It's me again, Double D. I want to talk to you about Eddy again. His behavior has slightly improved, but his bad nature still grates my nerves.

The day of the free jawbreakers, I did see some good in him. If he hadn't given Ed and me the heads up, we never would have known about the whole thing, and he made sure we got to the store. That part did show me something, but his bright side was all downhill from there. Also, when he stole Sarah's money, he did acknowledge that she needed to be paid back, but then tried to keep the money for himself.

I forgot to tell you about how incredibly nasty he treats Ed. When he wanted to be a monster and made a monstrosity of the cul-de-sac and almost badly hurt the other kids, Eddy just laughed and let it happen while I tried to restrain him. From that scam earlier, he tried to hit Ed with a fake hammer while he was popping his head through holes for an arcade game.

Today, I saw possibly the worst behavior from him I have seen yet. While Jimmy, Sarah and I were playing a game of Scrabble at my house, he came in with a printer and yelled to me, "Double D, you little lazy bone, we gotta do a scam with this printer and a computer monitor!" I told him I was busy playing Scrabble with Jimmy and Sarah. He then, in the most arrogant voice possible, said "Scrabble is for wimps! This scam is much better," and then he tipped the board, spilling the tiles all over the place and dragged me out. How could he do that? Scrabble is my favorite board game in the world and if he calls anyone who loves to play it a wimp, he'd better have second thoughts.

There is a new girl from just outside the cul-de-sac who moved in shortly after I last talked to you. She's about my age. Whenever there's Eddy problems, I turn to her for advice. She is almost exactly like me; not violent, always reasonable, very smart and extremely easy to get along with. When she moved in, we became friends almost immediately. She said the others, especially Eddy, seemed a little out of it to be her friend right away. Once, she told Eddy's parents about another ridiculous scam of his and he got in serious trouble. Don't take this hard. I'll still talk to you when there's difficulty.

Frightening, isn't it? I think Eddy might have a learning disability because he's so stubborn about his bad behavior. His nature was so much better back in the early days of 1999. When did it take a turn in the road?

Again, thanks for listening to me. I'll tell you a lot more about what's going on in life. I'll tell you before I tell anyone else, including the new girl who I'll tell you a lot more about next time.

Sincerely,

Edd, AKA: Double D
