Shadow gulped and looked at the bat, down at his food and back up again. She was waiting for him to ask her out, or he'd miss his chance.
"Well…"
Sonic leaned foreward "Are you gonna do it or, are you going to wimp out Mr. Big Shot Vampire?" He laughed.
Shadow gave him a sharp glare. "Sonic I swear to Satan's sweet Hell if you don't shut the fuck up RIGHT NOW-"
"Language!" One of the teachers in the cafeteria had heard him curse.
Shadow lowered his voice. "I will hurt you."
Sonic pulled back. "You're funny. Do you know how skinny you are compared to me?"
Shadow rolled his eyes and turned his focus back to Rouge. "As I was saying-"
Amy piped up. "Isn't it a bit rude asking her out in front of Kris, you know, your Ex." She pointed her thumb at the ghost snow leopard who was just sitting there listening to the conversation.
"I don't care…" Kris lied. She did care but was too afraid to admit it.
"See, she doesn't care." Shadow wrongly pointed out. "It's all good."
Amy slapped his hand. "Wrong! She does care! Look at her, she still likes you. The only thing you're going to do is hurt her even more!" She gave the snow leopard a hug and glared at the black and red hedgehog.
"What?" Shadow asked as he looked at his Ex. Kris quickly got up and left the table.
Amy watched her leave. "Now look what you did!" She folded her arms, turned around and refused to look at Shadow.
"Okay…So Rouge, do you want to go out with me sometime? I know a great place where we can get a bite to eat."
Sonic snickered.
"That wasn't a joke."
Rouge looked him over. "I don't know, with how you were just ignorant of the things wrong with you asking me out in front of your ex-girlfriend, I'm not sure."
Shadow's ears drooped.
"But I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt that you'll do this again. So don't. I accept, IF you don't act stupid like that again."
Shadow's ears went back up again. "Really?"
"Yes."
Shadow did a fist pump. "Yes!"
Rouge sighed and went back to her blood packet. Shadow went to feed on his. The rest of lunch was quiet for that table. Later after school Kris was at her house doing her homework on the floor in the den.
"You look down. What's wrong?" Her brother asked in concern when he saw her. He squatted down next to her.
"Nothing, Shadow just asked Rouge out and he almost did it in front of me." Kris explained.
Ky really looked worried. "He did?"
Kris nodded.
"What an asshole."
"Yeah."
Ky patted her on the back. "It's okay, he's always been like that. I'm not saying what he did was called for but you really have to get over him."
"But I can't…"
"Just try, and you'll feel better. Trust me." Ky stood back up and went into the kitchen. "You hungry?"
"Ghosts don't eat."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot." Ky got out an apple from the fridge and bit into it. "Mmm Juicy."
Meanwhile Sonic, Tails, Shadow and Amy were playing Soccer outside at the school Soccer field. Shadow had the ball and was running towards the goal. Amy was the goalie and she was ready for the shot he was going to try and make. Sonic was shouting at her.
"Amy! Don't let him score!" He hollered.
Amy nodded and dove for the ball when Shadow went to shoot for a goal.
"Ha HA! You're not gonna save it!" Shadow shouted triumphantly.
Amy however, had dove for the ball at just the right moment to save it and was on the ground holding the ball.
"Really now? You forget that I play Soccer a lot though! And I'm a very skilled goalie!"
"Damn!" Shadow snapped and started to catch his breath. He drank from his blood-filled water bottle to rehydrate. Sonic came up behind him and slapped him on the back.
"Good game."
Shadow choked and coughed. "Don't do that!"
"Good game guys!" Tails congratulated. "I have to go home and do homework now."
Sonic waved. "Bye Tails, see you at home."
Tails waved back and headed home. Sonic looked at Amy. "We'll now we're short one player. I guess we can't play anymore."
Shadow started darkly chuckling to himself. He pulled out a flying disc. "You want the Frisbee?"
Sonic suddenly became hypnotized by the Frisbee. "Yes! Yes, I want the Frisbee!"
"Go get it doggie!" Shadow threw the disc and Sonic zoomed after it. Shadow stood there and laughed at Sonic running after it like a dog.
"Haha that is cute." Amy commented on Sonic's behavior. "I wonder why he gets like that?"
"He's a dog." Shadow replied. He started to pack up. "Well, I gotta go home, homework sucks." He picked up his stuff and made his way for home.
"Bye Shadow." Amy waved.
Shadow didn't respond. When he got to his house, he threw his bag on his bed and sat down at his desk.
"I can't believe she said yes!" He excitedly whispered to himself. He leaned over and got his textbook out of his bag.
"Stupid God damn History…" He muttered to himself. He opened the book and started to read, only because he was forced to.
