"Yo, Double D! Wake up!" Eddy yelled from outside Double D's two floor house. Double D popped his head out the front entrance,
"But Eddy, I am already awake."
Ed shouted with joy and flung his long arms over his head. As he rammed Double D into a tight hug. Double D cringed in the pain from being squeezed so tightly and he struggled to breath as he spoke,
"Ed! Too. Tight." and Ed dropped Double D and stared at him blankly before smiling widely once again. "I would hate to break up a grand reunion for the second time this week but we should head to school." Eddy's evil smirked flashed on his face, "I got me some money to make from 'em suckas."
Double D sighed to himself,
"Eddy, not another one of your scams. Don't you think we're getting a bit old for this nonsense?"
"We're never too old for money. Besides it's not like I'm tryna rob them blind, a few bucks wouldn't kill anybody. And if I does I'll put up a disclaimer on the product." He shrugs and starts walking down the circular sidewalk with his hands tucked into his jean pockets. Double D sighed again but followed, catching up with Eddy and walked on his side.
"Yo! Move!-" Someone said and Double D was rammed from behind and he fell onto the sidewalk with something big and metallic on top of him. Double D realized it was bike, but not any bike, it belonged to...
"I said move Double Dork! Now look at my bike!" Kevin said and he adjusted his red cap on his head as he lifted his bike off Double D and he examined his bike thoroughly.
"You're lucky it wasn't dented." Kevin told Double D with a strong angry tone and Double D pushed himself up standing with the help of Ed.
"So sorry Kevin. I didn't mean to be in your way." Double D said and Kevin gave him a puzzled look, "Just don't do it again Double Dweeb." He replied and quickly swung a leg over the other side of his bike and sped off the sidewalk.
"What a jerk. He runs over you and all he cares about is the stupid rundown bike of his." Eddy said and Double D shrugged a bit,
"What else is to be expected from Kevin? He's been that way since we were ten Eddy." Double D said and kept walking with Eddy and Ed.
"An apology wouldn't kill. I'm sure he can spare some ego to say sorry. His warning was too late, not even Matrix can dodge something like that." Double D shrugged again.
"I like chicken guys! Double D can we get a chicken!" Ed said with a goofy smile
"You can get a chicken after you complete high school with good grades Ed." Double D replied and that concluded their conversation and the trio just walked to school in silence.
As they walked into the school entrance Double D inhaled deeply, "Ah, the fresh smell of education in the morning." He said with a grin wide on his face and Eddy glared at him with a weird look,
"You have problems Double D." Double D laughed under his breath at that and he just shrugged smiling. The group enter the cafeteria for breakfast and then walked over to a small circular table fit for three with trays of breakfast in their hands.
The cafeteria didn't really had groups, more like one big group made of Kevin and the athletes and cheerleaders, and then others from the cul-de-sac sat together except Double D, Ed and of course Eddy. They sat together at small table nearby the exit of the cafeteria.
After they ate their breakfast Double D hurried over to his locker before class, leaving Ed and Eddy to themselves.
Double D's POV
I left Ed and Eddy at the cafeteria early and raced over to my locker. As soon as I get there it was covered in red and black ink, there were horribly hand written with insults like "faq" "nerdy" and more. Then there was those that were sentences, some of them threats, "go kill yourself haha!" "no one needs a nerd like you".
I was hesitant as I used all the strength in my arms to scrub it off but the marker they used was almost very permanent this time. I read them over and over and they echoed in my head but I knew I had to erase them before anyone else saw.
These instants started back in the 6th grade and ever since I would always go to my locker in the mornings to find more, rewrote in the spots the old one's were in. I tried reporting it to the teachers and even the principle back in middle school but they all said "Sticks and Stone Eddward, just don't let it get to you and one day it'll stop."
I'll like to know when exactly because this wait doesn't seem to come to an end...
I sighed as I finished rubbing off the last of the black ink and I leaned back against it with relief. I usually hide this from Ed and Eddy because I know they'll seek out the persecutors in attempts to stop it for my own safety but I rather not have them go to the trouble. I felt and ache in my right arm and I held it onto my chest and wrap my left arm over it with care.
Then something came into my sight and Kevin walked over and leaned onto the other side of the locker facing me. His eyes stared into mine with no detectable emotion until his lips moved and he spoke in a deep monotone voice,
"Why do you put up with it everyday?" What he said shocked me a bit and I took a second to inhale what he said, "I-I beg your pardon?" I stuttered in reply.
"You heard me. Why do you put up with it everyday; the constant bullying. Don't act all coy Double Dweeb, it's clear as day that you're be affected both mentally and physically." His eyes were then fixed onto my right arm that laid in my left arm and I look down to it as well. It's true that it hurts a lot and after reading those insults everyday I began to dwell in my insecurities as soon as I get home to an empty house.
A locket of hair had fell from my black beanie and slid down to over my left eye and I look back up to Kevin,
"Why would you care, out of all people? You were the one who invented "Double Dork" and "Double Dweeb" in the first place so why-" The school bell rang and Kevin then sighed as million of kids filled the hallway and the large gap between us and I blended into the stream of teenagers to hurry to class.
As soon as I entered I went over and sat in my desk, I placed an arm onto it and placed my head onto the palm of my hand as I half-listened to the teacher and stared outside the school window and towards the vast sea of autumn trees. Peach Creek was know for it's maple tree population but you could see the skyline of a city over the horizon and that's where my mind went to. I daydreamed about leaving this small town and into a large city, getting into politics probably and somehow becoming the city's mayor.
"Eddward!" The teacher snapped and I look over to him lazily. Raised a brow and gave him the "What?' stare.
"Please answer the question on the board." He said in the tone that assumed I wasn't listening, which I'm guilty to but I am already far ahead of this class. I go up to the board and pick up the piece of chalk then answer the history question with ease. I turn around and saw the teacher dumbfounded and some students giving me a disapproving look on their face. It was obvious of what they thought of me, smug and a bit too high on my throne but I just mentally shrugged it off.
The day went by quickly and then then bell rang and I was the last to walk out. Kevin was leaning on the locker outside the classroom. He worn his black jacket and his red cap on backwards. His green eyes were on me once again and I ignored him and headed towards my last class of the day but then something tugged onto my shoulder and I was forced to turn and face Kevin. Kevin was only about two inches taller but his eyes still had to look down to look into mine.
"What do you want?" I said with a slight grimace in my voice. As of that moment I hated Kevin, I usually feel hate for anyone who touches me so suddenly, except for Ed of course.
"We weren't done talking this morning." He said in the same monotone he had earlier.
"We weren't talking in the first place." I replied to him, keeping up my grimace. I was looking down at my shoelaces.
"Awe! The little faggot got's a boyfriend!" A couple jocks had said and both mine and Kevin's head snap towards them, their faces went from laughter to pure shock, "K-Kevin!? Why the fuck are you talking with the little faggling?!" Kevin just approached them in a slow walk and as soon as he was an arm reach to the main jock Kevin swung his fist into the jock's face and the jock flew back, begin caught by the other two that were backing him up. The jock covered his face with his two hands and blood leaked through his fingers as he looked at Kevin stunned with fear.
"Shut, the fuck, up. Next time I hear you call anyone a faggot I'll kick your ass so hard they doctors won't be able to fix ya." He took a quick turn and walked over to me and ignored the jocks entirely
"Look, Double Dweeb, whether you like it or not I'm gonna be your b-" I raised a brow at him as he stumbled on his word, "bodyguard! G-Got it!" He said and I could have sworn I saw a slight red on his face, he's probably just that pissed then the bell rang and I was gonna be late for class. Now it was my turn to be pissed.
"Tch. Fuck off Kevin." I said and turned then started off to class. Great, now I'm late, fucking bastard.
