Double D was insanely interested in Marie's sudden interest in actually learning in school. She had this sudden determination about her and it made her look gorgeous. He couldn't help but observe the way she bit the eraser of her pencil when she concentrated and how her shoulders hunched over when she stared down at her paper.
They were in high school now, not middle school-ers anymore, sophomores to be exact. Double D was already at a junior level and he was just a freshman. Eddy was barely passing. Ed, he was in special classes… But often didn't go to his actual classes because for some reason Eddy needed Lumpy for every one of his classes; maybe to boost his own self-esteem. Double D knew that May was barely passing, Lee was excelling in Kanker standards and Marie was quite average in her grades. Marie was beyond average in every other way.
Double D wanted to shake himself, he was sure it was just teenage hormones taking over.
"Marie is totally freaking me out… She's acting all… normal." Eddy was muttering as they walked in the hall. "Kankers aren't normal, period."
Double D scrunched up his brow at Eddy. "Maybe Marie has changed."
"Kankers don't change, Sock Head! Kankers are Kankers and that's all they'll ever be. They are evil girls that just want to kiss all the time and… that's just gross." It was obvious Eddy wasn't really sure what he was saying and if he didn't shut up now he would just keep talking and talking and talking.
"I packed extra gravy today, Eddy!" Ed exclaimed and grinned down at the floor with his hands in his pockets, it looked like he was trying to tear through his pockets.
"That's great, Lumpy." Eddy muttered. "…Maybe that Kanker is planning something!"
Double D sighed. "You're being much too suspicious, Eddy. You're being quite the pessimist toward all of the Kankers. Maybe they've changed."
"Marie had you pinned to the floor and was smooching you all over just the other day!" Eddy exclaimed, looking at his long time friend like he had just damned all money to hell, angry and betrayed.
"I've changed also, Eddy and… I don't feel bothered as much as I used to toward Marie." Double D explained slowly and ended with a sigh. "She's just a girl Eddy, not as bad as dictator at and she's misunderstood."
"…Every word that came out of your mouth sounded like 'Marie…Marie… I love you… Marie… Kiss me, kiss me.'" Eddy gagged a bit. "You must be kidding right? The Kankers don't deserve us, they're kind of trailer trash you know?" Eddy was just letting his big mouth run. "We deserve sexy ladies! Personally, I'd want a chick with crazy amazing curves and who knows how to have a fun time and has an awesome laugh and has red-" He stopped for moment and blinked his widening eyes. "What the…?"
Double D tried to cover the knowing smirk that was crawling across his lips; he had to stifle the snicker that rose in his throat.
"What? Who did I just…?" Eddy trailed off.
"I believe this dream girl of yours is-" Double D was about to input but Eddy held up his hand and shook his head.
"Don't say a thing."
Double D smiled with a small chuckle and looked at Ed. "What about you Ed? Do fancy anyone?"
"I like chickens, Double D." Ed replied hugging himself.
Double D laughed. "No, a girl, Ed. Do you like a girl?"
"Naz is pretty, Double D." Ed said this time. "I like girls who eat."
Double D blinked, surprised. Ed has never said so much in one go. Double D couldn't help but point out, "All girls eat, Ed, it's necessary to live."
"No, like a lot, Double D!" Ed exclaimed. "Like a whole turkey on thanksgiving…"
Double D smiled and laughed a little, he was right. Maybe the Kankers have changed and maybe they have too! It seemed like a good change. Double D kept thinking like this as Ed continued describing his dream girl.
"And she's got to be pretty, Double D, like Naz but not Naz. 'Cause Naz and Kevin belong together." Ed laughed a little and then continued more. "And she has to cook, Double D, like toast and gravy, all of the time. And we'll have chickens… And toast… And gravy. Gravy is yummy, Double D."
And just like that Ed reverted back into his kind of mindless self.
The bell rang and Double D was instantly shot with panic. "I'm late? I'm late!" He then ran the rest of the way to class with Eddy and Ed in his wake.
