Here's chapter 4! Sorry this chapter took so long! I've been pretty busy with school and personal matters! X( Hopefully things will go back to normal and I can post chapters more regularly.
Enjoy! ️
Kevin was running late, he had accidentally slept through his alarm and now he was riding on his motorcycle to school as fast as the law would allow. He finally rode up to the school's parking lot and parked his motorcycle in one of the empty lots. Kevin then took off his helmet and hopped off his motorcycle just as the school bell rang for students to head to class. Just barely made it on time! He sighed with relief and swung his backpack over his back as he started to jog towards the school entrance across the parking lot.
Jake and his friends were leaning against the school outside near the entrance, like they usually did. They liked to shoot challenging glares and occasionally make fun of the students who walked in. They especially liked to glare at Kevin and his friends, but they never dared to try and make fun of or bully them, but apparently today was different.
"Hey Barr! Better get to class or you'll get in big twouble! Were you late cuz you were too busy making out with one of your fag friend's from the cul-de-sac!? Let me guess, it was one of the Ed's! You always did seem like a faggot!" Jake yelled mockingly, causing his friends to snicker in response.
Kevin stopped dead in his tracks, feeling his face go white. Could they possibly know that he had Double D at his house yesterday?
"You know what? I bet it was Nat, he seems like a fag too and you always hang around with that loser!" This caused even more of his friends to chuckle.
Kevin relaxed and breathed out a sigh of relief, but his relief soon turned to anger. Kevin turned around to face Jake and his friends.
"I'll make this quick since I'm running late, but if you guys don't want your teeth knocked out, I suggest you know your place you second-place dorks!" Kevin snapped.
Jake's arrogant expression soon turned to rage and he stood up to take a step towards Kevin, but he stopped in his tracks to stare at something behind Kevin. Kevin turned around to see that two of his biggest teammates had walked up to them and were now standing behind him on each side.
"This twerp givin' ya trouble Kev?" Asked a large Polynesian guy.
"Nah, he's hardly worth any trouble, I was just about to leave." Said Kevin as he glared at Jake, his eyes daring him to come closer.
"Good, cuz if he is, we'll teach him a lesson for ya." Said a tall, toned guy with a shaved head.
Jake scoffed. "Tech! I'm not afraid of you or your friends!" He spat as he stepped back into his group of friends.
"Figures, he'd be alone and worthless if he wasn't paying all those kids to be his friends." Hissed the kid with the shaved head.
Jake glared angrily and took a step towards the three, motioning for his buddies to do the same, but before any of them could start a fight, the school bell rang.
Kevin was late! Just when he thought he would actually make it on time! Everyone except for Jake and a couple of his friends, suddenly lost interest in what was going on and quickly made their way into the school. Kevin guessed he was probably going to get detention for this as he walked towards his first class. Great! What a perfect thing to start the day off with!
"Hey Sock-Head!" Exclaimed Eddy as he ran up to Edd. "Guess what me and Lumpy have planned for lunch?" Eddy smiled mischievously up at Edd as he walked next to him through the hallway while Ed tagged along.
Edd lifted one of his eyebrows. "I'm guessing one of your ludicrous scams?" Said Edd as he and Eddy walked towards his third period Zoology class.
Eddy's grin widened. "We're chargin' suckers for deodorant!"
Edd stared at Eddy as if he had grown two heads. "Deodorant!? Eddy, why on earth would you choose to use deodorant to swindle money from students of all things?"
Eddy smirked. "Think about it Sock-Head, who buys deodorant the most?"
Double D paused to think a moment. "I guess it would be teenagers... but I'm still not convinced that your scam will succeed. Where do you plan to get enough deodorant?" He asked.
Eddy swung each of his arms around Ed and Double D. "We're gonna make it of course!"
Double D gave him a perplexed look. "And how exactly do you plan on doing that?? Do you even know how to make deodorant?"
"We gathered up every single bar of soap from our houses and wrapped them up in some plastic. Those suckers will never know the difference!" Eddy replied smugly.
Double D stared at Eddy a moment, sometimes he thought he was the most foolish and ignorant person he had ever met. "I highly doubt anyone is going to be unintelligent enough to fall for that."
"What's the difference? They both get rid of odor!" Eddy argued.
Double D narrowed his eyes. "Well for one you need water in order for a bar of soap to even work."
Eddy rolled his eyes. "Then we'll just soak em in water! Jeez Sock-Head, don't be such a buzzkill."
Edd looked like he was about to argue further, but he sighed in defeat, he had learned to just go along with his scams no matter how ridiculous it was. It was pointless to try and reason with Eddy, no matter how much you tried to provide him with reason, once he had his mind set on something it was impossible to change his mind. "Whatever you say Eddy, I suppose you want me to be of assistance?"
Eddy smiled triumphantly. "Of course! The scam wouldn't work as well without our brains!" Eddy grinned with excitement. "We're gonna be rich!"
Ed smiled excitedly. "Can we buy a chicken if we get some money Eddy!?"
Eddy turned to glare at Ed. "No you idiot! We're gettin' jawbreakers remember!?"
Ed drooled. "Mmm jawbreakers, can we get gravy flavored jawbreakers Eddy!?"
Eddy slapped his forehead in frustration. "What is it with you and gravy?"
Edd sighed and smiled with slight amusement as he shook his head slowly. The three of them walked up to Edd's third period class and Edd turned to face the shorter teenager and Ed. "Farewell, I trust we'll reunite during lunch?"
Eddy smiled. "Unless you decide to chicken out!"
Kevin sat at the popular kids' table right next to Nazz and a couple of his other friends from the football team. Kevin hadn't seen Nat all day, so he assumed he must be absent. The red-haired jock couldn't stop staring across the table at Jessie from across the cafeteria. He had decided he was going to try again with her. He was running through all of the things Edd had told him, and thinking up exactly what he was going to say. What exactly would he say? Act like Dorky and say, "Salutations, sorry for trying to talk to you and get to know you the other day. Oh by the way, did I mention how much I love math and science?" Kevin snickered quietly to himself, as if! He wouldn't be caught dead acting like a dweeb, but apparently from what the Double Dweeb told him, he didn't have to act like a dweeb, all he had to do was act like himself, except nicer, more respectful and polite. Gathering up his courage, and swallowing any doubt he had, he stood up and started to walk towards the new girl's table.
"Where are you going?" Asked Nazz.
Kevin turned his head "I've just got something I have to do, I'll be right back."
As Kevin was walking across the lunchroom, he started to feel doubtful and thought about bailing. No, Kevin was never one to chicken out, and he wasn't going to start now. As he walked up to the table he saw his ex-girlfriend Elise, apparently the new girl's friend now, look up at Kevin, start to smirk and whisper into Jessie's ear. As soon as she did, the new girl turned her head sharply to stare at Kevin with a perplexed look on her face. Kevin tried to return her stare with a friendly smile, but it ended up looking all awkward and forced.
"Hello ladies." Kevin said as he stood in front of the three cheerleaders, one of them was a red-head he had seen in the hallway from time to time, but he knew nothing of her.
"What do you want now?" Asked Jessie in an undertone of annoyance.
Kevin was slightly caught off guard by her hostility once again, but he quickly regained his composure. "Look, I don't want any trouble, whatever it is I did I'm sorry." He paused to hear her answer, but when none of them said a word he continued on. "How about we start over," Kevin held out his hand, "I'm Kevin, Kevin Barr." Jessie paused, as if she was trying to soak in what was happening, and Elise snorted as if she enjoyed watching Kevin belittle himself. Kevin felt his temper rise a bit, he hated that bitch.
Jessie stared at his hand for a moment, then at him with a clear expression of annoyance on her face. "You just don't get it do you? When are you going to give it up?" She spat.
Kevin was dumbfounded. "What?"
"All you jocks are the same, you always go for the prettiest girl in the school so that you can show her off like some trophy to all your buds. You don't stop bothering her until she says yes, then you become angry and spread rumors about her if she says no!" She snapped.
As Kevin tried to protest, she interrupted him. "And once she does say yes, she falls in love with you and you treat her like shit! You go around screwing other girls because you're too insecure that you hit and abuse her, and don't keep your fucking dick in your pants!" She said, becoming more upset, she took a deep breath. "And yet... in spite of all that... she stays... she stays by your side no matter what... and would do anything for you..." Jessie stared at the wall from across the lunchroom with pain in her eyes, as if she were reliving a painful memory.
Kevin and the two girls sitting on either side of her, had a look of shock on their faces, all three of them were at a loss for words. There was a long stretch of silence before Kevin finally spoke up. "I... I'm sorry... whatever it is you've gone through in your past, you didn't deserve it..." Kevin paused, "But I promise you, not all jocks are like that." Kevin suddenly felt a wave of guilt wash over him. Sure it was true that the only reason why he wanted to date her so much was because she was the prettiest girl in the school, but he had never cheated on a girl in his life and would never treat them in such a way.
Jessie just sighed and shook her head. "Just leave me alone... you're nothing but a dumb jock, and always will be..." She replied coldly.
Kevin winced as he felt the sting of her words, he thought about trying to convince her he wasn't as bad as she thought, but he decided the best thing he could do right now was leave her alone. Besides, she was probably right, he would never be more than a dumb jock. Feeling dejected and embarrassed, Kevin nodded curtly and turned to walk out of the cafeteria.
Edd and about half of the students in the cafeteria had witnessed everything that had just happened, he had watched Kevin walk over to the new girl's table and try to strike up a conversation with her, only to be yelled at and rejected. He watched Kevin walk out of the cafeteria with a look of pure embarrassment and dejection spread across his face, and he felt awful for the poor jock. Oh dear... poor Kevin, I hope he's alright... On the other hand, Eddy seemed to be enjoying it and was laughing hysterically, while Ed ate a bar of soap from the bucket they had that was full of them.
"Did you see that Sock-Head!? Kevin, 'the perfect jock' got rejected by the hottest dame in the school! I bet he went to go cry to his Mommy about it!!" Eddy busted out laughing even louder, and Ed started laughing too, most likely not knowing what he was even laughing at.
"Eddy! It's rude to laugh at someone else's misfortune!" Double D scolded.
"Lighten up Sock-Head! This is Kevin we're talking about, who cares how that jerk feels!" Said Eddy.
Edd began to feel frustrated with Eddy, and even more sorry for Kevin. He stood up, "Well I do!" He yelled and turned to walk towards the cafeteria doors.
Eddy stared at Double D in shock for a moment before yelling, "Where are you going!?"
"To go find Kevin!" Edd yelled back without turning around.
"To go find-... wait! Sock-Head! What's gotten into-" But before he could finish his sentence, Double D walked through the cafeteria's doors, and they slammed shut behind him. "You..."
That's the end of chapter 4! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! See you all again in the next chapter! ️
