If you look closely, the shading on the cover of this looks different from my usual. That's cause I saved it as a .jpeg. I almost always save it as a .pdf otherwise. :) UPDATES MONDAYS AT AROUND 12:50 Eastern tme FIRST: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1267225567/ PREV: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1267225567/ NEXT: N/A yet
Shadow was quietly tapping his desk and zoning out when the teacher came in. An old gray fox woman mobian sashayed into the classroom with a short lavender dress. :Ah, one of those I see. Probably gonna cut those rich brats miles of slack.: Her wrinkled lavender lipstick moved as she spoke. “Hello, class–” Right then, a blue hedgehog burst into the room, looking frazzled. “Sorry I'm late! Am I late?” :Oh, that hedgehog again.: Shadow didn't care much for him, but at least he wasn't one of those RICH kids. “No, you're not late. But punctuality is very important. This is a warning. Prepare earlier.” Shadow looked closer. The hedgehog looked a bit beaten, a trace of blood on his lip. :Probably those bullies got him, too. I can see why.: In fact, the hedgehog looked even more awkward than Shadow was, which earned the blue guy a bit of rare sympathy from him. The blue hedgehog sat next to a two-tailed fox two desks away from Shadow. And when everybody was settled, the teacher got up and clapped briefly. “Now we're gonna introduce ourselves and say a fact. I'm Ms. Pansy, and I used to work for a magazine.” Of course. She pointed at the other side of the classroom to an obviously privileged student. “You?” “I'm Taroy the Lemur. My parents pay for this school and I'm a varsity basketball player.” “Very nice!” The teacher praised. She then pointed next to him. “You.” “Oh- uh- ! Hey, um, I'm Amy Rose! Yeah! Um, I really love flowers, and kittens–” “–Next.” Amy looked slightly crushed. Shadow narrowed his eyes. I see how this is… Shadow did nothing but carefully observe the next people going and how the teacher treated them. “Ed the Griz!” “Tangle the Lemur!” Then the teacher suddenly pointed to Shadow. “You.” About 20 pairs of eyes stared into him. He stood and acted unfazed. “Shadow,” he said coolly. Now for the fact. Cuhrap. He wasn't gonna let the whole world know he liked poetry. He stumbled for a fake. Oh! “I play rock–” “Next.” Shadow glared into the back of Ms. Pansy’s head as she turned away. :If I knew she was gonna interrupt me like that, I wouldn't have answered!: The “cool” kids looked at him like he had something they wanted. The azure kid talked. “I’m Sonic the Hedgehog. No matter what, I’ll always help those who need it–” “Next.” :At this point, the teach is trying to interrupt the students she doesn't like.: “I’m Miles, but you can call me Tails. I’m a techie–” “Next?” Shadow winced when Tails said the word “techie.” He was setting himself up for bullying. That and the fact that he looked so young. Maybe even 12. But at least Sonic seemed nice to him. Before Shadow knew it, the teacher tapped the board. “Now, ELA, we will discuss what we'll learn for the year.”
