Ghost slowly slid down the side of the lockers, until she sat on her butt, on the cold hallway floor, taking a deep breath and sighing. She didn't know, at that moment whether she was discovered or not. She closes her eyes and lightly raps her head back against the metal locker behind he., sighing once agian.

"What am i gonna do..?" she asked herself silently. tightening the quill around her muzzle. "I was sent to do this job.. but it looks as if i've been found out already.."

Soon she was made to stop in mid thought and her ears perk as she hears footsteeps coming down the now empty hallway. She snapped her eyes open and turned her head towards the footsteps as they came closer and closer. She gulped lightly, hoping that it was not the principal, because for one, she was not in class, and two, she was wearing her quill over her muzzle again... he hated that.

Ghost slowly began to scramble up from where she was seated, before those footsteps slowed down and finally came to a stop. She sighed softly and rose her line of gaze to the one who had approached. Her eyes widen at who it was, bracing back agianst the lockers once again.

"S... Sonic..?" she stammered, as it looked as if the cobalt hedgehog had a stern look on.

Suddently, he smiled and extended a gloved hand out to her. "Hey Ghost; Need a hand?" he asked, accentuated by the scattered books around her. She shakily rose a hand to meet his own, and he effortlessly brought her up to her feet, helping her gather her books. She was unable to say anything, in light of her last confrontment, and just stared at him timidly. He began to walk her to her class.

"I saw Shadow come thorugh here earlier on," he started. "That faker wasn't giving you a hard time, was he?" She cringes, almost invisibly, but her pure white fur could not hide the rosy blush that crossed her cheeks. "Haha! Well don't you worry about him, that trouble maker. C'mon... i'll take you to class."

It was around that time that all her duties had all but passed through an open window, as she couldn't help but marvel at this carefree spritit of a hedgehog; as cool as has been heard, yet kind hearted like any other gentle-hearted mobian. And the only thing that she could think, that came to mind was, "He's so kind..."

(I think the art for the first one was better, blah x.X; )
