Hola amigos!!! Okay, okay, I've never taken Spanish but hey -it's
all good! Anywhoo, I believe the U.S. is at war now so, *sigh* I
believe we could all use a dose of EE&E so here's my contribution!

Disclaimer: I don't own EE&E. Period.

CHAPTER 13: kevin, sunday 10:15 a.m.

I looked at my watch. It read 10:15, was it too early to go see if
Stevie would want to go with Rolf and me to play basketball at the
park?

Jeez... Okay, okay. I had to admit it to myself: I liked Double-
Dork's cousin, Stevie. And what's sad is that this has all happend so
quickly! I mean, I have this immage of being a jock and all, and I
guess that's true for when it comes to sports -but I'm not like that
when it comes to girls... I mean -c'mon now, it takes a while to get to
know them. And I liked this one, sad enough to say.

Ugh.

I looked at my watch, it was 10:17. I sighed and started walking
over to Double-D's house. I just stood there and then rang the
doorbell. "Hello?" Stevie answered... And may I mention, she
looked great. She looked how she did yesterday, except she had
glasses on and, as I later found out, sax neckstrap on. "Oh, hi Kevin,"
she smiled. "Come on in, I'll tell Double-D you're here."

I walked in and said, "Uh... Stevie?"

She turned around, looking confused, "Yeah?"

"Um..." I blushed and thought for a moment. She stared at me,
her eyebrows raised. "Uh..." I kept stuttering! Dang, I don't usually
have this trouble with girls! MAN!

"Kevin?" Stevie stared at me.

"Yes?"

"You were going to say something!"

"No I wasn't."

"Kevin..."

"Okay, okay, I was," I swear my face matched my hat. I took off
my hat and held it... I could tell Stevie's eyes were looking at my hair
which was kinda funky but really my style. Oh well, I continued on.
"Do you like basketball?"

She just started at me and sat down, "Uh... Sure, I like the sport
but I'm really not good at it. Terrible." Stevie then smiled a big smile,
one full of metal. I felt like I was going to melt. Her smile faded as
she stared at me, "Why?"

"Oh b-b-because I w-was," Crud. I was stuttering. Bad. I took
a breath and sat down. "Because I was wondering if you would like to
come to the park with me to play a game with Rolf and me." The sad
thing is, I said it all dang quiet. Really dang quiet.

Stevie smiled again and I swore I could've melted -seriously.
"Oh, well I have to see if Doubl-"

"Why, hello Kevin," Edd came in the garage interupting Stevie.
I swear, he stared at me like I was a pile of garbage sitting on his
couch. Something nasty.

"Um... Edd?" Stevie asked. "Do you have any plans today?"

Double-Dork shrugged in his little, polite manner, "Not that I
believe. Would you mind my asking why?"

Stevie stood up and took off her neckstrap, "Oh, just Kevin
offered to give me a tour of Peach Creek-" WAIT! I didn't offer that!
Oh man, did I give her the wrong impression?!? CRUD! "-and I was
wondering if I could accept."

Edd stared at me, "Sure, if Kevin offered." I forced a smile at
the dork with a sock for a hat and Edd nodded and then went back
out to the garage.

Stevie's eyes followed Edd to the garage and then said, "Um...
I just need to put away my sax and put in my contacts -is that okay?"

I nodded, "Sure." I mean, what else could I say?

On the way up the stairs, she turned around and saw my blank
expression. "Oh by the way," she grinned. "I just used the tour as a
way for my cous not to care -last night he seemed all weird about
everyone liking me," she laughed "Be right back!" And with that she
disappeared up the stairs.

I waited for a few minutes and Stevie came down with what I
assume were her contacts in and ready to go.

"Ready?" I asked as I put on my hat.

She nodded and smiled, "Sure."
