Chapter 1

Eddward Vincent (also known as Double D) woke up to his alarm, set precisely for 6:30 AM. He sighed and removed himself from his bed, knowing that if he stayed any longer, he would be late. Edd walked out of his room to his bathroom to shower, knowing that it would help him wake up for the first day of school.

Edd looked at himself in the mirror. He was about average height, around 5'11", skinny, and as pale as the moon. Many people thought he was malnourished, but that was not the case. He was just more academically inclined, rather than athletically; so he never filled his frame. Edd still had his gap in his teeth, just not as prominent since his parents had him in braces during middle school.

Once he was finished washing, Edd brushed his teeth, attempted to comb his raven hair, and got dressed. His clothes for the day were simple: a pair of gray skinny jeans, a short sleeved button up shirt, a pale blue sweater vest, and his signature beanie. Edd never took off his hat, knowing full well that people would make fun of him for the secret it held. He looked at the time and saw that it was 6:56 and started to panick. "I will NOT be late to school", he said to himself. This was senior year for the dork and his friends, and Edd was going to make it the best out of his high school career.

As he made his way downstairs he noticed a note on the front door. It read:

Dear Eddward,

Your father and I will be out of town for the next month due to our research. We apologize for not being able to send you off for your senior year. I have packed you a lunch and it is in the refrigerator. Remember to do your homework and chores before taking time for your friends. Call us if you have an emergency.

Love,

Mother and Father

Edd sighed, he had hoped they would have been here this morning; but understood that they could not. His parents were constantly away from home due to their research. They would be gone for months at a time. Once Eddward had proven he can take care of himself, his parents made their trips longer. He kicked himself mentally for believing today would be any different. "At least I still have my friends," Edd told himself sarcastically as he put his lunch into his messenger bag and slung it across his shoulder.

Freshman year had been shocking to say the least. The three Eds had separated on sour notes; shocking the cul-de-sac. They had been inseparable as long as anyone could remember. No one was sure why their friendship had dissolved, but it was not pretty. Eddy had been harsh to everyone who tried to ask what had happened, and told them to 'leave him alone'. Shortly after, he dropped out of school and had moved out with his brother. Ed had actually attempted to kill himself days after the event, saying that life was not worth living without his friends. He eventually moved out to the country with his grandparents, knowing that being in close proximity to the other Eds hurt him. Double D seemed to be the least affected out of the three. He was seen at school the next day, alone, but seemed untroubled. Edd had been used to putting up a face in front of people; so no one could see the boiling emotions under his porcelain doll like face. Therein lies the beginning of his new friendship with Marie Kanker.

After school, Marie followed Edd home, as she knew no one would be okay after ending a friendship like that. She pestered him until he relented, and allowed her to come into his home. Thus Marie proceeded to break his walls; finding out what had happened between the three. After that, Double D was never seen alone. The bluenette was always with him throughout their high school years; protecting and caring for the fragile soul she had befriended. Many thought that the two were dating. One person dared to call them out on it, and he found himself planted into the floor by the Kanker. No one would dare make the mistake again.

Edd stepped out of his home at exactly 7 am. This gave him time to walk the 20 minutes to Peach Creek High School with 15 minutes to spare. He smiled when he saw the petite, blue haired girl waiting for him at the corner.

"Good morning Marie! Are you prepared for this year of academic pursuits?"

Marie sighed, looked at Edd, and said "It's too early for this bull shit. Let's go."

Edd glared at her. He never said anything about her language because he found it endearing, even if it was vulgar. Marie had grown to be quite lovely to look at. She stood at around 5"3" and had all the right curves for a woman. She wore combat boots today with black jeans and a black hoody.

Edd has told her before that she was beautiful and would consider dating her, if he happened to not like the same sex. Eddward was gay and he always knew he was, but never knew a term for it until their middle school years. He had came out to Marie their sophomore year, so as to help her understand why he hadn't asked her out on a date. No one else knew his secret, and wanted to keep it that way, not knowing how people would react.

As they started walking they talked about their summer and the adventures they had; their conversation was interrupted by a monstrous noise that nearly scared Eddward to death. The two turned and saw a helmeted figure drive by on a navy blue motorcycle and continued to watch until he was out of sight.

"That motorcycle of his is dangerous. He really should just walk." Eddward said.

"As if," Marie responded, "he will always take a chance to show off his 'baby'."

They both shared a laugh at the mention of Kevin calling his motorcycle his baby.

Marie continued,"Plus I know you like how he looks on it Double D."

Edd blushed and turned his face from her. Yes he like Kevin and wasn't necessarily ashamed about it, but he knew that he would never be able to call Kevin his own.

Kevin was the star athlete in Peach Creek High. He was captain of the football and baseball teams and the epitome of male beauty. He stood at a beautiful 6'2", muscular, and tan. The exact opposite of Edd. He was startled by Marie.

"Helloooooo, Earth to Double D," Marie said. "You still with me lover boy?"

Edd laughed. "Sorry, I guess I zoned out for a bit. What were you saying?" Marie cackled at Edd and told him to look at his watch. He checked and it was currently 7:15, they were behind schedule. At this rate they were going to be late to school.
