ShadAmy How Can I Love You?

Some Relationship Chapter 29

"Shadow..." I called out. He was holding my hand with a firm grip to my first class.

"Shadow wait!" I called out again a little louder, but Shadow still refused to turn around. My eyes caught glances from the other students in the hallway and I felt self conscious. This probably looks really bad from their point of view. I shouldn't let Shadow get a bad reputation for my actions.

We were two rooms down from my classroom, when I planted my feet down and stiffen my position from Shadow pulling me forward. "Shadow I said wait! Everyone is looking at us funny." Finally, he stopped and turned to face me. He had that familiar poker face that no one could crack.

"What?" He asked harshly.

"I guess I should say thanks. For you know...sticking up for me." I wiggled my shoulders and adverted my eyes from him.

"I actually stopped you from embarrassing yourself." Shadow let on.

I narrowed my eyebrows and looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"

Shadow ran his hand through his quills and sighed in exasperation. "I'm no fool. You would've lashed out on those girls without thinking it over in your head. Not only would you seem like a total hothead, but you would be affecting my reputation."

I scoffed with disbelief and put my hands on my hips. "Oh my God! You DO care about your ego. So now what? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me? Is that it? Are you gonna be embarrassed when we go on that date after school too?"

"Why in the world would I want to go on a date with you?" Shadow hissed back. "It's already bad enough that I got guys and girls coming at me with questions like; "who's your girlfriend?", "why Amy?", "ain't she crazy when it comes to love?""

I took a step back and winced. Once again, Shadow made me feel bad about myself. I bit my lip with anger and firmly pressed an index finger into Shadow's chest fur. "You know what? If you're so worried about what others think about you, then why don't we just break up, hm!? I'll go back to chasing Sonic regardless if he has a girlfriend! At least he's not a jackass like you!" I pushed on my index finger and made Shadow slightly stumble backwards. I stomped passed him with both my hands holding onto my biceps and cursed under my breath. I continued to do this until I was in front of my classroom door. "Screw you douchebag!" I hollered behind me.

I went to my desk and proceeded to pull out my binder and other utensils with anger. "Stupid Shadow. This is so stupid, how can I love a dingus like him!? He's an idiot, a jerk, a total ego filled scumbag!" I murmured to myself.

Finally, the bell rung to indicate that students should be going to class. Since I was already in class, I perched my right elbow onto my desk and rested my face on its hand. Fricken hate Shadow so much. I don't even know how I like him. Stupid, stupid, STUPID! This guy has another girlfriend somewhere in this world too! I'm making a fool of myself trying to impress him. My God, what is wrong with my emotions!?

---

I made sure that I was the first one to arrive at our usual lunch table. I sat there still pissed off with what happened between me and Shadow. But deep down, I was terribly sad that the fake relationship ended so soon. I shook my head and continued to pick at my garden salad. Who cares if the relationships over? Now I don't need to worry about me winning his heart within a week. About three minutes with me sitting at the table, Blaze and Silver came along and sat down.

"Hello Amy. How was your day?" Blaze asked with a smile on her face.

"Great. Fantastic." I bitterly replied back with hints of sarcasm in my voice.

Blaze froze in her seat and arched an eyebrow at me. Dammit. She knows I'm lying.

"Amy what is wrong? Did something happen?" She persisted in a serious tone.

I slammed my fork down on the table and felt the anger boiling up inside of me. "Yeah something did happen! I'm in this God awful mood because of that stupid Shadow!"

Silver's eyes lit up, clearly forgetting about the mood I created at the table. "Holy snap the rumours aren't fake! You're dating Shadow!? What's that's like? Wait a minute... From what I can remember, you two barely even talked. How did you guys even get together?"

I glowered at Silver, but quickly looked away when I saw Blaze giving me a death glare if I continued to stare at Silver with such hate filled eyes. I sighed and rested my head on the table. "That's what I wanna know Sil. I don't know how a girl like me can fall for a guy like him! Right now, the relationship stinks. In fact, I actually broke--"

"She broke her ankle while walking around in the hallways with me."

Everyone turned their attention to Shadow who spoke with his deep steady voice. "She wanted me to carry her but I refused. Little does she know, I'm planning a date after school for us." He continued with his regular voice.

What? Break my ankle huh? Wait... Date!? My eyes widen with astonishment. "A d-date today? After school?" I gulped still in awe in what I heard.

"Wow Shady, I never thought you would be the one making the plans! Who would've thought you had some romance in ya?" Silver teased with a wide grin on his face.

He scoffed. "I'm only doing this to make up for me neglecting my duties as a gentlemen. That is all." He turned his attention to me and handed me a piece of paper. "Do not be late." He growled lightly.

With that, he walked out of the cafeteria and never came back. I blinked a couple of times, having a hard time processing what just happened. I looked down at my hands and carefully opened up the folded piece of paper.

I'm sorry what I said earlier this morning. I can sometimes be harsh without a good reason. To make up my for my action, let me provide you with that date. Meet me today at 5 at downtown's recreation centre. Dress for the cold.
