The Prom (Sonadow)

Chapter 3

A.N.

WELCOME TO VOCABULARY WITH BEETLEJUICE!

"COMING OUT":

It means that you die. Haha, just joking! Kind of.

"C o m i n g  o u t" means that you tell everybody that you're gay.

"But Me. Beebleguse!" You say. "What if I'm not gay?" Well, to that I say:

Yes you are. Stop trying to hide it. And also, burn at the stake, because you are a homosextual and therefore a sinner. Goodbye.

Shadow P.O.V.

Unknown Sender:

Did you really mean that question?

I was walking back home when I received this message. I knew immediately who it was.

Shadow: Yes I did, Sonic. And I will ask again, will you go to The Prom with me?

Sonic: I don't even know. I mean, I didn't even know you knew I existed

(Unsent) Who wouldn't notice you?

Oh please, hedgehog, of course I do, now answer my question

I just don't know

Yeah, okay, I was nervous now. Ugh, I'm so stupid. Why would he ever go with another-

*Ding!*

But I think I want to

Sonic the Hedgehog, I won't let you regret that!

But I have to know, is this some sort of prank?

God, you are stupid

Gee, thanks

No problem

But seriously, you want to go with me to The Prom? Where they'll all see?

I don't know. Are you ready?

I want to be, but my mom is on the PTA and so she'll totally be there. And I just don't know how she'll react.

You haven't told her you're gay?

Oh my god. He's gay.

I could ask you the same question

Good point

Just to clarify, you are okay with us going to The Prom together?

No, I just asked you because it's funny to see innocent people cry.

On second thought, I'm not so sure about this

That was a joke, hedgehog. Yes, I am okay with it, and since you didn't immediately block this number, I'm guessing you are too.

Yeah, but it's still a little crazy

I know. You got the smartest and best looking hedgehog at school.

You fucking wish

I was at my house by now, and my dad was there to greet me.

"Hey Shadow, how was your day?"

"Fine." I said akwardly and ran up to my room before he could ask anymore questions.

I should probably explain. See, my mother divorced my father 3 years ago, because she was a lesbian, then moved to San Fran and married this hot chick just to rub it in my father's face. Which, first of all, means I now have to moms and a dad, which is both weird and cool, but it also means that my mom hid her sexual identity for years just to avoid being ridiculed. So, yeah. I don't think my dad would be very okay if he found out that his only son was gay. Which is why I'm bringing it to my grave.

Just kidding; I'm planning on coming out at The Prom, which is part of the reason I asked Sonic. That, and it's cute when he pretends like he doesn't want to talk to anyone. But, back to the story.

Me and Sonic continued chatting all afternoon, and got to know each other more. Apparently he had the idea to come out at The Prom, too, but he's scared to do it because he doesn't know what he mom will think. But, I told him that he has nothing to sorry about, because she can't be worse than my dad. We kept texting like this all night, and I can truthfully say, it was one of the best nights I've had in a while. But I know that Friday will top it completely.

Sonic P.O.V.

I woke up to my alarm and groaned, but then smiled when I thought about what happened last night. I hoped it wasn't just a dream. I got ready and walked to school, but passed Shadow on the way.

"Hey Shadow!" I said. But he just stared at me blankly, like nothing had ever happened between us. Then one of his asshole friends, Scourge, I think, came up to him and said,

"Hey Shad! Is this kid causing you trouble? Cause I'll certainly show him up if he is." Scourge said, and made a fist at me.

"No, I'm fine." Shadow replied and blocked the fist. "He's just being weird." Then he looked at me with the strangest expression, but it quickly turned to annoyance.

"Uhh, okay. C'mon Shadow, were gonna be late!" Scourge said, and dragged him along into the school.

So, was it a dream?

I tried my luck again at lunch, when I walked over to Shadow's jock table and sat down.

"Hey, you're that kid from earlier, right? You come to be weird again?" Was the first thing Scourge said upon seeing me. I swallowed the urge to punch him in the nose and said,

"No, I just want to talk to Shadow." Said hedgehog just sat there for a few seconds, then said coldly,

"About what?" I looked away, then looked back and stuttered out,

"A-alone."

"Ooh" His friends teased.

"Will you shut up?" Shadow yelled. I was begging to feel more and more like last night was a dream. Still he got up, and I did too. I followed him to the main school building, into a vacant hallway.

"You're such an idiot, Sonic." He said as soon as the door closed. I just sighed and said,

"Y'know, I had the best dream last night."

"It wasn't a dream."

"Oh, okay. So you're only a dick in public." At least I know it wasn't a dream.

"I'm not a dick."

"Yeah, you are." I was aware that I was yelling at this point, but I didn't care. "I mean, you act like we aren't going to the P-"

I was stopped when he put his hand on my mouth.

"Stop. talking." I pulled his hand off of my face.

"So we're just gonna act like nothing has changed?" I asked.

"Yes. Do you know what would happen if anyone found out that were were gay?"

"Oh come on, we can't be the only gay people in the whole school, it's freaking High School."

"I don't care. No one will know."

"Sure, no one'll know, until Prom day when we walk into the Gym hand in hand like homosextuals!"

"Sonic..." He said with annoyance. I internally smirked. I had officially pissed off Shadow. Then he took my hands, and... did someone turn on the heater?

"Look, the school just isn't ready for us yet, okay? But they will be on Friday, when we do walk into that gym together." It's amazing how calm and soothing his voice can be when he wants it to. I smiled.

"Yeah, okay. You win."

So, I was originally going to split this part in two, but I decided to merge it because: better give a long chapter than two short ones, right? So, yeah. I'm finished, and it's currently 12:09 A.M. and my once fully charged tablet is now at 45 percent.
