Coach Bernard saw the look that the Senior was giving him. This was exactly the kind of thing that got him held back last year. Apparently he thought that he made the rules.
"Shadow I swear, if you don't get over here I will have to write you up a detention slip." The coach warned.
Shadow smirked at him. "I ain't doing the stupid Pacer."
The werewolf looked at him and rubbed his temples. "Get over here now."
Shadow didn't move.
All the other kids who were on the gym floor were now either talking to each other quietly or were on their phones. Some were looking, like the freshmen that were in the class but most knew Shadow and how he operated. Rouge knew him, she was his friend, but she still looked over at him. She smiled. "Little rebel" She thought.
Kris and Ky both looked too.
"I can't believe you two used to date each other." Ky said in observation to Kris.
The snow leopard looked at the black hedgehog. Sometimes she wondered too.
Shadow looked back at the people who were staring at him and the coach. Coach Bernard had taken out a notepad of detention sheets and was now writing on it.
"Shadow, I'm sorry but-" The coach started to say but Shadow had got up off the bleachers.
"Are you going to participate?" He asked the hedgehog.
Shadow walked right past him to the doors. "Nope, I'm just leaving."
The werewolf finished writing the detention slip and grabbed Shadow's black jacket.
"Well, if you're leaving take this-straight to the office." He gave Shadow the dreaded piece of paper and the hedgehog put it in his pocket.
"Okay." Shadow replied.
"Shadow, do you want to be held back again? You can't do this all the time."
Shadow didn't answer him and walked out the door. The coach sighed. "Okay people, time for the Pacer. Everyone line up!"
The kids lined up at one end of the gym and Coach Bernard turned on the Pacer Test CD.
"Hello. This is The Pacer Test. You will line up at the starting line and be jogging back and forth. When you hear- *ding* you should have gotten to the other side."
Most of the students weren't even listening. They just wanted to get this whole thing over with.
"Com'on Let's just get this shit over with!" Ky complained. He started stretching even though he knew that he was out of shape. Vampires were forbidden to use their super speed during this test, and it was hard not to. If they did, they would fail it.
Kris was forbidden to float. She stretched and prayed for the test to be over soon. It couldn't kill her, since she was already dead, but it came close to it.
"Ready? START!"
The CD started to count as everyone jogged to the other side of the gym. When they heard a *ding* they ran back. When a different sound was heard the time between dings would shorten, making it harder. Ky just couldn't take it anymore.
"I don't care if they notice." He whispered to himself. The yellow hedgehog started running faster and faster to the point where it was obvious he was using his vampire speed.
Coach Bernard saw and blew his whistle.
"Ky! On the bleachers now!"
Ky slowed down and did as his teacher said. He plopped down on the bleachers next to him.
"Detention for you too. Now go to the office." The werewolf gave him a detention note and Ky casually walked out the door.
Rouge jogged across the gym. It wasn't very hard for her at this point but she was thinking about Shadow and his adventure to the office.
Meanwhile Shadow was walking around in the dark halls. Not on his way to the office.
"Of course I don't want to be here." He told himself. "But I don't want to do anything. You know what?" Shadow transformed into a bat. "I'm gonna have some fun." He flew away down the hall.
As Shadow flew down the call he looked around for something to do. "Hmmm." When he saw someone walking down the hallway, he hid in the ceiling tiles.
"Okay, coast clear." He whispered to himself and flew to Sonic and Tails' chemistry class. When someone opened the door, he snuck in over the teacher's head and hung on the ceiling above Sonic and Tails. The two didn't even notice the bat over them, which gave Shadow an easy time getting ready for his attack.
Sonic and Tails were working with chemicals and beakers, each trying very carefully to not spill anything. They wore protective goggles and gloves and were holding 2 vials of different chemicals.
"RAH!" Shadow swooped down and screeched, scaring the bejesus out of the werewolf and fox, making them spill whatever they had on the table and floor. The class gasped and the teacher quickly went over to help them.
"Boys go to the emergency shower, and wash your eyes!" She told them and started trying to clean up the table and floor.
Shadow laughed and flew out the classroom door before anyone saw him. He flew through the hall until he bumped into a teacher. He fell on the ground and changed back. "Watch where you're-" He looked up at Coach Bernard.
"Do I have to walk you to the office?" He asked in a disappointed tone. He helped Shadow up and took him straight to the office.
"Here. He refused to do the Pacer." The Coach told the office people. They nodded and showed him to Mr. Griffith, the principal.
The griffin let him inside. "Well, I see you're here again. Why are you still refusing to do the Pacer?" Shadow noticed that Ky was already in trouble and was sitting in the chair next to him.
Shadow sat down in a chair. "Because. What's the point?"
"The point is that we need to give you this test if you want to not be here next year." The griffin said sternly.
Shadow rolled his eyes and Ky coughed.
Back at the Chemistry room Sonic and Tails were franticly trying to wash themselves. "What the Hell Shadow?! Is he trying to kill us?" Sonic growled.
"I guess so. He really hates you." Tails replied.
"He hates werewolves in general." Sonic tried not to shake the water off of himself and get everyone else wet. He smelled like wet dog mixed with the stench of chemicals. "It's just, vampires and werewolves have this natural rivalry going on, and most of the time, vampires are the ones being the jackasses."
"But there are some that want nothing to do with that rivalry right?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, like Amy." Sonic answered while nodding.
The bell rang and the students started pushing out of the door like freed sardines. Sonic and Tails dried themselves off with towels and left. As they walked down the hall to their next class Rouge started walking next to them.
"Hey, have you guys seen Shadow anywhere?" She asked.
Sonic frowned. "Yeah, he just made us spill chemicals everywhere but he flew out the door before anyone else saw him." He folded his arms. "I for one know that he likes you and if you don't know where he is he probably got caught."
Rouge looked at him funny. "Okay, so I should just go check the office?"
"Yes." Sonic answered
Rouge nodded and headed in the direction of the office.
