Black Shadow's (POV)

As I walked back down the staircase, now in my back in black jeans with a dark blue hoodie with the cover over my head. I made my way back to the other side of the school, heading towards my next class which was shop. I don't actually mind this class, because I can build stuff, all sorts of stuff. As I was thinking about all the "lovely" things I could make I accidently bump into someone. Normally I wouldn't care to look to see who it was, but the sound of a multiple papers falling all over the ground and a voice saying,

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't see you there. O, man I am going to be in so much trouble if I don't get this to the teacher break room fast." It sounded like a girl and at the end I could hear the beginning of her starting to cry. I thought for a second and decided that some goodness won't kill me. So I got down on my knees and started collecting the papers. I got to say there was a lot of them, by the time she realized I was helping her she tried to stop me. "You don't need to help me it is my job not yours." I pretend not to hear her and continue on getting the papers. By the time I collect them all I look at her and say,

"It may be your job, but that doesn't mean I can't help you. Besides I did bump into you, and I have enough to help you get to this papers to the teachers' lounge. I think I have to pass by there anyway." I stood up and starting walking away with the papers. I could hear her footsteps as she came beside me. "O, I forgot to ask this, but who are you?"

I looked over to her to see a small blush on her face, "My name is Swift Fall, I work as a teacher assistant so I have to get all the papers they would need and get it to the teachers'  lounge." She looked down, it seemed she was having an off day or something. "I mean I try to help them, but most of the time I am late because I try to run so fast that the papers fly away and I have to try to catch them or something else happens." I work one of my hands free and rub the top of her head, she seems a bit shocked given she froze stiff. I paid it no mind and said,

"I know how it feels to want to do your best and fail. I know it hurts and makes it harder to try again." I looked down at her ,"but you can't give up. Besides if you pace yourself a bit more instead of running blindly you won't make a mistake." I took my hand off her head and continued down the hall. I didn't hear her footsteps for a second or two, but then I could hear her.  We continued to walk in silence for the rest of the trip to the lounge, but it was a comfortable silence. I could tell she was happy and a bit more determined to do better next time. When we reached the door, I stopped and turned to her and handed her the paper and backed away from the door.

"What are you doing?" she asked with her slightly tilted.

"Well, I am heading to my next class, you are here to deliver those papers and I think you will on time this time." I responded with a little wink, telling her to go along with it. I think she understood, because she blushed and winked back. I continued on my way and looked back to she here enter the lounge with a happy smile on her face. Now with that little side trip out of the way I finally made my way to shop class which was about four minutes away, and I had to be there in five, so it was no rush really. That is what I would like to saw if I didn't see a certain rainbow haired girl searching the hall I had to go down. "Just my luck." I said to myself as I turned around and took another hallway, it would get me to the class, but I would have to jog or run.  So I decided to run, being my size people opened up a path for me and four minutes later I was in shop class right before the bell rang.

The best thing about shop is that it is an elective meaning I doubt that I would run into any of those girls I managed to piss off. Unfortunately for me as if fate was against me I saw the country girl rush in as soon as the bell rang, just barely making it on time. What is even worse is that there was only one open seat left and that was right next to me. Luckily my hoodie covered enough of my face that she couldn't tell it was me. She walked right next to me and sat down giving out a loud sigh of relief,

"Man, I was sure lucky, I made it here on time. I don't think the teach would believe me if I told me I was varmint hunting." I shrugged my shoulders in response. "I me how hard is to find one person that is so tall and plain mean in such a nice place like this." I shrugged again. "This is going to be a long class, I can feel it. "You don't talk much partner." I nodded. She continued "Well there are ain't nothing wrong about that, I got a brother." I was overjoyed to see the teacher walk in the front of the classroom.

"My name is Iron Beam, I will be your shop teacher. The person next to you will be your partner for the rest of the year, so get along." "Shit, shit, shit. This is either going to be bad or very bloody. "Now if there isn't one going to complain I what each group to make a bench with the material provided. I want it long, strong and decorated somehow, someway. Now Get TO IT." With that started what I thought would be hell for me, surprisingly enough I was enjoying myself. I would get the lumber and mark it and she would cut it and I would hold it in place while she nailed it. By the time we were finished building it, it was better than anything you would buy. The only thing left was to paint it.

"Well partner, what should we paint it?" asked country. I pulled out my phone and pulled up a picture of a farm and showed it to her. "Well now that is a good idea, but I don't think I can paint something like that." I didn't say a thing and just grabbed and brush and some paint and got to work. "You going to do it yourself" she asked and like usual I simply nodded. She didn't say anything till I was finished, I had to admit it turned out better than I thought. I didn't even mind the bit of paint on my hoodie. When the teacher came around to check on us he was taken back by our work.

"Well now this is some fine craftsmanship. I have to say the way you painted the farmhouse and the rows of trees is amazing." I might have said something if it wasn't for the fact that it would blow my cover. I just pushed the country girl in front of the teacher and grabbed my stuff and left before she had time to bring attention to me. I kept walking till I came to and empty hall way and sat down against the wall.

"Man that was brutal, and I have to do that every day for the rest of the year." I was tired I didn't notice the rainbow girl make her why up to me. I noticed her when she got with three feet on me, I knew I couldn't run so I just waited for her.

"Well, look what I got here. I think it is time you and I settled our scores with me beating you to a pulp." she sounded so confident in herself. I thought of the best way to through her off balance and have some fun with her.

"Well, I rather not have hit someone as cute as you" I said trying to sound honest while looking her in the eyes. "I mean I just loved the shade of red you turned when you got embarrassed." At this point she was a deep shade of red and was slowly backing up, not knowing what to do. This was something she wasn't expecting I bet.

"Wha ... what are you saying?" she asked. I just walked closer to her and closer till she was up against the wall. I bent my head down and whispered in her ear,

"I am saying is that I want you." I could feel her body temperature rise as she was beginning to sweat. "I want to make you feel great." I whispered again as my hand gently cupped her chin and brought her into a kiss. I say her eyes go wide, then close in bliss. As soon as  backed away she slide against the wall unto the ground. "That was electric Rainbow, see you around."  With that I walked away, satisfied with my handy work.
