A.N. Please read and review.

I was feeling chipper this morning as my alarm clock woke me up as it does every day at 5:45, which both gave me a good amount of time to prepare for school, and was an extra bonus of a palindrome to wake up to. After making my check list of things to take with me to school I was out the door walking to school feeling as if I deserved the relaxation of a nice peaceful walk to school.

Soon I walked in and to my locker of the school building. Kevin was standing at his locker waiting for me, I assumed since Nazz was draping his arm around her already. "Yo, Double D mind giving me a quick hand on the assignment today?" He made this a sorta ritual lately he would slip me five dollars and I would happily show him how to get the desired results of whatever assignment he wanted, be it whatever subject he was currently needing aid in.

"Of course Kevin which subject requires attention today?" I asked after pocketing my new found gas money, at the end of the week I would have 25 dollars good for a tank of gas for another week after all.

"Math dude, Algebra just isn't my strong suite." He said handing me his worksheet.

"Ah this one is simple just use the order of operations instead of tackling the whole equation from left to right. I take it the latest sporting practice kept you physically exhausted?" I asked making conversation as he worked the correct answers on his paper against his locker quickly.

"Yeah dude it's killer lately, but I need to be in top gear for the game this Friday." he replied sticking his tongue out in concentration.

"Well I wish you and Nazz luck in the game and cheering squad respectively." I smiled as I gathered my needed supplies for the day ahead.

"Thanks Double D." Nazz replied for the two of them. "And thanks for helping him out with this stuff every morning." she smiled at me.

"His 25 dollars has given me plenty of trips to the library as of late so I'm happy to oblige." I replied as they walked away.

The day dragged on from there however. Well, it dragged on until lunch at least. I walked in getting ready to unload my meal today and decided where to sit. The only logical place was where the Kankers sat every day.

"Well lookie here girls the smart one came to us." Lee stated acknowledging my presence.

"I suppose, but to be fair your table is the only one with an opening for me I'm afraid." I replied giving an excuse as to why I would sit there and subject them to more apathetic behavior. I sat down and unloaded my meal and proceeded to eat a sandwich with a pudding cup and thermos filled with nice hot tea.

"Sure nice try but looking around I see plenty of open seats you could sit at." Lee said.

"I suppose, but I am already sitting and eating so why change seats now." I calmly retorted while I bit off a piece of sandwich.

"Or maybe you came to see your sweet pea." May smiled fluttering her eyes at me. Marie only sat there looking annoyed at the three of us.

With half my sandwich gone already I replied, "Sorry, but as I said I didn't notice any other seats before sitting down and enjoying my meal."

"Well whatever Casanova, but for sitting here I think I will swipe this." Lee stated as she made a motion to grab my pudding.

"Oh, good I hate that flavor. Personally I never much cared for chocolate. Mixing it with vanilla seems to odd can't really enjoy one with the other there." I lied, I love that flavor but sacrifices needed to be made, while sipping my tea.

"Hehehe, well always happy to be of service" Lee chuckled while lightly tossing my pudding cup with one hand until Marie grabbed it and threw it at her face breaking the seal and making quite a mess of Lee.

"Can it Lee your voice is annoying." Marie said with a scowl on her face.

"Now you've done it sis." I swear her anger was so hot the pudding almost boiled off her face as she jumped Marie and started fighting her younger sibling.

"Sister bonding time!" May yelled in as she literally jumped into her siblings scuffle like she was cannon balling into a pool. I simply finished my meal while casually watching the sister trio attack each other both physically and verbally. Gulping down the last of my tea and cleansing my palate of my meal, I gently stood collected my things and walked out the door as calmly as possible. Celebrating my success this far in the library with a small arm raise and self congratulation.

That's how my week went. Each morning I would greet Kevin and Nazz collect some money and help my fellow peer down the scholastic path of success, and lunch would be spent with the Kanker sisters. However since the initial day they barley paid me any attention as the week drove on. Three days later I sunk the nail in by sitting close to the door away from them without even looking at them or paying them any mind. I needed them to know they meant nothing to me negative or positive. By final bell Friday I felt my experiment was a success.

Walking to my car for the weekend I noticed a blond head over the top of my car. "Good afternoon Nazz, this is unexpected." I stated as I walked to my car.

"What do you mean Double D I always wait here for Kevin after school." Nazz replied standing by her boyfriends car to my left.

"Oh sorry Nazz I was confused, pay no mind to me." I laughed nervously. "Then who is by my car?" I wondered internally. My answer came quick as it turned out to be May Kanker leaning against my car. "Ummm, excuse me but please refrain from standing on my automobile." I spoke to alert her to my presence.

"Oh hi Double D." Really only my friends called me that, but whatever I'll let it slide.

"May what are you doing hanging within the vicinity of my car?" I inquired.

"Look Double D your a good guy, but I need to speak with you." her tone got disturbingly serious. "You broke my sisters heart all this week, and if you don't fix it I will show you what being the youngest sibling has taught me about rough housing." She said cracking her knuckles.

"Well, while I admire your sisterly instincts to protect your sisters feelings there is nothing to be fixed." I calmly replied, "I have no feelings for your sister or you or Lee. Personally I find you all to be near terrible people who won't let innocence be" She seemed hurt by those words.

"I guess I shouldn't have expected miracles, but this isn't you Double D you always tried to be nice to everyone." she said her gaze now pleading.

"Initially yes, but you proved to be more a nuisance to me and my friends. You never asked us if we wanted to be your boyfriends you just decided that by yourself. The stress added up and I grew fatigued of dealing with you. Now your just beings of flesh and blood that exist to me." I was annoyed at this obstacle of my departure.

"I understand where all this comes from Double D, but Marie really does like you, and I like big Ed, and we learned from an early age that if you like something make it yours." she clearly tried to excuse this behavior. "We were lonely before moving to the trailer and meeting you three."

"No excuse for forcing yourself on us day after day with no consent or even desire to know who we were as people first. Hard to believe a word tainted with such a selfish past." I turned my head arms crossed.

"Honestly May why even bother talking to him?" Lee came up to collect her sister. "Some gentleman he tried to be. He is just a big narcissist with a superiority complex."

"Oh look who is calling the kettle black on that one." I responded.

She got in my face and said something I wasn't expecting, "Yeah I know I am, its amazing how much we three have in common with you three isn't it Mr. D" Lee was clearly stricken with anger and a protective instinct for her siblings, "What first was bullying I will admit, we all wished for a fresh start with you three, and I see now it's far too late for it, but if I see you even look at Marie talk to her or do anything that might give her false hope I will show you exactly how a jaded sister can be."

"Fine then!" I was upset that they were clearly in the wrong here and we were gathering a crowd.

"See your handiwork dumb ass." she said tossing me a picture. Upon observance I saw a candid shot of Marie bawling her eyes out. I was never expecting this. Suddenly the whole week and good feeling from the experiment came to a halt as I only filled up with remorse. "Those tears are for you bub, and if your not going to fix it like the pacifist you claimed to be, then you were never worth the attention anyways."

"If a fresh start was desired why did you never ask us for forgiveness and tried to handle it amicably?" I was tired of games.

"We never knew how!" screamed May, "No one treated us fair anywhere once we became dominate here we stayed that way. You label everything out of habit why can't you accept our behavior was habit?" May was hollering at me while Lee took her away begging her to shut up.

"What did you do bro?" Kevin came up asking me. "I almost felt sorry for the girls like that."

"I performed an experiment, and the results were what I was hoping for, I just didn't know I would hate it." I said holding the picture in my hand while I watched the spot May had just been yelling at me at. "Maybe I should fix things, creating pain wasn't the intent just make them bored of me was all."

"Do what you feel you have to, no one can really blame you for what you did, but we all know you were different from the three even back then." Kevin said taking Nazz on his bike a pulling out of the lot, leaving me holding a picture and only feeling cold about my week.

A.N. Honestly I know Double D wouldn't like to cause pain, but he did want to be left alone. Be careful what you wish for. Pride comes before the fall and all that. How am I doing so far.
