Sonic's POV 

Zarina asked me the stupidest question. And unfortunately, Shadow has to notice.

"Hey Shaddy," Zarina said, as she pulled out a piece of paper, "What do you think of this?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed her give a piece of paper to Shadow. It had a drawing on it. I noticed his face as he looked at it. 

"Uuuuh, it's good?" 

I looked over Shadow's shoulder. It was a picture of me as a cat, sleeping. Zarina quickly snatched the piece of paper away.

"YOU JERK!" I shouted as I launched my self over the table towards her. Her eyes wides in terror.

I was pulled back suddenly by Shadow.

"Faker! Calm down!" Snapped Shadow, "You're scaring people! And causing more attention to yourself!"

People were looking at me oddly. The Commons were silent now too.

(A/N: The Commons is the Cafeteria, where the stage is, and where people can pass to different classes.)

I turned away from Shadow and blushed. This was embarrassing.

The Commons erupted back into noise and activity.

Zarina glared at me and stuck her tongue out at me. 

"Uhh...Sparky?" Alex Asked, breaking the silence at our table

"Don't call me that Alex, and Yes?" Sparks responded.

"How exactly are we going to win the money?"

"..."

"That's what I thought." Alex said sarcastically.

"HEY! I have an idea! A great one at that!" Sparks snapped confidently.

"And What is this, oh-so-amazing idea?"

"A duet of course!"

And I thought Katlyn was a nut.

As the two bickered, the rest of us finished our lunch and headed out into the courtyard. Suddenly I remembered that Zara wanted to talk to me.

"Zara," I said to her, "What were you going to say earlier?"

Zara looked at me oddly for a second, then smiled. 

"I was going to tell you about the competition, you know, the one for One Hundred dollars?"

Oh yeah. That one.

"You should enter Zara!" I said, "You could win!"

She shook her head. "I'd rather not."

I just shrugged. Oh well.
