Chapter 1

Why, why why? I hate this I am so busy today I have this big robot contest that I have been looking forward to for months but today was one of Edd's swim meets and if I am not there then all next week will be pure hell...why? Does he get some pleasure about complicating my life and love to unwind before and after a meet by torturing me? These anguished thoughts kept running around Kevin's head as he tried to cope with the sorrow at not going to the robot contest...he didn't want to add more fuel to the fire, he started to pack his bag, getting ready to take the bus to the school where the swim meet was being held

"Salutations pumpkin, and how are you on this auspicious day?" Edd said leaning against the locker right next to Kevin causing the small boy with the quiz bowl cap to jump in surprise and fear, having not heard the tall beanie wearing teen come up next to him.

Not today, I really don't have the emotional capacity to deal with the bully that got a personal thrill from making my life miserable

"Can you just please beat me up and go on your way? I really don't feel like dragging this out and just want to get to the swim meet so I can get it over with then get home to get over my disappointment that I was even there" Then Kevin tacked in his head and prepared for the punch he knew was going to come his way...and braced his heart against the hurtful words he knew were coming simply because he asked for them not to.

But nothing happened, he looked up to see the the swimmers back turning the corner in the direction of the school pool, that's weird there isn't any swimming practice today, why did he walk away?Kevin stared off in the direction the Edd had went wondering what on earth had gotten into the teen that everyone feared and everyone wanted to be friends with, but very few were

"Yo bike baby! What you doing standing there gawking like that don't you know it is dangerous to be by yourself in a school hallway?" Dang it I should have left when I had the chance, Edd although the most powerful and dangerous, is more likely to be lenient than his two friends both of which loved to torment me when Edd wasn't around...but for some reason was always close enough to know what was going on.

What both Kevin and Edd didn't know that there was a really big reason that he made Kevin's life a living hell and he knew that when the time came he would be apologizing to Kevin... a lot
