I do not own any of Ed Edd n Eddy This work is made just to entertain and be enjoyed by all readers. Hope you enjoy the story. Reviews are welcome. Characters will be OC at times.
Eddward is a very unique person. For starters he wears a hat everywhere he goes no matter what happens of what is going on and never removes it. He is also the smartest and most sane person in the Cul-de-sac. Most of the people he grew up with just call him Double D, Sock Head, or just a normal Edd. Edd is average in height standing at five foot eight inches(172.72 cm). His clothing consists of very baggy but neatly kept clothing. He is one of the friendliest person in the the Cul-de-sac but he is always attack by his peers because of one of his dear friends Eddy. But the Edd I am describing is only an allusion as he grew up he started to show his true colors, as did everyone else in the Cul-de-sac.
Edd pov
I awake long before my alarm goes off. I always do. I just lay here for hours until it does trying to sleep or just looking at the darkness and listening to the empty home. By the time the alarm finally goes off at five I am already showered and dressed in a black hoodie, a red t-shirt, black pants, and my hat. I walked out of the house, locking the door.
"What a bleak and meaningless day." I said softly to myself before walking to my car and getting in. It was a black sports car with white lettering on the side that read "To The End". I started the car and drove to get some groceries for the next few days.
I walked into the store, quietly got my food, and paid for it before returning home. After I had put away the food I grabbed an apple and started to eat in the silent house.
After I finished and threw away the apple I headed to my room to pack my bag for school, not that I need it. I am already four weeks ahead of all my classes and my college courses are done for this term. I left the house again at seven thirty headed to school this time.
Upon arriving I parked in my spot before grabbing my back and getting out of the car. I walked to class quietly my hood over my hat hiding my face from the world in the shadows that it caused. I looked around as my classmates slowly came into the class. Eddy and Ed were some of the first to show up, surprisingly.
Eddy finally had his grow spurt in the freshmen year but he is still a little short at five foot five inches. . He is now the class president for our grade. People have come to like Eddy after he gave up the scams he made me and Ed help him with. He even is making money now, legally maybe. And Ed is... well Ed. He has hardly changed at all. The only small part of him that has changed is the fact that he is a little smarter now. He is still the tallest of us Cul-de-sac at six foot five inches.
Eddy looks at me and nods while Ed just waves. I wave back not saying a word. We are more of acquaintances instead of friends now. They then sit at their seats talking about random stuff until more people came in and the bell rang.
Our teacher came in just as the bell rang and started to drone on about this week's lessons. I just yawned and put in my earbuds after a moment. I scrolled through my playlists until I found the one I wanted and put it on replay and just listened to it through the whole class period.
At the bell everyone left quickly. I was the last to leave. As I walked out my head down looking at the floor I walked into Kevin. Making him drop some of his books and surprising me some.
He was talking with Nazz before I hit him nearly lost his balance at the surprise. "Hey! Watch where you-," He then turned his head from the books and looked at me and said, "Oh. Sorry, Double D I thought you were one of the idiots punks around here."
I picked up his Chemistry and Geometry books then gave them to him then said, "Sorry Kevin." I said softly and then walked to my class only barely giving a nod when Nazz waved at me.
Kevin has grown to be a nicer person to most people including myself after he finally saw how he was treating us in middle school. He is five foot seven inches in height but only being his second year of high school he is already the captain of the football team. He still wears his hat, just as I do. Like his hat most of his clothing choices have been similar to his old clothes but still very new. Nazz is still the attraction of most of the guys in the school. She is the captain of the cheerleaders and Kevin's best friend. She stands at only five foot three inches in height. She is still very nice to everyone around her
I walked into the classroom just in time to see Jonny 2x4's best friend Plank come flying at me. I caught it right before it hit me and glared at the kid who throw it at me before giving Plank to Jonny.
"Thank you Double D." He smiled at me brightly as he said it clearly happy his friend was back with him. Jonny is the same as he has always been with his 'friend' Plank.
"Welcome." I said before walking past him walking to my chair and sat down. I went through my next two classes before lunch with little trouble from anyone else. I picked up my lunch before walking to my spot outside and sat down under the giant tree. No one else eats lunch out here beside me.
I ate my apple in silence as I looked up at the sky. I yawned and stretched my arms above my head popping my back. "I really need to sleep more. This is not very healthy at all." I saw someone coming my way as I looked back down and was not very surprised that it was Marie. She sat down beside me and smiled at me.
"How are you?" She asked like every day. I replied with my normal answer of 'fine'. "You don't look so good today," She said, "Not getting enough sleep?" Marie grew out of her insane liking me stage just before freshmen year. She is now my best friend.
"No I did not. But you already know that, as do most of the people in this school. I hardly sleep anymore." I said looking at the sky.
"Nightmares?" She asked as she leaned on my shoulder. She always knew what was going on. But since it never has changed from that day at all.
"Yeah. Always the same and always terrible to relive." We never talked about it we just talk about school or anything beside that. All of the Cul-de-sac kids know what happen and they know about the nightmares but I will not say anything about it at all.
We sat in silence until the bell rang. "Time to go back to being bored it seems." I said wishing it was the end of the day already. "There is no need for me to be here at all."
We walked to her class and before she went in she gave me a hug and said, "There is always a need for you to be here Edd. Where would I be without my best friend to hang out with?" She smiled at me then said, "So don't think like that please. See you later."
I watched her go into her class before walking to the library to help out as a student aid. As I walked in the librarian smiled at me and told me the things she needed help with. "Thank you for being such a good helper Eddward." She said smiling brightly.
"It's my job to help out not to just get a free period like the others at this school." I said as I walked off to set up some books and see if any of the missing ones are back yet. I took off my hood and sighed a little happily as I hummed lightly to myself as I put up all of the books and looked for the missing ones. I found seven of the thirty books on the list and gave them to the librarian before I started to organize the books again to put them back in order.
One of the underclassmen come up to me and asked me where they can find a good mystery book. I smiled and wrote down a list of a few I thought were very good. They thanked me then walked away to go find them. I hummed some more as I kept working as I got back to work I was a little sad when I looked at the clock and saw it was almost time for sixth period. I walked to the front carrying a few books with me on a few popular authors and checked them out.
"Thank you for all the work today, Eddward." The librarian said smiling as she checked out my books for me and gave me a book marker in each of them. "Without you this would be terrible to try to keep this library straight. They really need to hire another person to help out."
"Maybe next year they will be able to. Until then I will help all I can." I said as I walked out with my books in hand and tugged my hood back onto my head. Just as I set one foot out the door the bell rang as I walked to my locker. I unlocked the locker then put four of my eight books I checked out in it.
Marie walked up to me and her smile widen as she looked at me. "Why such a big smile?" Asked her a little confused as to why she would be smiling that big with it just being me.
"You look a little happier now Edd. Library helped again today." She said as I finally noticed I had a small smile on my face. "Smiling looks good on you. I wish you would do it more Edd."
She hugged me and I returned it. After a moment we let go and I said, "Let's head to class. Don't want to be late." We started to walk to my, surprisingly, favorite class of the day Home Ec.
"Yeah. Don't want to miss our favorite class." She smiled at me as we walked. She suddenly interlocked our arms then dragged me the rest of the way catching me by surprise. We were the first in the class and she dragged me to our station before letting go and laughed. "Sorry about that Edd. But I wanted to surprise you some today. The look on your face is always priceless."
She kept laughing as I glared at her before smiling darkly. "Good job. Now then, I think retribution is in order." I said before walking slowly to her as she backed away still laughing and shaking her head.
"No it does not Edd." She said as she was backed into the wall looking up at me still giggling. I looked back down at her and smiled again and leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
"Thank you Marie." I said as I walked to get the apron on and get ready for the class as other started filing in. She looked a little shocked that I had not done something bad to her then she got her stuff ready as well. "Thought I was going to attack you? Well I am in a good mood right now. Maybe later though." I said smiling lightly at her.
"You really are a mystery Edd." She said smiling. "An amazing mystery. Must be why I choose you to be my best friend. I love mystery." She lightly bumped our shoulders together.
The class went by with little trouble beside one group's creation blowing up in the oven because they did not read the instructions very well. As we cleaned up Marie and I gave some help to the group. "You guys are always the best at cooking. Could you teach us someday?" One of them asked.
Marie and I looked at each other and she nodded then I turned to them and said, "Sure. Tomorrow we will help you a little and try to teach you a little better." They both thanked us and then got their stuff and left. Marie and I were the last two out and we walked to our next class.
"Time for P.E." She said as we stopped to grab our clothes for it. "Wonder what we are doing today. Hopefully not dodgeball again." She groaned at the thought of it. She hated it because Ed is in the class and she always somehow ends up on the other team from him.
"It's not that bad Marie. I hear we are swimming today anyway." I said to her and saw her perk up at that smiling.
"Yes! At least that is easy to do." She said nearly jumping in the air in joy. "Plus I get to see the best swimmer in the school in action." She add smiling at me as we walked into the gym then after the teacher told us to change into swimming wear we walked to the changing rooms. After we both changed and got out we walked over to the steps by the pool then we sat down on the steps beside Ed, Eddy, and Rolf.
They all looked at us and then smiled before Eddy said, "Try not to beat us up to much today Sockhead. You are like a shark in these waters." Ed And Rolf both nodded at this. I am the fastest swimmer in the school. I have won all of the swim meets in first so far. I hated this class so much until I discovered swimming. It made me feel at home and safe in the water.
I smiled back before saying, "No holding back when it sport Eddy. After all… I am the shark, am I not? I should always try 100% or someone will knock me out of my spot." Eddy just laughed and smiled at me.
"It's nice to have you back, Sockhead. Its been so boring without you here, my friend." He patted my back as he said this clearly happy I was talking again. I have not spoken to him or Ed in weeks. Ed was also happy to see me talking again.
"I missed you so much Double D." Ed said. "It's not the same with only me and Eddy in the group." It was hard for Ed to control his actions but he is getting there. By now I would normally crushed by the big oaf.
We talked for a while until it was finally our turn to swim. It was Eddy, Marie, Rolf, Ed, three underclassmen and myself turn when it came. At the whistle we all dived and swam as fast as we could but I was a little faster. I guess that is why I got the nickname 'Shark'. I finished first twenty seconds before Marie did. She is getting better and better.
"Aw. I thought I may have beaten you." She said as she got out and sat beside me on the bench. She then saw the time and smiled at me before saying, "I'm catching up better get better Mr. Shark." She teased me all the time about the nickname when she can.
I just smiled and laughed as Eddy and Ed were on the ground gasping for air out of breath because they were trying a lot more this time. "How… can you… do this all… the time Sockhead?" Eddy managed to get out after a moment of deep breathing. "You were… so out of… shape a few years… ago."
"That was then and this is now Eddy. I have been working out a lot more while you been just getting money." He did not disagree with me because it was true. Rolf just walked over after he got out he did not look out of breath at all even though he was last. Rolf did not care for swimming at all.
"The son of the shepherd does not understand why we must go in the water and learn the act of fish. Why not just walk underwater like the son of the shepherd." We just stared at Rolf scared of him a little.
"You held your breath for seven minutes? How!?" Eddy asked amazed. Rolf just shrugged as if it was nothing. "Amazing."
We finished the class after a few more turns of swimming in different styles. As we left the gym Eddy stopped me and asked if Marie and I would like to go to a party this Saturday. "It would great if you could come Double D. You too Marie. It has not been the same really without you here with all of us. So what do you say?" He asked hope gleaming in his eyes as he looked at us.
Marie answered for us. "We will be there. I will drag this one if he tries to not come." She said pointing at me to which I just laughed some. "Hey. You need to get out some more Edd. You hardly go out anymore."
"Fine. I will go to it. Where is it going to be at?" I asked and Eddy gave us all the details of the party. "Alright. See you around Eddy." I said as I walked away Marie trailing behind me. "I'm going home now. Hope you have a good rest of your day Marie." I said turning to look at her as I walked.
She hugged me from behind stopping me in my tracks. "I hope you stay like this. I hate seeing you so hurt." She said her voice cracking a little. She then let go of me then walked off to her class as I watched her for a moment before walking out of the school to my car and got in.
I sighed deeply and started the car and drove off the school grounds. "Thank you everyone for your concern. But it is not needed. I'm already too far gone." I thought as I drove the house. I walked into the home and said softly, "I'm home." Not that anyone is here to hear it. I'm always alone in this house. I walked up to my room then laid down on my bed.
I yawned deeply and said softly, "A nap sounds good right now…" I slowly drifted off into a nightmare free sleep for the first time in years.
I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. Review if you want. I will have the next chapter when I can.
