Jealousy comes unexpected
Chapter 10
Well, it was now Thursday afternoon, everyone was packing up to go home. Edd was at his locker getting the books he needed for homework, when a familiar voice popped up behind him. He turned to see that it was Rave.
"Hello, Edd." He greeted. "Salutations, Rave. How was your day?" He greeted back. "Ugh...fine, I guess. You would not believe who I'm going to the Halloween Dance with?" Rave said as he rolled his eyes and leaned against the locker next to Edd's. "Who?" Edd asked.
Rave looked at him with an annoyed pout on his face.
"Nathan Goldberg." He said with annoyance in his voice. "I thought you said 'No' the first time he asked you." Edd said as air his locker door and began to walk down the hall, Rave walked with him. "I did! But his teal, football playing, stalker ass didn't take 'No' for an answer and he just kept coming around. Around to the point where I had no choice but to say yes. I have to admit, though, his determination is kinda cute." Rave laughed and Edd joined him.
When the laughing died down Rave looked at Edd.
"What about you?" Rave asked. "What about?" Edd asked. "Have you decided who you're going to the dance with? Cause both Carlos and Kevin asked you on Monday."
Well, some of it was true. Carlos did ask Edd that morning, but Kevin demanded that Edd go to the dance with him, or at least by himself.
"I've decided and I'm going by myself." Edd answered. "Really? You're not going with anyone?" Rave asked surprised. "Yeah. It's Halloween so it would be better to spend that night with everyone." Edd said as he made his way down the stairs. "Okay. Well, who are you going as?" Rave asked.
Edd tapped his finger on his chin.
"I'll think of something."
A few hours after Edd got home, Edd did his homework, and ate dinner. Then he went up stairs to his closet and pulled out some black and purple fabric, his sewing machine, a few other things, and a started sewing. After a while, he was done, and put his project away for next Friday night. Edd let out a small yawn as he headed for the shower. When he got to the bathroom, he shut the door and started the shower. The sound of running water echoed through the house. Edd stripped himself out of his clothing and looked in the mirror. Memories of the night Kevin was here invaded his mind.
'Eddward, come on. You don't have time for this.' Edd thought, calming himself down.
After his shower, Edd put on his night clothes, and settled into his bed. Edd left his beanie on the dresser so his violet/black hair was out. Edd reached under his bed, pulled out his "Memories" box, opened it, and pulled out the Halloween picture he saw Kevin took before he left. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the image of little Red Power Ranger standing next to his younger self. Edd put away the photo, put the box back under his bed, laid back on his bed, and closed his eyes as he pulled the blanket on top of him. Edd thought about the dance, he thought about Kevin, and he thought about Carlos. Somehow, Edd developed a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach growing slowly inside him; something was gonna happen at that dance and it would involve all three of them.
