell everyone to get back to work.
One thing was definitely for sure now…I was going to kill my brothers when I got home. Well, maybe not kill, but, maim? Oh, definitely. I could still hear the reporters outside still, which didn't help calm me down at all.
Yeah, this would be a very long day…
