Peach Creek High School was bustling with activity; students flooding into the halls. As usual, there was gossip and chatter echoing about the white and peach colored hallways, students standing at their lockers and discussing their summers. Kevin heaved a tired sigh and put in the combination for his locker. Summer was over, and today being the first day of senior year for the elder cul-de-sac kids. As the ginger football captain retrieved a notebook from his locker, he noticed that a hush had fallen across the hall, seemingly the entire school. Glancing around, green eyes scanned the area for the reason that had caused all of the conversation to lull into a murmur, if not silence.

The crowd somewhat parted as a boy walked through the hall, not saying a word. He kept his oceanic eyes forward, his back straight, and his mouth shut. He was wearing a white t-shirt that looked slightly strained across his chest, with a black jacket over top. He also wore nicely fitted darker wash jeans and a pair of red high-tops. Kevin stared at this boy for a long moment before something finally gave away his identity—a black beanie situated just right on his head, hiding his hair.

'Double Dweeb?' he thought in surprised, mouth slightly agape. Said boy continued walking in silence until his reached the locker that must have been his; directly to the left of Kevin. The jock looked at Double D out of the corner of his eye. It was clear that the former nerd had put on muscle, seeing as his shirt was slightly too tight and his jeans seemed to be barely containing his legs. Overall, he looked really damn good.

"Hello, Kevin." Double D finally broke the silence, pulling out an AP Physics and an AP Calculus textbook from his locker.

"Hey," was all Kevin could say before the other shut his locker and walked off to class. No eye contact, no other words spoken. Kevin scowled slightly, shutting his locker a bit loudly. After Edd entered his classroom, the hallway was abuzz with chatter once again. As Kevin walked through the crowd, he picked up bits of conversation.

"He really changed over the summer."

"Did you hear what happened to his mom? It's so sad."

"Double D is so different! He hasn't talked to anyone yet."

Adjusting his hat on his head, Kevin entered his classroom and took a seat quietly in the second row. Somehow, he had ended up with grades high enough to take AP Physics, though it was certainly not a class he was looking forward to. He had two AP classes, physics, and history. After he situated himself in his desk, Kevin looked at the back of the head of the person sitting in front of him. Black beanie, black jacket.

'Great.' He thought, leaned his elbow on the desktop and resting his chin on his fist. He noticed that Edd had placed his notebook on the desk, one pen, and his textbook. It seemed unusual, simply because the last Kevin remembered, Edd would being an assortment of highlighters, a calculator, pens, pencils, the whole nine yards.

As the teacher began to talk about the syllabus and what to expect from the class, Kevin slowly lost his will to pay attention. He kept thinking about Edd, this new version of Edd, that was sitting in front of him. Edd's shoulders had broadened and bulked up, though not to the extent that Kevin's had. Kevin was definitely larger in mass than the other teen, however, it was quite clear that their size difference was slowly diminishing. Kevin was still taller by quite a few inches, but that was likely all he had on Edd now. He could, every now and then, smell what he assumed was Edd's shampoo; it smelled like blueberries. There was something else that Kevin felt from Edd, but he couldn't exactly put his finger on it. His demeanor was certainly different, but there was this feeling he got from Edd. It was almost solemn, and lonely?

The bell ringing shocked Kevin out of his thoughts. He gathered his belongings and stood up to leave, noticing that Edd was already exiting the room. Kevin's next two classes dragged on, until the lunch bell rang; his saving grace from boredom. The football star strolled into the cafeteria, sitting down with his normal group of friends; the jocks and cheerleaders. His best friend, Nazz, sat beside him. She hadn't changed much, the biggest changes being her hair was now to her waist and her chest had filled out well. She was extremely attractive, with a very loud and ecstatic personality.

"Hey Kev! How are your classes so far?" she asked, taking a bite of an apple from her lunch tray.

"Boring as hell. I can't wait for this year to be over." He groaned, rubbing his face with his hands before looking at Nazz.

"Hey, have you seen Double Dork?" Kevin asked, his emerald eyes curious. The blonde nodded as she chewed the most recent bite of her apple.

"Yeah! He looks so different! I couldn't even believe that was him today." She replied. The redhead gazed around the cafeteria, eyes searching for the new Edd. To his disdain however, Edd was nowhere to be seen. He easily spotted the other Ed's; Eddy's green hair sticking up in all directions, loudly talking to big Ed, who had grown quite a bit. Everyone seemed a little different after the summer. Ed was wear an ROTC uniform that suited him well, and Eddy had not tried to scam anyone (yet).

"What happened to the dork over summer?" Kevin asked, trying not to sound overly interested.

"You didn't hear? His mother committed suicide at the end of junior year." Nazz spoke softly, her eyes sad. Kevin's eyes widened in shock, unable to reply. He had always heard how perfect and well-off Edd and his family were, he had never seen or heard anything to imply otherwise. Edd's mother passing away must have been a surprise to everyone. Suddenly, Kevin stood from his seat at the table.

"I'm gonna go find him." He decided aloud, leaving the table as Nazz waved goodbye to him. He wondered out of the cafeteria, heading down the hallway his locker was in. He had not seen the beanie-wearing boy go into any rooms, and this school was not exactly small.

'How the hell am I gonna find him? I'm such an idiot.' Kevin sighed to himself. Why did he even want to find the nerd? None of this was any of his business. As Kevin ascended the flight of stairs at the far end of the hallway, he could distantly hear something that sounded like soft music. As he continued up and turning down the hallway, Kevin headed to the room that he knew was the band room. The music grew louder as he approached, a truly beautiful sound filling his ears. Peeking into the window of the door, Kevin could see Double D standing, alone, in the room. He held a violin on his shoulder, and was playing. His eyes were closed, his hands working seemingly on their own accord, producing a hauntingly marvelous melody. Kevin lingered for a moment, listening to the musical abilities of the nerd he used to beat up. A strange feeling crawled up Kevin's spine, a nervous knot settling in his stomach. He could feel his cheeks heating up slightly, and immediately moved out of view from the window. As the music slowly faded away, Kevin rushed back to the staircase and quickly descended as the bell for class rang.

What was this feeling? He couldn't put it into words. It was almost like intrigue, maybe fascination? He wanted to listen to that beautiful instrument again. He enjoyed the look on Edd's face as he played; serene and soft. The way his body was positioned made it easier for Kevin to imagine the layer of muscle that was on the previously thin boy. He wanted to hear more, to know more about this boy. But why? Why was Double Dork, the brains of the Ed's, now so fascinating?

Kevin slouched in his seat in his AP history class, watching other students file in. For a second, he felt like his heart stopped, as Edd entered the room and sat in the desk immediately in front of Kevin. Frowning as his cheeks heated up, Kevin leaned back heavily in his chair. Did he…like Edd? No, that's ridiculous. He was still just some nerd, with a new outfit. The ginger crossed his arms over his chest, his mind a jumbled mess all class.

He needed to figure Edd out. He needed to know what changed. For the rest of the day, Kevin attempted to watch Edd from a distance. He was frustrated, not knowing exactly what was different. Sure, there were plenty of physical differences, but there was something more.

Leaving school gave Kevin a smile that hadn't shown up all day; he was free for the rest of the day. Football practice didn't start until the next week, and he had no homework. As he climbed onto his motorcycle, Kevin noticed his newfound fascination walking down the sidewalk, textbooks in hand. He couldn't help but frown, watching the boy walk alone toward his home; which was coincidentally across the street from Kevin.

'Maybe I'll talk to him tomorrow.' The ginger decided as he started up his bike, heading off in the direction of his house. When he passed Double D, he swore that for just a second, he heard someone singing, in an astounding voice.

"What is wrong with me?"
