ShadAmy How Can I Love You?

May 17th, Day 1 Chapter 27

I woke up beaming with energy, something you don't see everyday. It was the second day of me and Shadow's fake relationship as well as the first day for me to try my best for him. After I had my talk with the girls, I went over to Sonic's house and finally reclaimed my car. Now I don't have to worry about ruining my morning routine. Before I left the house, I packed my lunch, ate breakfast, and made sure I looked more prettier than normal. As I finished putting on my left shoe, I went over to a mirror and tried to admire my appearance. Eyelashes noticeably bigger than before? Check. Casual Cute outfit that I don't usually wear? Check. Quills nicely combed down? Check. Heart still thumping for Shadow? C-check... I felt myself blush at the thought and quickly ran out the door, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I opened my car door and turned on the ignition after putting on my seat belt. Here we go.

This time, I arrived at school around 8:35 am. I put away my lunch inside my locker and went to the girls washroom to check on my appearance again. Okay, Rouge told me where his locker is. All I gotta do is meet at his locker everyday and kick start a conversation. I confidently walked out the washroom and headed down the hallway to Shadow's locker. His locker number is 2354...where oh where--ah! Here it is. Once I approached the locker, I noticed little flaps of pink and white paper stinking out of the slits on the locker.

"What is this?" I pulled out one of the paper and instantly regretted it. Judging from the red heart sticker and Shadow's name written in cursive on the front, I knew it was a love note addressed to Shadow. My hands slightly shook from holding the letter. I wanted to tear it up into pieces, but that would be extremely rude. Not wanting to feel guilty, I shoved the letter back into the slit and sighed.

"Don't pay any attention to those" I turn my head to see Shadow walking down the hallway with his bag slung over to one shoulder. When he finally reached his locker, he opened it. You know those few love letters that I found in the beginning? Apparently there was more. WAY more. There was so much, that when Shadow opened his locker, a pile of multicoloured envelopes fell at the bottom of his feet. I turn my attention back to Shadow, who just continued to put stuff in his locker.

"S-shadow, there's a pile of...." I nervously trailed off.

"I know. I don't come to my locker very often, so some of these are old. " He suddenly pulled out another bag from his locker and proceeded to stuff the pile of envelopes into the bag.

"What are you doing?" I curiously asked arching an eyebrow

"I can't just throw them away. I'll read them when I get home." He calmly retorted back.

I widen my eyes. "All of that?"

He nods. I continued to watch Shadow stuff the confessions into his bag, continually shifting my weight awkwardly, unsure what to do in the situation.

"I'm guessing that you will be at my locker everyday now?" Shadow asked out of context.

I perked up and cleared my throat. "Yeah, if that's alright with you that is..."

Shadow finally finished stuffing the bag. He threw it back into his locker and received his first bag, then closed the locker. "Fine by me. I guess now I have another purpose coming to my locker besides cleaning it." He looked at me and deviously smirked. I felt my ears go hot. I turned my attention to somewhere else, unsure how to reply.

Shadow studied my action then pulled out his phone to check the time. He then walked over to me and karate chopped my head lightly, to bring my attention back to him. "Hey!" I pouted.

"We have some time before our classes starts, Let's chat and walk for a bit." Shadow said with no expression.

My eyes glimmered with joy and I instantly nodded my head. I sort of felt weird knowing that Shadow is taking the initiative to allow me to use his free time. It's something I wouldn't expect Shadow to do really. Meh, I shouldn't complain. Don't waste this time Amy, let's make the most of it!
