Scourge's morning had been horrible, he couldn't focus during his first two classes after what happened it Form earlier today, and the first chance he had gotten he had gone to the bathroom and went into one of the stalls and threw up in the toilet from the utter shock about what he had seen

when he finished he wiped his mouth and flushed the toilet, before grabbing his bag and going out of the stall and went to the sinks to wash his hands, but he was greeted with another shock, a white hedgehog stood before him, blood on his wrists and a blade in his right hands

"H-hey you shouldn't do tha-" Scourge was cut off as he went to grab the other by the shoulder, but he hand went through, making his eyes widen and the other to turn and look at him with empty topaz eyes

He retracted his hand and it felt numb for a few moments as he stared at the white hedgehog before him

"H-How can you see me?" The other stuttered as they looked at Scourge with fear

"I-I" Scourge just felt sick again as his face paled like it had when he encountered Fleetway that morning

"Most people ignore me when they see me in the mirrors, then again they've always ignored me" The white ghost muttered as he turned away "I don't blame them, i was a waste of their energy"

Scourge was silent for a moment as he watched the other glide the blade across their wrist and watched the blood pour out and drip to the floor

"H-hey...err j-just because a few people ignore you, doesn't mean you should-" He was cut off as the white hedgehog turned back to him

"I'm dead" He said "So i don't feel pain...even though i want to...It's something only the living have the privilege of having"

"But-" Scourge tried his best to think of a reason why the other should stop, but the bell rung once again through his thoughts

"You should go to class, I'm not worth your time, life disappears in the blink of an eye" The other said, Scourge remained silent as he looked at the ghost one last time before heading to his next class, he was still pale as he waited in line, no one really spoke to him and he hadn't made any friends, since he figured Knuckles was only trying to be nice to him, since he was the new kid

But his mind stayed on what he had witnessed this morning and during lunch, he'd met Fleetway, who had called him cute and was shocked that he could see the other and the ghost that was yet to say their name, that had been bleeding even though they were already dead, he felt as if he was going insane by this point

"Okay, calm down Scourge...it's just...it's just a crazy day where your seeing fucking dead people!" Scourge thought as he and the rest of his class was told to enter the classroom

The class in general had a seating plan and he was put in the empty spot at the front left of the classroom, he was sat next to platinum hedgehog who was excited to meet him

"Hi! My names Hyper! What's your's?" Hyper asked happily as he smiled at Scourge

"Erm...I'm Scourge" He stated as he looked at the hedgehog next to him, almost afraid that he too was a ghost

"Hyper!" the teacher snapped, he was a hedgehog that looked a lot like the hedgehog that showed him around the school

"Sorry Mister Dark!" Hyper apologised with a smile as he turned away from Scourge, who just sweat dropped as he realised this hedgehog next to him talked a lot and made a lot of noise

during the lesson things seemed normal and calmed Scourge's nerves for the first time that day, he was still freaked about everything, but as the bell went for lunch again he went somewhere quiet and tried to relax as he waited for his final class of the day to start, and when it was eventually time, he did the same as all his other classes that day, as the class dragged on he found himself thinking about the two ghosts he encountered

"Why are they still here if their dead?" He thought as he wrote down the notes off of the bored "I mean shouldn't they be in like heaven or something?" his brows furrowed as he continued thinking "How did they even die? I think the one in the bathroom might have...." he stopped there as his thoughts were interrupted by the bell

"Okay class, I'll see you tomorrow, get home safely" His teacher said as they started packing up his computer and all the cords as the class stacked the chairs and walked out of the classroom

Scourge was the last to leave the classroom as he went to put his things away, he had grabbed his phone out of his pocket and looked through and found a message from his father

"You okay walking home today? Some things come up and I wont be able to pick you up today" Is what his father had sent, Scourge sighed

"Yeah it's fine, I'll see you later Dad" He replied and put his phone away as he grabbed his bag he had just put his things into and started walking to the front gate and towards his house
