ShadAmy How Can I Love You?

50th Challenge Chapter 20

We were inside the school's parking lot. I got off my seat and turned to wait for Shadow to turn off the ignition, but he never did. I tilted my head to the side and gave him a weird look.

"Aren't you coming in?" I asked him.

I didn't notice before, but his line of sight was focusing somewhere else. I followed his gaze to see that he was staring at a pack of hoodlums talking very loudly. One of them was wearing ridiculously big red shades and his quills were coloured green. He wore a leather jacket and was wrapping one arm around what looked like a red fox's waist. I then felt a hand grab my arm, tugging me towards the door. I turned back to see Shadow quickly pacing himself in front of me.

"What's the matter?" I asked a bit scared.

"Do you know who those people are?" He looked back. I shook my head no.

"Good, keep it like that. Stay away from them since you're now associated with me." He said in a somewhat threaten voice.

He pushed the front doors opened and released my arm, and continued to walk. I rubbed my arm from Shadow's tight grip. He glanced over, then slowed down until we were walking side by side.

"Sorry, just had to make sure they didn't see us." He quietly said.

I smiled. "No, no it's fine. Anyways, what class do you have?"

"Physical education." He lamely said.

"Oh, that's the around my classroom. I'll just walk you to class then." I softly smiled

Shadow didn't protest, so I took it as a sign that it was alright for me to do so. We arrived in front of the gymnasium's doors and walked right through. I looked around to see that the class were currently playing volleyball, and the court was divided into two teams. In the corner of my eye, I saw a ray of blue light zipping over from the left side. It was Sonic. He had a bright beaming smile as leaped in front of the net, getting ready to spike the ball.

"You're toast Sal!" Yelled out Sonic.

He slammed his hand onto the ball with excessive force. The ball whirled passed Sonic's girlfriend and slammed hard onto the ground. Then, a loud whistle was blown by the teacher.

"Go easy on the ladies Sonic!" The teacher chuckled in amusement.

Sonic plotted down on his feet and folded his hands behind his head. "The whole team ain't just girls teach!"

"No no it is! I'm saying the guys are playing like wusses right now."  Hollered the coach.

The whole gym class started to laugh.

"Hey that's sexist! Alright if you wanna play like that Sonic, looks like I gotta step up my game." Said Sonic's girlfriend.

The class oohed and Sonic blushed. I felt my chest tighten up and wanted to leave.

"Shadow, I'm gonna go..." I tug on his arm to make sure he was listening. From the corner of his mouth, I saw his lip curl, indicating he was smirking. He grabbed my wrist until we were in front of the bleachers.

"No stay. Let me entertain you for a while." Said Shadow in a deep alluring voice.

I jolted up and felt the tips of my ears blush. I watched him walk over to the teacher and whispered something. The coach then bursted out laughing and nodded.

"Everyone off the court except Sonic! Looks like we got the rivals versing each other once again!"

Everyone yelled out in excitement and went over to the bleachers to sit. Sonic's gaze went over to Shadow who was stepping on the court and pulling on his bracers. For a brief moment, Sonic and my eyes locked and I saw his expression change from brightly lit to sadness. I looked away, can't handling him looking at me.

"The games over here" blurted out Shadow.

Sonic snapped his gaze back to Shadow and smirked. Someone rolled the ball over to Sonic, he picked the ball up and kept tossing it in the air, then catching it.

"Alright Faker, let's make it my 50th win in our rivalry challenges!"Sonic deviously smirked.

"Hmph, or we could make it your 50th loss." Shadow moved his feet apart and rolled his shoulders.

Sonic threw the ball high in the air, and then hit it hard so it could go over the net. I watch the ball go at incredible speed to Shadow's side. I notice the angle of the ball was going to an empty space on the court, no where near Shadow. Can Shadow save this!?
He can! Shadow made a ray of red light towards the ball and bumped it over the net with a smirk.  The crowd went wild and screamed in excitement.

"First one to get the first point wins this challenge you crazy hedgehogs!" Yelled out the teacher.

The two hedgehogs were all over the court, bumping and spiking the ball in hopes to score the first point. Sonic was a blue blur zipping everywhere on the court with a big grin on his face while Shadow was a red blur, smirking with amusement. In unison the two answered "got it coach."
