Edd hobbled down the hall of Peach Creek High School. He was slightly perspiring as he headed for his locker. School had been let out hours ago, but he had stayed late, helping his fellow science classmates set up for the science fair.

Science was Eddward's favorite subject, math and English at a close second. He was quite the scholar. He enjoyed learning. He felt that if you didn't learn something every day, it was a day wasted.

Edd reached his uniform-blue locker and entered in the combination. Just as his locker clicked open, a door just down the hall slammed open. The ravenette scowled down the hall, somewhat eager to nag whoever it was for opening the door so roughly. He stopped dead when he saw Kevin and Nazz wandering down the hall towards him.

He turned back to his locker, putting away books he would not need that night and grabbing ones he would need. His hands started shaking as Kevin and Nazz got closer, stopping at Nazz's locker, just three down from Edd's.

Kevin, looking up from the conversation he was having with Nazz, noticing Edd.

"Hey, Double Dork. It's pretty late for even you to be here, isn't it?" Edd looked at the clock behind him, 6:03, pretty late indeed.

"Oh, calm down, Edd! Kev's not gonna cause any trouble!" Edd must have looked nervous. "Hey, you okay, dude?"

"Thank you, Nazz." Edd smiled, "I'm perfectly fine. Yes, Kevin, it is rather late for me to be here, but as I was helping with the science fair, it was quite necessary for me to stay late. I'm more curious as to why you're here so late. Didn't baseball practice end half an hour ago?" Kevin shrugged.

"I was waiting for Nazz to finish her project. I'm taking her home." Edd could tell he was lying.

"I see." Edd turned back to his locker, removing one last notebook and placing it in his messenger bag. He closed his locker and adjusted the bag before turning to the couple.

"It's been nice talking, but I must be off. I have plenty of homework to attend to before the weekend. Have a pleasant night, both of you." Edd turned to walk away, but Kevin's voice stopped him.

"Hey, Dweeb. Want a ride? We're all going to the same place anyway." Shocked at the offer, Double D turned to look at Kevin, blushing.

"Thank you very much, Kevin. That's very thoughtful of you."

"Yeah, yeah." Kevin smirked and walked over to Edd, taking his bag. "C'mon dork."

Edd waked aways back with Nazz, speaking softly about the upcoming science fair. He was shocked at Kevin's generosity, but didn't want to upset him by saying something.

Back in the cul-de-sac, Edd thanked Kevin again for the ride, getting out of the red sports car. Kevin smirked and nodded.

"No problem, Dweeb." Edd turned to go inside, smiling slightly. "Hey, Edd." The small teen turned, confused at the red-head using his birth name.

"Yes, Kevin?"

"Here, take this. Nazz really thinks we should get together sometime." The blonde giggled as Kevin handed Edd a slightly crumpled piece of notebook paper.

"Oh. Well then..." Edd took the paper, blushing and confused.

Kevin revved his engine, smirked and drove off, parking in Nazz's driveway.

Edd turned, note in hand, and went into his home. He closed to door behind him and took off his shoes and bag at the entryway. He walked into the kitchen and washed his hands before opening the fridge to receive some juice.

Pouring himself a glass, Edd sighed. He was so confused. He'd known Kevin for years and never -NEVER- had the jock been this nice to him.

Sitting at the table, Edd turned his attention to the note Kevin had given him.

"Edd, Nazz likes the idea of 'us' and I don't particularly hate the idea, so I guess we should go out. Tomorrow. You and me. Movie- I'm paying. No isn't an option here. Pick you up at 8."

Edd smiled and blushed. He wasn't sure of his sexual orientation, but going out with Kevin seemed like a good idea. What could go wrong?
