Please review.
Kevin's first day of high school was rough. Without a doubt he was looking forward to it; finally out of middle school and into a school with more mature and responsible people. He figured it would be rather easy, considering his friends we're going to be there, and the classes were rather easy. He was very concerned with his grades. So rather early in the morning, Kevin took his bike and rode it to school. It was a really bright and autumn day so he took his time riding. He liked looking at the scenery and just being relaxed and at ease. After a few minutes, he arrived and parked next to the entrance, he put two locks on his bike to make sure it was safe. He enter the school rather early in the day so he knew that the school would be rather vacant.
Fumbling around with his backpack he found a piece of paper with his locker number and lock equation on it. He had memorized it beforehand but wanted to make sure it was right. He quickly found his locker and gathered his books for his first class and happily skipped to his first class. The school was a lot bigger than what he was used to, so he got a bit lost, even with the school map in his hands. Kevin took this into consideration so he arrived at the school 20 minutes early. Now he had 15 minutes to find his class, and he was only getting more and more lost.
Room 182 Mrs. Johnson Kevin read silently in his mind, his first class. He looked down a long corridor and realized he was in the right area. Room 189, 188, 187… Ah! 182! That's odd, Kevin thought. There were two doors, maybe he had a lecture hall? He didn't think high school had lecture halls, but then again every school is different. He opened the door and walked in, chlorine hitting his nose.
Uh oh…. Kevin was NOT in the right class. He found the aquarium and the schools swim team was about to wrap up practice. Kevin quickly tried to leave but the doors were locked. They must only be able to open from the outside. Kevin quickly and quietly tried to open the doors while searching for another exit.
"Who are you?" A rather high pitched voice asked him, he hesitantly turned and found the entire team staring at him, the door must have caught their attention, CRAP! The couch, he assumed, was the only girl in the room, she looked very professional and serious. He stiffened while trying to look confident. He could see the boys around him staring and snickering. However there were still some boys in the water, and another one with his hand in. Kevin guessed he was trying to get there attention.
He swallowed rather loudly, "I-I'm just in the wrong room-"
"We can all see that dweeb". A voice lost in the crowd echoed, and the team laughed.
"Peter's, 10 laps!" The couch yelled, and a boy a few feet from her stopped laughing. He pulled his cap over his head and walked to the edge of the pool. The swim team was wearing tight fitting pants that came above their knees, not speedos. Kevin thought this was odd, he assumed that all swim teams wore speedos.
"Couch, he's with me." A low voice bellowed. Kevin turned and saw a boy get out of the pool, cap and goggles on. Kevin did not recognize him, and he was certain no one from the high school knew him either. He only knew Nazz and Nat, and they weren't on any sports team. The boy was tall, and his body was built, every muscle was defined, and he stood like a warrior. Kevin couldn't help stare, this boy just seemed so mesmerizing to him.
A boy next to him snickered, "Vince, I didn't take you as someone who made friends with-"
The boy cut off his team mate, "Dr. Scott asked me to show a first year around." His voice lowered and dangerous, the air in the room shifted and everyone was silent. The boy named Vince turned to his couch and she nodded. The whole room feel silent as he walked over to the wall next to him, grabbed a neatly folded towel and walked over to Kevin. Kevin tensed when the boy grabbed him by his collar and dragged him to his left, where another entrance was. He walked into a locker room and dropped Kevin next to a locker, turning him away from the boy.
"Don't look nerd, or I'll kill you". Kevin's nerves only heightened. Now that the boy was closer his voice seemed a bit familiar, but Kevin couldn't identify it, he started getting agitated. Kevin didn't like not knowing something, it made him look dumb and silly. He could feel himself shaking and his nerves heightening.
"Ok dork, you can relax now." Kevin relax the tiniest bit, laying his books on the bench next to him he sat, and looked up next to him. The boy had only changed his pants, he was wearing black skinny jeans that hung low so you could see his Calvin Klein underwear, he still had no shirt on, and his goggles and cap were still on. Kevin's heart was going a mile a minute. The boy stood about 6 foot, whereas Kevin was only 5 feet 4 inches. Kevin pouted, he was always short.
The boy leaned forward and hid his face behind the locker, "You haven't altered in the slightest Pumpkin."
Kevin froze, petrified. If there was one thing that could ruin his day, it was that word. There was only one person that ever called him that. Kevin wanted to run put his legs wouldn't budge, he shut his eyes tight, and hoped all of this was a bad dream. Go away go away go away Kevin kept saying in his head.
"…I-I-I thought y-you left for good-d." Kevin could barely talk. His tormentor only chucked, "On the contrary, I was given a rather virtuous opportunity." Kevin kept quiet.
"…Are your eyes going to stay locked the entire time I talk to you?" Kevin could hear the smile at the end of his voice. That's what Edd wanted, and Kevin wanted this year to be different, so gathered his courage, and opened his eyes. His bully was now fully dressed, white t shirt, black leather jacket with matching gloves, and his signature black and white hat.
"Double D." Kevin surprised himself by not stammering.
Edd grinned and chuckled, "You're too adorable Kevin." Kevin began to tense up, angry. "Double D, I'm not gay, will you stop treating me like I am!" His voice echoed the entire locker room. Kevin snapped and quickly shut his mouth, scared. However he couldn't show how scared he was, so he looked at Double D trying his best to show confidence. But Double D only looked bored, and a bit bemused.
Edd chuckled and shifted towards Kevin, who took a step back. Kevin was against the lockers and Edd was only getting closer and closer until Double was so close Kevin could feel his breathing. Edd took a hand out of his pocket and laid it against the lockers, next to Kevin's faces. "Prove it".
Kevin looked at him, determined, "How?"
Double D's smiled only widened. He poked Kevin's nose, "You acquire a date to homecoming, and I shall leave you be."
Kevin's face fell, how was he going to be able to do that! He was only a first year and no girl in his grade would be willing to go with him. That's when he thought of Nazz, if he explained the situation to Nazz she would more than likely go with him.
"De-"
Double D cut him off with his index finger to his lips, "No Nazz, no one from the cul-de-sac." Edd's eyes were blazing and full of energy. "Or, perhaps you will not be able to attain a date to the occasion, you can just admit defeat and kiss me now?" Edd lifted his leg to Kevin's left and lowered both arms, leaning in closer to Kevin. Kevin's heart began to accelerate and he could feel heat rising in his face.
Kevin could hear the swim team entering the locker room, he was out of time. "D-DEAL!" He sprinted out and left the room quickly. Heart going a mile a minute and a lump in his throat. Screw Double D! He was only making fun of him! He wished he never took that dare Double D gave him, he wanted to be cool, now it has only caused him trouble. Back when they were still kids, Double D dared him to kiss the person he liked, and at the time, Kevin liked Double D. He didn't think it was a big deal so he kissed Double D in front of everyone. Everyone from that point thought of him as gay and out casted. But Edd gave him the worst time, only mocking him. He no longer thought of Edd as someone he liked.
Kevin looked down at his watch. 3 minutes to class, Kevin began to ran, wiping small tears from his eyes. He stopped at a teacher's room and asked for directions. Kevin wanted to leave and never come back, but he couldn't. So he ran as fast as he could to his first class, keeping his sobs as quiet as possible.
At 4:55am Double D arose from his bed, and turned off his 5am alarm. He rolled his eyes at himself, he always set his alarm, but always woke up before it went off. He showered and put some bread in the toaster while tidying up his room. Once it was to his liking, he grabbed the pieces of bread and left. Stepping out into the night sky, he turned and stopped. A car was parked in his driveway, his parents were home. He looked at his watch, 5:27am. They either just got home or they are about to leave. Double D hesitate on the patio. He could stay and see his parents for the small amount of time he had, or just leave.
Thinking though the possibilities, he turned and began walking to school. His parents were only going to ignore him anyway, it was better that he left then get his hopes up again. The morning was pretty cold but his jacket was big and bulky so it helped keep him warm. He briskly walked until he finally reached the school at 5:46am. He made his way to the locker room and changed into his jumper, cap, goggles, and a towel over his shoulder. He folded his towel neatly, placed it against the wall and stepped onto the platform. He had 5 minutes before his teammates and couch would arrive, plenty of time to get a few laps in. He pushed off the board and smoothly stabbed the water with his body. He stayed under the water, until the last second before he had to flip and turn. He always felt like himself in the water, it made him feel alive. He was never sad in the water.
Almost every day he would go to the public pool and swim until the end of the day after school. Every time he got a note from his parents saying they would be home, and they wouldn't show, he would sneak into the pool and swim. It was his therapy, he basically grew up in the water. Then during school, his peers would pick on him about having no parents and being a dork. One day he snapped and stood up for himself. Swimming made him strong, and from then on, people left him alone. Jimmy and Johnny were always by his side when they joined the school swim team in middle school. They were the only two friends he really had, and wanted.
"Vincent! Out of the water!" His couch yelled. Damn, she can be a pain; he surfaced and smiled at the lovely women.
"Mrs. Shirley, My apologies, I was not expecting you so early." Double D smiled charismatically.
She never bought it, "its 6am Vincent, and you're the early one. I have ASKED you countless times not to swim until everyone arrives." Edd only chuckled and pulled himself out of the water, sitting on the edge of the pool, "Pardon me Mrs. Shirley, I will do better next time."
"You always say that Vincent, I doubt you will EVER do better." She began tapping her shoes impatiently. Everyone had arrived and was waiting for him to abide to her commands.
He sighed and got out fully, "Mrs. Shirley you wound me, are you implying I am not an adequate swimmer?"
She looked at him dangerously, "I am saying, Vincent, that you get on my nerves, and would LOVE for you to be off this team…" He voice quieted. Edd knew the students and teacher would throw a huge fit should he be kicked off the team. Edd was the best on the team, though he would never admit that out loud. He only smiled at her, "of course Mrs. Shirley." She grimaced and began her routine.
"Ok, freshman over here, everyone else other there." She point to opposite places and stepped aside. Double D recognized Jimmy, and Johnny on the freshman side, but the two other boys he could not discern. Mrs. Shirley gestured to the freshman team, "These are our new teammates: Jimmy, Johnny, Jacob and Zach". Someone from Double D's side snickered, "Odd ball out". Double D figured it was Lucas from the voice.
"Mr. Virden, would you like to start doing laps now?" Mrs. Shirley voiced, though she was a small women, her voice sure could carry. Lucas suddenly became quiet. She began telling them how practice usually goes and had of his teammates demonstrate the correct ways to swim. From freestyle to the butterfly. She kept Double D out of the water on purpose, which only made him agitated. Around 7 he was finally granted access to the water and they began doing laps. He was stuck behind the new boy Zach. He could tell from his form that Zach had never swam in his life. He figured his parents wanted him to join a sport, or he wanted to join one himself, and this was his only option.
"Vincent it's not a race!" Edd smirked and turned on his back to look at his couch while continuing his stride, "I do realize that we are doing laps Mrs. Shirley, I apologize for returning to me usually speed." He flipped back over and slowed his pace. They continued laps for half an hour when he was first to exit the pool. He saw the new kid Jacob was second to exit, the expression on Jacobs face was easily recognized by Double D. Today was going to be trouble.
Soon the rest of his teammates exited and were waiting for a few more teammates. He felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned. Johnny was standing behind him, however his face was serious, and he nodded to the group of kids next to the life guard stand. Double D walked over closer and grasped the situation easily. Jacob was talking smack.
"I was number one at my old school, always winning them first place trophies and what not. Who is your number one guy? I'd love to challenge him". His smirk told everyone he was confident in his skill. Kellin, a junior on his team, pointed to Double D, "That's would be him." Everyone around him nodded and quieted down. Jacob's grin only widened.
"I figured." Jacob grinned. Edd smirked and his eyes became dangerous, don't take on anyone you can't handle kid, "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Mr.….?" Jacobs smile fell, he was not expecting Edd to speak in such a way. He began to laugh as if he heard the funniest joke. Edd kept his smile, but he felt himself tensing up, getting angry.
"Oh, oh man, I'm sorry I was NOT expecting you to sound so formal." Jacob wiped a tear from his eye, and Edd lowered his hand. His teammates understood and backed up. Double D grew closer to Jacob, "It seems you have me at a loss. Were you looking for a challenge or did you wish to relinquish now?" Jacob stopped laughing and was all business now, "you expect it to be a challenge?" The last boy was now exiting the pool and realized now was the perfect time. Edd stepped behind and took the first platform. When Jacob realized, he took platform 2 and they both took off. Double D stayed under as usual, confident in his skill. He could hear Mrs. Shirley screaming at the both of them, however they both continued. That is until he noticed Johnny's hand pointing out of the water.
Double D immediately stopped and looked around him, his teammates where looking at the two entrance doors. Edd heard his teammate Peter yell out, "We can all see that dweeb". The team laughed. Edd motioned forward to get a better look at the so called 'dweeb.' It was then that Double D recognized the frightened figure. A boy wearing a red cap, green sweater tucked into his khakis and grasping his books and papers got Edd's attention. Kevin.
"Peter's, 10 laps!" Mrs. Shirley screeched, and Peter stopped laugh, pulling his cap over his head he jumped into the water. Double D didn't exactly have time to think, he just acted suddenly, surprised at his actions at first, but remained calm. Double D was a pretty good liar, though he admitted he didn't like to lie, he would often do so.
"Couch, he's with me." Double D said he got out of the pool. He figured Kevin wouldn't recognize him without his sock hat on. Kevin looked exactly like he used to, however he seemed more mature now. He was still a skinny kid, but that only made Double D laugh silently to himself.
Kellin snickered, "Vince, I didn't take you as someone who made friends with-"
"Dr. Scott asked me to show a first year around." Edd manipulated his voice to sound menacing and dangerous, the air in the room shifted and everyone was silent; exactly what Edd wanted. Edd turned to Mrs. Shirley and gave his best, 'I'm-telling-the-truth' face. Hesitantly, she nodded. Double D was sure she was glad to be rid of him. Double D walked over to his towel, before walking over to Kevin. He could see Kevin tense up, but Double D grabbed him by the collar and dragging him to the locker room entrance, hoping Kevin would go along with his lie. Edd passed the showers and dropped him next to his locker, turning him away from his body. Kevin would probably die if he saw him change.
"Don't look nerd, or I'll kill you". Edd would never kill anyone, especially the cute little nerd next to him. Edd just knew Kevin would believe him, and Kevin stayed in his place, shaking lightly. He was so fragile and small. Maybe he took Double D's words too literally. He quickly changed pants so Kevin could unwind.
"Ok dork, you can relax now." Kevin shook still as he dropped his books and sat on the bench, looking up at Double D. Edd goggles shaded his eyes so Kevin was unaware Double D was even looking at him. Kevin was staring at him! He still had the same freckles and stature as he did a year ago. Edd couldn't believe it until he say Kevin's cheeks reddening. Edd swiftly hid behind his locker to hide his own blush, "You haven't altered in the slightest Pumpkin."
Edd knew that would get his attention. Double D was the only one that called him that, so he sneak a peek at him. Kevin had his eyes closed and his entire body was extremely tense. Double D was sure he had wet himself by now. He tried to stifle his laughter. He quickly tidied his locker while he listened to the cute nerd next to him talk.
"…I-I-I thought y-you left for good-d." Edd chucked at Kevin's nervousness, "On the contrary, I was given a rather virtuous opportunity." Kevin kept quiet. Edd started getting agitated, he didn't like not being able to see Kevin's eyes. He quickly changed the rest of his clothes and turned to the poor boy.
He sighed, smiling he said, "…Are your eyes going to stay locked the entire time I talk to you?" Kevin shut his eyes tighter but soon relaxed. His eyes finally opened, and Double D smiled. He could see the fire in Kevin's eyes, but the rest of him told him how absolutely petrified he was.
"Double D." Edd laughed at how tough Kevin was trying to be. "You're too adorable Kevin."
This apparently pushed Kevin to the edge, "Double D, I'm not gay, will you stop treating me like I am!" His voice echoed the entire locker room. Edd was shocked yet calm and in control. Kevin had never yelled at him, and by his knowledge, Double D was the only person Kevin EVER raised his voice too. He could see how scared Kevin was, which intrigued Double D.
He chuckled and shifted towards Kevin, pushing him against the lockers. Edd kept getting closer and closer to him. He knew touching him would probably make him piss his pants so he refrained for physical touch…for now. However, Edd took his right arm out of his pocket and laid it of so close to Kevin's face. He leaned forward, he was so close he probably could have kissed him. Double D smiled at his own thought. "Prove it".
"How?" Double D smiled even bigger seeing how assertive Kevin was.
Edd poked Kevin's nose, "You acquire a date to homecoming, and I shall leave you be." Double D knew how tough that was going to be. Kevin and girls never mixed. When he tried to ask Nazz on a date he chickened out, and dropped the subject entirely. Kevin's face fell and saw how lost he looked. Only at the last second did Double D realize Kevin had thought of an idea.
"De-"
Edd cut him off with his index finger to his lips, "No Nazz, no one from the cul-de-sac." Double D leaned in closer, eyes ablaze. Double D was in control, how he liked it. "Or, perhaps you will not be able to attain a date to the occasion, you can just admit defeat and kiss me now?" Edd dropped both arms and shifted his leg against the locker so that Kevin was trapped. Again Kevin began to blush. Edd could swear he could feel Kevin's heart race.
Then Double D could hear his teammates entering the locker room. Come on dork, I don't have all day, just kiss me.
"D-DEAL!" Kevin sputtered and sprinted out leaving the room quickly. Double D sighed and returned to his regular stature. He returned to his locker and grabbed his book bag.
"Double D were you giving the poor freshman a hard time?" One of the senior boys asked Double D. He only chucked.
"I thought the principal told you to show him around?" Peter's voice came from behind him. Double D looked him over the shoulder and smirked, "He got a lovely view of the locker room toilet." The locker room erupted in laughter, all except Edd who only smiled half-heartedly. He adjusted his bag and left the locker room, walking to his first class. He couldn't help but think of Kevin the whole day and what had happened those years ago.
Back in the cul-de-sac, Edd told Kevin he had to kiss the person he liked, he never thought it would be him. But after that kiss everything changed, every day Edd couldn't help but think of Kevin and the kiss. However, his reputation could have been severely damaged if the other kids knew about his feelings. Everyday Double D wished it never happened and everything went to normal, but should that have happened, his nerd wouldn't be his.
Double D sighed and rounded the corner before a voice stopped him.
"Hey Mr. #2!" Jacob's voice bellowed through the hall. Double D turned, smiling.
"My dear Jacob, you have me at another loss I'm afraid. Not only have you altered my real name for a different one, you have changed it to something I am unfamiliar with. I presume you mean to say either, Mr. Vincent or Mr. #1?" Jacob's face fell, but regained his composure.
"No you heard me right, I won that challenge."
"Mr. Jacob, when you challenge someone to a duel of some sort, you must first make sure it is actually a challenge for the opposing player". Double D chuckled silently at his joke. He could see Jacob getting angrier.
"Excuse me but I won that-" Edd held a hand to stop him, "If I may help, first of all, I had an interruption I needed to take care of. Second of all, to have a duel during practice is utterly preposterous. I apologize for not realizing sooner and letting my actions get the better of me. And lastly, as I said before, you must first make sure it is a challenge for the opponent."
Jacob's face only reddened with angry, he was not as built and not as tall as Edd, but he stood his ground. He grew closer to Edd, and was in his face, "Listen freak I-"
Edd suddenly tensed up. He was in school and couldn't teach the boy a lesson. Double D cut him off, "Mr. Jacob, people who use petty nicknames show to have less confidence than those who actually acquire a pair of balls. If you'll excuse me, I must get to class. After school I shall give you the opportunity to regain you're so called "challenge"." Double D turned and waved at the confused boy.
By the time he had rounded the next corner and was alone, he stopped to let himself calm down. Edd only tensioned, and threw his fist into the locker next to him. He had dented it but not as badly as some others. Double D had padded his gloves so when he couldn't constrain himself, he was protected. Double D looked at the looked and sighed, walking off to class.
