October 26th

Marie got off the school bus and made her way to the cafeteria. She sat down at an empty table and started to eat her breakfast. Lee then came over and sat down next to her.

"So May and Ed have been spending a lot of time together." Lee said, Marie looked over to find May and Ed sitting next to each other reading a comic book together. Marie smiled and remembered when Double D dropped May off at the house from the dance, she was so happy and told Marie all that she and Ed did. Which was dance mostly, then she said something that Marie didn't think she would have ever heard. Ed kissed her on the cheek

"Well they had fun at the dance." Marie said, Lee snickered.

"Maybe Double D can talk Eddy into taking me to a dance then." She said and rubbed her head, "Speaking of which where is my man?" She asked and looked around the room.

"I think he's trying out for basketball." Marie said, Lee suddenly turned to Marie.

"Basketball?" She asked puzzled.

"I think he's in the gym." She said. Lee nodded.

"Alright then come on." Lee said and grabbed Marie's hand and started to pull her.

"Why do I have to go?" She asked.

"Because I said so." Lee said and dragged her sister into the gym.

The two Kanker sisters walked into the gym to find many boys playing basketball while three coaches watched. As the Kankers made their way to the bleachers Lee taped Marie's shoulder.

Marie looked up at Lee and noticed she was pointing towards the bleachers, when she turned her gaze she saw Double D with a video camera on a tripod. Lee dragged her sister up to where Double D was sitting at.

"Hey there handsome." Lee said, Double D quickly turned around and was startled when he saw Lee hovering over him.

"O...Oh...Help Lee." He said nervously, Lee laughed.

"Don't mind me...I'm just passing by." She said and walked past him, Double D then noticed Marie and waved at her.

Awe he looks so happy to see me. She thought and remembered a time when he would have run away at the first sight at her. Marie sat down next to him and watched as he adjusted the camera around.

"So what are you doing?" She asked, Double D looked at her for a quick second and then back at the camera.

"Recording Eddy's tryouts." He said, Marie nodded and looked around looking for Eddy.

"So how is he doing?" She asked.

"Well he's made the ball in the basket a few times, I think he's doing good." He said.

"GO EDDY!" Lee shouted, Marie and Double D both turned their heads to find Lee waving her arms around shouting. "YOU GOT THIS EDDY!" She shouted, Marie then noticed Eddy had the ball, He stopped moving and looked over at Lee with a look of horror on his face, and then someone came bay and took the ball from him. Eddy snapped back to reality and chased after the ball.

"GOT TO KEEP FOCUSED LITTLE MAN!" Lee shouted, Marie chuckled a little then remembered the art project was due today.

"So did you finish the art project?" She asked. Double D nodded.

"Why in fact I did." Double D said, Marie smiled and really wanted to see it.

"Can I see it?" She asked.

"I already turned it in." He said. Marie laughed.

"You are such an over achiever." She said.

Marie made her way to the art room and sat down, and waited on Double D. After a few minutes Double D showed up and smiled when he looked at Marie, she noticed and started to blush. Double D sat down next to her and smiled.

"What?" She asked.

"Eddy made the team." He said.

"Well that's good." She said.

Although I don't really care that much. She thought, At least your happy about it. The art teacher came in and looked at the students.

"Hello class, now I have your art projects and will have them graded before class is over, you may have a free period today." She said, all the students then started to talk to each other.

"So how do you think you did?" Marie asked while looking at Double D who looked like he was doing work from last period.

"Well I hope I did good." He said while continuing to work on whatever it was he was doing.

The hour went by quickly and the teacher started speaking.

"Alright class I have graded your projects...Now remember the top best three gets an A+, I have the top three, When I call your name please come up and get your project. First best project goes to... Marie Kanker.

"Naturally." She said jut so only Double D would hear her.

"Good job." Double D said as she got up, Marie grabbed her project and sat back down next to Double D. Double D leaned over to look at her project which was a drawing of a sunset over a forest and mountains.

"Second best goes to Dan Henderson." She said, and a tall muscular guy with black hair and green eyes stood and grabed his project, he then sat back down.

"And third best goes too...Eddward Vincent." She said, at hearing this Marie was so happy she literally jumped up and shouted.

"Go Edd!" She shouted and relized what she had done, all the students and the teacher looked up at her. Marie faked coughed and sat back down and patted Double D's back. "Good job." She said.

Double D stood and walked over to the teacher and grabed his art project, he made his way back to Marie and showed her what he drew. It was a picture of a living room that was very detailed and in the middle where two people dancing, a man and woman.

"What do you think?" He asked, Marie looked into his eyes and smiled.

"I love it...Can I have it?" She asked.

"Ugh I don't know I'm really proud of it." He said.

"Too late it's mine." She said and took the drawing, "I'll hang it up in my room...This way whenever you want to see it, and you'll have to see me." She said. Double D smiled showing his gap.

"I don't need the drawing to want to see you." He said. Marie blushed and smiled.
