Hello! First fic on this site. Gonna be kinda smutty maybe depends on my mood. Kittink here with my OC Jourdon Kaide. Follow my shit on Tumblr at .com or on my R!Edd rp blog .com.

Nat is not mine but I'm pretty sure everyone knows he belongs to C2ndy2c1d. I only hope I didn't fuck him up completely. Dear god.

Jourdon doesn't play too much a roll, I wanted to introduce her in the chapter but that's mostly it! Enjoy!

BEEP BEEP BEEP-

The alarm went off, waking the sleeping teen nearby. He groaned, pulling his blanket over his head. Eddward sat up in his bed, bleary eyed, contemplating whether or not he should skip school today… he didn't feel much like dealing with the loud, mundane life that school brought upon. Perfect attendance meant nothing to him now, not since middle school. With life moving along the way it was, Eddward found himself needing the breaks he gave, not that anyone cared, he was alone most days, parents gone for months at a time, leaving their only child to care for himself.

The quiet was poison to his brain, pulsing and making him nauseated with longing to spend time with someone who wouldn't hurt him.

He got out of his bed, ate a small meal, walked out to the bus stop. It was a miracle the routine hadn't left grooves in the floor. The other teens and a few younger kids chattered about, Eddward just pulled his hood up and over to block out the excess noises of stupidity. The dweebish chatter grew when the bus pulled up, a bullet to hell, loading them up and shipping them off. Eddward took his usual seat by the window as the bus made its other rounds. Pulling up to the last stop, a loud voice took over the rest.

"Outta my way! God, slowpokes! Move it!" The female had her red hair tied back, amber eyes glaring at the smaller children who wouldn't hurry up. She took her seat next to Eddward. "Sup, doofas?"

"Jourdon, I'd prefer if you wouldn't name call so early in the morning." He sighed. She was always so noisy.

"Oh hush up Mr. Fussypants." She rolled her eyes. "It's just a joke, where's your sense of humour?"

"Down the toilet with the rest of your bullshit." He retorted.

"Oh ha ha you're so funny."

"What part of shut up don't you understand, Jourdon?"

"Call me Jo, Edd, we've been over this."

"First Nathan, now you? I'm calling you by your birth name. Deal."

Jourdon pouted but went quiet for the remainder of the ride, Edd could be really rude when he so desired.

School was just as dull and repetitive as he'd assumed it would be. The drab hum drum and chit chat was mind numbing and it was all he could do not to just leave campus for the solitude of his home. Friends made most of the day at least more agreeable if not better. Between Jimmy's complaints about everyone in sight and Johnny's schizo ramblings, it wasn't boring. Yet even still his mind was drawn other places, the dream he'd had keeping a smirk on his face as the subject of said affections walked passed him, pretending not to notice his presence.

"James, Johnathan. I believe I've found our entertainment." He smirked and stalked off after the smaller boy, two friends in tow.

"Why are we bothering him? I'd rather not have anything to do with his disgusting ass." Jimmy's upturned nose never missed a beat, always open with his opinions no matter how rude.

"Because it's fun to see him snivel." Eddward responded cooly.

Johnny looked like he wanted to say something but instead it sounded more like an insane monologue of muttered tones and hushed breath, clutching a hunk of wood to his chest.

Kevin stopped at his locker, praying to god they'd just leave him be for one day. He didn't want to have to deal with the bullying any longer but it seemed as though no one would assist. The echo of footsteps drawing near caused his body to tense and he froze, hoping it was not them.

"Pumkin~" Eddward's voice trilled, his tone held a hint of malicious intent. "You haven't said hello all day. I'm beginning to think you don't like me~"

"That's cuz I don't…" Kevin muttered under his breath, finding the response was Eddward harshly turning him around.

"Care to speak up, Pumkin?"

"I said I was sorry."

"That's what I thought."

"Edd, come on already." Jimmy tapped his foot impatiently.

"Hold your fuckin' horses, fruitloop, I'm busy." He hissed in return. "Got any plans this Friday, Pumkin?"

Truthfully, he did, but saying so would anger his tormenter… but he couldn't cancel on Nazz! "I um… I do… actually."

"Tough. I need help with a project and you're going to assist." Edd smirked. "Just you, not your twerpy little friends."

"I have plans though! I was supposed to meet Nazz-"

"Tell her you can't make it."

"I'm not going to just ditch her because you told me to!"

"Johnny," Edd looked back at his friend, watching as he grinned, a devious look in his eye. He raised the chunk of wood he had dubbed 'Plank' as a child, swinging the imaginary friend at Kevin's face, knocking his glasses clear from his face and sending Kevin smack against his locker. Eddward gripped the collar of his sweater, tugging him close.

"Don't refuse me." He hissed. "I'll see you on Friday." He let Kevin go and stepped back, the other two following him to his next class, laughing with each other over how pathetic Kevin was.

Kevin waited until they were gone, reaching for his glasses, having great difficulty finding them.

"I got it, bro, don't worry." The familiar voice was a relief this time, Nat handed the coke bottle glasses back to Kevin. Upon realising they had a crack in the side, he groaned.

"They broke another pair…" The ginger sighed. His father wouldn't be pleased.

"Pretty sure they hit you hard enough to give you a black eye… what's that ass want with you anyways?" Nat sighed, helping his friend off the floor.

"Said he needed help with a project…"

"Dude, no one needs help that bad, especially not him, he's brilliant. So I highly doubt he needs your help with school… something strange is up here."

"I can't very well stand him up, he'll break my nose too."

"C'mon, we'll worry about it later. Nazz is waiting in study hall."

~.~.~

"Again?! I'm gonna rip that son of a cow a new one." Nazz's teeth ground together in rage of the story the two boys told.

"Nazz please… there's nothing anyone can do and I don't think he cared if he hits a girl or not." Kevin frowned. "You could get hurt because of me, I'm not gonna let you do that…"

"Kevin for god's sake learn to stick up for yourself!" She stood abruptly, hands slamming on the table. "Bully's like that get a kick out of making you squirm! Don't let him get to you!"

"I tried to do that, Nazz, but look what happened!" He shoved his face in his hands. "It's so much easier to do what he wants… we'll have to go to the movies on Saturday, is that okay?"

She was clearly not appeased by his solution, lips pursed tightly, she conceded. "Fine. Saturday. Have fun ruining your life, Kevin."

The remaining two sat in silence for a moment, watching Nazz leave to ask the teacher for a bathroom pass. The sound of pencils scratching paper and whispered chatter filled the air. After a moment, Kevin looked over at Nat.

"She hates me doesn't she?"

"Nah dude, she's just worried is all. She does have a point. You can't keep letting Edd push you around. It's not good for you, you're only gonna end up even worse off than before. He was just born a dick." Nat shrugged.

Kevin nodded, Edd had been a horrible person for as far back as- "Actually… he wasn't always this bad… when he moved here he was incredibly shy… really nice kid. Always has been smart… but… I'm not sure what happened exactly… It seems like… somewhere in middle school I think he was just nasty. Come to think of it he had this weird break down in the middle of the cafeteria and ever since then he was just… a huge jerk…" He hadn't really thought about it before, he wasn't sure why he hadn't, if he could just find out what made Eddward become so horrible, perhaps if he found out he could attempt to fix it… "Nat I have an idea."

"Oh man, that sounds dangerous." Nat teased.

"Hush up and listen. What if we found what made Edd snap? Y'think we could fix it?" Kevin proposed.

"Huh… possibly. How do you suggest we go about this?"

"I suppose… we could start with Friday."

Nat grinned. "Operation FixED is a go!"
