Loud voices, several pairs of feet scampering about, and the smell of fresh sweat mixed in with blood and urine were signs of only one thing: the first day of school was here. As he happily pranced in the hallway, Double D made sure he flashed some of the new students bright smiles as well as new teachers. He always loved the first day of school. So much education was waiting to be sought.

Of course, Edd was happy for more than just that reason. He couldn't stop recollecting the events with Kevin from the previous night. For the first time in his entire life, he had actually felt loved. Like he was worth something after all.

But still, in the back of his mind, he couldn't help but feel some sort of emotion involving guilt and sorrow. After Eddy's reaction to his and Kevin's relationship, he feared that he wouldn't want to ever speak to him again. But why he reacted the way he did was beyond the genius. Was it because he's homophobic...or because he was hurt to see Double D with another boy?

Either way it went, Edd remained concerned for his friend. But, of course, he had to remember to stay content now that he was with Kevin. Also, now that their relationship was out in the open, the Kanker sisters no longer desired to be with him. Instead, they stalked him and Kevin around school, swooning everytime the two made-out.

Looks like Kevin and I have fangirls...

Unfortunately, they didn't share the same first period. Double D had Chemistry and Kevin had Remedial English. In fact, Double D didn't have ANY classes with his close friends. The only time he would ever get to see Ed, Eddy, and Kevin was during lunch (of course, he'd arrange a plan with Kevin so that they could "magically" run into each other whenever their teachers thought they were out to the bathroom).

Of course, Kevin, Ed, and Eddy shared the same first period. So, Double D made Kevin promise that he'd be nice to the two. That is, of course, they were nice back. And the only one in that department that worried him was Eddy.

Double D was slightly worried because Eddy just simply refused to speak to either him or Kevin. This was the first time he had ever reacted this badly about Double D making new friends that hated him. Maybe it was because him and Kevin were more than just friends? All he knew was that Eddy's silence could kill a litter of puppies.

Now as for Kevin, well, it wasn't a surprise that Eddy refused to speak to him. He never really enjoyed spending time with him to begin with and now that he was dating his best friend, it just gave him more of a reason not to. That is, of course, unless Eddy felt the need to make a very nasty retort at Kevin. Since he and Double D were an item now, the simple insults became battle cries of severe hatred.

It was now lunch time at Peach Creek High and the whole gang was reminded of this time and time again because of Ed's growling stomach. "I'm hungry, Double D!". Edd just smiled as his dumb friend and replied with, "We all are, Ed. Just wait your turn in line and-". "C'mon Ed, lets go...".

And with that, a sullen Eddy and a hungry Ed left the couple at the back of the line. Double D sighed and turned to Kevin. "I think we need to talk to him, Kevin". Kevin shot a "what the hell" look at him as he came back with, "What?! He's an asshole, Double D! He's just jealous that I won your heart and he didn't. He's just being a sore loser about it!".

Double D frowned. "I sure hope that's the reason...". Kevin gently nudged at his side. "Hey...he'll calm down eventually, okay? Don't worry about him".

Edd gave his boyfriend a faint smile. An overwhelming feeling started to overcome him, though not fully. It was a feeling that killed your insides at the very thought. The kind of feeling of wishing you that you didn't do something that you did.

That's the problem, Kevin. I can't seem to STOP worrying...
