Shadow, unfortunately had to go to his least favorite class next: United Federation History. Sabotaging Sonic's club would have to wait, but the good news was that, Rouge was in it. So it wasn't so bad. He walked off towards his class, in the slowest speed. As he was walking he saw Kris walking to her next class. She gave him a weird look and turned away from him.
"I'm still not interested." He quietly whispered loud enough for her to hear him. The snow leopard didn't respond to him. Shadow shrugged his shoulder and moved on to his class.
"Today better be good." He mumbled to himself as he entered the classroom and sat in his desk. There was a nametag taped to it with his name printed on it because the teacher could never remember anyone's name.
"Hi everyone." A dark red dragon entered the room and put his binders on his desk. "I was almost late." He said as the bell rang for class and closed the door. "How are you guys doing?"
The Seniors and some juniors in the room just yawned.
"Ok." The dragon turned around and wrote that day's topic on the board: The Civil War Part 1.
Shadow felt a jolt of anger suddenly flow through him, but he didn't know why. He stabbed his desk with a pencil and bit his lip.
"Okay, today we are going to start talking about the Civil War."
A student raised their hand. "It was about states' rights right?"
"Correct!"
Shadow started grumbling to himself, still weirdly mad.
"It started in 1861 and went on until 1865…"
Shadow crumpled up his piece of notebook paper and threw it at the back of the head of the kid sitting in front of him.
"Hey!" The lizard turned around and glared at the vampire hedgehog. "Quit it!"
Shadow hissed at him and accidentally spit on him because his braces were making him salivate more than normally. The lizard wiped the spit off of his face and growled at him.
"Are you trying to start a fight with me?" He asked irritably.
Shadow didn't say anything.
"Hey kid, can you talk?" The lizard turned around more.
"What is going on back there?" The teacher asked loudly. He put down the textbook he was holding and walked over to the both of them.
"He threw a paper ball at me and spit on my face." The lizard explained.
"Shadow, do I have to move you again? You're acting very childish. Stop it." The teacher told Shadow who was laying his head on his desk now.
"Raise your head." The teacher demanded and Shadow obeyed. "What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I say that this class is boring. I'm from Eastern Europe. None of this shit is familiar to me."
The teacher sighed. "Shadow, I heard from the gym teacher that you already have got detention. Please don't be difficult with everyone today."
"Okay."
"I'll tell you what, how about you be nice for the rest of the day and I won't double your detention time?"
"That would be most excellent my good sir." Shadow replied.
The teacher shook his head and walked up to the board again. "Okay to resume where we left off…"
The rest of the class went smoothly without Shadow being annoying. When class got out it was time for lunch. The kid in front of Shadow was still confused about Shadow's response to their teacher. He had heard that he was really mean.
"So what was that about?" He asked the hedgehog while going out the door. Shadow didn't respond to him. "That guy is really confusing." He said to himself and walked off to lunch to tell his friends about what happened in class.
Shadow walked up next to Rouge who was also heading to lunch.
"So, how are you today?" He asked as they got in the lunch line. Rouge ran her fingers through her hair.
"I'm fine." She replied and looked forward.
"Uh oh." Shadow thought. "I must have done something to piss her off." He ran around her and pushed the person in front of her out of the way so that he could be in front of her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The lunch lady scooped some "food" onto Shadow's tray and called for the next person in line. The hedgehog moved his tray and just grabbed a few type AB Positive blood bags and waited for Rouge at the end of the line. When Rouge had everything, she started walking towards the table where Kris, Amy and Sonic were sitting. Shadow hurried and followed her.
Rouge sat down next to Kris and Shadow sat across from her.
"Com'on what did I do?" He asked.
"What did you do?" Amy asked.
"What DIDN'T he do?" Sonic said, rolling his eyes.
"Shut it dog." Shadow growled.
Rouge finally answered. "Shadow, you can't be testing all the teachers all the time. I like it that you're rebellious but you do it too much sometimes."
Shadow sat there looking at her. "I thought you thought that was hot about me?"
"Even she gets tired of your antics." Sonic laughed. Shadow tried to bite him but Sonic moved his arm just in time. "Whoah, watch it!" The werewolf exclaimed.
Shadow moved back and sighed. "Okay, I admit that I may do it too much."
"I'm asking you to tone it down. I don't want to leave here without you." Rouge said and she opened a blood bag.
Shadow wondered if it was the right time. "Uh I-."
"Shadow likes you and he wants to ask you out." Sonic interrupted with a mischievous grin on his face. Shadow hit him in the chest, with claws and all.
"Holy shit Shadow!" The werewolf exclaimed and coughed. The vampire glared at him. Sonic decided to stay quiet while he tried to catch his breath.
"Oh really?" The bat asked with a smirk
"…Yes…" Shadow whispered.
"Well, ask me~"
