Social Care chapter 13

Here's another chapter! I'm finally out of school and now I'm wondering if the Eds should be. After all, we haven't had a full chapter in the center since...

Benny: Really? You can't remember the chapter?

Chapter 7. Anyway, I'm wondering if I should continue having the Eds in St. Mary's or begin the summer? Review and say your decision in the comments!


The Eds were happy with winning the quarterfinals game against Lemon Brook. Of course, the team rejoiced and had a small celebration that night. The guys later learned that Double D would become a midfielder and that their next match is in two weeks against Pine Cone Bay.

Eddy laughed and said " Pine Cone Bay? Seriously, who came up with that?"

Double D and Johnny both facepalmed while Ed laughed along with Eddy. Nevertheless, this was a good day for the Eds. After all, things weren't so bad.

The Eds woke up in their rooms and began to get dressed. Double D and Ed were in their normal clothes while Eddy wore a collared shirt with yellow and black quarters and jeans with his regular sneakers.

The trio went to the dining room where everybody else was eating breakfast. Johnny, who was looking mildly tired, was struggling to eat his pancakes and bacon.

Johnny stifled a yawn and said " Morning."

Eddy, Double D and Ed returned with " Morning", " Good morning, Johnny" and " It's morning already?" , respectively.

The trio sat down on the dining room table and picked out what they wanted for breakfast. Eddy had three pancakes with syrup and a few strips of bacon. Double D went light, only having two pancakes and a slice of toast.

Ed, on the other hand, had five pancakes, three eggs, two slices of toast and somehow managed to consume half a pack's worth of cooked bacon. This didn't phase Eddy or Double D, who still looked surprised at the fact.

Eddy said " Man, Ed, I swear your stomach is like a blackhole. No offense."

Johnny only raised an eyebrow at how much Ed ate but since this was a daily thing, it didn't bother him. Everybody was at the table except for Izzy but nobody really paid attention.

Ross came into the dining room, wearing a orange T-shirt and black shorts. He fist-bumped the three Eds and Johnny and smirked.

Ross said " Good job in last night's game, guys. Heard we won by two."

Izzy then came into the room, wearing her red polo shirt and a pair of khaki cargo shorts. She had a smile on her face and went over to the table.

She gave Eddy a bear hug and said " Raptors won! Heard you made a few goals, midget."

Eddy would have rolled his eyes and protested at being called a midget again. But he was calm and he knew that Izzy could do something crazy and deadly to him so he kept his mouth shut.

Izzy then kissed Eddy on the lips, making almost everyone's eyes widen. Eddy's face turned as red as a tomato before it returned to normal. Izzy, on the other hand, stopped kissing Eddy and looked around the room, confused.

Izzy said " What? I can be surprising, you know."

Ross replied " So, ignoring the awkward silence, is anyone up for anything this weekend?"

Johnny said " We could go to the beach."

Double D said " Maybe something that won't involve sunburns and being almost naked?"

Ed said " The park."

Eddy replied " What, like an amusement park?"

Ed nodded and everybody except Double D shrugged. The amusement park didn't seem so bad and on a day like this, maybe they needed some amusement.

The doorbell rang and Ross said " I got it." as he walked to the front door and opened it. A delivery guy was on the steps.

The delivery guy said " Is there a Ed and Eddward here?"

Ed and Double D went to the door to see what they had gotten. The delivery guy gave Double D flowers and a box of chocolate while he gave Ed flowers, a box of chocolate and a bunch of wrapped gifts.

Double D said " Thank you, sir." and closed the door.

Eddy asked " Who's it from, casanovas?"

Ed shrugged and replied " I don't know. The card says G.R."

Double D answered " It says my secret admirer. I'm not sure who that is."

Johnny said " I know who gave Ed's. The presents were one clue but the name is a dead giveaway. It's Glenda Ray."

Eddy said " That seventh grader who kept staring at Ed when we were coming home two weeks ago?"

Johnny nodded while Double D asked " Excuse me, Johnny, but how did you know that?"

Johnny answered " Her initials are GR. Plus, her family has a lot of money. I mean, who else could afford to send Ed a bunch of roses, a box of chocolates and thirteen gifts?"

Ed was eating the chocolates while the guys were staring at the thirteen gifts. Some were large, some were small and some looked unusual. Johnny looked at the card on the bunch of roses.

It read " Dear Ed, I heard you played in last night's game. You did great and I hope you enjoy my gifts. I'll see you soon. Yours truly, G.R."

Johnny said " Yep, it's her for sure."

Ed looked at the boxes and was about to open one but Double D stopped them.

Double D said " Maybe we should open them later? I mean, we don't know exactly what they are. It could be a box of dynamite for all we know."

Eddy replied " Come on, Sockhead. Why would anyone send Ed dynamite? Nobody hates us that much. Except for maybe Kevin but that's not the point."

Johnny said " OK, so let's just hangout until we figure out what we're gonna do for the day."
