*********

*Silver's POV*
"What do you mean you lost the letter?" Blaze slammed the locker shut. It was the morning after, and I was panicking. The stress was killing me, causing some of my quills to fall off. "You addressed it to him AND signed it by name. Are you crazy?" She raised her hands.

"I know!" I hit my head against the lockers. I tugged on one of my quills and whined when it came right off, then handed it to Blaze. Blaze sighed and rubbed my back.

"When did you realize you lost it?" She asked calmly this time.

"When I got home yesterday. I really hope I dropped it on the way home from school and not here on campus." I rubbed my face.

"Yeah... Let's hope you did. If anyone finds it... well, I don't want to think about what may happen." Her words only stressed me out even more. My legs gave in, and I fell on my knees, iut of pure embarrassment.

"I'm going to die. What if someone reads it? What am I going to do?" I pinned my ears down, my entire face the color of Knuckles and tears threatening to come out.

I want to go home. I want to go home and curl up under my blanket on my dark room and never show my face here again.

But I couldn't do that.

"Silver. Calm down. We will find the letter. Come on, get up." She grabbed my hand and tugged on it. "We have to go look for it now before the bell rings. We still have 30 minutes."

"R-Right." I took in a deep breath and stood up. "Yes. Everything's going to be okay. We will find the letter." I said, feeling better.

But that didn't last.

As soon as my eyes landed on Mephiles walking in through the front door, my body froze. Then, just as quick, it unfroze, and I quickly hid behind Blaze. My heart was racing. What if someone had already shown him the letter?

What if he read it?

What if he rejected me?

What if someone made copies and would post it all over the school?

I need to find that letter.

"We have to hurry!" I grabbed Blaze's hand again and ran away just before Mephiles could reach us. My heart was pounding against my chest, threatening to come out.

Blaze gasped but soon caught up and started running. We separated and started looking everywhere for it. I went back to the gym, maybe I had dropped it there. Maybe Mighty had it?

"Where is he?" I mumbled as I ran through the hallways, for once forgetting about the rules as I kept on running.

Only to be hit in the face with the reminder that the rules are there for a reason. I ended up bumping into someone and fell back. I hissed and groaned, then looked up, my ears perking up as soon as I realized who it was.

"I found you!" I gasped and quickly got back up. "Mighty. Please tell me something. Did you take the letter I had on me yesterday? Maybe it fell, and you picked it up." I asked in a rush. I held my hands in a pleading way, hoping that he had it. I knew at least Mighty wouldn't make fun of me.

"A letter?" Mighty asked, Espio grabbed my backpack from the floor and handed it to me. "No. I don't have any letter." My ears immediately lowered again. "Is everything okay? You're lucky you bumped into my back." I looked at what he meant and blushed yet again in embarrassment as I saw Espio plucking two quills out of Mightys shell.

"I am so sorry." I thanked Espio after I grabbed my backpack. "I just really want that letter back. But if you don't have it. Then I don't know who else could -"

"I have it." My body went cold, my heart stopped, and tears threatened to come out again. I very slowly turned around, a knot forming in my throat as I looked at Mephiles, holding the letter between two fingers and showing it to me.

"I-I -" I couldn't let the words out. A tear finally escaped my eyes and rolled down my muzzle. I quickly looked down, my ears pinned down, and I quickly ran away.

*Mephiles' POV*
"Silver! Wait!" I watched as Silver ran away, Blaze stopping right in front of me, then having the audacity to shove me. "What did you do to him?"

"Whoa. Blaze, he didn't do anything." Mighty interrupted as he grabbed her wrist to stop her from getting closer.

I glared at her but then decided to ignore her and ran after Silver. I had read the letter. And while I was still surprised, shocked even, I didn't like the way he reacted. He was crying. And for some reason, it hurt me.

"Where did Silver go?" I asked Shadow, who was getting scolded by Rouge once again.

"Seriously? Are you fighting with him again? That poor guy just wants to be your friend." Rouge turned to face me.

"Where. Did. He. Go?" I raised my voice. To my surprise, Shadow pointed towards the library. I nodded. "Thanks. Keep his little friend away." I ran and opened the door, then walked in.

I looked around, and I couldn't find him. I was about to leave when I finally caught a glimpse of him at the very corner of the library. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and looked down at the letter than walked as quietly as possible towards him.

"Silver?" This felt strange. I heard him sobbing, and he quickly tensed up and turned to face me when he heard my voice. He was crying. I stopped on my tracks when he looked at me, when his eyes met mine. It was as if he paralyzed me. I couldn't break away from this weird spell he had me on. He was crying. Why?

"I-Im so sorry. I didn't mean it. I- I- It was a stupid. I didn't mean to - I'm sorry." He kept rambling on and on the same thing.

"You don't mean it?" I finally broke free when he looked down. I looked at the letter again and then handed him back the letter. "I read it." I confessed, but I knew he already knew that.

"I'm sorry. I'll leave you alone. I promise you." He said, this time, unlike all the other times, he meant it. And I knew that.

"Stop crying." It was the only words that came out. "I don't like seeing you cry." I don't know what had gotten over me. But I hated seeing him cry.

"What?" He tensed up again when I got closer and cleaned his tear. He gasped and took a step back, bumping into the bookshelf.

"Watch out." I towered over him when I saw some books falling from the top, hitting my back instead of falling on him. My hands were on either side of his head.

Silver gasped and looked up at me, I looked down at him, our faces close to each other, to where I could feel his breath brush against my muzzle. It was a strange feeling. His eyes seemed to sparkle, and once again, I was stuck staring into his eyes. I couldn't break free, I couldn't control myself.

I couldn't control myself.

I couldn't control...

I couldn't...

"M-Mephiles...?" His lips brushed against mine, and I couldn't resist anymore. I leaned in the last little bit until they finally met.
