The alarm clock had sounded through out the room and it was the first day of school. Edd was excited because summer vacation was somewhat boring, he wasn't sure what to quite expect. He showered and dressed in his usual black and red clothing making sure his hat didn't pull onto his piercings when he looked into the mirror. When he grabbed his backpack, he headed downstairs to make himself lunch and then head off to Kevin's house since Kevin and him agreed to take his car only because Kevin had crashed it just a week prior to school starting. He made two sandwiches with one being turkey and the other chicken as he quickly made them while going around the kitchen to grab other lunch food and 2 drinks. Edd knew that Kevin would wake up late so he didn't take any chances in not bringing him lunch. He headed out the door as soon as he was finished and crossed over to Kevin's house. When he knocked, there was no footsteps coming towards the door so Kevin had knocked again hoping that Kevin would hear it that time. No answer came still so Edd decided to let himself in using a copy of Kevin's house key that Kevin gave to him.
Opening the front door, he went upstairs to Kevin's room to find that he was still sleeping which didn't surprise Edd at all. Edd watched Kevin breathe silently and peacefully but found it a little arousing that Kevin had his blanket hanging half way off of his bed leaving Kevin exposed n his red boxers. Edd slowly walked over to Kevin's bed as he crept passed the little rays of sunlight that had made it passed the mini blinds and placed a kiss onto Kevin's lips; causing him to wake up at the intrusion. Edd stopped the kiss as he was now staring into Kevin's green eyes.
"Edd what are you doing here?" Kevin said still sleepy as he stretched.
"Seems someone forgot that today is the first day of school and we're going to be late." Edd replied.
Kevin looked at his phone and the alarm for him to wake up had already went off but Kevin knew he had turned it off and went back to sleep. Kevin hurried out of bed and got dressed thankful that he showered last night. He looked like a chicken running around with the head cut off and Edd sat back on his bed enjoying seeing a worried Kevin run around the room. As Kevin finished, he thought he might have broken a world record in getting dressed because it had only taken him 5 minutes to do so. He looked in the mirror seeing if he looked good or looked like someone who got dressed in the dark. To his surprise, it wasn't the latter. By the time they left for school, it was 8:15 and school started at 8:30. Kevin knew that he had to get both of them to school in a hurry and didn't hesitate on speeding but being careful not to get a ticket. This year, was a going to be a busy year for both Edd and Kevin. While Edd was selected to be head of the Student Council despite not really wanting the position due to the different stresses that came with it before school ended last year, Kevin was now the quarterback of the football team and he would be the one coming come with plays along with the coach.
As they got to school, they were surprised that they made it just in time and went inside to go to their lockers which were just 4 lockers away from one another's. Edd gave Kevin his lunch and received a light kiss from him to which Edd deepened it a little before going back to his own locker to put some more of his belongings in it. Kevin smiled at him knowing that after school, he would just deepen it more in his room. They walked around and talk to some friends who had seen them and started a conversation about what they had did over summer vacation. Edd had told them that his was boring some due to visiting family but was only happy when Kevin was allowed to go with him. It was also one of the few rare times that he was able to spend time with his parents also before they had gone back to being busy and not being home.
As the bell rang, they started off in their own directions. Both Kevin and Edd had the same first class together and they next to each other in the middle of the classroom. The rest of the students came in along with their teacher who had what looked like someone's student information on a printed on a stack of papers.
"Today, we have a new student. He's new to our school and will be joining us for this semester, would you please come up here?" She asked an unknown person.
Minutes later, a student with light blonde hair that almost looked platinum began to walk up to the classroom. He was tall and from what the girls could see, he was also muscular as well. He wore black framed glasses that complimented his face and his eyes were an ice blue. He wore a simple outfit of dark blue jeans that were slightly baggy and a black buttoned up long sleeve shirt that exposed some of his collarbone around the neck. His shoes, were black but somewhat of a shine to them as if they were dress shoes.
"This is William." She said.
The girls couldn't stop staring at him as if he was a celebrity. The guys in the classroom snickered a bit as they mocked the girls but didn't seem bothered by William who looked like he could hangout with them. After the teacher had arranged the sitting arrangement, Edd and Kevin were surprised that William would be sitting behind Edd and Kevin would be sitting few seats across from them. They started to do their first assignment and William would occasionally look up at Edd who was busy at work as was the rest of the class. He smiled a bit knowing it would be a fun semester.
After the bell rang they all had gone to their classes and soon it was lunch time. Kevin and Edd sat together at a round table and started eating when a voice was heard talking to them. Both of them looked to see that it was William who was holding his backpack over his shoulder.
"Do you mind if I joined the both of you?" He asked.
"Uh, sure man, no problem. Kevin said.
"Please, have a seat." Edd said.
William placed his backpack down on the seat as he sat down himself. While the rest of the cafeteria was noisy, it was silence and somewhat awkward having William sit with them but decided to try and start a conversation with him anyways.
"So, William wh-" Kevin was caught off.
"So Edd, I noticed I sit behind you in our first period class. I hope this means that we can become friends." He said to him.
Edd blushed a bit and it didn't go unnoticed by Kevin who watched William seem to be very interested in Edd but he didn't know why. Kevin also noticed that Edd was acting a bit how like he acted when he himself started to flirt with Edd and he would get embarrassed like how he did now. Kevin reasoned it as it was only Edd's second time where another guy had ever shown interest in Edd and he didn't want to ruin it but also didn't want William to get too close to Edd where something would happen. He also knew that Edd wasn't the type to even cheat or think about cheating so that had gave Kevin comfort in knowing it.
" I guess it's okay." Edd told him.
"Perfect." William said with a light smile.
Kevin didn't know what to think but decided to just let it go. He had a lot of friends while Edd had a small circle of friends so he didn't mind Edd making another new friend. It wasn't like he was controlling towards who Edd could and couldn't get hangout with and why should he? Kevin didn't want to be that kind of person who controls others for wanting to live their life and hanging out with friends. He did however, decided to pay a little close to William to make sure he wouldn't take advantage of Edd in anyway.
Edd and William continued to talk and it turned out that they had a lot of things in common mostly in Science and the fact that William was apart of the Student Council as well. Edd was surprised but also excited because there was already one person he knew in the Student Council and he would soon meet the rest after school. Kevin listened to their conversation; occasionally asking questions to which Edd would reply to him and also William sometimes. When lunch was over, William went to his locker to put his things in it before heading to his next class.
As the school day started to fade more, William had discovered that Edd was in his last class as well and not Kevin who he had already assumed to be Edd's boyfriend from how he saw them in the cafeteria before he joined them. William chose to sit close to Edd but not too close to him. He studied Edd who had now sat in his seat. He wasn't fragile or looked it either. Edd looked like he could hold his own against him and William would love that if Edd pushed back, the thought of it excited him to no end but he remained calm and cool on the outside while on the inside he was thinking about Edd and being with him. He soon wondered when it would be.
His thoughts switched to reality when the teacher's voice interrupted his thinking. The teacher wanted each of them to do a poem about someone who they admire. The teacher said that could be from the past or present and it didnt have to be anyone famous. He also expressed that while he had students that were sometimes vulgar in their writing assignments, he wanted each student to keep it clean. He also stated that they could write about the person anonymously if they so choose but that tgey would each read it to the class. There were few groans and complaints heard but he gave them 3 weeks to finish and no later.
As he sat behind his desk, he made it clear that he expected creativity and not words thrown together in a mess to make it seem like a poem. William smiled as he turned his eyes towards Edd without going unnoticed. He licked his lips and took out a pen that contained the deepest black ink that almost had a shine to it when he wrote his poem but wasn't satisfied with the outcome of the poem as it seemed dull and not expressive enough.
The bell rang and the students left the classrooms and to their lockers excited about the weekend. Edd was walking to his locker and was prepared to meet up with Kevin after the football meeting so they could go home. Him and Kevin had plans to spend the weekend at his house while his parents and Edd's were out of town. While his parents were on numerous business trips, Kevin's was visiting relatives and wouldn't be back. From what Kevin knew, it had something to do with one of his uncles but didn't get the full details. Edd walked through the hallways heading out to where students could go to the football field. On the way, other students said hi to him or waved which he would do back. As he neared the doors to exit, he felt someone lay a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was William who politely smiled as he looked straight into Edd's eyes.
"Hey Edd." He said in smooth silk like tone.
"Hey William, what's up?" He asked him.
"Oh, nothing really, I was just going to head home and saw you so I thought I would say hi first." He said to Edd.
"Oh, well, if that's all you wanted to say, I'll be leaving." Edd told him.
"Actually, now that you mentioned it, there is something else." William said.
"What would that be?" Edd questioned.
"I was wondering, would like to spend time with me tomorrow." William asked.
"I'm sorry but I already have plans with Kevin." Edd told him.
"I see, well maybe some other time." William offered.
"Sure, that sounds great." Edd replied.
With the conversation now over, William watched Edd walk towards the football field and to one of the players. He recognized him as Kevin as he watched them kiss just after what looked like a meeting of sorts. He saw Edd and Kevin talk before Kevin kissed him again with Edd laughing a bit. William ran the tips of nails hard along the glass as it made a small screeching sound that filled the halls. He walked away in silence as he thought of another way to get Edd alone with no interruptions. He grinned to himself as he exited out of the school and headed home.
