1 hour later . . (3:05am)
10 minutes after (3:15am) *for confusion purposes*
*Come in, Princ'.*
*I'm here. Over* The principal responded over the walkie talkie..
*Is it time to turn off all of the lights except the hallway lights? Over.*
*Yes, and I see that the basement light is on as well. No one is in there so turn that off too. No need to waste more electricity than we need to.*
*Roger, copy that. BLACK OUT BOYS! Over* The radio went to static.
"That should do the trick so I wouldn't have to pay more than last year's senior grad night. Hopefully the janitor locked that door the night before like I asked him to and no one is stuck down there." The principal then put the walkie talkie back on its charger and headed back to the house across the street. All of the teachers rented the house a little ways down the street just in case of an emergency. 'Precautionary measures are always a must when a school activity is in progress' is what the principal would answer if you ask.
There were two security guards guarding the school as well. One was patrolling the back of the school for inside and outside intruders coming in or out. The other was patrolling the front; same reason as the back guard.
Even though the principal thought they were making expenses, little did they know was that there are 3 people stuck in that basement.
5 minutes later . .
"Ha ha ha I can't breathe. Wait tell me what you said again!"
"All I said was 'Sextant'" Edd said. Blushing as he began repositioning himself on the couch in the middle of the basement room. It wasn't an old couch, maybe about one year old. It was comfortable to say three people were sitting on it. On his left was Wolfe, for whom was just laughing. On his right was Kevin, who begrudgingly came after 30 minutes of Edd and Wolfe sitting down on the couch telling stories.
"Yea I remember that" Kevin said in between laughs. "It was on the bus home, after you and the other dorks had beat up Eddy's brother." He started reminiscing on the old days when everyone was so young and clueless to the world they were living in. No one ever knew this is where they would end up. Sitting on a couch in a locked basement while everyone else is having the rest of the best time of their high school life.
"Now that I think about it. I wonder what the May, Marie, and Lee did to him after we left." Edd pondered. He slightly noticed the movement on his left.
"Those Kankers?" Kevin interrupted. He noticed the movement too, but didn't comment on it. "Hell probably f-"
"Don't say such a thing, Kevin. I do hope that they didn't do such heinous actions." Edd interrupted. "Can we change the subject please?" Sensing that Kevin would argue him down.
"Ok, Kevin what sports you play?" Wolfe asked not wanting to make Edd mad.
"I used to play football my junior year here, what about you?" He didn't have much to talk about it since he left mid school year.
"Basketball all school year long." Wolfe answered. "We went against PCHS this year, it was the game of the year. I'm not going to lie, we put up a fight but you guys won. There was no beef afterwards. I threw a party at my house after the game to show our appreciation. I tried to get Edd here to come but -"
"I told you I was working on a project, but yes I was at the game. I believe the score was 98 for LBHS, and 97 for PCHS. It was Matt who scored the buzzer beater to get us to 99. I forgot he was the captain of the basketball team. And you were co captain I believe?" Wolfe nodded in agreement. "Ah, yes. That's probably how you guys became friends from the party. Makes sense now." Edd smiled at his detective skills.
"Yes, and no." Wolfe said. That made Edd grimace that he was merely incorrect. "We've been known each other since we were in elementary."
"Oh, well alright then. I was close" Edd giggled at his misfortune.
"Just a little" Wolfe joked back.
"Fuck, I wish I was here to see-" Kevin said but was interrupted by the sound of power cutting off.
The lights went off.
"AAAHHHHH" Edd tried to yell the most manliest scream he could muster.
"Is a girl in here or something? Damn.." Kevin retorted while trying to putting his index fingers in is ears. Wolfe just laughed at it all not knowing how dire the situation is beginning to become. Luckily, while Kevin was playing around with things around the room he found a battery-powered lamp.
"I found this lamp earlier so we're good. I don't know how to turn it on though." Kevin kept flipping the switch in annoyance as to why it wasn't working.
"Maybe it needs new batteries" Edd tried after being humiliated from his terrified scream. If only he had quicker reflexes like Kevin and Wolfe. They noticed as soon as it took place and made no movement of fear. 'Maybe they were used to it somehow.'
"Yea, check and see if there are batteries in it." Wolfe assisted. When they checked that there were batteries in there and seen if it was in correctly, it still didn't turn on. While they were hitting it on the couch, 'like every other person to fix a solution' Edd thought, Edd was looking for more batteries in the very dim room. The only source of light was an old cracked computer monitor blinking on and off from time to time. Only one portion (the bottom left) of the monitor was lit up.
"Ah, found some. Of course they were by the old computer technology." Edd praised. Unknown to him, there were two pair of eyes on something while he was bent over getting the batteries. When he turned around to show them what he retrieved they both quickly reverted their eyes to something else. Kevin on the lamp who thought was the most interesting thing in the room, and Wolfe at the wall who thought it was the most sexiest wall he ever seen.
Edd gave Kevin the batteries, and Kevin put them in. After a few seconds of patience, the room was lit up. It wasn't a lot of light, but it was enough to see the full couch length. Like a scary movie, the only visible thing is the couch and everything else is dark. All it needed was a serial killer and some spooky music.
"I guess the lights went off everywhere where they didn't need them since the princ' think no one is in the basement." Wolfe applied. He sat back down on his side of the couch. The others followed suit. Wolfe scooted a little closer to Edd than Kevin was. Kevin and Edd had forearm distance between them, but Wolfe was thigh to thigh close. Making it unintentionally, Wolfe spoke up before Edd could say anything.
"Lets play a game." He suggested. Edd looked like he was about to hide under his beanie, but Wolfe caught his hand. "I won't take no for an answer." He looked directly into Edd's eyes, and Edd just blushed under the tension. "You too, Kevin."
"Aight, I'll play." Kevin rolled his eyes at the scene.
They all gathered in front of the couch and sat as a triangle. The lamp was in the middle of them for light. Think of an equilateral triangle. Eddward was the top, Wolfe was bottom left, and Kevin was bottom right.
"Let's get started then, shall we?" Wolfe suggested, clasping his hands together. Menace themes were practically popping out of his head.
"Oh dear.." Double Dee knew he was always pressured to do something if they knew how to push his buttons. He sensed something dreadful occuring in the future.
"Edd, boo" Edd blushed at Wolfe's name calling but responded nonetheless, "Truth or Dare?"
Eddy and Nazz finally woke up at people talking about some of the lights were cut off. They went to find Ed and sought him out still at the pool. He was with some girl Eddy never met. Nazz recognized her when she shown her face out of the water. It was the sister of one of her cheermates.
"Hey Sophie!" Nazz exclaimed with her perky voice. Her nap hair all over the place. Eddy just went and sat down on one of the long chairs close to them, still a bit sleepy.
Sophie turned around at the voice of someone calling her and spotted Nazz rushing over to her and Ed. "Hi Nazz! Where have you been all night?" Sophie smiled in Ed's arms.
"Around.. Seems like I am not the only one who has a new boo?" Nazz smirked, winking at her and Ed. Ed just blushed a little and went to go sit with Eddy.
"Yea it kinda happened a while ago. So it's still fresh." Sophie said looking at Ed as he goes over to Eddy. "He told me a lot about his friends, but I've already known you so, yea.."
Nazz gave her smile; "Who would've known it would be the 'Ed Boys' that we would get together with." She then looked over at the boys as well. Her heart fluttered when she saw Eddy mouth the name Nazz. "Let me go get changed.. I want to join you in the pool. Looks like Big Ed is taking a break from the pool hehe.." Laughing at Ed lounging happily on the chair beside Eddy.
"Ok, cya then." Sophie replied as Nazz was getting up to go to the girl's bathroom.
Once Nazz went into the bathroom she spotted some of her cheer squad. "Hey ladies, going for a swim too?"
"Speak of the devil. Hey Nazz, how's your new boy toy?" one of the cheerleaders asked, grimacing all the while. Her name was Jessica if Nazz remembered correctly. She was captain and Nazz was co-captain. If only Nazz hadn't messed up a split second on routine try-outs, she would have gotten captain.
"Uhm, my boy toy?" Nazz countered, seemingly confused. She noticed Amber, on Jessica's left (Nazz's view) and Helena, on Jessica's right (Nazz's view), were laughing at the antics.
"I'm talking about that lame kid who everyone hated. What's his name? Ethan? Earl? OH EDDY!" Jessica blurted out laughing.
Nazz knew Jessica never liked her, and honestly she thought she wouldn't have been a problem tonight but this building isn't big afterall. "Eddy is not lame. He is sweet and caring. Of course you wouldn't know since Jacob broke up with you last year after that fight." Yea, Jacob was the one Kevin beat up last year. No one knows why he broke up with her but she was clearly on edge ever since.
"Girl, I don't know who you think you are but you need to calm down." Jessica retorted wenom laced in her words.
"What's going on in here?" Sophie asked. Confusion and anger in her eyes. Obviously she heard noise coming from the bathroom when she was walking to it.
"Who do you think you are? Coming in here all high and mighty. I don't want to have to put you in your place. Your sister and I are best friends, so I don't want to disrespect her, but I wouldn't hesitate to." Jessica hissed. When she stepped towards Sophie, the bathroom door opened. In came Sophie's sister.
"I don't know what's going on, but it seems like you're yelling at my little sister." Ava announced as she walked inside of the bathroom. "I just came in here to use the restroom and I stumble upon this? This is our last night as seniors, we most likely won't see each other tomorrow. So let's just lay back and forget everyone tonight." She went in between Sophie and Jessica and stared Jessica down. Waiting for her to do something.
Jessica proceeded to move backwards. "Fine, you're lucky this might be the last time I see you. Let's go girls."
Once Jessica and crew left, Nazz told them what happened. Apparently they were talking about Eddy and Nazz for being a thing now. Even though it only started a few hours ago, word travels fast on school grounds.
"Wait, so it is true? You and Eddy? Oh 'Em Gee." Ava said. "You're going out with Eddy, my sister is talking to Ed, I wonder who's going to claim the smart Edd." She started fangirling at it all.
"He he, yea. It's a thing now." Nazz smiled at her. Glee clearly showing in her posture. "Well, let me get dressed. I'll be out in a minute."
"Alright." Sophie and Ava replied. They walked out, Sophie heading back to the pool and Ava went inside talking about food.
Once Nazz was done getting into the swimwear she went and looked for Sophie. Sophie was back in the pool by herself. No sign of Ed, Eddy, or Ava.
"Hey, where is everyone?" Nazz said while putting her feet first in the water; testing the water.
"I don't know where the boys went, but Ava said she wasn't going to the cafeteria cause she was hungry." Sophie replied.
Nazz shook it off and dipped slowly in the cool pool. 'This place reeks of chlorine' she thought.
"Have you ever kissed the same sex before?"
"Yes, sadly that was Kevin's doing in our younger childhood days."
"Oh My Gawd." Wolfe wheezed. This is the best night of his life. Getting to know dirty little secret about his crush.
Kevin chuckled; remembering the incident like it was yesterday. He found Skipper's wallet one day and he couldn't help myself to torment Eddy.
"Yes yes, I know. It's quite embarrassing. Now Kevin… Truth or Dare?" Ed asked Kevin as he turned towards him.
"Hmm, Dare.." Kevin challenged.
"I dare you too.." He pondered for a moment. "Speak in a foreign accent for the rest of the game."
"Well I am part Irish, mate." Kevin imitated. That in which causing Edd to smile. Wolfe noticed that.
"Ok Wolfe. Truth or Dare?" Kevin challenged.
"Dare. I'm not a pussy." Double Dee flinched at his word choice.
"I dare you to act like a dog and get petted by Double Dork." Kevin dared. Wolfe obviously complied.
He got on all fours and crawled towards Edd. Edd giggled with his hand over his mouth at this child's play.
"Woof!" Wolfe mimicked. Edd complied and patted his curly faux hawk. 'His hair must be naturally curly from his mixed genes' Edd thought. The whole scenario made Edd blush.
"Okay, Edd Truth or Dare?" Wolfe asked after he got petted.
"Truth" Edd answered.
"You've only done mostly truths. Do a dare this time." Wolfe analyzed.
"Fine dare.." He knew he was going to regret this. He's been regretting too much tonight.
"I dare you to… Kiss me."
"To do what?" Edd never had his first kiss yet. Let alone with the same sex. He noticed Wolfe slowly moving towards him.
"What the fuck?" Kevin blurted out. A tinge of jealousy seething through every word.
"This is your first real kiss right? Let it be with someone you like." Wolfe suggested. He was eager to kiss Double Dee tonight.
"Y - yea, it is. I suppose a dare is a dare. Although, I do hope this is merely for the game and I don't condone in such actions lightly." The skinnier of the three said. He started leaning towards Wolfe as so was Wolfe.
When their lips touched, it felt like heaven. For Edd, he never experienced this sensation before, therefore he started reacting in a way most people usually react when kissing. For Wolfe, he experienced this before so he contained himself, although his tongue slipped through Edd's lips. For Kevin, physically he was playing cool, but mentally he was freaking out. He didn't know why but he was feeling so jealous of Wolfe for kissing that dork.
Edd was the first to pull away, but Wolfe wasn't having it. He went back in, causing Edd to fall backwards and Wolfe leaning over him. Edd knew this was starting to get out of hand, but he was getting 'lost in the sauce' as Eddy would put it. "Mmm.. Wolfe" he moaned.
"Alright Wolfe, that's enough. The dare is over." Kevin told Wolfe as he pulled him away. "I don't even want to play anymore after that." Disgust clearly in his voice instead of his Irish tone.
"Damn, Edd. You taste good." On that note, Kevin dropped him. "Ouch bruh." Wolfe rubbed his arm that he fell on.
Kevin went back towards his side of the room, clearly mad at Wolfe, but Edd didn't know why. He was still in bliss of the kiss.
"You didn't have to drop me so hard dude." Wolfe yelled at Kevin. For the hundredth time in that basement, those two were arguing. "I could have broken my arm!"
"Oh boo hoo." Kevin mocked. "Shut the fuck up and quit being childish. You're supposed to be an adult now"
"Says the one who got suspended for a whole year. Yeah, I heard all about you." Wolfe was already on his feet. Ready to fight.
"Why you little piece of shit!" Kevin threw the first punch. Hitting Wolfe square on his right jaw. 'That felt good' Kevin thought.
Wolfe quickly retaliated and punched Kevin on his left jaw. Punches were immediately thrown after that. Wolfe tackled Kevin to the couch and began straddling him. Both of their backs towards Double Dee. Kevin used his strength to push Wolfe off with his legs. Kevin then took the opportunity to straddle him instead. Edd tried to break it up and put his hand on Kevin's right arm.
Kevin, being a quick retaliator, swung behind him. Not knowing who it was, he turned around to see that dork holding his nose with red liquid in between his fingers. Wolfe seen it all happen and pushed Kevin off of him since he was paying attention and went to Edd.
"Oh fuck.." was all Kevin could say.
"Edd? Is your nose bleeding? Hold on I'll find a towel or something." Wolfe told Edd as he sat him down on the couch. Giving Kevin a disgusted look, he went to look for a towel or some sort.
"Fuck, double dork.. I didn't mean to.." Kevin tried but Edd just shushed him.
"It's quite alright Kevin.. I shouldn't have intervened." Edd apologized.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing." Kevin said. He seen that Wolfe was looking at them so he thought that it was his queue to to leave Edd alone.
"Here use this old rag. I know it's a little dirty, but this is the best one I can find. And hey, better than using your hand." Wolfe said as he walked back to Edd.
"Thanks Wolfe.. I greatly appre-" Edd was interrupted by the sound of a metal door opening.
"HELLO? DOUBLE DEE?!"
"Big Ed? Is that you?" Wolfe asked the sound.
"No.. Maybe.." Ed answered. He didn't know if the aliens abducted Edd and the others or not. He couldn't trust anyone.
"ED!" Double Dee rushed towards the taller male. He gave the other a hug and thanked him for getting them out of the basement.
"What happened to you Dee?" Ed asked curiosity shown all over his face. He searched for anything else wrong with Edd but confirmed that he was quite alright besides a bloody nose.
"Hurry up before someone sees us!" Eddy all but yelled.
"Well hello to you too Eddy. May I ask how did you find us?" Edd asked as he walked past Eddy with Wolfe on his tail and Kevin behind everyone.
"We'll talk after we get you cleaned up." Eddy answered.
Once the trio went to the bathroom, Wolfe finding Matt to tell him what happened, and Kevin wandering off somewhere, Edd told them everything that happened.
"Wait, so shovel chin did this to you?" Eddy was already filled with anger as soon as he heard the name Kevin. Childhood hatred doesn't leave as fast as grudges.
"Double Deeeee!" Ed whined in joy. "I knew something was wrong all this time, we were missing our most beloved smarty pants." He went to hug Edd and squeezed the life out of the poor kid.
"Ed, I - I can't breathe." Edd was gasping for air when Ed apologized and put him down. He then put the moist towel back on his nose and asked if they can leave the bathroom now. "Wait, before we go.." He was hesitating "You guys don't mind that I am attracted to the same sex?"
"No dude, all is well." Eddy said in a heartbeat. He then wrapped his arm around Double Dee's shoulder.
"Yea, as long as you don't forget about us mister man." Ed cheeked his way on the other side of Double Dee and patted him on the back. All of it in return made Edd smile widely to know that he hasn't lost his friends.
As they were walking out Eddy said, "Just don't hit on me". That made everyone laugh.
The remainder of the night passed with a breeze. Wolfe caught back up to the gang, Kevin was still nowhere to be found, neither was Nat. Everyone went back to the pool to let Edd have a chance to swim and to catch back up with Nazz and Sophie, all laughter and games played, then after they danced and hung out in the cafeteria until the door were unlocked.
"Alright everyone. It is 8 o'clock in the morning. Grad Night is over! I hope everyone was safe and had a blast! Your phones are organized by classes!" The principal announced with a megaphone. With that, the teachers lined up and gave each and every person their appropriate phone.
The phones were organized in zip bags. Each person was given a zip lock bag at the door earlier and put their name on the bad and dropped their phone in it. Once they gave the teachers their phone, the bags were distinguished to classes. Whichever class you were in with, your phone was in that box.
As soon as the teachers pulled out the boxes, students jump in line. It took a good half an hour for the group to get their phones. When the trio got their phones, Eddy asked Edd; "Can me and Ed stay at your house all summer until we go off to college?"
"It's Ed and I, Eddy." Edd correct him. "Even so, that will be quite alright if you want. I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind me having friends, whom they know a lot, staying over with me."
They got back into Eddy's car, Nazz riding along taking the passenger seat, and went to the Cul-De-Sac. Two minutes into the car ride, Edd remembered that He, Ed and Eddy left their stuff in the trunk. Nazz was dropped off first. When she got out the car, she went towards Eddy's window and motioned for him to wind the window down. When he rolled the window down, she leaned in and gave him a goodbye kiss. When she said her goodbyes to everyone else, Eddy was still looking at the space Nazz was just present at.
"Uhm, Eddy? She went inside." Ed laughed. That in which made Eddy realized that he was staring at the air. It wasn't like they were in a rush. Their houses were feet away.
Ed and Double Dee just got out of the car and walked to their homes. Not before Double Dee reminding them to get their unattended luggage out of the trunk. Eddy parked his car in his driveway and went inside to go get his whole wardrobe. Big Ed did the latter as well.
"Feels good to be back in the comfort of my own home." Edd said as he took off his shoes. He went upstairs, and straight to his room to go get some fresh clothes. Once he got his clothes out of the closet and drawer, he went straight to the bathroom. Brushed his teeth, Took a nice long hot shower, and went in the kitchen to get something to eat.
As he was taking out his left-over, his phone rang once. It was a text message from Wolfe.
'Hey boo.' -Wolfe
'Hello Wolfe. How are you?' -Edd He blushed at the name calling.
'Tired really. What about u?' -Wolfe
'Tired as well.' -Edd; He replied after he heating up his food in the microwave. His left-overs were shrimp fettuccine, half of bread toast, and a salad. Of course the salad wasn't in the microwave.
'Wyd?' -Wolfe
'Pardon?' -Edd; He grabbed a plastic fork from the utensils drawer and munch on the salad until the food is done.
'It means 'what are u doing?' lmao' -Wolfe
'Oh, well I am about to eat. What are you doing?' -Edd
*BEEP BEEP*
'I am about to take a nap.' -Wolfe
'Oh, sleep well.' -Edd
'Oh I will. Gonna sleep thinking about you ;)' -Wolfe
Edd was blushing furiously; not knowing what to text after that. He tried to go for some more salad, but felt that there wasn't any left. "Oh, I must have eaten it all by mistake."
'Lol i'm just playing' -Wolfe; "Maybe" Wolfe said as he was laying on his bed after taking a shower.
He pondered if he should ask Edd a certain question since they've been talking all Grad Night. He knew Edd liked him back but was still cautious as to time it out.
*vibrate*
'Oh goodness. You think you have jokes.' -Edd
'Lmao, soo I gotta question to ask. You know we been hanging out lately. We were basically side by side all Grad Night and I am pretty sure you know that I like you, a lot..' -Wolfe
"Oh dear." Edd was speechless, he knew what Wolfe was about to ask considering the circumstances. Also, he was right about them hanging out a lot lately.
'So like, do you want to be my boyfriend?' -Wolfe
Edd read the message on the notification list but never opened it. He decided to leave Wolfe on delivered to figure things out. By the time Edd left the phone conversation, his food was cold. It was okay because he wasn't hungry anymore. His heart was racing at 50 miles per hour. He cleaned up his mess in the kitchen, then went back upstairs to his room.
Looking at his clock, he sees that it is 11am. He had a lot on his mind, so he decided to turn his phone on silent, and watch a short film on marine life. After the 2 hour documentary was over, he noticed that he had a text. It was from Wolfe 1 hour ago.
'I didn't mean to rush u or anything, but we've known each other for a while. I know that you've been thinking about that kiss a couple hours ago too. You kissed me back so u can't say that u don't like me back. But imma go take my nap. Please think about it' -Wolfe
Edd kept rereading the second sentence knowing it was true. That's all he was thinking about every time he sees the male and his mate together.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
'Is that Wolfe?' He went over to the door and looked through the peephole. "Oh it's Ed and Eddy." He opened the door and greeted them as so.
"Hey Dee, we could've been here earlier, but Sarah and Jimmy wanted Eddy to take them to the store and want make me do the heavy lifting for her summer project." Ed said as took off his shoes, Eddy doing the same, and carried his and Eddy's luggage inside.
"Your sister is a handful. I can't see how she is still loud and obnoxious after all these years." Eddy blabbered clearly angry for not relaxing after Grad Night. He went straight for the couch and rest his head on the pillow.
"Well I am glad you guys are here. I was getting a bit bored with nothing to do." Edd said noticing how mad Eddy was.
Ed busied himself with hooking up his playstation 4 in the living room TV. Eddy was watching him, but quickly fell asleep. Double Dee went to make a snack for Ed since he knew he would be starving after all he went through before he got there. Buttered toast and scrambled eggs.
After the game system was set up and Ed eating, Double Dee went upstairs to get some blankets for Ed and Eddy. He looked out his window just in time to see Kevin and Nat getting out of Nat's car. Edd could see that Kevin glanced at Edd's house but quickly reverted his eyes. They were talking about something, but Edd couldn't comprehend the lip movement from far away. He went back to his phone in his pocket and replied to Wolfe's text.
'I understand where you are coming from. Yes I did kiss back. I do like you, and that was my first real kiss. I will be your boyfriend, but do we have to "tell the world" or can we just keep it to our friends? Kevin didn't look too happy today.'
'I am so happy right now, I don't mind it all. I couldn't even go to sleep cause u weren't texting back. I thought I scared you away for good. I never went this far with you. :) :) :) Ok I'm very sleepy right now. Talk to ya later.' -Wolfe
Edd never had a boyfriend, so he was a bit scared. His heart was racing again today. So much has happened today his energy was drained. He went back downstairs to see Ed playing a zombie online world game. Ed had the full setup, a mic, controller, ps plus, etc. About 20 minutes into Ed playing the game, Edd felt his eyes close. He was soon asleep on the pull-out chair left of the couch.
