Chapter 1

The Reunion

Dear Dairy,

"I can't believe...its been 4 years since May and Ed died in that fire at his house. To think if you said you wanted someone dead you think you be happy. I was wrong...I miss May. Heck even though its been along time since I talked to the other Eds. Sad thing is I think they don't talk to each other anymore either. Ed was the one that always held the group up when things went in other different directions.

Since he's gone...there's no reason why they should hang out, or talk to each other anymore. Eddy is now on the popular side of High school along with Kevin, Nazz, and other people. Double D...well all I know is he hangs out with Jimmy. The only reason why Jimmy hangs out with Double D is because Sarah is depressed about her brother being gone. You think she would be happy if he was...well looks like even she misses her big bro. For now I'm just going to chug through and just go to school today."

I put my diary under my bed and I get ready for school. I put on my black muscle shirt along with my camo cargo pants and chain. I put on my black DC shoes and head off to the kitchen for breakfast. I see my big sister Lee with her usual polkadotted shirt with her skinny jeans and her red hair already curled up walk into the kitchen too.

"Hey Lee," I said expecting a response.

Nothing was said from Lee and just walked out the trailer door into her car, and off to school.

"Looks like she knows what day it is too. Well I guess I'm walking to school today," I said to myself.

I finished my bowl of cereal grab my book bag and head off to school too.

"You know what I should walk more often. Its beautiful outside, I get more exercise, and -"

Before I could say anything else I see someone in a black hoodie that only fits him half his body runs by me.

"Damn! Watch we're your going," I yelled.

The person in the hoody stopped, and turned around to see me. It looked like he was in shocked when he saw me, but that didn't matter. I couldn't make out who it was, but that didn't stop me from beating whoever almost tripped me. I started to run after him. He just stood there watching me run towards him, but then he realized what was about to go down.

"Take this!"

I threw a punch right towards his face. The mystery person dodged it by leaning to his right just enough, so it wouldn't hit him. I threw another except my right fist this time. He also dodges the punch by leaning towards the left.

"What the...you're getting on my nerves," I said.

I go for a forward kick, but the mystery person blocks it with both his hands in a downward motion. I fall on the ground right on my butt. The mystery person took a few steps back and started to run.

"O NO! You're not leaving until I say you can leave," I screamed.

The person made a quick cut through the corner, so did I. I tried to catch up to him, but he's just a little faster. A car came out of nowhere, and hits the breaks. The person jumps right over the hood of the car without touching it.

I ran around the car to catch up to him. He checks over his shoulder to see if I was still there. I was at least 5 feet behind him. He goes down one sidewalk with nothing but fences. He sees there's a dead end at the end of the fences.

"Ha you have nowhere to go now. Time to teach you to mess with a Kanker," I said out loud to him.

The person didn't stop running. He did a cartwheel then he flipped right over the fence.

"You got to be joking me!"

I ran toward the fence too except I kick off the corner of the fence. I land it, but then I'm come face to face with a German Shepherd. I get against the fence, so I wouldn't get bitten.

"AAHH! Someone help me with this mut," I pleaded.

As the dog barked and barked at me it gets even more on edge.

"Help me out here! This dog is gonna kill me!"

The mystery person turns around to see that I was facing the dog. He was about to go, but something made him turn back and help me. He runs towards the dog, and tackles it. The dog yelps when the person tackles it.

The dog tried to bite him, but he puts the dog into a sleeper hold. 30 seconds later the dog stops moving and barking. As I watched this I was kind of second guessing myself if I should fight him.

"T-Thanks for saving me. I shouldn't have been so hard on you."

The person stands up, but didn't realize his hood was down now.

"Hey turn around, so I can see who you are. Wait I know someone with that same exact hat. Yeah a black hat with...white strips….Double D? Is that you," I questioned.

The person turns around to find out it is none other than Double D, surprisingly. He helps me up and then takes a few steps back.

"M-Marie...I didn't want to harm you in anyway but," Double D pondered on.

"It's okay Double D! Wow Double D when did you learn to do that?"

"I-I...look at the time we got to go to school before the bell rings."

"Wait you didn't-"

Before I could finish my statement he vaulted over the fence again except this time he did it with one hand. I was shocked to see that he was capable to do that. I thought he was still...non athletic.

"No...no way that was Double D. It had to be someone else, but...he did answer as Double D would. Wow I think he also got stronger too, because in 8th grade he couldn't lift for anything. Did he also get taller? Last time I remember he was at my height. Now hes like a head taller than me. I just realized I got to get to school!"

At School

I made it to school just as the bell rings. My first period class was P.E.

I just couldn't stop thinking about how much Double D changed. Its been years since I seen him. As I wandered off in my own little world the teacher told the class that they were going to play a new game that he think they we're going to like.

"Okay people were going to play a game called Capture the Cone. The rules are simple you need to capture the other players cone to gain a point. You can pass the half court line, but once you pass the line the other players can freeze you. Kind of like dodgeball, freeze tag, and capture the flag. You can not move when you have a dodgeball in your hand. You may pivot but nothing else. OK start," the teacher yelled.

You see dodgeballs going all over the place. Some kids got out, but all they have to do to get back in is ten jumping jacks. Some kids tried to get the cone, but they got tagged and now there frozen.

"O crap we started," I said to herself.

"Hey Marie! Watch out," yelled Johnny.

Johnny ran toward me, and let the dodgeball hit him then letting it hit me.

"Wow, thanks Johnny."

"No...problem", as he gasped for air.

"Uh, Johnny did you just…"

"Yes...but anything...for a friend," as he walks off to the side of the gym holding his groin.

"Man Johnny sometimes I just don't understand you," I said.

Five minutes passed and no one has gotten each others cone yet.

"Okay people know one has gotten a point yet, and I'll be damned if they get it first," said the captain.

"Hey Marie!"

"O hey Jimmy. How's it going," I ask?

Since Jimmy usually hangs out with Sarah and no one else back then he's starting to get more social now. He mostly hangs out with Doubl D, and other kids here in school now. Since Jimmy is smart in technology and Double D well...All I know he's into science like stuff too with Jimmy.

"Nothing except Double D's been acting strange today."

"Double D? Really...How strange is he acting?"

"He was almost late for school, and he was attacked by a dog."

"Really...huh that is strange," I said.

Wow he didn't say that I got attacked by the dog. He also didn't mention that I was the reason he was almost late. I think I owe him a thank you for that.

"Marie...you okay?"

"Hmm...yeah. Sorry I was just thinking," I said.

"It's okay. Hey can you keep a secret," he ask.

"Yeah what is it?"

"Double D is in this class. He's just somewhere in the gym," said Jimmy.

"Wait he's in here now?"

"Yeah and I know where its at."

"Really...well since he was acting strange today you think I could talk to him," I suggested.

"That's going to be hard," Jimmy said.

"How come," I asked.

"Well…"

He points where the rope climb is at and at the very top you can see an outline of someone in the rafters.

"That's him! But he's at least thirty feet high!"

"I know I was impressed when he first did that too. Well have fun getting up to him."

"G Thanks Jimmy", I said in a sarcastic way.

"Hey at least I told you. I could've said nothing, or tell Johnny you were about to get nailed in the face," he shot back at me.

"Really...thanks Jimmy."

"No Problem."

I slowly walked over to the rope climb to get ready to climb up it. I was nervous because I only did this one time, and yet I was still nervous back then. Slowly one by one I put my hands on the rope to get ready to go up it. I started to climb up the rope. I kept telling myself don't look down, don't look down, don't look down. At that moment I'm at least ten feet off the ground, but then something just told me to look down.

I don't know what came over me, but now I wasn't nervous. I was really nervous now. I just kept going up the rope, so I didn't have to worry about doing this again. I finally reached the top of the rafters. All of a sudden my hand slipped, and I was about to fall. I don't know why I didn't scream or call for help, but then a hand came in time to grab me from falling.

"HUH! Doub-"

"Shh! Do you want to get in trouble," Double D ask?

He pulls me up into the rafters, so I wouldn't fall.

"Wow...what a view huh Double D," I said.

"Hmm," he responded.

"Um...Double D...you're probably wondering why I'm up here with you," I questioned.

"You're up here because you want to talk to me about why you chased me, thank me for saving you from the dog, how and when I got so fit, and see how I've been doing for the past four years. Am I correct or no?"

"Wow...how did you-?"

"I heard you and Jimmy talking."

"O I was about to say your really smart, but I know you're not insanely...wait what was that last part," I questioned.

"You wanted to know how I've been for the past four years."

"O.K. you are insanely smart. So...how have you been?"

"I...have been doing fine. Just...you know tired today. Since you already know what happened to me today."

"O yeah...sorry about that. I thought you were another jerk just messing with me since you know I'm a 'Kanker' and all."

"It's okay I really don't blame you. At least you gave me a work out," he said with a slight chuckle afterwards.

"Speaking of working out. When did you...you know get fit, and where did you learn to do those moves," I asked wanting to know.

"Umm...well..I kind of...I...I don't want to mention it here. Let's just say I have more time on my hands now than usual."

"O-Okay...I understand. You just don't want to tell me."

"No no...its not that," he studerd.

"O so you're embarrassed or something?"

"No...its complicated," he said.

"Why is it complicated Double D," I asked.

"It's just...well kind of...it's like...you know what? How about this. Come to my house after school, and I'll talk about it okay?"

Right when he said that I was shocked that he's inviting me into his house.

"Uhh..yeah sure I'll come to your house after school."

"Great...because you know I need to talk to someone else besides Jimmy. He's cool and all, but he misses Sarah...badly."

"Sorry to hear that Double D", I said.

"Yeah...but real quick you do realize there's a ladder to get up here, right?"

"God damn it Jimmy I'm gonna kill him," I said frustrated.

"Well lets get down from here before someone sees use up here," Double D said.

After we both got down from the rafters I went to my next period class, and so did Double D. I just can't believe how much he has changed. I just hope he's still the gentleman like he was back then. O well for now I just can't wait to catch up with Double D.
