Sonic's Life (REWRITTEN)

Chapter 2: First Day At School

Despite how my family treated me I was really a nice guy. I tried to see the best in other people and give them the benefit of the doubt. "Wow. School! Finally!" I said excitedly at 8 years old. "I sure hope things will be better here and I'll actually make friends!"

After my first class and I closed my locker I was met with a boy and a girl. I smiled brightly and greeted them enthusiastically. "Hi! I'm Mutant, and you are?" I asked brightly. The boy shoved me to the floor and I landed with a thud.

"My name's Austin, and this girl right here is Linda. Mutant, you just caught the eye of the wrong people!" snickered Austin, clenching his fists, grabbing my neck as he evilly smirked at me.

"A-Austin, I didn't d-do anything to you. Wh-Why do you h-hate me!?" I asked shakily. "Awwww, stuttering?! HAHAHAH!! Such a pathetic loser." mocked Linda, smiling smugly at me. "Wanna fight Mutant?!" challenged Austin.

"N-No, I never said t-that... I just wanna be friends with you!" I revealed. They paused and burst into laughter. "An abomination such as you cannot be friends with someone like us. HAHAHAHA!!!" laughed Austin.

"We better not cross paths when you're alone for your sake, Mutant, or else you're in real trouble..." threatened Austin as he dropped me and walked away. Linda laughed at me and walked after him.

My ears drooped. I picked myself up and carried on with my day. Then I encountered Sonia with her friend Karen. "Hey," I greeted as I approached them. "Can I sit with you?" I asked. "Ew, is that your brother? He's so disgusting." grimaced Karen.

"No you cannot Mutant. In fact there's a table waiting for you at the back over there." growled Sonia. My ears pinned back as I nodded shyly. "Okay Sonia... see you after school..." I said sadly. I went to Manic's table to see if I could sit with him.

"Hey Manic," I greeted as I approached him and his friend Daniel. "Can I—" I started. "Absolutely not, Mutant!" growled Manic. "But I..." I started. "Absolutely.Not. You CANNOT sit with us loser!" agreed Daniel.

And then I got angry. "What do you mean? Why do you hate me so much?! I just want to sit with you! Why must you be so horrid?!?" I asked loudly. Manic glared at me dead in the eye. He walked up to me and slapped me on the face causing me to fall over.

"Never.say.that.again, do you hear me Mutant?! DO YOU HEAR ME?! Ugh, I wish you were never born..." growled Manic. I walked away with tears in my eyes. I sat down on a table where no one else was sitting at. I couldn't even enjoy the little amount of food I had.

I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down into tears. Why did they  hate me for something I couldn't even control?! It was racism, if you ask me.

If you told me back then I would be a famous superhero with friends who loved me I would not have believed it...
