Kevin looked around Ed's house. It was surprisingly clean, but then again, Ed had begun a lot cleaner when he entered high school. That probably had to do with Edd and his tendency to clean everything in sight.

"What are you doing here, Kevin?" Ed asked as he sat down in a chair across from him at the kitchen table. He had also gotten a lot smarter than he used to be, but Lumpy was still a bit slow.

"I need some information and you're my last resort."

"What kind of information, Kevin? Is it information about the aliens coming from space to probe us all?" Kevin rolled his eyes. Some things never change.

"I need to know about Edd." Ed shifted slightly, uncomfortable about the subject.

"I don't know too much about him now, I don't really talk to him anymore…"

"I know that, but what I need to know, I know that you know. It happened sophomore year." Ed immediately stood up, nearly knocking the chair backwards.

"No, no I don't talk about that. I won't talk about that." Kevin stood up and held out his hands.

"Come on, Ed, I just need a little information about what that rumor was about, and Eddy said that you could tell me." Ed shook his head and he immediately began pushing Kevin to the door.

"I won't talk about that, it's bad." Kevin forced his foot between a loaded bookcase so Ed could no longer push him. He crossed his arms over his chest and pushed himself against the wall, proving his point that he wouldn't leave until he got the information that he wanted.

"Come on Lumpy. The rumor that Eddy told you is a lie, so just tell me what you heard. Whatever it is isn't true, so that should make it easier for you to say." Ed shook his head desperately.

"No, it's not a lie. It's true! I can't tell you!"

"Who told you it's true? Eddy?" Ed was silent for a moment. Kevin smirked slightly, he was working him down. "I need to know what the rumor is." Ed covered his ears to avoid listening to Kevin's demanding.

"I can't say." Kevin crossed his arms over his chest and glared slightly. Suddenly, Ed looked up at him.

"Are you and Double D dating?" Kevin rose his eyebrow and forced out a laugh.

"No." Ed studied him. This kid was much more observant than he used to be.

"I saw you two together a lot recently, and I think Double D likes you." Kevin scoffed.

"Yeah right, you're delusional man."

"He trusts you, like he used to trust us. Doesn't that mean love?" Kevin groaned and pulled off his hat to run his hand through his red did he begin using his brain?

"I don't know dude…" He sighed.

"And I think that you like him too."

"And what makes you think that, Lumpy?"

"Well, when he's late to lunch, you're always looking around for him. And you always look mad when Nat his around him or acting flirty. I think that it makes you jealous. And you look defensive when Andrew comes along… Though you have a reason for that…" That's it, he was breaking him down. Maybe he should roll with it…

"And why should I be jealous if Andrew comes around?" He rose his eyebrow up at him.

"Because of Edd's and Andrew's relationship." Kevin pulled his foot out from the bookcase and he walked closer to him.

"Define relationship." Ed started backing up again, realizing that he said too much. Kevin grabbed onto his arm. He was this close, he wasn't going to stay in the dark any longer.

"They were together, Eddy told me. I guess they were together secretly because Double D never told us about it, and he told us everything. Like everything, he told us he was into guys pretty quickly. I didn't care, but I think Eddy didn't like it too much… And he hung around us all the time, so I don't really know when he would go out with Andrew. But Andrew did talk to him sometimes at school, but Edd always looked nervous. Maybe that was because he liked him? But he never told us… I noticed that he started acting weird, but Eddy told me not to worry about it and that he was fine. But then apparently Edd came to Eddy one day and he told him that he and Andrew…" Ed stopped talking for a while, he looked like the words he was about to speak were poison on his tongue. "They did the dirty stuff that Eddy always talked about doing with girls. Eddy was enraged and he told me that I couldn't be around Edd anymore, and that he was dirty and bad. I didn't understand, I don't understand. I can't imagine Edd doing something like that… Something so bad… But then Eddy told the whole school about it, and everyone seemed to think that Eddy was right in saying that they should stay away from him and that Edd did something bad. All my friends would yell at me every time I tried talking to him, even though he looked so sad… Then Andrew left school, I tried to ask Eddy why, but he never answered me. He seemed pretty upset about it…" Kevin stared at him, shocked. That couldn't be true… Nat said that Eddy lied about what happened, but that story seems...he didn't really know. He didn't know whether to believe it or not, and he could tell why the whole school believed what Eddy had said.

"Don't tell Double D I told you, okay? If you didn't know, he probably didn't want you to know." Kevin nodded numbly and without saying anything else, he pushed past him and out of his house.

Kevin made his way to Edd's house. He needed to know exactly what happened, or if what Ed told him was true. Lumpy did leave a few things empty. Maybe Edd did come and talk to him, and he was going based off of not only what Eddy said, but what Edd admitted to. Would he actually do that? Would he? With Andrew? He walked around to the cul-de-sac to see Edd's door open and he was standing at the door frame, someone else towering over him. Someone bigger, and he could see Edd shaking. Andrew was leaning against the door frame with a smirk on his face. He seemed to be eating up Edd's obvious fear. Kevin stared and took a step back. Maybe he could talk to Edd about it later… Or maybe not at all. If he knew the rumor, maybe know he could know the truth. He turned before he was caught and he ran out of the neighborhood, holding his hat onto his head as he ran. His mind raced and all he could think of were Ed's words-all of Ed's words- as he ran to Nat's house.
