During Math class
When they got to the class, the three boys sat in their seats, leaving Alyssa not knowing where to sit at all. There were a few vacant seats, she was about to go and sit next to Johnny when she heard a loud 'ahem'. Turning her head, Double D was patting the seat next to him. Sitting, she noticed something familiar poke out of his bag. "Hey, Double D?" She asked.
"Yes?"
"Is that my sketchbook?" She pointed to his bag.
"Oh, um yes. You left it here. Would you like it back?" He was about to take it out when she put a hand over his to stop him.
"No, you can keep it. I was just wondering." Their positions didn't move for a while until the teacher came in. Alyssa was partially relieved until she saw the teacher. Double D looked horrified as well. A big wave of garlic and onion smell came into the room, gagging most of the students.
She looked like the child of a sumo wrestler. Messy gray hair tied in a bun, XXXXL button up shirt, and black XXXL pencil skirt. The ground shook with every step she took, in her hands were greasy fries and onion rings. "Class! Turn to page 4 and do all the problems til you hit page 10!" She had spittle dripping from her mouth with every word she spoke. It was really disgusting.
"Who's that?" Alyssa asked, turning the pages of her textbook.
"I don't have the slightest idea..." He said. They started to do the problems on the pages. Alyssa's eyes widened at the massive amount of problems on each page. At least fifty per page! At least they were easy division and multiplication. Double D finished before she did, so then he took out the book she had lended him and started to read. Alyssa took a small break to massage her throbbing hand after she finished page 8.
Looking at Edd, you could see he was deeply engrossed in the pages, taking in every detail of the story and pictures. She laughed a bit at his surprised face once he got to the part about Edward's lost leg and arm. Then she saw him touch his right arm and left leg, feeling sorry for the character. She returned to her math assignment, just finishing once the lunch bell rang.
"Tommorrow we do pages ten through fifteen!" The teacher said, then took a nap in her chair. It groaned underneath the massive weight. All of the students who passed her wrinkled their noses. All of the kids ran out of the classroom screaming "FRESH AIR!", except for Ed, who just stole the teacher's onion rings. He snacked on them the entire way to the lunchroom.
All the Eds sat down in their normal spot, Alyssa was about to join them when she felt Kevin tugging on her sweatshirt sleeve. "Why don't you sit with us? I can promise you that we are much better people to talk to than those dorks." She just rolled her eyes and sat down next to Eddy.
"What did Kevin want this time?" Double D asked, pulling out a small baggie of bite size celery sticks from his lunch.
"He wanted me to sit with them is all." She said. Ed opened his lunch to reveal a grotesque looking pizza.
"I'd been saving it for three weeks in my bed!" He said, then began to eat it. All three of them looked away and began to taste some barf coming out of their mouths.
"What do you have Eddy?" Alyssa asked, still a bit green after seeing Ed eat.
"Mom got lazy, so I just packed a cookie and some soda." He said and started to eat the cookie.
"Hm. I've got some leftover beef and rice from last night." She said, then took out a pair of chopsticks and proceded to eat. Double D looked at her food curiously. It looked delicous. "You want to try some?" She held a piece of beef in her chopsticks.
"Um, no it's okay. It's unsanitary to share eating utensil-" she popped the food right into his open mouth. He chewed the food and swallowed before saying something. "That was... very good. How does your mother make it?" He asked.
"No. She's rarely at home so I have to make my own food." Alyssa stated. Especially since the only adults I've ever seen here are the two teachers and that scary looking lunch lady. How come I've never seen any adults faces during the show? She wondered.
"Oh. Well, your cooking is marvelous." He said. Then his head was jerked back and slammed onto his only nibbled on turkey sandwich. Behind him was the Kankers.
"What the hell are you doing here again bitch? Do you want us to beat you up again? And why are you sitting with our boyfriends?" They asked all at once. Alyssa just ignored them and proceded to eat her food. They slammed Double D's head again and this time, Ed's head onto the table.
"Geez, do you have to make such a violent entrance? I'm here because I am. And if memory serves me right, I beat the shit out of you three. FYI, these guys aren't your boyfriends, and they never will be." Alyssa said, irritated. She continued to munch on her beef. Marie grabbed her little box of food and chopsticks.
"Did you just feed my Edd your shitty cooking?" She glared at Alyssa with her one eye uncovered.
"So? He was wondering what it tasted like and I let him try it." She said. This got Marie really mad and she punched Alyssa straight in the face. She landed on the table, a large bruise on her face. Lee sneered at Alyssa's form and began to smother Eddy in gross kisses. Ed hugged the volume of death note for dear life, not wanting anyone to touch it. May grabbed it and flipped through the pages.
"What kind of crap is this? You should know better than to read Ed!" She said, then ripped some pages out. Alyssa's ears perked up at the sound. How dare she... She grabbed a handful of food and took the book out of May's hand and into her bag.
She threw the handful of food at Marie, who was closing in for a kiss. "FOOD FIGHT!" Alyssa screamed. Pretty soon, the entire cafeteria was in total disaster, food flying everywhere. Ed dragged all three of his friends out of the room and into the boys bathroom. He locked the door right after. "Ed! This is the boys bathroom!" She said, darting for the door. Ed grabbed her by the collar of her shirt.
"No! The icky Kankers are out there!" He said. Eddy and Double D agreed, they'd rather die than go out there. Then the bell rang for next class.
"Great... now we're late." She said, then sat down on the stone tiled floor. Double D sat next to her.
"Why... why don't you tell me how you got here now? Ed and Eddy are kind of curious and..." She looked at him blankly.
"You told them what happened that night didn't you?" He nodded. She sighed.
"Well... I guess it's alright then. As long as they don't tell anyone else." She looked at Eddy and Ed. "You swear you won't tell anyone?" Ed nodded, but Eddy just looked to the side for a bit until Double D nudged him a bit with his elbow.
"Fine... I won't tell anyone..." He grumbled. Alyssa laughed a bit at his behavior. His cheeks colored a bit.
"Okay then... where do I start? Alright then um... after I was sucked into that swirling vortex, I woke up at home on the couch. Jacob and Mariel were there as well. Nonne of us seemed to remember a thing after. But for some odd reason, whenever I looked at a bookshelf or hat, my chest would hurt really badly." She started. Ed seemed like he was paying attention, and Double D's cheeks flushed a bit.
"For a while, this continued until I found something under my shirt. Bloody, worn out bandages. Underneath was the damage I had taken from the Kankers. Then, all my memories had come crashing back like a tidal wave. I spent weeks trying to find a way back. My siblings... they never remembered a thing. And a few days ago, I heard something calling out to me, like a voice. It started questioning my determination to come back, why I wanted to see you all. Finally, it told me that my determination is recognized and I will be allowed to come here, if I leave everything else behind. I packed all my things and left a note for my family, telling them I couldn't take the cruelness. The vortex, the very same thing that had taken me away, came back. My sister was the last thing I saw before I left. She was calling me up for dinner. Mariel was so sad when I left, saying she didn't want me to go and she didn't want to be left alone. I told her that I had to and that staying will just make things difficult. We were both crying when I left."
Alyssa finished, tears starting to glisten from the memory. Ed wrapped his arms around the girl, letting her sniffle a bit before she pulled away. "So... you gave up your entire home for us?" Double D asked. Alyssa nodded. "How could you be... SO STUPID?" He asked, surprising everyone by his tone.
"I never liked my home. Mariel and Jacob were always treated better than me." she fought back.
"What about your mom and dad huh? Do you know how worried they'll be?"
"Hmph, yea right. My parents are divorced Edd. My mom isn't exactly you're definition of 'motherly', and my step-dad is a prick."
"And you're real dad?"
"... I'd rather not say." Double D left it at that. Why do I always do that? Yelling at her even when I don't mean to... God I feel like an IDIOT! He hit the tiled walls with his fist.
"AGH!" He clutched his pained hand. Eddy and Ed laughed at his expense. Alyssa just remained silent. Then, a loud pounding came from the door.
"HEY! OPEN UP! I'VE GOTTA TAKE A LEAK!" Said the all too familiar voice.
"Eep." Alyssa squeaked out in fear.
"Kevin. the hall monitor." Eddy said.
