Hullo guys, this is going to be my first cartoon, first boy's love and first time doing this. I am actually writing RyoSaku fics (The Prince of Tennis anime) and while I am still thinking of a plot, my thoughts of making a different story from my original pairings take place. So, please have mercy. I don't know if I do well in this but I do hope you'll love this first chapter. Mostly, the chapters are song-related.

Note: This is rated M, by the way because of profanities, violence, implied sexual activities (not sure for the clear ones, probably I'll go for non explicit), and mostly dark scenes. I love dramas so this include some too. But I'll assure you this is going to be a happy ending, if you allow me to continue, that is.

Another note: The reason I wrote this was because of Malec (The Mortal Instruments) and Solangelo (Implied pairing from Percy Jackson series). I was, actually am inspired of their stories and I couldn't help but to write one. Save for anime with the same genre.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ed, Edd and Eddy and never ever will

Chapter 1: Boys just wanna have fun

Chapter Summary: It all started of Eddy's small prank and everything became a chaos.

I took a deep breath as I walked along the hallway inside the campus. Today was marked the first day of the semester. Every student of Peach Creek was not seriously excited about this fated day but, of course, yours truly. It was totally absurb for a guy to like studying while the others should have been dilly dallying around.

But I was different.

People often called me by names. Dork, Nerd, Bookworm, The Geek, The Walking Encyclopedia, Anything that went by my appearance. It was just the first day of the class so who would not?

Eddward here, by the way. I am a freshman from the Peach Creek University. I graduated high school in the same university and was offered to continue my studies by having a full scholarship. It was actually a good idea and I didn't have to work too much on my papers. It would be an opportunity for me and the chances for the doors to open of being a teacher someday would be high.

So why not? I grabbed it.

I made my way to my locker. Just before the summer break ended, I fixed everything from locker to dorm needs. I didn't actually need to stay in dorms but since I spent too much time studying, it was better to have one. No one at home was going to welcome me anyway. Saved for notes and non-consistent messages from my parents.

Sighing, I grabbed my books and closed my locker when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Hey, sockhead!"

A smile formed from my lips as I turned around and faced the person who 'called' me, "salutations, Eddy," I greeted and looked at the tall person beside him, "and Ed."

Ed who was abliss of the sound of his name jumped on me and greeted me with a tight hug, "Hi Double D! I miss you!"

I chuckled at his antics as I tried to pat his back. I could never get used of his behaviour and my goodness, of his smell, "Likewise Ed."

"What's the catch? Excited already on our first day of school?" Eddy asked me.

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world, Eddy." I answered as Ed let go of me.

The shorter guy huffed and rolled his eyes, "Shouldn't have asked."

Another chuckle came from my lips, "Well, come on. We wouldn't want to be late on our first day, would we?" I said walking ahead of them.

"Yeah, yeah, we got it." Eddy said as he followed behind while Ed followed him.

It felt so good to see familiar faces like my best friends. It wasn't like I couldn't see them last summer breaks, it felt so nice to see them at school doing things together. Ed and Eddy wouldn't be staying at dorms unlike me and so the rest of the Cul-de-sac kids, not like they weren't kids anymore. I was in the middle of explaining my plans for the day to my best friends when someone bumped me on my shoulder. I almost stumbled forward if it weren't for Eddy who grabbed me to my other arm.

"Watch it, dork!"

I stared closely to the guy who bumped me. He was rather tall and quite big. I knew him but I couldn't remember his name.

"You watch it, punk!" Eddy answered for me. I shushed him as panic shot right through me.

Before the guy could retort, a rather familiar figure pushed him forward, "Stop making a commotion in the hallway Chad!"

I instantly grabbed my shoulder as I watched the newcomer. He had his signature hat attached on his head. A jersey doning his athletic body and a stoic expression on his face as he stared back at me, "Oh, it's you."

"G-greetings, Kevin." That was all I could say. There were words I wanted to say to this guy in front of me but somehow, words were betraying me at this moments. Two more guys which I was also familiar with came behind him. A teal-green haired and a violet haired guy both stared at me. This time, I lowered my eyes.

"It has been a while, Double Dork!" The teal-haired guy said which was followed by a chuckle. I could hear the other guy huff sensing that he would never say anything. They were Kevin's best buddies and if I remembered it correctly, which was no doubt that I did, their names would be Rolf, Nathan and Rave.

Before I could say anything, the other guys behind them shoved them forward. That was the time I remembered the guys. They were from football team.

"They are getting on my nerves," Eddy firmly said beside me, "You should keep your distance from him.""

"What? Who do you prefer to?" I looked at my best friend.

"Kevin and the rest of them, duh,' He said loosening up as we watched the whole team left the area, "Things are not the same anymore now that they are here "

Eddy's words were planted in my brain. We never saw Kevin and the rest of the team since the start of the summwr break. It was actually a peaceful summer vacation without our bullies. I would have been lying if said to myself but I didn't feel relieve of not seeing them for almost three months of vacation.

"But things are getting exciting since they arrived." Eddy grinned as he brushed both of his hands in front of him.

"What are you planning?" I asked not feeling good the moment he said his words.

"Yeah, Eddy, what is so exciting about?" Ed asked looking alternatively between us, "More gravy? Alien abduction? Chickens attack?"

"It's more than that, Lumpy," Eddy said and pushed both Eddy and me ahead, "Now get your butts roll on the floor before we come late on our first class. Mr. Smarty-pants here does not want it for being one."

I tried forgetting what he was planning to do as we made our way to our first class. Somehow, I was worried of his earlier thoughts he said about the readhead bully. Eddy was right. Staring at Kevin's eyes were intimidating and that was proven when I stared at them a while ago.

Kevin himself was intimidating.

The first day was rather uneventful for me but that didn't mean I did not enjoy it. I was a simpleton as I admitted it to myself. I liked ordinary lives and nothing could change that.

What could go wrong?

Those where my thoughts before someone grabbed my hand and dragged me out as I left the library. I left the classroom earlier as soon as the lesson was over. I asked the librarian to allow me of being her assistant for the whole semester, which she happily accepted. To our surprise, Kevin and Nat were our classmates for most of our classes, much to both party's chagrin. Chad, Rolf, Rave and rest of the team were just in the other classroom next to us. Thinking back to my earlier action, I saw the figure who was dragging me in the hallway,

"Eddy! What are you doing?" I asked trying to break free from his grip, "It's inappropriate to run in the hallway! Let go of my wrist this instant!"

"You wouldn't be saying that if you were saving you life from getting killed!" Eddy said behind him.

My eyebrows burrowed as I became speechless. Soon after, I heard footsteps following us. Ed was behind us as if he was having all the fun in the world. I turned my vision in front and retorted, "Just what did you guys do this time? On the first of the class rather?"

"Eddy and I placed thumb tacks in the whole team's sneakers while they were practicing in the field!" Ed said as if it was the easiest thing to do.

"You did what?!"

"You should have been there and seen their faces. They were priceless!"

"Eddy!"

"Quit it sockhead! I told you it would be exciting," Eddy said ignoring him, "It's also for a payback for bumping into yo-"

He was stopped short when a figure blocked our way ahead of us. My eyes widened when I recognized the person who bumped me this morning. He was limping, a sole proof that he was a victim of Eddy's prank. Chad was with the other two, "You'll pay for this."

Eddy shrugged as if it was really nothing, "It would have been better if I put something suitable," He smirked at him, "Something that would go over your athlete's foot."

"What is better than thumb tacks, Eddy?" Ed simply asked the other.

I tried talking our way out before Eddy could answer him but footsteps behind finally approached us. Kevin and the rest of the team with the same condition were glaring daggers at us except for Nat who found the situation rather amusing.

"Do you have any death wish?" Chad asked bending his knuckles as if they were itching to punch someone, which I feared they would any time now., "before I kill you?"

"My wish?" Eddy asked mockingly, waving his question, "Oh, you should not have. Well, your own death may be preferable for a wish."

"You asked me for it!" Chad gritted his teeth before he charged at us.

"ATHLETE'S FOOT!' Ed shouted as he followed Eddy who also charged in front.

I tried stopping them but Eddy pushed me backwards real hard. I firmly closed my eyes, preparing myself for the pain that I soon would experience. But there was no pain. Something firm touched my back. Hands grabbed my shoulders. When I was certain that I was not going to fall, I slowly opened my eyes. Turning around, I saw Kevin giving me the stoic reaction and I couldn't help but stare back. I held my breath for a couple of seconds as I didn't know what to do.

"You stay out of this." He muttered clearly before roughly pushed me to the wall beside him. There was a slight feeling that I thought he gripped my shoulders before letting me go. I also watched Rave and Nat followed Kevin and joined the commotion.

To my horrible vision, I could see my best friends fighting for their lives. It was terrfying and the corridor was a total mess. Some students came to watch like they didn't have anything to do. If this went on, the teachers would see and things would go bad.

I never wanted to receive such punishment on our first day, not because I am saving myself for the scholarship.

They were my friends for goodness sake.

Without thinking too much, I dived myself in and landed before Eddy, who was bruised all over. I closed my eyes when I saw a fist in front of me but stopped short before it totally hit me. I slowly opened my eyes and observed my surroundings. Ed was lying on the ground near us. I knew that he was breathing because of his lungs' movements and I felt relieved for that.

"Stop this instant!" I shouted to my lungs and willed myself to face the jocks in front of us, "This is totally unfair. Why could you just remain students for once? It's only just the first day of school!"

The rest of the team stared agape at him. My arms were spread as I tried stopping the whole fight. My eyes landed on Chad who was smirking at me.

"Students, you say!" He took a step front of me and tapped his foot to my face. I tried not to wince at the germs his shoe was giving to my face, "Why don't you tell that to your dorky friend, dork!" The others laughed with him after he said that.

"It seems that both parties are unaware of the situations. Need only to be reminded for that," I bravely said and I couldn't stop being overprotective when it came to my best friends. I knew that I would regret my actions and words later but so be it, "It's too early to get detentions!"

Chad was about to retort but Nat stopped him, "Double dorkable is right, It's just the first day. Save the victory for them."

The others whispered as if they were considering my words. Eddy was grunting, probably because of the pain he felt all over his body. I tried to ignore that and tend to him and Ed later. I turned my face to the captain of the team. I was not even sure if he was smirking or not. His expression changed when he faced me and I flinched for the first time. His eyes were showing resentment, like he was trying to convey something to me. That was when I remembered what he said moments ago.

I simply disobeyed that request of staying away and I knew that I would get it.

"Victory you say," Chad huffed and looked at Kevin, "More on we are sparing your lives for a while."

Kevin who was still looking at me, smirked for real before he looked at Eddy behind me, "You'll make our whole new semester fun, for sure. We can have all the time to do that."

Eddy huffed and smirked back, "Be my guest then."

"Eddy!" I scolded him, "Please, stop it. You've done enough!"

"You better listen to your wiser dork here," The other guy to Chad's right said, "Save it for later."

"Whatever they say, guys," Kevin said spreading his arms as he walked backwards. His eyes caught mine and gave a clear warning, "After all, boys just wanna have fun."

The rest snickered while I kneeled there shoulders lumped still protecting Eddy from harm. They started to leave the area. Emerald eyes concentrated on my cerulean ones as he continued walking backwards.

We were left after a few seconds. I was nervous and I noticed that I was for my dear life. I was only able breathe freely which I didn't notice I was holding. Eddy started to move.

"Thank you for the help!" Eddy muttered mockingly.

"You should have done better!" I stood up too only realizing how jelly my knees were. It made me collapse on the ground once again.

"Not like you can..." The shorter Ed said placing a hand to his stomach and made his way to the taller Ed who was starting to move as well.

Taking a deep breath, I ventured myself to stand again and was able to do it this time. Watching the two help each other, I made myself to remember what happened. It was all because of thumb tacks. I could feel a headache approaching me.

"Come on, you two. Time to tend to your wounds." I said as I grabbed my own books and bag that I dropped before I dived myself into the fight. I sincerely apologized to my belongings and promised to fix then later too. As I helped the two to leave the campus to bring them to my dorm, ignoring the stares our schoolmates were giving us, I couldn't help but keep thinking of the expression Keving gave me a while ago.

I could tolerate the others as possible as I could but I was not sure of his'. It only confirmed my suspicions earlier this morning.

Kevin was indeed intimidating.

Done! How was chapter one? It was my first writing a different story so please have mercy. Tell me if I should continue writing this or I'll stop. Anyway, thank you for reading this.

I do not own Nathan or Nat, a popular character c2ndy2c1d ever created for EEnD fandom. The same with Rave which was originally made by Kikakurry. Special thanks for the wonderful creators of two wonderful characters. :)

Possible next chapter: Hey, Dork!
