Sonic Supernatural High Reboot Chapter 6

Chapter 6

   The next few days were a further introduction to the student’s new classes:  English, various types of math, Physical Education, various sciences and electives that they all had chosen from. Soon the chaos of the first few days of school was dying and bringing a little bit of order to the school. Tails was still worried about what might happen to him and perfecting his potion. Soon it was the second week of October and Halloween was just around the corner.

“Hey Tails, is your potion done yet? You said you’d probably finish it in October.” Sonic asked as he sat down across from Tails in the cafeteria. Sonic dug into a large chilidog while Tails picked at his spaghetti and meatballs.

“Tails, are you okay? How is your potion going?” Sonic repeated.

“Oh!” Tails snapped back into reality. “Almost, I’m thinking next week.”

“Mmm Hmmm. Okay, maybe you’ll cheer up after. I don’t like seeing you all freaked out most of the time. I’m worried about you.”

Sonic finished his chilidog and threw the plate and napkin in the garbage.
“This place still doesn’t stick with me. I wish I could leave.” Sonic said.

“Remember, until we turn 18 we have to be in some sort of school.”

“Yeah but it just became mandatory for anthros. I don’t want to be here always, just maybe when I’m bored or just want to know something.” Sonic laid his head on his arms and sighed.

“I kind of like this. It makes me better prepared for when I grow up. I plan on becoming a professional engineer.” Tails smiled, dreaming about that future.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do and I don’t care. Just living life is what I want to do.”

“Sonic you mooch off of me.”

“Yeah but you’re my friend and I don’t have a house.”

Tails sighed and threw his spaghetti away.

“Tails, why didn’t you eat?” Sonic asked.

“I’m not hungry Sonic.”

   The bell rang and the lunchroom cleared out. Sonic and Tails separated. Tails was headed to his English 1 class and Sonic was headed to World History. Sonic strolled down the east wing and arrived at Shadow’s World History room. That room was also almost pitch black. Sonic entered through the doorway while the ghosts flew through the walls to their seats. Sonic’s eyes slowly adjusted to the minimal light there was in the classroom but just not before he bumped into a desk and tripped over a chair leg. Sonic tumbled onto the floor while people just walked around him.

“This room is to dang dark. He realizes there are people who can’t see as well in the dark as he can right?” Sonic mumbled to himself as he used the chair to pull himself up.

   The room slowly gained volume as more students piled in and started complaining about the class and/or talking amongst themselves with their friends. Sonic felt around for his desk and sat down as his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. He got out his notebook and pencil, ready for the boring lectures and massive amounts of homework Shadow would give if anyone pissed him off, which happened almost every week. He noticed Knuckles across the room trying to crush a fly in his fists if he could catch it. He kept missing due to the minimal light. Suddenly the classroom door was slammed shut and everyone froze.

“Why does he keep it so dark in here?” an unfamiliar voice asked from the darkness. Lamps and candles were turned on and lit, illuminating the classroom and showing the students who was talking. A Texas horned lizard was seen standing at Shadow’s desk.

“Hello, my name is Mr. Tex. Since Mr. Robotnik is busy with something else on campus I will be your substitute teacher for today.”

“What could he be busy with today?” Sonic asked himself.

“No Shadow today? WOOOO!” some kids cheered.

“Settle down. Mr. Robotnik is helping with the school’s bi-yearly blood drive.” Mr. Tex explained “He will be back tomorrow.”

Some kids groaned while Sonic leaned his face on his knuckles. Of course, school staff can volunteer to help with events or services but Shadow was supposedly banned from all blood drives years before.

Somewhere else inside the school nurses were carrying out blood donations while the staff volunteers watched the line and supervised the students. Shadow hung out behind the curtain on the stage and “supervised” from there.

Kris and her brother Ky were walking past the area closed off for the blood drive.

“Ky you know that you aren’t supposed to be here.” Kris warned.

“I’m in control this time, nothing will happen I promise.” Ky assured her.

“Hey did you hear Shadow has a substitute today?”’ Kris asked.

“Well yeah, he’s never there on blood drive day.”

“But he’s banned.”

Ky pushed his hair out of his face. “You really think he’d listen to that?”

Kris looked at the ground. “Well…no…”

“Exactly.”

Ky stopped to look and he spotted Shadow peeking out of the curtain.
“See? He’s right there behind the curtain on the stage.” Ky pointed out.

Kris shook her head and sighed. “Ky, if they find you here you’re going to get in a lot of trouble.”

“Hey, you’re banned too. Remember that episode you had at it during sophomore year?”

Kris’ eyes glew icy blue and she growled. “Don’t remind me of that.”

Ky laughed. “All the more reason for me to call you Baby Sister. Haaaaa~”

It didn’t take long for the nurses and staff to notice the missing blood bags.
