Cold Chills

Chapter 3

I awoke to sunlight streaming through my bedroom window, dousing the room with light. I turned to look at the clock, realising how much I had overslept, I propelled myself out of my bed, threw on my clothes, and darted down the stairs, not stopping as I unhooked my bag, slamming the door behind me, and continuing to rush along the road to school. The rough uneven pavement wasn't the wisest place to run, as I soon found out. My foot caught a small rise in the path causing me to fall face first, I slowly rose from the ground into a kneeling position, checking my face to make sure I was ok. My head felt like it was on fire, causing me to let out a hissing sound from between my teeth as an intense pain flooded through my knees and forehead.

"ouch" I sighed as tried to arise from the ground, but failing my attempt. As I sunk back down I noticed a shadow falling to my left, turning to see who it was, I almost fell backwards as I was greeted by a smirk from a certain ebony male.

"Need a hand?" He questioned reaching out his hand and even though a small smirk crept over is face his tone was still icy cold, somewhat disturbing.

"Thanks, but no thanks" I replied in a tone to match his, shocking him slightly and causing him to retract his hand as well as his smile.

I rose from the ground successfully before dusting myself off and starting to rush to school again, being a bit more careful about where I was placing my feet.

Shadow matched my pace with ease as I ran, making me want to hurry faster, keen to get away from this male, still confused about the happenings of the day previous.

Yet once again he matched my hurried pace with ease,

"Do you mind?" I huffed in a somewhat annoyed tone,

"No" he replied, smirking for a mere second before reverting to his cold state.

"Well I do!" I snapped, jumping infront of his path, causing him to stop abruptly, yet his balance was uncanny.

"You think you can just waltz into this town, into my school, and kiss and flirt with who ever you like and think people will just accept it! Well I'm sorry Casanova but it doesn't work like that around here! Got it?" and with that I stormed off in the direction of the school once more, before being stopped by Shadow like I had stopped him a matter of seconds ago.

"How dare you speak to me like that! I'll have you know-" He snapped before being interrupted by me,

"Meh, blah, blah, blah, that's all I hear, I told you straight and if you don't like it, that isn't my problem! Like I said you can't just waltz in here, and be all Dr. Jekyll then Mr Hyde whenever you feel like it! If anything it totally isn't fair on people who are trying to be your friend."

"DO NOT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!" He growled, but I was quick to respond,

"I SHALL TALK TO YOU HOWEVER I SEE FIT, YOU SEEM TO THINK PEOPLE HAVE TO DO THINGS FOR YOU! BUT YOU'RE NOTHING SPECIAL! JUST SOME EMO KID WIH NO FRIENDS!"

And his face just seemed to snap… I'm not really sure what happened, but I knew I might have gone a little over the top, but I mean the guy just thinks its appropriate to kiss me for no reason, when I've only known him two days, surely I was allowed to say something!?

"I-I …" he stuttered, but not in an apologetic manner, more like he was so angry he wasn't sure what to say or he just couldn't say it all at the same time and was trying to pace himself.

The weird thing was, although I was utterly confused about what the current situation was, I just wanted to kiss him right there, and as cheesy as it sounds, I really would.

We just stood there for a second, staring at each other, his blazing crimson eyes, a mixture of deep emotions, like cryptic mysteries, waiting to be solved, but I was no detective and although I knew he was angry, what type of anger was it? What else was he feeling? I wanted to know so badly, and it was a rather odd sensation.

Our quills swayed in the gentle breeze, which was odd for this time of year. Hours seemed to pass as we stood, not sure what to say to one another, which was very unlike me if I'm quite honest.

After what seemed like an eternity, I started to turn away, finally managing to release myself from his crimson stare,

"Wait…" An icy tone called, I turned my head to look at him from the side,

"Meet me in the park? After school?" He asked although it sounded more like a demand or an order in his arctic voice, and although after all that had just happened I should have been utterly disgusted and refused I still nodded gently before hurrying off towards the school once more leaving the ebony hedgehog standing in a confused matter of thought.

School passed quickly as I drifted in and out of thought much to Cream's annoyance. The ebony male never turned up at school, much to my relief, although I was still worried about what would happen tonight, it hadn't exactly been the friendliest conversation I had ever had.

As I began to walk home to drop off my things, I was deep in though, more worry than anything else. I was regretting I had ever said anything, regretting I had even looked at him for the first time, that windy day. 'just calm down, why are you so worried? Its not like anything's going to happen, urgh famous last words…'.

After dropping my things off, I slowly walked toward the pastel green park, not keen to arrive any time soon.

The sun set was gently tinting the park a light orange, making everything seem so soft, but not the icy expression on the ebony hedgehogs face. He looked up to acknowledge the fact I was there, and continue to stare into the horizon, he looked so…so different, like he wasn't the same as us, the normal people, and deep down I knew he was, no matter how much he tried to ice away, he was just a normal person deep down, same feelings. Same heart… I carefully walked over to where he was standing, his eyes colder than I had ever seen, and an unreadable expression over his face.

"You came." He simply stated, shattering the glass like silence.

"Yes, why wouldn't I?"

He tilted his head slightly to face me,

"Don't act so innocent, you know as well as I do that you don't want to be here" his cold tone freezing me in place, before he returned to facing the horizon.

"That's not true" I whispered, looking at my feet. I wasn't lying, I wanted to be there.

"You take everything for granted you know" The ebony male stated, still concentrating on something on the horizon,

"What do you mean? And you can't talk, people want to be your friend yet you push them away and then pull them back whenever you feel like it…" I scowled before returning to a whisper like tone "You're lucky I really did come, but I guess it shows that I'm determined to be your friend, if nothing else…" I couldn't help but say it, and it was true, for some reason I couldn't help but be interested in him, and want to know about him, or maybe I wanted more than that, maybe I was being ungrateful. I'm so confused.

The male closed his eyes, obviously in deep thought, the atmosphere was calm, no anger like before. Why did everything have to be so confusing, but I suppose life would be boring if it wasn't, but still… As I stood watching the male, his eyes still closed, facing the horizon. I couldn't help myself, and no matter what I did I couldn't resist the pull of my instincts, no matter what I did…

I kissed him, his soft lips meeting mine, and although I could tell he was shocked by what was happening, he didn't pull away, he gently kissed back. I felt his arms wrap around me as we went deeper, his arctic aura just seeming to disappear in the warm glow of the sun. As we came apart, I suddenly flushed a deep garnet against my pink fur, realising what I had just done, but he seemed no different, apart from a large smirk that fell across his jet black face, although I could have sworn his cheeks were tinted a shade of deep pink, although it could have just been the sun.

"Well, urm… I guess that makes me a hypocrite doesn't it?" I giggled, smiling at the obsidian male.

"Well I guess it does" he replied, in the warmest tone I heard from him yet,

"You do realise how fast this is all happening?" I stated,

"Yes…are you complaining" his tone starting to drop once more.

"Did I say that?" I giggled once more, before the mood could drop back to the arctic zone.

I looked back towards the horizon where Shadow had been staring, only to realise how dark it had become.

"Oh sugar, it's really late, I've got to go!" I rushed, beginning to run towards my house only to be stopped by a hand around my own.

"Let me walk you home, it's dark and there's all sorts of weirdo's out at this time" He suggested casually although it really did sound like a demand, even if he was trying.

And I wished that walk home would never end. 3
