SonAdow High School Life

A Trip on the Stairs

The next day I was back at school and everything seemed to be okay. At lunch I wasn't bothered by anyone like I usually was. 

"Hey sonic!" My friend Silver put his tray next to mine. 

"Hey." I nodded. 

"Whoa talk has been going on like you wouldn't believe!" He said sitting with me. 

"Hm?" 

"You got in a fight with Shadow on Tuesday?" He asked. 

I began to worry, oh my gosh what if Shadow spread a rumor that I was the one who kissed him!? 

"Y-yeah that was me." I nodded. 

"Whoa! You totally whipped his ass!! And then yesterday when you, y'know passed out, he carried you to the nurse like he was your little puppy so lost without you." 

"Huh!?" I choked on my pizza. 

"Whoa slow down there the pizza isn't that good is it?" He asked patting my back. 

"Ahem. No..." I shook my head after drinking my milk to clear my throat, "it's just the way you said that. I mean, I don't know why he even cared to bring me to the nurse anyway." 

"Because he knows you could totally own his ass." He said giving me a playful punch on the arm. 

"No I... I didn't want to fight with him; I just wanted him to leave me alone." I groaned pushing my tray away and put my head in my folded arms on the table. 

"Aw come on Trigster don't act like it’s a bad thing. Maybe he won't leave you alone but he won't push you around anymore." He said, "... Are you going to eat that??" 

I pushed my tray to him so he could have what I wasn't going to eat. 

"Thought the school food wasn't that good." I said watching him stuff his face in the pizza. 

"Their fish burgers are the worst and compared to their chicken fried steak this pizza with burnt cheese weird tasting sauce and crummy crust is like a gift from heaven." He said taking another bite. 

"Right." I shrugged and finished off my milk. But his words about shadow acting like he was lost without me floated in my mind. I tried to picture it, those always narrowed and glaring hateful eyes suddenly hopeless and his evil smirk turned into a frown. Nope. I couldn't picture it at all, his face was stuck in that heartless scowl and it didn't matter what emotion he felt it couldn't change. Unless of course he was blushing about being confronted about kissing me after the fight. 

I remembered the image of him pinning me against the wall in the hall way his face inches from mine and seeing the side of his tan muzzle go slightly pink with a drop of sweat at his forehead. 

What is wrong with me? Because suddenly instead of confused about it I thought it was kind of cute. After lunch I was making my way ups the stairs to my next class when a foot stuck out in the crowd and made trip and fall. I tumble down the stairs hitting my knee hard. I say at the bottom of the stairs trying to recover from the pain. 

"Whoa Sonic are you okay?" Silver came up to me. 

"Someone tripped me, I can't move. Aw man it feels like it’s broken." I whimpered. My first guess was it was Shadow's doing. But shadow was walking up the first flight of steps just now. I was almost amazed. He stopped for a moment looking at Silver and me his look speaking for him. 

"Uh, I tripped." I answered. 

"Yeah, what are you waiting for Shadow pick him up. You heard him he's hurt." Silver demanded as if ordering around a slave. Oh man of looks could kill Silver would have died a bloody slow death.
