As time went by working with Renee on our robots I was able to understand her and Edd more and more every day. Luckily she and I like electromagnetic engineering so building with her was easy, she told me in the past not a lot of people liked the idea what they were doing so things were thrown in frustration.

"So Kevin camp is almost over and I'll be living with Edd."
"What you'll be living right across the street from me."

I couldn't help but smile she was the bridge I needed to get to know Edd.

"Oh Renee just wondering why you both always wear a beanie, I mean if you don't want to answer you don't have to."
"It's personal for the both of us."
"Oh okay sorry."
"Its fine a lot of people ask us."

She then got a call from her friend Sam and walked away to talk. As I was finishing up the last of the checks for the big fight tomorrow. I couldn't wait I knew we were going to win and we were both going to be on our way to MIT.

I then heard Renee scream I got up and ran over to where she was and saw two girls and her laughing.

"Oh sorry Kevin this is Renae and Sam two of my best friends."
"Oh nice to meet you."
"Oh my! He's so adorable Renee."
"I guess anyways dorks what are you guys doing here?"
"Duh here to see the fight and watch you get that scholarship to MIT"

We finished the last of the checks and locked up the robot with a lot of locks. Then the four of us hung out in the dining hall.

"So Renae how are you and Plank doing?"
"We're doing great he makes me happy and well yeah."
"That's good Sam everything been okay at home?"
"Yeah it's been okay I mean they are still mad at me about dating older guys. Anyways Kevin you've been quiet so how has it been putting up with Renee."
"It's been really fun I mean I wake up knowing we are one step closer to building things that could help the world someday."
"Oh hey guys he knows Edd and Plank they go to the same school."

Once that was said they went on and on about stories with all of them together she knew I would want to hear more about him and I couldn't help but smile and laugh along because these three prove that Edd is not really a bad guy.

"Oh hey Sam how is Bekah?"
"She's okay I guess she still hasn't talked to you?"
"No she hasn't, I figured she is still really upset with me."
"She is more hurt then anything maybe during swim camp things will work themselves out."
"I hope so."

As the day went on and more stories got shared we all returned to our rooms the girl slept together and I was alone. Maybe I can text Nat.

[Hey Nat how is your summer been?]
[Kevin! It's been great hanging out with Naz missing you doll face ):]
[That's good tell her I said hi! Anyways I meet someone here that is like the coolest person ever!]
[Details what are they like! Don't hold anything back!]
[Well she is just like Edd actually in fact they are best friends she's also coming to the school next year (:]
[Dude that sounds bad she's just going to be a bitch just like he's going to be an ass just like every year. In fact why are you happy about it?]
[Well once you get to know her she isn't bad at all and neither is Edd!]

I never got a text back from Nat maybe I shouldn't have told him about Renee. I do still have Edd's number from when we worked together on a project.

I sat there twirling my thumbs over the key board what would I say to him everything I know about him is from Renee and it might make him mad at her for tell me things that he might not have wanted me to know about. Ugh this sucks I think I'm just going to go to bed.

The next morning Renee woke me up for the battle her friends were there to record the fights like they do every year. Battle after battle we won I couldn't believe it our robot was the smallest out of all of them and we won. The dean from MIT came up to us to congratulate us on a job well done and said if MIT is the school for you you'll get a 10,000 dollar scholarship. We both said yes and everything was perfect.

When I got home I saw a moving truck at his house she must be moving in finally.

"Kevin dear I'm home"
"Hey mom."
"How was Robotics camp did you win?"
"Yes! I got a 10,000 dollar scholarship to MIT!"
"That's great we should celebrate!"

It had been just my mom and I for a while now since dad left she's been working so hard and now she has one less thing to worry about.

"Oh Kevin do you know what is going on at Edd's house are they moving?"
"No someone is moving in, actually the girl I was working with at Robotics camp."

I told her all about Renee and Edd, I'm happy to have an accepting mom who loves me no matter what and when I told her Edd likes me as well she was jumping with joy and went on about how great it would be if we got together. Then when I explained he doesn't know that I like him as well she said well the way he seems to be he just doesn't realize it and that Renee was a blessing to walk into their lives.

Across the street was a different kind of joy.

"Yo Renee where does this box go?"
"Over there Edd."

I put the box down where she said it went. I was happy to have my best friend here finally.

"So how was camp?"
"Fine Edd it was fun."
"I know you don't really like it here but they are gone almost all the time."
"I know but it's just the fact that I have to pretend to be someone I'm not just to please someone I don't like it."
"I know I've been living with it for almost 18 years it sucks but I mean you being here will make it easier to handle them."
"Okay I hope so. I am thankful you know to get to live with you and what not I don't mind it just next week I'm not looking forward to it you know she hates me."

I knew what she was thinking about and I didn't blame her for feeling the way that she did she was in love and had her heart broken. Just then my phone went off.

"Sorry it's probably Plank wanting to hang out."

[Hey Edd its Kevin]
[Hello Pumpkin where have you been?]

"So Plank is coming over?"
"No someone else texted me."

[I went to camp and I need help with something.]
[What do you need?]
[Never mind I found it sorry to bother you!]

That was weird he normally doesn't text me and what did he find that he needed help with. Oh well Renee needs help unpacking.

Back across the street.

Kevin was still talking to his mom about Edd and Renee and how much fun he had at camp.

"Well Kevin why don't you invite Renee over for dinner, it would be nice to meet her."
"Okay!"

As I got to my room I grabbed my bag looking for her number. Crap I can't find it I guess I can text Edd for it. As I texted him I found her number thank goodness.

[Hey Renee, its Kevin my mom was wondering if you would like to have dinner with us when you finish unpacking.]
[Not tonight maybe tomorrow, sorry Edd and I already ordered chines food and watching movies]

I went back down stairs to let my mom know that Renee was going to come over tomorrow because Renee and Edd already ordered food. So mom and I ended up cooking dinner and watching movies.
