"What is this?" Edd asked skeptically as he looked at the roses that lined his drive way. "This is completely illogical. Why would one use roses as a way to get attention?" Edd walked down his driveway to find a parked motorcycle and a note. "Now this is just ridiculous." Edd picked up the note and read it quietly to himself.
Double Dork,
Meet me in the park at 2:30 today or else.
Kevin.
Edd blushed slightly reading this note. What does Kevin, one of the few guys who hates the Ed's, want with me, he wondered. Well I must not be late to school… He thought to himself nervously. This is crazy why would Kevin want to meet with me? Edd wondering in awe. Edd shrugged and left, not wanting to be late for school.
School was normal for Edd, easy learning, and then it was time for him to teach the class, being as he was so far ahead and the Teacher enjoyed the break. As he was teaching he caught the eyes of Kevin in the back of the room. Kevin looked at him in a most peculiar way. Why is he looking at me like I am a easily frightened deer? He wondered. Edd glanced at the clock, 1:30, one more hour until the time he was supposed to meet up with Kevin. Well at least the question of the Roses will be answered… He thought as he went through the reasoning behind the fundamental theorem of Calculus.
The dreaded hour had come upon Edd. He walked to the park, shaking in his boots, wondering what Kevin wanted to say to him. He held the note in sweaty hands. They were in High School now, their senior year, their last time to shine before even he would leave for college. It was weird to think the he, Ed, and Eddy would be separating after the many years of friendship that they had had. *well no time to ponder on that predicament now* He thought to himself. Edd looked up and saw Kevin, in his Baseball uniform, slightly sweaty, and blushed. *Why does he have to look so good?* He thought to himself, desperately trying to calm his beating heart.
"Hey Double D," Kevin said, catching Edd's attention and suprising him a bit. Kevin usually called him Double Dork or some other derogatory term, so why the sudden change?
"Salutations Kevin, I am quite curious as to why you called me out here today, so may I inquire why?" Edd was quite curious as to why in fact, he was doing all he could to not stare at the bit of his abs showing from his shirt pulled up as Kevin leaned on his bike.
Kevin stood up, adjusted his sweaty shirt, regretting that he decided to wait for the 30 minutes in the blazing heat rather than go and take a shower. "Well, I mean…. I just wanted to say…. Well more like ask…" Kevin stroked his neck nervously, then grabbing the tuft of hair that stuck out of his backwards baseball cap.
Edd laughed at Kevin's shyness, *this is so unlike him* he thought to himself. "Kevin, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I mean… I think so, but" Kevin took a deep breath, "Will you go on a date with me?" Kevin blushed hard, looking away.
Edd stumbled back in surprise. "What… I mean really?" Edd began to blush slightly. *Is this really happening, is this very beautiful guy really asking me out* Edd looked at Kevin and felt the unfamiliar feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Kevin looked up at the little ravenette, both embarrassed and nervous. *What if he says no, What if he says YES?* Kevin was about to say screw it and walk away, when the ravenette looked at him with his blue eyes, *those blue eyes that I see in my dreams…* Kevin began to trail off, then snapped back as Edd began to talk.
"Kevin, I would love to go out on a date with you." Edd smiles a shy smile at Kevin. Kevin nearly melted with that smile. Kevin smiled back, and was quite elated.
"Ok, how about Saturday night, 8 pm, and I will pick you up. Sound good?" Kevin looked at Edd, expecting a no, even though Edd already said yes to the initial question.
Edd smiled shyly at him, "Sounds perfect…" Edd couldn't believe this was actually happening. He had always liked Kevin, perhaps that was because he was always more civil to Edd than he was to the other two.
Kevin did an inward fist Pump. *Hook, line, and sinker!* He thought to himself. "Well, I will see you then Double Dweeb." Kevin smiled warmly, ran to him motorcycle, looked back at Edd, then speed off.
Edd just watched as he left, not hurt by the nick name, but blushing because the way it was said was much less hurtful than it used to be. *I am really… going on a date with Kevin? Is this really happening?* Edd could not believe that this actually happened. Edd meandered back to his house, where he passed his mother, who kissed him on the head and said that she, along with his father, would be leaving for 2 weeks to go on a surgeon rescue to Africa.
"I left you $400 to buy food and entertain yourself," his mother told him with a soft smile. "I love you Eddward, as does your father, but I must be off." And with that, she swept up her suitcase and was out the door in no more than 2 seconds. Edd, however, did not mind all that much. He was preoccupied.
Edd brushed his teeth and went to be that night, finding that he was unable to sleep. He picked up his phone, and found Kevin's number, which he had previously from a Chemistry tutoring session he had held with Kevin, Rolf, and Nathan. Edd quickly typed out a text which read,
Hello Kevin, I was wanting to inquire if you were also having difficulty sleeping tonight?
Edd sighed and pressed send, only moments later realizing what he had done. *OH dear!* he though to himself. *I cannot take it back, it is now part of the virtual world, oh what do I do? What if he does not respond? What if he does?* With these questions roaming through his head, he felt a slight vibration, which came from his phone laying next to him on the bed. Edd picked it up warily, nervous at what he would find. It was a text from Kevin as he expected. He took a deep breath and opened the message.
Some what, I mean I definitely have been thinkin bout u, but I still am rather tired, but my mind wont shut up.
Kevin and his poor grammar made Edd laugh, he quickly typed a reply,
You sir, have despicable grammar. However, you have been thinking about me? May I inquire as to why?
Edd blushed at the thought of what the reply would be. Within 2 minutes he received a response. This time Edd did not hesitate to open the message but quickly opened it and read it, a slight blush coloring his cheeks as he did.
Well, Double Dork, I really like you, more than any girl I have ever dated… and I don't know why, but I really wanna find out.
Edd smiled, typed a quick good night, and fell into a blissful sleep.
