Chapter 16

Sonic smiled and waved at his friend

"See ya tomorrow!"Knuckles grinned at him before walking away

"He's a very polite kid.Anyway dearz, how is school going on?"Bernadette smiled softly at his son

Sonic sweat

"It's.. it's perfectly fine mom!In fact,I really enjoyed it there!"Sonic gave Bernadette a nervous smile

Bernadette notice the unusual behavior of his son.She smiled worriedly

"Okay then.But if there's any problems you can talk about if with me"She still smiled before watching his son climbed up on their stairs

Bernadette shook her head and walked back to her room

Sonic closed his door and sighed.He closed his eyes already thinking on how he should discuss the report.Thinking of how he should discuss it

The teacher sure will be throwing questions.He practiced not to stutter in front of their report.He looked at Knuckles' drawing.He smiled at the thought of his friends

Speaking of,this made Sonic think on what condition Amy is on now.He probably should leave a message at her

After that,he waited for her to text back.But there was nothing that he received.He turned off his phone.Sonic looked at his clock

6:04

That preparing for their report sure took long.As what he generally do after those works,he took out the book Tails gave him.He took it out of his bag and lay on his bed and began to read the book

After his reading,he do some research about some questions on his head.He couldn't find any book that can answer his questions

He looked at the type of phobias.For Sonic,reading wasn't enough.He was preventing himself from a great boredom that can occur when he's just sitting on and thinking on his bed.So why not spend your time reading?

Reading some facts about the phobias,looking at the pictures,Sonic determined himself what he has a fear of

For example;his acrophobia

Sonic shuddered thinking on the high buildings he had encountered.For him it was like he was going to fell on the ground. Sonic wasn't afraid to admit it

Another type of shark he discovered just yesterday;dunkleosteus.The one who surpassed the Megalodon.For Sonic this was a useful information.You never know when you need these

"Sonic! It's dinner"said Bernadette

Sonic heard his mother walking downstairs.When he opened his door and walked downstairs,he saw his father

"Dad?"asked Sonic whom is surprised

"How come your so early?"Sonic asked

"Since there's no paper works to do anymore,our boss allow us to go this early"Jules said

The duo head into the kitchen.They both sat down before starting to eat

After a good dinner,Sonic did everything he typically does before going to bed.He lay down on his bed and used a little time to read

-xXx-

Sonic stretched before looking at his clock

5:01

Sonic walked downstairs.Sonic was a feeling a little aflutter about their report.He couldn't help it.He sat down on the table and eat his breakfast.Bernadette was sure asleep

Sonic placed the dishes on the sink before heading into the shower

After everything,he clothed himself.He didn't want to her mother to be disturbed.Sonic was sure her mother was sleeping.When he walked outside,no sight of the bus station

4 minutes left before it arrives

Sonic patiently wait.He sat on the couch.Even though silence was eating the room,Sonic relaxed for a bit

He heard the bus parked in front of their house

"That was quick"He mumbled

He ride on the bus.His emerald eyes,searching for Tails.He didn't saw him.Two students already sat on their seat.He decided to take the seat beside -

Sonic sweat.Beside Shadow was the only seat available.He walked hastily.He didn't want the bus driver to be angered for keeping him waiting  on searching for his seat

He sat uncomfortably beside him.He shift uneasily beside him.Sonic felt his gaze on him.Sonic gulped.He didn't dare to look back at him

Sonic fidget with his fingers

He heard Shadow chuckled at his behavior

"Why so anxious?Blue?"Shadow whispers causing him to shiver

Shadow laughed quietly

"I want you to enjoy this moment.Just...relax"Shadow chuckled

Sonic wished they were already at their destination.He regret the decision of sitting beside him

Shadow leaned closer at him.Sonic shook violently

Anxiety was swallowing him.He was dreading of what he might do to him

The bus stopped.Sonic secretly sigh in relief before he quickly stood up and walked hastily towards the school gates

He saw Knuckles waiting for him.He smiled at himself

"Where's Tails?"He asked

"I don't know.Wait...he wasn't with you?"Knuckles asked

"Yeah"said Sonic before they walk inside their room

"What part am I going to read again?"Knuckles asked

"At the first part.In our introduction.Then after that, I'll read the rest"

"Alright.And then the explanation for the picture is mine too, right?"Knuckles asked unsure if it was correct

"Yes"Sonic said

"Today,we have P.E class right?"Sonic asked

"Yep.It's Friday"Knuckles reminded him

"I'm sure this day's gonna be vibrant"Knuckles chuckled
