Chapter 1: Repeat
A/N: It's been a long time since I wrote any kind of fanfiction, decided to write an Ed,Edd'n Eddy one considering it's one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Hope you enjoy!
"What a glorious day it is, my comrades" Double D says with great enthusiasm as he walks with his two chums with the same name, Eddy looks to his side at Double D.
"What's so great about it? It's just another school day" Eddy complains, Double D shakes his head. Ed stares up at the sky pointing at the birds flying above the three of them.
"We get a conclusion to our report cards before the incredibly important examination season!" Double D says with great delight, Eddy shakes his head with displeasure. "Eddy aren't you excited about the predicted grades for the exams, the head of year will supply us with-" Before Double D could finish, Eddy has put his hand over Double D's mouth.
"Double D, shut up with all the exams mumbo jumbo" Eddy complains yet again, Eddy takes his hand off Double D's mouth.
"Now...now chums, I'm sure the exams will be as easy as 1...2...er..." Ed struggles, Eddy throws his bag at Ed to carry. Eddy takes a few quick steps ahead of the two of them.
"Slow down lumpy, or else your head will hurt" Eddy says, Ed looks at Eddy's backpack and puts it back to front on his body. Double D has a short sigh to himself, Double D takes a few quick steps forward until his standing with his short friend.
"Eddy, it's important to take into consideration the advice the head of year is going to give to us. It can create leaps and bounds to where we'll be in the foreseeable future" Double D says, Eddy puts his hands over his ears.
"Sockhead, it's a Monday I can't put up with this" Eddy interjects, Ed noticing he's a few steps behind his friends he takes a few steps forward until he's standing behind the two of them.
"Ed boys!" Rolf runs ahead of the Ed boys, before stopping. The three stop standing behind Rolf, Rolf turns around to them hunched over. "What is this that I have heard about the day of judgement?!" Rolf demands an answer. Eddy looks up at Ed, Ed simply shrugs with a cheeky smile. Eddy looks at Double D, who rolls his eyes knowing he has to be the one to answer.
"Well Rolf, today the head of year will be speaking to us about our progress, future and examination process" Double D explains, Eddy lets out a loud yawn. Suddenly, Rolf grabs Double D by his shoulders lifting up off the ground.
"Why must the man with no hair judge, the son of a shepherd?" Rolf again demands an answer, Double D looking confused at Rolfs questionable expression.
"erm...it's his role as acting supervisor of our education facility" Double D answers, Rolf lowers Double D back to the ground, with a sudden burst of speed Rolf runs towards the school gates.
"No man with no hair, shall judge Rolf!" Rolf barges past a number of students as he arrives at the school gate. Double remains standing there almost speechless.
"That was...weird..." Double D mutters, Eddy shrugs as him and Ed walks pass Double D.
"He's been weird since the first day I met him" Eddy says, Double D stands there looking over the horizon at the school.
"Oh Double D, are you coming?" Ed says, Double D looks back at his patient friend waiting for him. The three walk through the school's main gate.
"...so...why do we have to go to school today?" May asks as she walks along side her two siblings. Lee looks back at May with an annoying look.
"We have to, I told you a minute ago. The principle told Ma' we miss today and we're expelled for the year" Lee explains, Marie rolls her eyes at her sisters comments.
"What's so important about today?" Marie asks, Lee has a disappointing groan.
"Final report cards, It's about the future or something" Lee says, May looks down at the ground and back up to Lee.
"At least we'll get time to spend with the Ed's...I miss my big lug, it's like I haven't seen him in forever!" May says as embraces herself with a hug, suddenly she trips falling to the ground.
"Watch where you're going idiot" Lee comments, Marie giggles at Lee's comment. May quickly gets back to her feet and catches up to her sisters.
"My man has been missing me, I can feel it" Lee says as gives a deep giggle after it.
"I'll see dream boat..." Marie day dreams, the three Kankers burst into a heckling laugh together.
"Ed...get out of my seat!" Eddy complains as he pushes Ed off his seat, Ed with a heavy thud lands to the floor.
"I want to sit with you Eddy" Ed says as he gives Eddy the sad puppy eye treatment, Double D takes occasional glances towards his friends, as he sets his desk up for the day.
"For the last time Ed, NO!" Eddy gives his final verdict, Ed stands back to his feet with his head lowered and sits in the seat in front of Eddy. "Good boy Ed" Eddy says almost as if he's treating his friend like a dog.
"Dorks, keep it down!" Kevin can be heard shouting from across the room, Eddy looks across at Kevin.
"Whatever oh mighty shovel chin!" Eddy insults, Kevin's anger can be seen from across the room. Ed grins at Eddy's comment.
"I'll get you for that...just wait until after class" Kevin vows to get his vengeance on Eddy.
"Yeah when you get a report card that reads fail in everything! Haha" Eddy laughs at his own joke. Double D keeps his head down to try and keep himself out of the situation. Kevin clenches his fist as he stands up out of his seat, suddenly the door swings wide open. It's the Head of Year, Rolf was right his head is bold and shiny as the sun. Kevin quickly sits back down in his seat, Eddy sticks his tongue out at Kevin.
"As you may know, today is the final report card where I'll talk to you about your grades and future, I'll one by one read your names out. We'll leave the room and head to my office-" The head of year is cut off by the door swinging open, it's the mischievous three the Kanker Sisters, who come in and take their seats like nothing happened. The head of year looks at the three of them and shakes his head. "First we'll had Edward" Double D stands out of his seat and follows the head of the year out of the room.
Double D can hear his heart beating heavily as the two stand outside of his office, the head of year opens the door welcoming Double D into the room. Double D takes his seat opposite the head of year "Mr. Edward, you've been making incredible progress across all of your study areas. How do you feel about that?"
"Why I feel, delighted with those comments" Double D says nervously, the head of year nods his head as he looks down Double D's report.
"The only issue is Gym class, you're barely passing it" the head of year says, Double D takes a big gulp.
"I understand sir, I'll do my best to exceed in Gym class" Double D says, the head of year takes a clipboard off the stack of papers he has and shows it to Double D.
"Would you be willing to sign up to the buddy tutor program, this is where struggling students can study with students that are excelling in their studies so they can help and assist them with their studies" the head of year attempts to sell the idea to Double D. Double D scratches the back of his neck.
"Sir that would be a good thing to do but it may distract me from my own studies" Double D says, the head of year rubs the bottom of his chin.
"Doing this will count as an extra-curricular activity, meaning it won't matter about your gym class grade" the head of year says, with a sudden bolt of lighting Double D had already written his name on the sign up sheet. "Er...good job Edward, I'll let you know who your study buddy will be later" the head of year stands out of his seat along with Double D as the two exit the office.
The day continues, one by one each student is called up to enter his office. Double D sits back in his seat to feel the constant stares from Marie, Double D does his best to not acknowledge her charms. Marie begins to blow kisses towards Double D. Eddy begins to chuckle at Double D's misfortune, Eddy snaps out of it and asks a question he'll probably regret "So how did you do sockhead?" Eddy asks.
"I'm progressing well in all my study areas, the head of year has the up most confidence in my completing my exams and gaining the grades I need" Double D answers, Eddy raises an eyebrow.
"Even gym class?" Eddy asks, Double D gets a sneaky grin on his face.
"The head of year told me not to be concerned with that area, as I'll be taking my proud part in an extra-curricular activity" Double D answers, just like that Eddys head is laying on his desk asleep. Double D slowly shakes his head in displeasure and continues to read his science book.
Ed enters back in the room with a confused look on his face, as he sits down in his seat Double D leans over asking how Ed did. Ed looks back at Double D "I'm passing by"
Eddy sits back up in his seat in surprise "What?! How?! Ed passing?" Eddy yells his concern loudly, all the kids look at the centre where the Ed's are. Eddy lays his head back on the desk "If Ed passed, I'll easily be in the clear" Eddy thinks to himself.
The day rolls on, students are called out and return back to their seats. May and Lee have already been called out, the two are passing but only barely. Marie sits there shrugging at her sisters "At least we'll be passing, better than how our Ma' did" Lee says.
"I still need to get my report, I'm sure I'm doing better than both of you" Marie says with confidence, the two Kanker sisters look at Marie with concern.
Eddy throws himself back onto his seat in displeasure, Double D glances over at Eddy, who is slamming his head on the desk. "I need to be quiet in class? I'm always quiet! I barely even speak" Eddy says with discomfort.
"So...what did he say?" Double D asks, Eddy looks up at his sock wearing friend.
"I'm actually passing, barely but I'm passing" Eddy says, Double D gives Eddy a smile "But he told me to be quiet in lessons, that I'm too loud?! How am I loud?!" Eddy says. Double D opens his mouth ready to be honest with his friend. The door swings open, the head of year peeks his head into the room.
"Marie Kanker" He calls out, Marie Kanker stands out of her seat and follows the head of year out of the room. The two arrive at his office, where Marie sits on the seat with her legs crossed.
"Spare me the details, just say I've passed and we're all done here" Marie says with insultingly high confidence, the head of year looks up at Marie.
"Lower that tone Mrs Kanker" The head of year says, Marie simply rolls her eyes. "I'm sorry to say this, but you're failing in all your major subjects except from Art" He delivers the bad news.
"So I'm passing?" Marie asks, the head of year shakes his head. "How am I failing?! Me dumber than May, now that's scary" Marie thinks to herself.
"I'm sorry Marie, If you don't get these grades up you'll have to repeat this year" the head of year delivers another bombshell.
"B...but I..." Marie is speechless for the first time, the head master takes the clipboard off his table and places it in front of Marie who is squinting at it intensely.
"We have a study buddy program where students that are struggling is able to choose a student who is excelling in their studies, we believe it'll be easier if you have someone your own age assisting you in these subjects" the head of year explains. Marie throws the list back at the head of year.
"I don't need any help!" Marie says, the head of year shakes his head begging to differ.
"I'm sorry Marie but in your situation I think it's best to find someone to study with on this list" The head of year says as he slides the clipboard back over to Marie "It'll be very beneficial for your future"
"Future? Who needs future when your in the present? I'll have a look at the list and say I don't like any of them, that'll work" Marie thinks to herself as she glances down the list "No...no...don't like him...how is he passing...how-" She stops when she reads Double D's name, her heart beats a slight bit faster after she gets a crazy idea "Wait...he said "You'll study with the student excelling" meaning I'll spend more time with Double D, whether he wants to or not...I'm another step forward to getting him as my boyfriend" "I'll take dream boa- I mean, Edward..." Marie says as she places her finger on his name.
"My...my, Edward. That's a good choice, may I ask why you chose Edward?" the head of year asks, Marie stands out of her seat.
"It's personal" Marie giggles, Marie stands next to the door ready to open it.
"Shall I tell Edward or you?" The head of year asks, Marie looks over her shoulder at the bold head of year.
"I'll tell him" Marie says as she gives a kiddish wink as she slams the door and skips down the hall with a smile on her face.
Marie enters the classroom with a joyous smile on her face, Lee and May notice her sick smile. "She's smiling, does that mean she's passing?" May asks, Lee strikes May at the top of her head.
"Of course she is, she wouldn't be smiling if she didn't" Lee answers, May holds the top of her head.
Marie walks down the aisle towards Double D's desk, Double D looks up to see Marie walking towards him with a smile on her face. He feels his knees trembling, Marie sits on Double D's desk and his book, causing a lot of equipment to fall off his desk. Double D is looking up at Marie with concern and worry "W...what's she doing?" Double D wonders. Eddy is speechless looking at what is happening, whilst the Kankers are giggling away.
Marie lowers her head towards Double D, until their faces are inches away from each other. Double D attempts to back his head up away from Marie but Marie places her hands on top of Double D's head stopping him. Marie gives a small grin at Double D "My study buddy..." Marie whispers to Double D, Double D's eyes are wide as they can be.
"M...Marie is my...Study...Buddy..."
The door swings open again "Rolf" the head of year calls out, Rolf stands to his feet with quick intent.
"YOU SHALL NOT JUDGE ROLF!" He screams across the class room.
"Come on Rolf" The head of year says unimpressed.
"Yes sir..." Rolf cowers away as he follows the head of year out of the classroom.
