The next day Kevin couldn't stop thinking about Edd. Pictures from the day before were racing through his head, helping him put on his cap, the way the Double D had looked up at him as he touched the scar, the blush the spread across the ravenette's cheeks when Kevin looked him in the eye. These were the thoughts that swirled around in his mind all day long. He knew it was weird to be thinking about Edd that way because well he was Edd! A boy!

Right before his very own eyes, Kevin's life was turning into a lifetime movie where the jock falls in love with the nerdy boy and they suffer through their gayness together.

'Love? Gayness? No no no this is Double D...I can't possibl-'

Kevin's thoughts were interupted when he heard his name being called by his teacher, Mrs. Aldridge. "Kevin! Will you please answer question number 9."

He looked down at his half finished assignment from yestereday, 'Great.' He thought as he realized that he had stopped doing his homework right at number 9. His eyes gazed down at the possible answers and thought about a time that his friend Nat had told him that if he ever didn't know an answer to pick B, apparently it was a statistic that he saw somewhere that B is the letter that is most likely the answer to questions on tests. So with that in mind, Kevin cleared his throat and answered confidently, "B"

Mrs. Aldridge chuckled and looked at Kevin, she always knew that he was a bright kid but he never applied himself, she knew that if he actually did the homework he'd be a smart kid. However, when she called on him today it was no different, he did the same thing he did every day, look up at her, look at the paper, and guessed. She looked at Kevin and with a sigh said,, "No I'm sorry Kevin, that is not correct"

Kevin looked over at his blonde friend, Nazz, sitting next to him and frowned slightly then shrugged. She gave him a dissapointed looked, the redhead knew he would have to deal with her later. Nazz always got pissed when he didn't do his homework and he knew today wouldn't be any different. However, today was different, not in the aspect of him not doing his work, no that would probably never change, but in the aspect of who he was thinking about. Usually he had his weird class time daydreams about girls or pornstars that he had watched the night before. Yeah, today was different, he was thinking about Edd and as much as he tried to stop himself he couldn't keep thoughts like the ones from last night from creeping into his fantasies. Sure it was strange, sure it was a boy, but it was almost like Kevin had some missing link somewhere because when he thought about Double D, it wasn't any different, it felt just like when he thought about other girls and that's the reason why it felt so weird to him. There wasn't any difference.

Suddenly the bell rang, signaling the end of class and the start of the lunch period. As Kevin got out of his seat he felt something hard hit his arm and he looked up to see Nazz standing there with her fists clenched and looking like she could kill him, "Jeez Nazz why did you punch me?!" Kevin yelled at her.

This just seemed to infuriate Nazz more, "You didn't do your homework, you useless meathead!" Nazz turned on her heal and began to walk out of the classroom, but before she got out the door she turned around and looked at Kevin, "Well come on you have some explaining to do!"

With a sigh Kevin slung his books under his arm and walked to where Nazz was waiting for him with a hand on her hip.

"Man, for two people who aren't even in a relationship she's got you whipped." Kevin looked out the doorway to see Nat standing there with a smirk present on his face, "Now will you guys pelase hurry up, if we are the last people outside we won't get a place to sit and everyone knows that only straight up losers sit in the cafeteria. So get the lunches your mommys packed ya and let's get this show on the road."

"Nice to see you too," Kevin mumbled before the three of them began to walk to where Nazz and Kevin's lockers were, and the two grabbed their lunches. Then they rushed outside to get to their favorite spot to eat which was under a large shady oak tree in the courtyard. They knew it was an oak tree because Nat, being the weirdo that he was looked up exactly what kind of tree it was on his phone one day when they were eating out there. Then would not stop calling it "Their Oak Tree," everytime that he talked about it.

They took their seats at the base of the tree and began to eat the lunches they had packed that morning. Before long the peaceful munching was interupted by Nazz saying, "Now Kevin that explaining you had to do, start now."

Nat's ear perked up at this, it was almost as if he liked to see any form of humiliation that Nazz threw at him. What could he say, it was better than cable to watch Kevin get all hot and bothered over the little things that Nazz teased him for. This time it sounded really interesting though so Nat couldn't help but say, "Ohhh explaining? Kevin what'd you do this time?"

Nazz looked at Kevin, "He was daydreaming in class again, but it was different today, he was actually thinking this time. That means he's invested. So he better fess up and tell us who she is."

Kevin blushed, "What do you mean! I wasn't thinking about anyone. Just swim practice last night!"

"Yeah so who were you imagining in their bathing suit?" Nat questioned this time, a little more than jokingly, something that didn't happen very often from his green haired friend.

Kevin sighed, "No one okay. It was just a really weird practice."

Nazz sensed that Kevin was actually really struggling with whatever he was going through and decided to lighten up a bit. "Well if you feel like talking about it I'll be willing to listen, and I'm sure that Nathan would be more than happy considering the busy body he is."

Kevin looked at his two friends and untensed slightly, what was he thinking, of course he should talk to his friends about it. They always know what to do. "Well someone new joined yesterday..."

"Double D!" Nazz interupted.

"Double D?" Nat inquired.

"He was one of our childhood friends...kind of. He was kind of on the outside of the other Cul De Sac kids. He's one of the Eds." Nazz filled him in.

When she mentioned the Eds Nat just nodded his head and said, "Oh." Understanding exactly what she meant by that. That Eds had always been looked down on at Peach Creek High. Mostly because of Eddy's obnoxious behavior and Ed's uexplainable stupidity. Either way no one liked them and it stayed that way.

Kevin interupted their conversation by saying, "Wait Nazz, how did you know that Edd was on the swim team?"

"Oh he dropped by Dick's the other day to pick up some shorts and stuff." Nazz stated nonchalantly.

Nat burst out laughing at this, "You said dicks!" This happened almost everytime that Nazz brought up work. It wasn't her fault she got hired. She knew so much about sports because of Kevin and that made her more qualified than most people applying so it was the only place that would hire her. She hated the fact that she worked there only because everytime she said Dick's, Nat would always have the same reaction, which was laughing.

Nazz groaned and Kevin chuckled slightly and continued, "Okay that makes sense. But anyways, since I'm not actually on the team, Coach has me teaching Edd all of the strokes and stuff. So now I have to hang out with him every night."

Nazz shrugged and took a bite of her sandwich, when she swallowed she said, "So is that a bad thing? Edd's actually really nice."

"Yeah and I guess that's why I find it weird, because I really like being around him. He's just so relaxing to be around unlike half the other people at this school." Kevin said as he looked at the grass.

Nat laughed, "Hey no need to get all depressed about it, just invite him to eat with us tomorrow. I bet he'll be cool. Maybe I'll even talk to him at practice tonight." Nat winked at Kevin.

Kevin's eyes got wide as he understood Nat's implications, "Dude don't hit on him!"

"What? Why not?" Nat asked, as he looked at Kevin face, and realized everything, "Oh hey man it's okay, plenty of other fish in the pool."

Nazz looked back and forth at the two of them, "Wait, what? Am I missing something?"

The two boys looked at each other then back at Nazz, then both said, "No," then realizing that they both spoke at the same time they collapsed into a fit of giggles.

Kevin had forgot how good it was to be around his friends. They always took his mind off of the weird things that he didn't really want to think about and made him feel so much better. He didn't know where'd he be without Nazz and Nat. Being around him made Kevin realize exactly what he had to do about his Edd situation.
