A/N: All done in Edd's perspective. The pairing some of you were curious to see Edd/Daniel. Enjoy!

High school has changed a lot in all of us. Sometimes it makes me glad other times it makes me sad. I kind of miss the old days of pulling scams although I don't miss the getting beat up because it ended up failing. And trust me it usually ended up failing and all the kids in the Cul-De-Sac would pound us. I guess the whole thing with his brother really shook Eddy's world. After that we were no longer outsiders and Eddy stopped with the scams and the pranks. Although he still loves money, being adored and jawbreakers even though jawbreakers are now smaller and more expensive.

That why he joined the football team with Kevin. It was something that made his dad proud, something he had the physical strength for, something that made him the center of attention and one day would make him lots of money. All of this was enough for him to be on the same team as Kevin even after the whole football fiasco in Junior High.

Actually since Eddy has joined the football team Kevin and he have become really good friends. I guess once they got passed their mutual hate for each other they could see that they are a lot more alike than they thought. They even became really good friends with another football player, Daniel. The three of them seem to be stuck at the hip with one another since freshman year.

Just like Eddy, Ed and I use to be. Not to say we don't hang out at all just not as much. I hang out with them the least but I guess out of all of us I have pulled farthest away. I mean Eddy is the Wide Receiver for the football team and Ed became one of the male cheerleaders. Yep, you heard right and now his no longer ashamed because of it. Apparently, Nazz need a last minute male cheerleader and asked for Ed's help and his been on the team ever since. So they see each other almost every day at practice because the cheer-leading squad usually practices outside during football season. Plus, Ed goes or more like has to go to every football game.

While their busy with their extra-curricular activities I have been busy with school. All of my classes are advance placement and I have been taking a few college classes through dual enrollment. I am also part of the Engineering club and the Biology club. In other words I have become even more of a nerd than before if that's even possible.

"Touchdown!"

The sound of the announcer made me looked down at the football field to realize that we had score a touchdown while I was reminiscing. Everyone shot up from their seats and cheered and I did the same. I saw Eddy running up to Nazz for a congratulatory hug but got intercepted by Kevin and then tackled by an overly excited Ed.

Then when I looked over at the field I saw Daniel who was looking in my general direction. He smile and seemed to be giving me a thumbs up. But I think I might have been mistaken so I looked around and saw a number of girls doing the same gestures. So I guess it wasn't meant for me.

Daniel was a really cool kind of guy. He was really popular but not as popular as Kevin. He was nice and polite. He even stopped a couple of guys from bullying me in the past. I could never picture him as the type to play such an aggressive sport but then again I didn't know him that well. We never really hanged out and when we did see each other it was when he was with Kevin and Eddy. Even so I couldn't help admiring him. I don't know why. Perhaps because he saved me so many times before and he had become my knight in shining armor or that he always seem to be keen on what I said no matter how boring.

The football game was over and I walked over to the crowd of girls and guys that were waiting for the football team and cheerleaders to come out of the locker fifteen minutes later the football team came out and everyone was cheering excitedly. Kevin and Eddy were loving the attention and were surrounded by fan girls. Daniel was also surrounded by fan girls but he gentle shuffled his way towards me.

"Congratulations." I shouted over the cheering of the fan girls as Daniel stopped in front of me.

"Thanks, didn't think you were coming." Daniel stated.

"Just came to support you guys on your first game as varsity players."

"That's nice of you. I would love it if you would come to more than just this game in the future but I guess that is unlikely. I know that you dislike harmful forms of physical activity and football is one of the most harmful." Smiled Daniel.

'Wait did I hear him correctly. He wants me to come to more of the football games. Why? Wait did he say I or We would love it... Perhaps he is just doing this for Eddy and Ed's sakes. Oh, whatever I am always on top of my school work I can afford to come to the football games even though they are over saturated with violence.' But before I could say that, Kevin and Eddy came towards us with Ed and Nazz who just came out of their respective locker rooms. They ushered us to the cars parked near the field.

There was apparently going to be a party at one of the football player's house. We all divided into the cars as followed: Kevin went on his motorcycle with one of the cheerleaders (not Nazz she didn't want to mess up her hair), Daniel's car had Nazz and another cheerleader in the front seat and five cheerleaders in the back seat (which is completely unsafe) and Ed's pick up truck had Ed, Eddy and me in the front and some of the football guys and male cheerleaders in the back (even more unsafe).

Eddy complained all the way about how unfair it was that Daniel got to take only girls in his car while he was stuck in a car with guys. I laughed remembering that Daniel didn't really have much of a choice except for the girl that didn't mind helmet hair all the other ones didn't want to arrive at the party with mess up hair and just shoved themselves into his car.

Before we knew it we were already at the party joking and chatting. Okay I lie everyone else was joking and chatting away. I was never really good at the party scene I only agreed because Ed was my ride and he wanted to be here. Plus I didn't want to seem like a party pooper and just go straight home. However there is a third reason why I wanted to come. I would like to say it is because I want to spend more time with Ed and Eddy but the reality is I just want to hang out with Daniel.

I never meet someone like him. There is no reason for him to talk to me without Eddy or Kevin but he always does even though it always gets cut short and tonight is no exception. I was sitting down uncomfortably on a couch away from the eardrum popping speakers when Daniel came over and sat down next to me. We started chatting but it wasn't long before he was surrounded by girls all wanting his undivided attention. They clearly didn't want me there boring them to death with my lame jokes.

" A proton, neutron, and electron went out to dinner one night. After a luxurious meal, the waiter brought the check to the proton and the electron. The neutron was perplexed as to why the waiter didn't bring him his check. So, he summoned the waiter to the table and asked him about it. The waiter explained to the neutron, For you, there's no charge!"

Daniel laughed lightly at my joke but the girls didn't even try to pretend that it was funny. "Don't you get it? Neutrons are the only part of the atom that does not have-" I started to explain before the curvy blonde girl practically hanging on Daniel interrupted and said. "Hahaha, please stop. I don't think we can handle another one of your jokes. Could you be a doll and bring me a drink? All your jokes have made me thirsty."

"Um, okay."

I got up and headed for the kitchen for some drink and thought maybe Daniel was thirsty too. I gathered up two cokes and returned to the couch that now had two additional girls that took my spot. I handed the blonde girl her drink and offered one to Daniel. The blonde girl then spoke."Thanks doll I was super thirsty but didn't you bring anymore the other girls are thirsty too."

I look around at the other girls that started to make puppy dog faces. I sighed. "Okay I will go get some more."

"Wait,"Daniel said trying to stand up, "let me help you." But before he could get all the way up the blonde girl and the others pulled him back down. "Oh, Dan. Doll face is more than able to go get us some drinks after all those jokes." The blonde girl giggled.

I became slightly annoyed but agree with her and started getting drinks for the girls. Not before long, I was running back and forth from the kitchen. I wasn't having any fun, they all had their hands all over Daniel, who I couldn't even say a syllable to before getting cut off by one of the girls that surrounded him and I was practically bossed around by them. I didn't even bother going back after the seventh trip and told Ed and Eddy I was leaving. Ed said he would take me home but his car had been block and I didn't want to make a big show of me leaving by having a bunch of cars moved.

I was out the house and about to hit the sidewalk when someone grabbed my arm and I jerked my head around to see who it was. "Are you leaving without even saying good-bye?" Daniel asked letting go of my arm.

"Sorry...um I was just going to go home and I..."

"You don't have to say anything else. I get it. Let me take you home."

"But your car is blocked."

He turned to his car and realizing I was right turned back to me and asked me to wait a second. I waited for about five minutes and he came back outside with a helmet and keys in hand. He handed me the helmet than ran to get Kevin's bike and brought it over. I stood in horror staring at Daniel.

"How I'm I going to take you home if you don't put the helmet on?" Daniel inquired.

"But bike are extremely dangerous especially at night. In the United States alone there are over 4,500 deaths a year and the riders don't usually survive."

'What am I doing? As if he wants to hear me drone on about the dangerous of motorcycles.'

"Do you trust me?" wondered Daniel.

"What? Of course I do. I mean...I don't have any reason not to."

"Then put on the helmet and climb on the bike. I won't let anything bad happen to you."

I nodded and started to put on the helmet then followed to climb awkwardly on the bike.

"Okay, now all you have to do is hold on to me by my waist so that you don't fall."

I hesitated for a moment thinking: Wait, I could fall? Getting on this metal death trap was a bad idea. I don't want to get hurt. But...but Daniel said he wouldn't let anything bad happen so... And with that last thought I grabbed on to Daniel tightly. He chucked and said. "You don't have to hold on so tight we haven't even moved yet."

I quickly loosen my grip and Daniel turned the key and brought Kevin's menace to life. He drove pretty slowly I think I couldn't tell I had my eyes shut tight. But he would constantly reassure me that everything was fine and that he was driving under the speed limit. Suddenly we stopped and after a few moments Daniel finally said we arrived at my house. Reluctantly I let him go. I tired to get off the bike but almost fell if it wasn't for Daniel. I took the helmet off.

"Thanks for bring me home, Daniel. You really didn't need to." I told him

"I wanted to." He replied.

Suddenly it dawned on me that we just took Kevin's bike to get here. "Wait a minute, how did you get Kevin to give you his motorcycle? He loves this thing almost as much as his old bike if not more. He never lets anyone drive it."

"I said I would own him one if he let me take you home."

"If that was the case than I should owe him one not you."

"Its fine. I wanted to make sure you got home safe and maybe finally get to talk to you."

I smiled and invited him in; we talked for a few more minutes before his phone went off and it turned out to be Kevin demanding for his baby. Daniel said he was on his way back and hanged up. Again we got interrupted and this made me so upset it accidentally spilled onto my face.

"This is the third time we get interrupted and its is getting pretty annoying." He affirmed.

Surprised that he felt the same way all I could do is nod. Then he continued. "Are you free tomorrow," he check his phone then corrected himself, "I mean today at around 5pm?"

Just has he finished I blurted out. "YES! I mean I am."

He smiled. "Okay than I will pick you up 5pm. Bye."

"Bye."

I saw him get on the bike then ride off and as soon as he was out of sight I felt my cheeks become red. In a few hours I was going to get Daniel all to myself and the idea filled me with excitement. This was going to be the first time I have ever hanged out with just him. I can just imagine it. For once we could have a proper conversation...oh dear but what if I blow it like I did today. Daniel wasn't going to say anything but those girls were right my joke were terrible and my conversation usually have people running from to the hills. Daniel is always polite and just listens to me drone on and on but now there would be no one to save him. Is this really a good idea?

A/N: I don't know. Is this really a good idea? You tell me folks. What did you think of my first chapter with Daniel/Edd?
