Eddward was in a dilemma. When he got to school the next morning, he found another letter on top of his desk.
'Well I guess it narrows it down.' It would be impossible for the person who left the note to come inside the classroom, leave the note (and be undetected by other students) and be on time for their own class. So the person must be in the class with him.
Sarah, Rolf and Kevin were the only individuals in this class that are in his cul-de-sac. And all those options sound completely unlikely.
He groaned internally. This entire situation is excruciating, to say the least. Why couldn't this person just confess their feelings in person instead of giving these nameless letters? Oh well, at least it was a bit romantic. But boy was it frustrating.
Unbeknowingly to the sock-wearing boy, a certain redhead was glaring holes at the back of the genius' head.
'Is he more oblivious than i thought?'
Kevin didn't know how it happened.
When they were kids, any variation of the name Ed made his stomach turn in hatred. Though, that hatred was mostly towards the shortest of the trio. Eddy ticked him off to no end.
The tallest, though annoying at times, didn't really bother him too much. He probably has no idea what he's even doing 70% of the time.
Then there was Double D. He was…. different. He never really irked him like the other Eds did. In fact, he might have even admired him a little bit. Just a little bit though.
Then in freshman year of highschool, they were assigned to do a project together in science. They met in the library after school. At first, Kevin was going to just cop out and make the dork do the whole project himself, but after seeing him talk so excited about the subject, he couldn't look away. His eyes would light up and a soft glow of pink would flood his cheeks. The corners of his mouth would turn up a little as he would blabber on about the wonders of biology.
Everytime they would meet, Kevin couldn't help but stare at Edd whenever he spoke about whatever they were working on that day.
That was just the start of it.
He started to notice little things he did. Like sticking his tongue through his tooth gap when he concentrates, or tucking his hair behind his ear when he's flustered, or when his voice goes an octave higher when he's excited about something. The list was endless.
Kevin even started staring (in a non-creepy way, of course… heh.) at the hat-clad boy when they had class together. And he never noticed, of course, he was always 100% focused on what the teacher was saying, so he's never turned his head in his direction once.
It's not like he's complaining. He didn't feel like explaining why he was staring because he really didn't know himself.
Suddenly he was all Kevin would think about. And that scared him.
Was he gay? No, of course not. He still liked chicks. But the thought of holding edd close, looking into his pretty blue eyes and kissing his pink lips-
'Wait! I'm not gay, remember? Girls are hot. With their... boobs and stuff. And their soft skin. And their black hair that sticks out from under a beanie… and their creamy thighs that peeked out from small gym shorts-
Wait! Not gay, remember? Christ…'
Kevin sighed. He can't be gay. He's the most popular guy at school, captain of the football team, and has only dated chicks. His reputation would be ruined.
The best solution is obvious. Repress your feelings deep inside you, of course
Though that didn't last too long.
"Why can't I stop thinking about you?!"
It was sloppy, as if written the person who wrote it was angry, though Edd had no idea the reason. He looked around one last time before slipping the note in his back pocket.
He felt a dark aura coming from behind him and turned around. Kevin was looking at him.
"Good morning, Kevin! Isn't it a beautiful day today?" He motioned towards the window. He wasn't just trying to make small talk, it really was a gorgeous sight. At least it was to Edd.
Kevin glanced outside. "I guess."
Eddward smiled graciously before turning back to his desk, forgetting about the note as the teacher started class.
