Broken Pieces

Ch.1- Trouble
Eddy felt his body crash against the wet pavement right outside Peach Creak High's sports shed. The rain that had been pouring furociously moments ago had ceased and only left behind the smell of damp dirt and wet dog along with puddles all around.
Picking himself up, he brushed off some mud from the side of his face, looking down into a puddle of water. His nose wrinkled in disgust at his own reflection, causing him to turn away in time to recieve a foot to the face.
"Where do you think you're going porky?"
"You guys. I really think we should stop. What if a teacher comes by. Let's just book it while the booking still good. The pig was yelling really loud just now. Its likely someone heard him."
"Ugh, fine. You got lucky swine. Next time you wont escape."
The footsteps of the shorter teen's attachers grew faint in the distance, giving Eddy some relief. Shivering, he picked himself up, wiping away the tears that fell from his eyes. Looking back into the puddle below him, he studied his reflextion. The cuts against the left corner of his lips were too obviously bruised to hide with make-up this time...
"Eddy?"
Eddy's eyes grew wide in horror as he stood frozen in place. He couldnt find the strength to run away. He was like a deer caught in the head lights. And what made it worse, the person to catch him in such a state was nonother than-
...
Eddy crumbled yet another piece of notebook paper as he let out an exhausted sigh. The librarian at Peach Creak High's library was not too found of noise. She was quick to SHUSH Eddy on the spot.
The short teen gave her a look once her back was turned, then lowered his head to the table.
"I give up sock head. I'm done." He groaned. " I ain' gunna learn this shit in time for our finals. Lets face it, I was doomed to repeat from the get-go."
"Good lord Eddy. Leave it to you to cave so quickly. We have only been studying for an hour. Have some faith." Double D scribbled some notes into his notebook. "Dont be so negative. Even Ed has been studying and he has shown a great deal of improvement. From here to the date of the test, he and you should be ready."
"Well aint ya just a pocket full of sunshine." Eddy rolled his eyes. "I'm heading home."
"What!?" Double D silently screamed.
"I ain'missing my drama for no studying. If you are so sure that I'll pass, then have some faith." He smirked while collecting his items. "See ya tomorrow sock-head."
"Oh how i pray that I am right..."
...
Eddy kicked a rock aside as he shoved his hands into his jean's pockets. He had decided last minute to take a detour over to the junk yard, clear his mind, and think about what he could do to learn the material needed in time for the finals. Though the junkyard may not have been the best place for soul searching and such as the smell kind of fuzzed his thinking process.
"Ugh. What the hell am I gunna do. I knew i shouldn't have skipped out on school for a whole week. And I probably could have studied more if i didnt accept all of Kevin's dumb invites to mixers..."
"Hahahaha. You look like you need some help punk." A voice burst out of no where, startling the short teen. "I may be able to help for a small fee."
"Wha-?" Eddy turned his head in every direction to see where the voice was coming from.
"I got all the answers to the finals, and I am more than willing to give them to ya if you are willing to do me and my boys a favor." The teen popped out from behind a broken down buggy. "Your passing is garunteed. You can get to move up to senior year with all your lil pals."
"Joseph?" (just an oc for the story) Eddy raised a brow at the ginger teen. He had dark curly red hair, pale skin, and freckles spread out evenly all over the teen's body and face.
"That's meh name. Dont wear it out short stuff."
"Tsk! What makes you think I will ever make a deal with you after our last deal? I seem to recall you stabbing me in the back for the haunted house event." Eddy rolled his eyes at the ginger. "I aint THAT desprate.
"Awe, how mean. I said I was sorry for that. How was i suppose to know that teacher didnt want us using the gym for our little attraction?
"YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU JUST ASKED! I got a weeks worth of detention!" Eddy hissed crossing his arms.
"Okay. OKay. I admit, it was wrong of me to let you take the fault. But hey, I am offering you a once in a lifetime deal. I am not even asking for a lot buddy. It wont come around a second time."
"...Fine! But they better be legit or I will really be mad."
"Atta boy. But first, you do me a favor, and then the answers are all yours."
The shorter teen felt a chill crawl up his spine. He had a bad feeling about this.. but...
