SonAdow High School Life

The Day I Die

Tails got out from school early, (being an 8 year old genius he works at a collage level and has half a day to do other things if he wishes). He came over to keep me company. We were playing a game of trouble when a knock on the door was heard. 

"I'll get it Sonic!" Tails quickly got up before I had the chance and ran to the front door. Silver came in holding a few books and papers. 

"Hey Sonic! This is all your school work you missed yesterday and today. The teachers told me to bring it over to ya so you won't fall behind." He set the books and papers on the table in front of the couch. 

"Ugh great... Thanks silver." I sighed looking at my pile of catch up to-do. 

"Hey is that Trouble? Can I play!?" Silver sat in his knees pulling the board game more in center. 

"Sure why not." I shrugged as we reset our pegs back to home base. 

"Hey do any of you have any idea what Shadow does outside of school?" I asked as I popped the dice bubble rolling a 5. 

"I hear that he works." Silver said, "not a surprise, he is a senior." Silver shrugged watching Tails pop the bubble next. 

"Shadow? You mean the guy with the red stripes and eyes?" Tails asked moving his peg. 

"That's him." I nodded watching the bored and planning my next move after silver began to reach for his peg to move. 

"Yeah he's a G.U.N agent." Tails said. 

Silver and I both looked up in amazement. 

"He works for the G.U.N!?" I repeated. 

"Whoa!! Sonic you took on a freaking military agent! And beat him!!" Silver almost blew back from excitement. 

"What do you mean?" Tails tilted his head. 

Silver quickly went to explaining about my fight I had with Shadow. 

"You beat him in a fight?" Tails looked at me, "but he's like the G.U.N's best of the best. Like undefeated weapon." 

My ears went back, Shadow working for the GUN made a lot of sense now. His heartless attitude, his cold stair in his eyes, the lethal fights he produces. But still... If he is meant to protect why is he being such a terrorist to me!? What did I ever do to him to deserve it!? A side from that they think I actually beat him in the fight... 

"Sonic are you okay?" Tails asked suddenly his hand held into mine. 

I was remembering our fight and how it ended, not in a loss or a win but in an awkward tie. 

"Your face is all red and you look sorta spaced out." Silver said trying to get my attention back. Knowing my face was red made me blush even harder in embarrassment. 

"I-I'm ok!" I said shaking my head quickly. Should I tell them what happened? I know I could tell Tails, but I don't think Silver could handle knowing. He might try and push me and shadow together or something stupid and crazy like that. I decided to just keep it hush. 

"Why did you want to know about Shadow?" Tails asked sitting back down. 

"Oh I... I don't know, I've been running into him a lot lately..." I said. 

After the game Silver left for his house and Tails stayed a bit longer to help with my homework. Mom came home as well as dad and started dinner. 

After dinner which I spent eating on the couch, as well as sleeping because mother insisted I don't use my bad foot until tomorrow, I lied there in thought.
