Chapter 20:

"Like I said, one of us has to talk to him. So, I'll go first."

Craig rolled his eyes thinking to himself as to why he was having Kenny join this plan, "So you're just going to barge in his class and demand him to answer whatever you're going to ask him?"

Kenny crossed his arms, "No, that would be rude. Anyway, I'll just show his teach a pass and ask if he wan step outside so we can have a chat."

"You do realize, we are in the middle of history class. Right?" Craig replied gesturing the class they were in at the moment.

"I know that. I'll just ask for a pass to the restroom and go to his class. Piece of cake." Kenny said with a grin as he began to stand up from his seat.

Craig sighed knowing he had no choice but to let the blonde continue his plan.

'If he pisses off Clyde...He'll never tell us.'

"Mr. McCormick? What brings you to my classroom, young man? Do you have a pass?"

Kenny cleared his throat and nodded at the teacher as he showed her the paper in his grasp.

"Yeah I do ma'am. And can I speak to Clyde outside. Please?"

Clyde heard his name and saw he teacher nodding at him so that he can step outside.

After they stepped outside and standing out in the halls, Kenny turned around to face him with a serious expression.

Clyde paused and realized the blonde's mood was different than it was earlier in the morning. Although he wasn't really looking forward to talking, he was getting slightly nervous.

"Clyde."

"Yeah Kenny?" Clyde said thinking maybe he should ask him why he got him out of class.

Kenny sighed, "What's up with you?"

His heart skipped a beat. '...Huh?-'

Swallowing thickly, he asked, "What? What are you talking about dude? Nothing is up with me."

Kenny continued to speak, "Are you sure about that?"

Clyde flinched but remained calm and answered him.

"Yeah. Why are you asking?"

"What is this idiot planning, Donovan?"

'I-I don't know, Eddy...But the way he's looking at me...It's as if-'

Noticing how the brunette was slightly tensing, Eddy asked, "Do you want me to get rid of him if any questions are getting out of hand?"

"I'm just wondering, you know we are getting concern of you."

'...Can you?...'

Eddy smirked.

"I know, but honestly there is nothing up with me. I'm just stressing over school work. No big deal."

Kenny furrowed his eyebrow, "Are you sure? Come on, you can tell me anything. Aren't I your friend Clyde?"

Clyde bit the inside of his cheek, 'E-Eddy..!'

"As you wish. Just close your eyes."

The brunette did as he was told and closed his eyes for a brief moment.

Eddy blinked and gave a satisfied smile as he changed his brown eyes to the brunette's emerald color eyes.

He then turned towards Kenny and answered his question, "I know you're my friend Kenny. But, there's nothing up dude."

Kenny frowned, "Alright, you know what? Cut the crap." He took a couple of steps in front of the brunette.

"You're not okay, Clyde and you have been acting weird this week. So either I tell your parents something is wrong with you or I tell the others."

Eddy heard Clyde gasp making his body tense, 'H-How did he-'

"Calm down...It's alright." Eddy reassured him making him fall asleep. He didn't want the boy to be afraid, just yet.

Clearing his throat, he spoke in the brunette's voice, "Really, there's nothing is wrong with me."

"You're lying."

Eddy clenched his fists, "This kid..."

"No I'm not. Why the hell do you care anyway?"

"Because I want to help you Clyde. I know you're not okay."

Eddy was getting annoyed but he tried not to show it on the brunette's face, he figured he should try acting like Clyde, "Listen Ken, I'm fine, whatever you are assuming, I'm okay, honestly."

Kenny sighed once more then nodded and gave him a smile, "Fine...Sorry Clyde. It's just, if one of my friends are having a hard time, I just want to, you know, help. That's all."

Eddy's eye twitched slightly but he made Clyde give out a chuckle, "It's cool. Anyway, you should probably head to class. The bell is about to ring."

The blonde gave him one last look then nodded stepping back to go back to his class.

Seeing the blonde out of sight and hearing the sound of a door closed, Eddy frowned and punched a locker making a dent to whoever's it was, "Goddamnit!"

After a few second, he narrowed his eyes making Clyde's eyes change to brown for a split second then back to emerald.

"We're going to have to be careful next time. I can't risk his stupid friends to find out...Those idiots can't help him. Even if one of them saved him, time is running out."

He looked around before he closed his eyes and saw the brunette inside his mind curled up asleep, with a painful expression.

Eddy smiled devilishly then opened his eyes, "And yet, he's still afraid. Slowly, I'll get him to break."

Walking back to the teen's class, let out a dark chuckle, "I might even make him lose hope."

He could hear the brunette slightly whimpering inside his head which satisfied him.

"Soon..."

"So how'd go?"

Craig asked seeing as the blonde finally returned while he started to get his things into his backpack noticing the class was about to be over in a couple of minutes.

Kenny answered him, "He seemed somewhat hesitant dude."

Craig raised an eyebrow, now that was strange, "What do you mean he was hesitant? What did you do?"

The other put his hands up in a defense manner, "I didn't do anything. I just talked to him about what's up with him lately and he keeps giving me the excuse that its only school work."

"The same excuse?"

Kenny nodded, "The same excuse."

Craig shook his head.

'Clyde...What the hell?'

"There's nothing to be afraid of Clyde." Someone whispered making his eyes look around in the dim light place.

"You're lying..." He mumbled.

"Nobody is going to save you, Clyde. No one..."

Suddenly he felt fingers touch his forehead lightly, making his vision see shadows and darkness around him.

Clyde jolted away from the touch, eyes widening in fear, "Don't touch me!" he screamed clutching his head, "Get the hell away from me!"

He flinched and let out a gasp as voices of others started to flood his mind just like last time. He began to shake and threw his head back, "Stop! Eddy! Please!" he said as images started to appear also. "Please!" he yelled, tears falling down his cheeks.

Just then everything fell silent, the only sounds he heard were the echos of his sobs.

"..I'm scared."

A/N: Last week was hell for me you guys, you have no idea...OTL. Anyway~ Let me clarify about Clyde's mom. I wrote this story before the episode Reverse Cowgirl was aired/came out/ so his mom is alive in my story. When he gets that vision about her, it was just a nightmare Eddy made him remember from when he was that age.(I was gonna mention his mom a long time ago but I forgot to. '^^.) Review~
