Hi!!!! It's been a long time, I'm so sorry for not updating anything! Um, I've had writers block for a pretty long time, k so…from here out, I'm just gonna wing it. I apologize if it starts to get bad or something, THIS WILL NOT BECOME A VAMPIRE ROMANCE! I PROMISE ON MY LIFE! (Sighs) ok, let's see how my old mind is doing (no yaoi hitomi, this story will have NO yaoi, you have other stories for that, leave this alone) aaaaand here we go!

And there he stood, in the dying light of the past day. I slide off of Thorn's back and stood facing him. He didn't turn around, but I knew he was aware of our presence.

"S-shadow?" I stuttered, trying to get the words to form, why was this bugging me so much, well, he was acting a little too friendly with me if he had a girlfriend. He turned just then, staring directly at me. I looked stunned into his eyes, it was as if they were holes in his head, allowing the light from behind him to emit from there depths, they seemed to glow, blood red.

"Yes, Mrs. Rose" again with the formality, seriously, who was this guy?

"I…um" I suddenly remembered that Thorn was still there, I wasn't sure if I wanted him to hear this, it was between shadow and I. I glanced at him and he seemed to get the message, he backed away, towards the end of the building and jumped down, I knew he wouldn't leave though; he didn't trust Shadow anymore than my friends did. "I…heard some things about you, and, I know that they probably aren't true…but-"

"If they probably aren't true than why are you asking?" he said, cutting me off. I looked up, ready to shoot him a death glare, but found him only a few feet in front of me. There was no calm in his eyes this time, only a cold expression, that I couldn't quiet call anger. I couldn't imagine him angry at me; I was just asking a question after all.

"I heard, someone say that you have a girlfriend" I said as quick as I could, not wanting to stutter again. It made me feel weak, I hated that feeling.

"And who told you this?" he asked calmly. This caught me off guard. I suddenly felt my mind go blank. Cream had said this, Cream, not that she wasn't reliable. But, she was 12. In a panic, I realized he had avoided the question.

"Is that true" he stared coolly at me, I could feel the blush blooming on my cheeks. When he didn't speak I knew he was trying to distract me. Well I refused. "Answer me!" then he did something even more strange, he smirked at me, and I thought my heart would leap out of my throat.

"A certain fawn likes to think of herself as my girlfriend, even though the most romantic encounter we have ever had was when she was a freshmen and we were paired for dancing in physical education." He said. I would have loved to see him dance, just not with who I think it was.

"So, it's not true?" I asked

"I have to say, I'm surprised that you would believe something like that, just because some giddy girl told you" he said, relaxing his stance and crossing his arms.

"You still haven't said it's not true" I stated, still a little weary.

"Alright, alright, it's not true." He said. "Happy?" he smiled. I smiled back, weakly

"Yes, thanks" I turned to call to Thorn but I felt him grab my arm. I turned back towards him, as best I could with my arm held captive, to find him a lot closer than expected, I made a little squeak of surprise. He smirked down at me,

"Why would you care If I were in a relationship with another student?" he said, as if he knew the answer, I was pretty sure he did.

"We'll if your gonna be testing me" I made an air quote sign with my free hand. "Then don't you think it would be kinda wrong if you were already in a relationship." I said back, trying to act as casual as possible with our bodies being so close. He seemed to think for a moment, then he nodded and released my arm.

"Is that all you wanted from me?" he asked, I nodded. "Then I bid you adieu" he bowed and kissed my hand. Then his frame seemed to become blurred and he suddenly wasn't standing there. I looked around in confusion.

"Don't be too surprised" Thorns voice startled me.

"Come again?" I asked.

"That disappearing trick, you'll learn it when you're a junior." He was standing on the edge of the building. "Ready to go back down?" he asked, giving me an ear to ear grin.

"I have a feeling this involves free falling?" I asked. He took my hand.

"Only for half the time" he said smiling, then jerked me over the edge with him, off of the six story building.

That night, because class started tomorrow, Blaze and I went to bed early. I found my dreams full of The ebony hedgehog, except he was always out of my reach, or one meter too far away. Blaze woke me up the next morning, and we both put on our uniforms and went to the dining hall for breakfast. Afterwards, we had our first classes, mine just happened to be chemistry, which isn't what you're thinking, no mixing chemicals or periodic tables of elements, chemistry was the 'fake name' for poisons, which scared the hell out of me when I walked into the class and saw a very huge snake in a very small container sitting on the teachers desk. This was a mix class of freshmen and sophomores. No surprise to see that fawn girl, with a few of her mob, repeating the class. I sat down near the middle of the class; there group to the left of me, and some other people to the right. It was a fairly small class.

I sat down, and was about to get my things out of my backpack when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see the Fawn staring all too sweetly down at me. She had her over coat off, and I could see her red bra through her shirt. Most likely on purpose.

"So hey, I hear you've been hanging out with Shad" she said, crossing her arms, making her breast look bigger. I hated the nick name, he probably did to. I nodded, giving her a hard stare. "Well, look, don't take this personally" I wouldn't "But if you think you have a chance, you'd better forget it, he's…well, not available." She said, glancing at her group, who snickered.

"As Far as I know, he's not attached, and what makes you think I want to be wit him anyway, he's like, four years older than me." That was actually true; I wasn't exactly interested in being his girlfriend. The fawn just smirked, and then she suddenly became serious and leaned in close.

"Look, honeys, all of the guys in the senior class are my territory, no other freshmen, and no other sophomores. All mine, got it?" her words were slowly filling with venom. "So if you think he likes you, even in the slightest bit, then you are like, so stupid. And you better get it through your head, none of those guys will ever like you, you look way to smart and you like, don't put out at all. He's just being nice to you, you know, and that's it" she stood up strait and smiled down at me. I gave her the blankest stare I could.

"You really are stupid little bitch, you know that?" I said in a monotone. She looked down at, glaring. She opened her mouth but then the door opened, and a sharp voice said.

"Take you seats, we begin now" the fawn went back to her chair and sat, the others following suit. I turned to the front to see that our teacher was a tall blue wolf. He had quick yellow eyes and a long scruffy tail. He began writhing things on the board, and my school year had begun.

Sorry for such a short chapter -.- I'll try to write more later, till then… by by, oh! R and R please!
