Friend
A small sigh escaped his lips as he lay on his couch. Silence along with darkness surrounded him. Edd sat up and glanced around, he must have fell asleep on accident. Wiping his eyes, he stood and made his way to his kitchen. Turning the light on, he winced from the brightness. "Damn light…" He grumbled to himself as he opened the fridge. An apple would be nutritious, but a doughnut seemed more appetizing. Grabbing a chocolate covered doughnut, he closed the door with his foot as he headed to his room. Stepping over junk scattered on his floor, he fell down onto his equally messy bed.
He snatched his phone and flipped it open, "No new messages. Huh. What did you expect Eddward?" He asked himself as he bit into the food. "No one cares about you, deal with it." He told himself before looking at the time. Five in the morning. He minds as well stay up; school was just in a few hours. He ran a hand through his messy hair and sighed. "What in the hell am I even doing with my life?" He asked himself.
He then laughed, not caring how loud he was being at this time. No one was here to complain, no one was ever here to complain. He didn't care, not at all. Except for swimming, he didn't really do anything. His life was boring.
Finishing off his food, he rolled on his bed so he was lying on his side. Eyes scanning over all the posters on his walls, he smirked at his new band poster. It had taken a bit to get that one. His thoughts were interrupted when his phone began buzzing. Snatching it, he realized it was just his alarm. "Fucking A…" He grumbled as he got up. "Wooh…"
Stripping out of his pajamas, he headed to his bathroom. He hadn't given a second thought to walking around stark naked, didn't really care if anyone saw either. He smirked as he looked into the full length mirror attached to the wall inside of the bathroom. "Lookin good, just as always." He grinned before blasting the hot water on. That's how he liked it, hot enough to turn your skin red. Jumping in, he did his usual routine. He washed his hair with his strawberry scented shampoo, then his body. The usual.
Getting out, he dried his body off with a large, fluffy towel. Wrapping it around his waist, he stepped out and walked back to his room. Getting dressed in his usual clothes, he added his accessories before adding the layer of eyeliner he wore every day. "Still good looking."
Looking at the time, he noticed how much time passed. Putting his signature hat on, he grabbed his messenger bag. Eyes scanning around, he noticed a book next to his bed. Picking it up, he shoved it in his bag. It was overdue, minds as well return it. "Now… time to return to hell." He said to himself before heading off to school on foot.
Once arriving, he walked passed others with his usual frown. No one spoke to him and he was fine with that. Remembering the book, he made his way to the library. He arrived earlier than usual today so he had a lot of time. Stepping inside, he pulled the book out. Handing it to the librarian, he cracked a small smile. "Thanks." He then headed over to the cases to find a new one to read.
Looking at multiple titles, he pulled out a fictional romance. Walking back over to the librarian, he got his book checked out. Glancing up at the clock, he groaned. He still had time and he definitely didn't want to go to class early. Even if it was study hall, he hated the teacher and some of the students in it. "You care if I stay here during my study hall?" He asked, noticing her nervous look. Did he really look so scary that a teacher was all francy?
"Yes…" She said softly, "Who is your teacher?"
Edd smiled, she was just shy. He told her all she needed to know before heading over to one of the tables. Dropping his stuff down, he took a seat and opened his book. His eyes began moving as he read the page.
"Hey Ms. Hewl." Came a friendly voice.
Edd's eyes flicked up to see who intruded the library's silence. His eyes narrowed at the red head and his geeky appearance, he recognized him from somewhere. One of his classes' maybe… he didn't really pay attention to be honest. Shrugging, he continued reading.
"Alright Kevin, I need you to put all these books back." The librarian said softly as she pointed over to the cart.
Kevin. That was his name. Edd looked back up and watched the said boy smile and begin to do his job. What was he? A library aid? He watched as Kevin wheeled the cart towards him, his frown deepened. Maybe he could scare him away like the others.
He noticed the red head look over to catch his stare, his expression showed confusion. Not fear. Edd huffed and looked back to his book; he just couldn't concentrate on this damn thing. Slamming it down impatiently, he shoved it back in his bag. The first bell rang and he cursed silently. Too late to go to class now. Tugging his undone homework, he laid it down in front of him. He hated work, one reason he never did it. What else could he do though?
"Do you need help on that?"
Edd shot his head to the side to see red hair and emerald eyes. "Don't you have work to do?" He asked before looking over at the empty cart. "How in the hell?" He asked surprised. His frown returned when the other chuckled. "What's so funny, Kevin?" He asked, dragging the other's name out.
Kevin blushed lightly, his eyes darting to the side. "Sorry…" He apologized before looking at the paper. "That's the homework that's due today though, right? I can help you with it if you want. I have nothing better to do. No one ever comes to the library this early."
"I can see why." Edd grumbled before sighing. "Sit." He ordered, smirking when the other instantly did so. He rested his cheek on his propped up hand. "Why in the hell are you even over here talking to me?" He asked, not caring about the homework at all. "Don't you know who I am?"
Kevin swallowed hard and nodded, "You're Eddward. We're both in the same class, 19, dislike carrots." He said, listing the things off his fingers. Noticing Edd's expression, he chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "I… pay attention." He said slowly.
Edd shook his head, "You're so strange. Also, your hair pisses me off." He said as he rocked on his chair.
Kevin gasped, "What's wrong with my hair?" He asked confused, touching the three strands that poked out under his hat.
"It's orange. Just like a pumpkin. Then again, I do love pumpkins." He said as he began thinking about the orange fruit. Pumpkin pie, that was his favorite.
Kevin blushed and nodded, "Did you know that many people believe that a pumpkin is a vegetable? It's actually a fruit but specifically a berry." He informed as his eyes slowly moved to the table.
Edd chuckled with a smile, "You are such a nerd. It wouldn't surprise me if you get beat up every day." He said before noticing Kevin's grin, his happiness caused Edd to wince. "What is it?" He asked annoyed, his eyes narrowing on the ginger.
Kevin leaned in, "That's the first time I've seen you smile. You always look so angry in our classes together." He said, his grin widening when Edd blushed lightly at that.
"So, you know all this stuff about me. Now you watch me during class. You are a stalker then." Edd pointed out, "You shouldn't tell people things like that, then they'd classify you like a freak like me." He said, his usual frown returning. "You shouldn't even be sitting here, word will get out and you'll be looked down upon."
Kevin tilted his head in confusion, "But you're not a freak, you're pretty cool so far. Also, you should never care about what others think about you. You just have to be posit-"
"What's there to be positive about?" Edd asked angrily. When you are alone, there's nothing positive about it. "How can you be positive about something that happens to you every day? Things that ruin your life?" He asked, noticing Kevin cower as Edd stood abruptly. Good, he should be afraid, they all should be. "Since you're so smart, why don't you just leave me alone?"
Kevin bit his quivering bottom lip, "I know you don't deserve to be alone though…" He said softly. "I don't want you to be alone…"
Edd stared down at him as his breathing was heavy. He was getting too worked over something as stupid as this. He sat down with a huff and looked away. "Whatever. You don't know anything." He grumbled.
"I know enough to see you are lonely," Kevin said softly.
Edd didn't reply for a long moment, "Just go away. You are distracting me from my work." He ordered and grabbed a pencil from his bag.
Kevin slowly stood and nodded, "I'm sorry if my words offended you. I hope you feel better…" He said softly and turned.
Edd pursed his lips together, "You think I'm lonely?" He asked softly, watching Kevin turn back to him and nod. "What are you going to do to change that?" He then asked, resting on his propped up hand again.
"I want to be your friend."
oOOOOoOOOOo
Edd frowned, his eyes scanning Kevin. "You were actually being serious." He pointed out as he tried to ignore all the noise in the cafeteria, "You don't really have to be my friend. You can go hang out with whoever it is you hang out with." He said as his hand did a shooing away motion. He groaned when Kevin sat down with his tray of food.
Kevin smiled and got comfortable, "You are always sitting in the corner alone. It's so depressing." He pointed out before taking a bite of his mash potatoes. Seeing Edd wasn't giving any response, he glanced around. "How come you don't hang out with the swim team? You are the captain…" He said slowly.
Edd shrugged, "They don't really like me." He then smirked, "They're all jealous of my skills. No one's faster at doing laps in that pool." He grinned; he'd have to stay after school so he could swim for a bit.
"What about the other two you used to hang out with?" Kevin then asked, immediately noticing Edd's expression change to anger. "You don't have to answer that! I'm sorry I asked." He said quickly.
Edd frowned deeply, "Oh, it's fine. Eddy decided he didn't need a friend like me since he has all the money in the world. I don't stick around football players anyway." His expression softened. "Ed… he simply followed Eddy like a lapdog. You'd think for a genius, he'd make smarter decisions…" He mumbled.
Kevin frowned sadly, "I'm here for you Eddward…" He said softly.
Edd rolled his eyes, "No pity party please. Those piss me off more than your hair." He huffed as he shoved a spoonful of his own food into his mouth. He glanced around, "Did someone ask you to come talk to me? Did that damn councilor put you up to this?" He questioned.
This caused Kevin to laugh, "Why can't you just believe me when I tell you I want to be your friend. Why would I do it for someone? I want to get to know you." He explained with a grin. "I wanted to get to know you, what else is there to understand?"
Edd's eyes narrowed, "I think you want protection. You know no one bothers me so you want to be a little sheep who also wants no one to bother you. Well let me tell you Pumpkin, I'm not protecting anyone. I don't fight, there's a good reason for it. You don't want to be around me when I fight. It's not too pretty."
Kevin swallowed hard with a blush at the name he called him. "I just want to be your friend, okay? Nothing more, nothing less." He puffed though he didn't seem much too threatening. "I can protect myself. If not, I know how to run…" He said, mumbling the last part to himself.
Edd stared at him for a long moment, "I don't believe you." He said, blinking without an expression. "I'm not going to believe you. You can say it as much as you want, but that doesn't make it true. Right?" He questioned slowly.
Kevin nodded and finished off his lunch. "I do agree, I just think you want to push away anything that comes close to you." He said, ignoring the glare Edd was sending his way. He stood with his tray, "You'll see though. I will come and overcome your barricade." He said before leaving to get rid of his stuff.
Edd watched him, that guy… He pissed him off so much. The words he said, each went painfully through him. Kevin was wrong. Pushing his tray away, he glared at anyone who passed as he waited for the lunch bell to ring.
