Shadow grinned and pointed to himself. "Correct!"

"Rouge doesn't mind your brace face…And your acidic personality?" Sonic continued.

"Nope." Shadow started to lean on Tails' locker, shutting it and almost catching the fox's hand in the door.

"Hey!"

Sonic looked at Tails' hand to make sure it was okay. "Watch it!"

Shadow folded his arms. "He shouldn't have had his hand there."

Sonic sighed. "So did you guys go on a date or whatever?"

Shadow fiddled with the pack of cigarettes in his pocket. "She came over to my house yesterday and we hung out."

"Let me guess." Amy started. "You blew off homework so she could come over?"

"Exactly." Shadow answered.

Amy shook her head. "Shadow, this is why you're still here."

Shadow looked down at the pink hedgehog. "Like you're not the first person to tell me that."

Rouge saw them standing in the hallway and walked over to them. "Hi Shadow." She waved to everyone else. They waved back. "So why're you over here hanging out with underclassmen Shadow? Come over and hang out with me and Kris, and probably Ky if he decides to show up."

Shadow hugged her. "I was just telling them that I got a girlfriend. That's all. I wasn't planning on staying." Some members of Shadow's fan club overheard and started crying. Shadow heard this and smiled devilishly. "Oh, that reminds me, how is your fan club coming along?"

Sonic pulled out his petition paper. "Seven people. Read it and weep. I'll have my own fan club in no time."

"We'll just have to see about that." Shadow replied.

Sonic clutched his paper to his chest and growled. Rouge laughed and pulled Shadow towards her. "You're funny Shadzy. Com'on." She started walking towards the other Seniors in the hallway. Shadow cooperated nicely, odd.

Kris and Ky were standing by their lockers. Ky had forgotten his homework for English Four.

"Kris, can I copy off yours please?" He asked.

"No. I told you to do it yesterday. It's your loss." Kris answered and shut her locker door with Ky's hand.

"Ow!"

"Hey guys." Rouge called with Shadow in her grasp. "Look what I found."

Ky smirked. "Eww what is that thing? Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!" He started weirdly dancing.

"No I like it. I'm keeping it." Rouge replied.

"Aww…" Ky stopped dancing and slumped over to look sad. Kris snickered. "Monsters Inc. I love that movie."

Shadow broke free from his girlfriends' grasp. "Speaking of homework, do any of you have last night's History homework for Mr. Pendragon?"

"You didn't do it?" Kris asked.

"No, I was…Doing other things." He answered.

Kris sighed. "You can look at mine to get an idea of what it was but I'm not saving your ass all the time."

Shadow smiled. "You know you'll help me, even if I'll have to hypnotize you to. You love me, I know you do." His eyes started to glow and Kris briefly lost consciousness.

Ky cut him off. "Hey! No mind control! She'd already said She'd help you! Knock it off!"

Shadow laughed and his eyes stopped glowing. The snow leopard girl snapped out of hypnotization.

"Shadow don't ever do that again!" She stomped her foot. "I changed my mind, I'm not going to help you now." She also turned her nose up.

"Dammit!"


Meanwhile a small brown vampire bat with green eyes and a small black bow hung watching Sonic go through the halls and ask people to join his club. She was trying to make sure that any girls that would pose a threat to her and Sonic didn't sign. She knew that Blaze had already signed and she knew she liked him. So far he wasn't getting many signatures. Good. She flew off to her next class.


Back with the Seniors Shadow was out of luck with getting his homework done. Kris denied him help and Rouge wouldn't let him copy off of hers. He was a sitting duck.

"Come ON Rouge please?" He begged.

"No, you lied to me and said you had already done it. I don't like liars."

Shadow coughed. "That's funny coming from you."

Rouge spun around. "What did you just say to me?"

"I said it's funny of you saying that you hate liars when you lie all the time to get what you want."

Rouge got in Shadow's face. "Do NOT start this relationship out wrong."

"I'm not, I'm just telling the truth!" He backed away from her.

Rouge was silent and Shadow quickly tried to change the subject. "So, how about that rumor that you're gay?"

Rouge grit her teeth. "I'm not, I'm Bi, now leave it alone. If I was gay I wouldn't be going out with you stupid."

Shadow shrugged. "Okay."

Rouge got her books. "You have a day to get your homework done. Get it done. Or else. She walked away.

Shadow glanced at his homework paper and sighed. Kris was mad at him. Rouge was mad at him. His homework hadn't even been started and now, he was hungry. Great.
