I couldn't believe Renee invited Kevin without telling me! I glared at her I know she could feel it.
"Edd it'd be nice if you didn't burn holes in the back of my head."
"I wouldn't have to if you told me you were inviting him!"
She just started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Edd would you have said yes if I did."
I know she is right but I hate when she is.
As we got to the pools we were the first to arrive as always. Plank and I went into the guy's locker room and changed while Renee and Bekah went to the girls.
As I walked out of the locker room I walked over to the water and dove in. Being in the water it was surreal I felt safe. Renee joined me she sank to the bottom of the pool as I floated on the surface. I heard Bekah laughing.
"I swear as soon as you both see a mass of water big enough you both dive in."
Just as I was about to say something Renee surfaced and began floating. Soon the other campers came to the pool we both knew we'd have to get out and start watching them run drills. It was going to be a long practice.
As we got out Renee went over the drills that they all needed to work on. I despise watching when I could be in the water. We watched for two whole hours of people swimming horribly as potential captains stood there getting mad at them we saw some show by example, few who did hands on help for positioning those Renee marked down who did what and who didn't do anything. Then we saw Amber push in someone because they made a mistake.
"Hey! Amber what in the world are you doing?!"
The girl turned to us a shrugged at us like she didn't know what she just did was wrong. Problem was the girl had not surfaced. Before anyone could react Renee was already in the water it all happened so fast luckily Renee saved her but Ambers face after she got ahold of her now that was another story. They cut the practice early today.
As we were walking back to the cabin with Bekah yelling at Renee about punching Amber in the face the whole way with her. I watched her turn to Bekah.
"Bekah I didn't think at all and I'm sorry but she has no right pushing anyone in the pool because she got a stroke wrong I don't care how badly she is here to help them and prove she'd be a good captain."
Bekah knew she was right just wasn't happy on how she handled it. As we walked up to the cabin I froze Kevin was in there and I forgot he was I know Renee invited him for one reason but still I didn't want thing to happen too fast. Renee pushed me aside and walked in yelling at Sam about grape juice I followed her in.
Kevin was laughing and having a good time with mine and Renee's friends. I couldn't help but smirk at the sight of my pumpkin smiling and having a good time. Kevin turned and looked right at me I couldn't help but blush ugh he irritates me. I walked away and entered my own room. Renee came in not even caring if I was changing or not.
"Hey Edd are you okay?"
"Yeah Renee I'm fine just annoyed."
"Look dude I understand you aren't exactly out yet everyone just believes you chose to come up here, I'd say you are jealous of him dude."
I ended up punching Renee hard enough I was going to get an ear full but she never gets mad at me god I hate when I hit her. When she walked out of the room everyone saw her face and what I did. I heard my name shouted. Then Renee told them it's fine I pushed him too far.
I quickly changed and walked out of my room I was greeted by Sammy I don't know who's worse out of them all.
"Edd you ass you need to stop hitting people when you get pissy!"
I let her yell at me until Renee said something.
"Sammy I said leave him alone its fine I'm not hurt just drop it."
"Well what did you do this time Renee."
"Sam drop it for now I'll tell you later."
"Fine, but if he hits you again I'll kick his ass."
I rolled my eyes at her then I heard Kevin laugh I looked at Renee.
"Edd how about we go get ready for the end of the summer bon fire."
"Alright let's go."
We walked down to the fire pit and began setting up.
-Kevin POV-
As soon as Edd, Renee, Bekah, and Plank left for swim practice I was left alone with Renee and Edd's friends I at least had Nat and Nazz.
Everyone was laughing and getting to know each other better. Renae was quiet just like Plank no wonder they are both good for each other. Sammy is loud and very in your face just like Nat. I was happy that everyone was getting along.
"So Kevin you ready for school to start again?"
"Yeah Sam I am happy that it's our last year of school."
"That's good dude, Hey Renae do you know if Renee and Edd are going to the college as well?"
"Yeah but for the last part of the day."
I looked at them as they went on about their classes that they were taking.
"Renae did you here Patrick transferred schools because he wants to be at the top of his class."
"Really where is he going now?"
"I'm not sure but I'm so happy he won't be there he was such a pain and he always picked a fight with us."
I looked at Nat.
"Hey dude so what does your classes look like?"
"Oh um I have drama first then math English science pe then study hall Nazz what about you?"
"I have art math science chorus English study hall, Kevin what about yourself?"
"My first class is to be announced I mean I have a room number and a teacher but no class title then I have a few ap classes then study hall for my last class, What about you Marie?"
"Oh mostly art classes Edd helped me get ahead so I can hang out in the art room most of the day."
Sammy and Renae were going on about their own classes and complained about teachers that they knew they had. So Sammy pull out a dvd and we all watched movies until they all got back.
Renae sat up and checked her phone.
"Oh hey guys they are coming back early practice ended early."
We all just nodded our head about the matter. When they all walked in Renee yelling at Sammy to get out the grape juice Sammy flipped her off and I couldn't help but laugh. I noticed Edd turned away and walked to his what I guess room with Renee following after. We all heard a smacking sound and soon Renee emerged from Edd's room with a red mark on her face. Sammy and Bekah flipped out about it when Renee stopped them.
"Guy's its fine I took something too far it's my fault don't worry about it okay and leave him alone about it."
Soon Sammy got up right as Edd walked out of his room and she went off.
"Edd you ass you need to stop hitting people when you get pissy!"
I watched her yell at him until Renee said something.
"Sammy I said leave him alone its fine I'm not hurt just drop it."
"Well what did you do this time Renee."
"Sam drop it for now I'll tell you later."
"Fine, but if he hits you again I'll kick his ass."
I saw Edd roll his eyes and I couldn't help but laugh the way he acted was unlike him at school.
Then Renee spoke up again.
"Edd how about we go get ready for the end of the summer bon fire."
"Alright let's go."
We all watched them go once they walked away Sammy went off.
"I can't believe that shit still happens Renee got her anger issues under control why can't he!"
I was shocked then Bekah spoke up.
"Sammy if she says she is fine she's fine I mean they did grow up together and I've seen her and him in a fist fight more than once I just let them fight and they both always work things out sometimes it's good for them to fight and they both cross the lines on each other all the time."
"I understand Bekah but they both need to stop punching each other I yell them both about it and they both play it off as it's nothing."
"I agree but it's how they solve things and I mean they don't fight as much as they use to."
I was surprised by what they were saying that when they fight just let them be like it was a normal thing.
"Um how bad was it?"
Sammy didn't hold back.
"Dude like almost every day at one point it was nonstop then Edd had the accident that none of us know about not even Bekah I think or did she tell you."
Bekah shook her head no.
"Anyways Renee and him were dating but then the accident happened we didn't see Renee for the first half of the school year she stayed with Edd to make sure he was okay that was our eight grade and that was also the year Bekah came to our town."
"I remember that Edd was gone for a while but nobody knew why everyone asked the other eds but they didn't talk about it in fact after that all three of them stopped hanging out when he came back to school I mean something was off about him and he started being well an ass and only hung out with Plank Johnny and Jimmy."
Plank looked up
"Only reason was because I was one of the few who chose to still talk to him everyone just ignored him besides us."
I hung my head down I knew he was right everyone did so I guess what ever happened back then must have been bad enough to make him like this nobody talking to him didn't help even more.
I remember the day he came back to school.
It was just after winter break when he showed up out of nowhere everyone avoided him because he felt darker. Eddy walked up and tried to talk to him. Edd just walked away and nobody knew why or what had happened. Weeks went by and nobody really saw Edd in normal classes just in the computer lab doing who knows what. Gym class was the only class I shared with him we were doing swimming for the month Edd was great and the fastest swimmer. Everyone was more scared of Edd when he started hanging out with Plank just nobody knew much about Plank. I couldn't help but stare at Edd just something about him. Then I told Nat and Nazz that I was gay and someone over heard me telling them and it spread like wild fire. The bulling got worse and Edd was evil to me about it, I never understood why nobody did.
"Oh hey guys it's time for the bon fire let's head down!"
We all walked down to where the camp fire was tomorrow was I was exicted to see what those two have done. When we walked up to the bone fire and it was huge and Edd and Renee were laughing while everyone was freaking out on how big the fire was.
Everyone but Nat and I looked like it was a normal thing.
"Man I don't get why they trust them with setting up every year they know they are going to make it huge."
I looked at Renae and Plank who looked at each other and smiled. Bekah walked over and wrapped her arms around Renee then we all sat around the fire. I listened to everyone laugh and joke around. Renee and Edd got into something and they ended up arguing over something and everyone just laughed at them because they fought like brother and sister. Nat threw his arm around me he was laughing so hard. I wanted Edd more but I'm scared to do anything about it.
As the night went on many laughs and cheesy ghost stories were shared Renee and Edd stopped fighting soon the party was coming to an end and we all went to bed. Tomorrow is the big swim test for everyone all the coaches from different schools are coming to see everyone.
As we all got back to the cabin we all said our good nights and went to bed. I ended up just staying up and I got in the hot tub to relax. As I started to relax Edd came into the hot tub and joined me. I felt my face getting red and heard him laughing.
"So pumpkin enjoying the view."
I hate when he does this. I swear he knows my feelings or something. He has this smirk on his face but I can't help but look into his ice blue eyes that hold so much mystery. Ugh I hate my brain sometimes.
"Pumpkin I asked you a question are you going to answer me?"
"Yes Edd."
The look of shock on his face made me smile even more. He soon just rested his head back.
"So what has she told you."
"Umm that you guys have the same birthday, how your parents met, and some things from when you guys were kids."
"Anything else?"
"No that's about it."
"Want to know anything about her?"
"I guess whatever you want to tell me about her."
"She's a free spirt I mean she does what she wants her parents were cool with her and I being ourselves encouraged almost everything and even if they didn't like it they tried to understand it. Renee is strong headed she'll fight the good fight if it's something she cares about believe me a big reason we fight is because of me."
"You guys fight a lot but that's good it means you have a good friendship where you guys can tell each other things and your open with each other."
He just smiled at me and started to get out of the hot tub.
"Well good night Kevin I think you should go to bed soon we have to wake up early tomorrow."
He's never called me Kevin my face must be blood shot red. As I watched him go back into the cabin I slowly followed. When I got to my room I changed into my gym shorts and t-shirt and crawled into bed. I'm happy Renee invited us because now I'm a little closer to Edd.
The next morning everyone was awake and packing up all of their things. It was all of their last year at camp I listened as they shared memories and laughs about the camp. I helped with loading the cars I was riding with Renae in Renee's car since she wanted to ride her bike. We all planned to meet back at Edd and Renee's place.
After everything was cleaned out and packed up we all walked down to the pool where we saw all the campers, friends, parents, and coaches. Renee and Edd handed the coaches papers the coach from discovery high hugged her and said she didn't want to give her up and our coach just laughed at the interaction. As they finished handing out the papers everyone lined up.
"Hello everyone my name is Mark for those who don't know me I'm the director for the camp. Campers some of you have been selected to lead your schools as captains well now is the time to prove you are the best out of your school. First team up Lemon grabs."
Girls lined up first and as the whistle blew they dove in swimming as fast as they could. The coach was paying close attention, soon the guys were up. This went on until Peach creek was called.
Renee was in the middle looking ready to just be in the water.
"Hey Kevin have you ever seen Renee swim?"
"No Sam I haven't."
"Good you'll love this."
She set up her camera and Renae got out a tablet and timer. The whistle blew and off she went diving into the water she didn't come up until the turn while everyone was still a good bit behind I couldn't believe how fast she was compared to our girls. This is a shark just like Edd they both are fast and terrify in the water. Renee finished in record time and the coach from Discovery walked over to look at her time from Renae and look over the video with Sammy. She was happy she improved more over the summer.
Next was the guys which means Edd and Plank were up the girls were still talking to the coach about Renee and Bekah joined in impressed. When the whistle blew I couldn't take my eyes off of Edd the way his body moved blending into the water almost like they became one just as Renee had done he was ahead of everyone. Edd moved swiftly through the water as it was his natural habitat before anyone knew it he was done. He was the shark of Peach Creek now with Renee our school is unstoppable.
Discovery high was next and Sammy and Renae were recording and marking down times Bekah had finished first with everyone behind her close but good enough to know she had won.
Bekah is going to be captain at her school and Renee and Edd at our school being the two sharks that everyone will be fearing.
