                                                            (Skipped to Tuesday)
Sonic's POV: Shadow is in my first and third class. Whenever I approach him though, he just disappears. It seems like he's trying to ignore me. It's locker passing period right now. "I hope I get a chance to talk to him today..and apologize to him." I quietly say.

"Apologize to who?"

I jumped, it was Shadow. The locker door right next to me slammed shut. I could see Shadows pure red glare from his ruby-like eyes. "I'm sorry!! UH about yesterday, I didn't mean to cause trouble or anything..sorry I made you pass out."

Shadow raised an eyebrow, still glaring at me "You did much more than just making me pass out."

I shivered a little. "I'll do anything!! Just don't hurt me..not here at least." Some students were snickering at us.

"Just..don't bother me anymore. AND DON'T SIT AT MY FOUNTAIN SPOT." Shadow growled.

Sheesh, all this because I sat in his spot? I never even knew he claimed it. This school is public after all.

"OKOK!!" I sighed. Shadow chaos controlled away and left me blank. How am I going to become friends with Shadow if he wants me to stay away from him?? Seems impossible too, his locker is right next to mine!!

Shadow's POV: Sonic really doesn't understand how mad he makes me. Why the fuck was he trying to approach me today?!? In first period, I felt his eyes staring at the back of my head throughout the whole class.

I calmed down and went to my second period. I had a strange feeling, a little guilt. Maybe I shouldn't have told Sonic to stop bothering me. Even though we are rivals, I still enjoy the fights with you..I don't realize it until after i'm calm, accepting the fall in.

"SHADOW??" My math teacher yelled. "If you're going to doze off, do it in some other class. This one is important!! You need to know this, unless you wanna get held back a second time!"

I nodded and shook my head. I needed to get Sonic out of my mind. I want to apologize to him so bad though, but after what I said to him, he'd definitely not forgive me. I've treated him like shit these past years.

*RING* It was the bell. My math teacher was pissed though, I had to stay after class while the locker period passed. At least it saved me from seeing Sonic. I thought. I need to avoid him now... before I say something and fuck up a second time.

After a whole lecture, I went to get my books for third period, science class. I groaned as I realized that Sonic was in that class. As science class passed, all I could do was stare at Sonic, he locked eyes with me a couple of times and I looked away. I couldn't help but stare at him. It is impossible to stop thinking about him.

Sonic's POV: I was in third period class. I felt Shadow stare at me, throughout the whole class. Just like what I was doing in first period. I looked back a couple of times and Shadow looked away. I tuned back to the front and smirked, he must be thinking about me. I thought. After class I should talk to him. I don't think he really wants me one-hundred percent gone from his life. The bell rang and I saw Shadow run out first. It was time for lunch, I wasn't excited or anything. The food was so nasty. I should've packed my own lunch. I was sitting next to Tails and Knuckles. Amy was with the girls, Rouge, Cream, and Blaze. We were all chatting about how boring the classes were, I almost mentioned Shadow but I was glad that didn't slip out my mouth. I didn't want my friends to attack him.

While Knux and Tails were talking about some game I didn't play, I glanced over at a table and saw Shadow. He was eating alone (not necessarily eating, but drinking coffee) and I felt a little bad. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but he must be misunderstood or something, that's why he's always so mean to me. I looked back at Knuckles and Tails, they were still talking about the game.

"YEAH!! BUT IM LEVEL ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR, SO IM STILL BETTER!!"

"NO WAY, YOU HAVE NO SKILLS, THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE THAT HIGH OF A LEVEL IS BECAUSE YOU PLAY THE EASY MODE OVER AND OVER! ILL BEAT YOUR LEVEL ONE DAY!!" Tails and Knuckles kept debating each other.

I yelled over the loudness, "GUYS IM GONNA CHECK UP ON SOMEONE, ILL BE RIGHT BACK!!"

They both nodded and went straight back to their argument. I went over to Shadows table and sat next to him.

Shadow looked over. "What do you want faker? Thought you'd leave me alone by now." His voice was deep but calm.

I took a deep breath, "I want to be friends."

Shadow stood silent for a moment, "Fine..whatever.." he mumbled quietly.

"REALLY?!" I said in excitement, surprised he basically said yes to being my friend.

"Shut up before I change my mind Sonic." Shadow snarled.

I gestured my hands, zipping my mouth and gave a thumbs up. I smiled really big. He called me Sonic! He called me by my name..I don't think he's ever called me that before!

Calming down and hiding my excitement, I asked, "Shadow..do you want to come and eat with me and my friends? I'm sure he'll say yes, I know that he's talked to Knuckle's a couple of times since his friend Rouge, is Knux's girlfriend.

Shadow replied. "Sure but...i'm not gonna talk that much, I don't even know why you're inviting me to sit with your friends."

"That's what friends are for Shadow! Cmon let's go!" I said happily.

Shadow's POV: Why is Sonic being so nice to me..after how bad I treated him. It's like he can see through me. It's my chance to fix things with him though, hope he takes me becoming his friend as an apology for earlier this morning. I was quiet and only talked a little. Sonic made sure I wasn't left out though. I don't know what is in that azure hedgehog, but I want that feeling. He seems so happy all the time. He doesn't think about death and how this all will all come to an end. Something is special about him..it's pulling me.

Sonic and I exchanged numbers at the end of the day, not that i'd call him first or anything..but at least I'll have someone to call when i'm bored. I chaos controlled home. I randomly got mad and started breaking things, feeling stressed out. Why do I feel like this?? I was perfectly fine and calm when I was just at school. I took a cold shower, it helped out. I spent the rest of the day watching the sunset and then looking at the stars alone. This was how every night went. I'd fall asleep outside most of the time, thinking about someone.

She would've loved this.
