Sorry I forgot to tell you this, but the semesters last for five weeks, and now they're in the second semester. Just thought I let you know. By the way, I don't own anything except my OC.

"Chapter Three:
Rescuer"

Third day of the new semester, gym class. Everyone that are there (yes, this includes other students) were all wearing swim suits, and were gathering to a pool. A few students went, and Shadow, was next. While he was stretching, preparing for his jump from the high dive, Sonic was far back in the line between Knuckles, and Midnight. He was shaking, nervously, staring at the water. "What's wrong Sonic?" Midnight asked in concern.

"Huh?" Sonic asked in surprised.

"Are you okay? Ever since we got here, you've been staring at the pool, as if it were your death warrant. What's wrong?" Knuckles said in concern.

"It's nothing." Sonic answered, with fear chocked in his voice. At the other end of the line, Shadow was climbing up the ladder to the high dive. He was about to jump, but the coach stopped him.

"Hold on, Shadow." The coach said, walking to a wall where a phone was ringing. He was annoyed, but he stayed where he was. Going back throught the line, Sonic was still staring at the water in the pool,... his eyes were wide, and he was shaking like a vibrating cell phone.

"Don't worry, Sonic. We're right here. No need to be afraid." Knuckles said, gently punching Sonic's shoulder. Sonic had lost his balance.

"Whoa!" He screamed before falling into the pool. Everyone began to laugh, except the two who were standing near him, even Shadow was trying not to laugh. Sonic should've came up within a minute, but, he was still under water.

"Where is he?" Midnight asked, kneeling next to the pool, looking at where Sonic fell in.

"I don't know." Knuckles said, doing the same thing. Everyone grew worried, and stared at the pool, Sonic still didn't come up.

Shadow was even a bit confused of where the blue haired boy was. After a minute, care and concern struck Shadow, he knew that Sonic wasn't just swimming around.

Instead of calling for the teacher, he dived into the pool. When he hit water, Shadow opened his eyes, and swam around to find Sonic. When he reached the area where he fell, he saw a fuzz of blue, darker than the water. he realized it was Sonic, unconscious, and loosing air fast.

As fast as he could, he swam over to Sonic, and held him in his arms. Then Shadow swam to the surface, and got out out of the pool, with Sonic in one arm.

He quickly set Sonic down on his back, still unconscious, and not breathing. Shadow rushedly, pushed down on Sonic's stomach (should it be there? I don't know), as hard as he could, trying to force the water out of his lungs. Within a few minutes, Sonic was starting to cough out water. Shadow got up, and walked away from him.

Midnight, and Knuckles gently grabbed his arms, and helped him sit up. Sonic's eyes opened slowly to see that he was soaked. A towel was placed on his shoulders to help dry off. The coach came running through, to see how Sonic was doing. "Are you alright?" He asked. Sonic looked at him, and nodded.

"Good to hear." Knuckles said in relieved tone.

"You really scared us." Midnight said in concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. My only question is, who got me out?" Sonic said, out of breath.

"Belive it or not, Shadow did." Knuckles answered. Sonic stared at Shadow who was several feet away, and drying himself off. Midnight walked over to the sourpuss of a hero, with a warm smile on her face.

"Shadow?" She said, trying to get his attention. Shadow looked at the girl who was smiling at him.

"What?" He asked in a dull tone.

"Thank you for saving Sonic." She said. Shadow was caught in shock.

"Why are you thanking me for saving the Faker?" He asked out of confusion.

"Because he could've died, and adding the fact, you don't like, yet you saved his life. That's really nice of you." Midnight answered.

"Just because I don't like him, doesn't mean he desearves to die." Shadow said dully, crossing his arms, with his normal "get away from me" look. Midnight smiled.

She walked up to him, and gently kissed his cheek. She then, rushed back to Sonic, and Knuckles, and left Shadow blushing. He touched the area where Midnight had kissed him, and blushed darker. He moved his hand to his heart, that he felt pound faster. "What is this feeling?" Shadow wondered. The feeling was familiar, but he never felt it quite as strong, as breath taking. He snapped out of his trance. "I have got to be kidding myself,... I couldn't posibly feel that way, not about her." He thought, continuing to dry himself of from his dive.

That's the end of Chapter 3. If you review, I want you to consider your thoughts on the last part with Shadow, and Midnight. I'm not going to say anything of the future, sorry. Plz R&R.
