A/N: Hello again everyone, as requested, here is another favorite ship. Honestly, it was kind of hard to write since I don't really ship DD with anyone else but Kevin. So hopefully you all enjoyed this piece of work.
Double D X Nazz
It finally happened, no one would have been able to expect it. The quarterback of the Peach Cobblers and the head cheerleader who cheered only for him finally broke up. Word got around and the moment word got around, her life changed.
She wiped at her eyes, the words on the page looking more blurry as each second passed. She was upset still, even though it happened a week ago, she couldnt help it. Sniffing, she sat back in her chair. At home, all she really did was cry. Her grades were slipping, she wasn't doing her work. Her parents suggested her going to the councilors but she wouldnt. It was just a break up, the dreadful feelings would go away eventually. The feeling of betrayal would go away. Everything had to go away eventually. Then they told her to go to the library after school to do her work or she couldn't do cheerleading. Not only would she lose the one she loved but also the thing she loved.
So here she was, sitting in this empty school library. She was trying to read her science book but her watering eyes made it nearly impossible. Her hands wiped at her tears just as they were ready to fall. Letting out a frustrated sigh, her head fell onto the desk with a loud thump. She did want to try but she felt no urge to. She just wanted everything to go back to normal, she just wanted to go back to being happy.
"Nazz?" A voice suddenly called out. This voice was slowly approaching, sounding worried. "Are you alright?"
She lifted her head, her brown eyes slowly meeting blue. Blinking, she sat up straight. "Double D? What are you doing here?" She asked confused. She was sure everyone else was gone from this place. She should have expected him to be here.
The nerdiest Ed gave a gapped grin at her, "I'm the librarians aid. She has a lot on her plate so I'm staying a little after to help her out." He explained before the worried tone returned. "Are you alright? Your forehead is red..." He pointed out, his lips falling to a frown.
Nazz managed out soft chuckle, "I'm fine dude, just... trying to figure this stuff out." It wasn't a complete lie she supposed. She rubbed at her arms, "I have to fix a test I failed but I just cant figure out where the answers are." She explained, showing him all the red X's on the paper.
Edd rose a brow as he looked down at the opened book and failed test, he noticed the blonde had been sitting here for awhile. "Would you perhaps like some assistance? Science is my best subject, I may be able to help you out a little." He explained, his fingertips touching together in a nervous manner.
She shrugged her shoulders, she wasn't really in the mood to work on homework. "I guess if you want to..." She rested her head on her propped arm as he quickly sat down next to him. Glancing over at him, she noticed he did look slightly embarrased being this close to her. She looked back down at the paper, she'd better just get this done. The quicker she did, the sooner she would be able to go home and curl up in her blankets.
"Nazz?" Edd looked over at her. "If you want my help, you have to pay attention." He said softly, trying to get her attention.
She nodded and apologized softly. If she was lucky, she could actually learn something from all of this. Sitting up straight, she gave him her full attention. The thought about everything was soon gone, now replaced with the new information about the solar system she just learned.
The second day she had come to the library, she had been feeling just as torn apart as she had the first time coming here. Just like yesterday, Double D had approached her with that gapped smile of his that he had loved to give off. It made her feel better seeing that smile, she needed help with English. The ravenette just sat next to her, reading his own text while she did her own. Whenever she needed any help, he would stop anything he was doing to make sure she got all the help she needed.
When the third day came, Double D had been waiting for her apparently. She didn't go to the library, she just went home. The day had been as hard as ever, even that nerdish Ed wouldn't brighten her day. Of course her parents were angry with her but her thick blankets wrapped around her were enough to block them out.
On the fourth day, Edd came to her and asked her if she was alright since she hadn't came. She cried in front of him when the question came. She promised him that she would be there afterschool.
The fact that there was a person who was worried and could still smile at her was enough to bring tears to her eyes. The male of course freaked out and she had to reassure him that they were happy tears. When she went to the library, Edd was waiting for her again. The way his blue eyes lit up, it brought a smile to her lips. It came easy, her lips remembering the action. When she showed him the C she got on her science test, the way he got excited made her chest tighten. That was the kind of grade she got before all this happened, she didn't know why he had been so proud, but it was better than failing like she had been.
She stood staring into her locker. Her lips were pressed together tight. It was the second week of her being alone, this morning Kevin came to school on his bike with another girl. She stared at a small picture held up by two flower magnets. It was of her and her ex lover. Now she knew there was no chance of them getting back together. Pulling the picture from the magnets, she let out a sad sigh as she ripped it in half.
"Nazz! Are you going to be at practice today?" An excited voice appeared next to her, it was Sarah. The red head beamed up at her, excited for practice apparently.
Nazz jumped slightly, she shoved the picture in her pocket. "I can't Sarah... I have to go to the library to fix some homework." She hated missing practice but if she let her grades slip now, she couldnt go back.
Sarah pouted, "That sucks... the football team is going to be watching us too. You can show that stupid jerk what he's missing out on."
Her chest tightened, "Maybe another day." Smiling, she closed her locker, "I'll see you later."
The younger girl waved as she left for practice.
Nazz stood there for a moment, her eyes closed. Fingers tightening around her bag strap, she opened her eyes. Her brows furrowed, she headed to the library.
Opening the door, fresh cold air hit her all at once. At first, she always felt like she was going to freeze to death. Eventually she got used to it. Looking around, she noticed Edd sitting at a table in the corner. Smile forming on her lips, she immediately felt better. Walking over, she grinned. "What's up dude?"
Edd returned the smile, "I was wondering where you were. What's today's subject?" He asked, looking at her bag.
She groaned, falling back into the chair next to him. "Math. I hate it so much." It was one of her worst subjects, even the smartest guy in the cul-de-sac wouldn't be able to get her to understand this foreign language.
His laughter filled her ears. "Math is so fun once you understand it. Show me what you don't understand."
She pulled out her text book and dropped it in front of him. "Here you go," her smile grew when he continued to laugh. She watched him, her smile hiding behind her hand. "Thanks Double D."
His laughter slowed, "No problem. I love teaching people, I do want to become a college professor." He began talking about the future now.
She let out a slightly relived sigh, that wasn't the reason why she was thanking him. She wanted to thank him for so many different reasons but didn't know how to word it. She wanted to thank him for being there when she needed someone. She wanted to thank him for not asking about Kevin, not even once. The male didn't even judge her.
Kevin put out word that he caught her cheating on someone that didn't even exist. It seemed only two people didn't believe him... Sarah and Double D. She smiled, "Thank you."
