Disclaimer: I don't own Ed Edd n Eddy or anything associated with them.
Edd was a shy kid, always had been, always will. Sure, he, as a 5 year old is as smart as a gifted 16 year old in every subject, even though science was his strong point. Unfortunately, what he had in intelligence, he lacked in physical and social activities. His parents worked all day, his dad being a soldier who got wounded in the Vietnam War during the last couple years of it, and his dad is still a soldier, he just stays at base all day with paperwork. His dad being injured explains Edd's hatred of violence.
His mom is a nurse and works long hours at the hospital, which explains Edd's knowledge of medical science and his caring personality.
During the day, Edd constantly experiments and builds his inventions. When he moved to Peach Creek, it was for one of the worst reason, shame. When he got there he felt lonely than ever, and to top it all off, right when he got there he was scammed out of 50 cents by some Neanderthals named Ed and Eddy. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning.
It was the beginning of what seemed like any other day to Edd. Except for fact that it was the Lemon Brooke Elementary School Science Fair. Edd has been working on his project for at least 2 months, and when he woke up, he was ready in 20 minutes, 40 minutes earlier than usual, because of his excitement. He had built a basic service robot for the fair, out of spare parts and no manual. Edd dressed himself in his usual attire, consisting of a purple overalls and purple shorts, red shirt, red socks and cyan shoes (A.N Edd hasn't started wearing the hat yet, it will be told in the end of the chapter why he starts to wear it). Edd then ate his usual bowl of chunky puffs, thinking that he would need it for the fair. Luckily, his parents had enough time for him and drove the robot to the school the night before. He then sat down and studied for any pop-quizzes in the rare chance that his elementary classes would have one. He then started to walk out to the bus stop, but then stopped at the door. He then left a sticky note on the front door which said, "Goodbye Mother, Goodbye Father, I am gladly leaving to school for the school science fair, which I have informed you several times and have my highest hopes that you will be able to attend.
Best Wishes,
Eddward"
Edd then ran out the door, to wait for the bus. In a few minutes the bus came. Edd then got on it and took the empty front right seat. He always sat alone, he didn't want to get caught up in the loud shenanigans. He then started up his usual chatter with the bus driver, who felt kind of bad that Edd was always alone, was made fun of and had no friends, so she always made sure she talked to him. They were just talking about the science fair and Edd was explaining what he had built, when a kid that was the main bully of Edd called his name.
"Hey Dork, come here, I want to show you something" Devin called to Edd. "What could it be, Devin" Edd said while getting up when the bus stopped at a red light. When Edd got to where Devin was, Devin pushed him down in the seat across from him, in the back of the bus where the bus driver couldn't see them.
"This" Devin said and threw a punch at Edd's stomach and grabbed his backpack, ripping it and spilling all of the contents on the floor. Devin saw something of interest, it was a book on how to make friends, which Edd so desperately wanted. "Devin, please don't take it!" Edd pleaded, his eyes starting to water from the punch and humiliation. "Awe look, the little dweeb wants to make friends," Devin sneered, then continued, "Listen brainiac, use your massive brain to figure this out, nobody likes you, so why don't you just leave Lemon Brook, and go to somewhere like Peach Creek, full of rejects."
Edd then snatched his book back, picked up his stuff and ran back to the front, not even caring about the bus not being stopped. He then sat there, secretly crying while making it look like he was reading until they reached the school.
5 hours later
The day was pretty normal for Edd, besides the bullying on the bus, wait that was normal too. The only thing being different was that the Science Fair was that day, having signs all up, directing parents on where to go. Now was time for the fair, and Edd was the last one going on, which meant that everyone was going to be there, except for his parents most likely.
Edd sat there, patiently waiting as about 7 kids all had Paper Mache Volcanoes. 2 kids had projects on deep sea life and there were many other kinds of projects, just too many to name them all. Finally, after what felt like hours of waiting, it was Edd's turn.
When Edd walked onto the stage (A.N, this science fair is in the format of like a talent show or spelling bee.) he thought his eyes were deceiving them. He saw his parents sitting in the front row, FOR ONCE. Edd then felt even more confident and started showing off his robot. This is where things got worse.
That bully, Devin, through a rotten tomato at the robot, hitting its circuitry and making everything go haywire. "Uhh, stay calm, I'm sure it's just a malfunction glitch, and it will go back to normal" Edd stammered out, half terrified himself. Then one of the robots arms came up and hit Edd in the forehead, knocking him out and leaving a nasty gash in his head. The school officer then tackled the robot, tasing the robot, frying its circuits, deactivating it. The school nurse took care of Edd with Edd's Mother helping and his Dad by his side, while Devin was taken to the bathroom by his own parents and was getting beat senseless (not illegally, his parents were pretty much spanking him).
The next day, Edd found himself in his room. He was so excited for the fair. Then it all hit him. He remembered the events of the day before and started to freak out. "I'm going to be even more of an outcast now." He whispered to himself. "Edd, honey, can you please come down here, your father and I want to speak with you" Edd's mother, Yelena, called down to him.
"Mother AND Father home, this must be serious" Edd thought to himself while walking downstairs. "Edd, Sit down" Edd's Father, Robert, said, pointing at the chair across from him, next to Yelena, at the kitchen table. "Honey, what we are going to say next is really hard to tell you, but it must be said." Edd's mom started off. "What is it Mother?" Edd questioned. "Son, following what happened yesterday, your principle told us that you can't go to that school anymore, so we are going to move to Peach Creek, and you can go to school there." His Dad finished. To Edd, this news wasn't so bad, at least he would never have to see Devin again and he wouldn't even have to face the humiliation of yesterday.
But what came next, made Edd flip out. "Also sweetie, the nurse, the doctors and I did everything we could, but…. Just look yourself," His Mom said, holding up a mirror so Edd can see a huge scar on the left side of his forehead, and it looked like it was missing flesh. Edd then just started to cry, while his Mom comforted him while his Dad got up to go get something. When he came back, he was holding a present and handed it to Edd. Edd looked up curiously and grabbed the box.
He then neatly removed the wrapping paper, and peeked inside. Inside was a black ski hat, with 2 white stripes on both sides. Edd picked it up and put it on his head, and it was a bit loose, but he loved it anyways, plus, it covered the scar perfectly. "Thank you Mother and Father, I absolutely love it and will cherish it forever," Edd said as he them both.
1 week later
Edd was excited, to say the least. Today was the day he was moving. Edd had already packed everything up and it all was being unpacked at the house by his Dad. "Edd, it's time to go, come and get in the car." Yelena's voice rang throughout the house. Edd then ran outside to meet his Mom at the car and got in the back, since he was too little to sit in the front. Yelena started the car and they were driving through the little town of Lemon Brook. Edd took one last look at his town before entering Peach Creek, to his new house, his new life.
A.N. So how did you all like it? I hope you liked it a lot and please review, helps my writing skills and also, if you were confused by anything, ask it in a review and I shall answer thy question for you. Also, did you guys notice the name "Devin" being the bully while in the show, the bully is pretty much "Kevin" see what I did there. I will try to update soon, I have another story I have to write the next chapter for so I will just switch between them, and if you want to read it just go to my profile and it is called "The Accident" bye you guys.
