CHAPTER 4

(EDDY'S P.O.V)

"AAHH," Rolf managed to say after chugging down his third glass of whiskey. "I must commend you Kevin, this whiskey is just as good as the one from the old country." "Just don't chug it all," Kevin grinned proudly as he gazed into the massive Bonfire.

I knocked my head to the song Polarize by the band Twenty One Pilots, as I took in my surroundings. As the flames cackled, I thought to myself that despite a disruption in our little paradise, those who were genuine friends banned together, and had a good time.

I was staring at Edd now with an amused look on my face, who sat next to me, and stared hesitantly into his cup. "What's the matter Sockhead?, are you gonna stare at your drink whole night or what?." "May I remind you that I don't drink Eddy," Edd snapped quietly at me.

"Come on it's our first beer," I protested. Meanwhile I happened to glance up to see Ed drinking his fourth beer like water. Ed threw the empty beer bottle unceremoniously over his shoulder, and was about to drink a fifth when I stopped him. "That's enough Lumpy," I said handing him water now. "The rate you're going at you'll kill whatever brain cells you have left.
"Edd it's just one beer," I murmured, into his right ear trying to sound convincing, as I attempted to poke the bear. "You godda learn to live a little." I said taking a gulp of my own drink. "Where not kids anymore where teenagers. Of all the summers we've had this one is supposed to be one of the most memorable."

Without warning Edd put the cup to his head. Smirking to myself, I did the same. Call me a sneaky bastard for all I care, I knew I was doing the right thing. A lot of things were going to change in our lives, given that we were now teenagers, which is why we all needed to be prepared, and ready for when the changes came if not here already for some of us.

I watched one of my best friends Edd who was once a wimpy kid, become a guy with some backbone. And you know what?, I was proud of him. Seeing for myself what Edd has become, made me realize I was needed to push him to experience new things.

After all he was dating a Kanker, and they had a lot of experience…

"Kevin do you remember daring Eddy to go into the abandoned house, and you promised to give him a jawbreaker if he did?,"(Honour thy Ed Season 2 episode 9a) Ed suddenly asked Kevin wearing a silly grin on his face. "Ohhh yeah," Kevin stated as a wicked grin crept on his face. "You were never going to get that jawbreaker by the way." Kevin told me reaching for another beer.

"Like I wanted it," I shot back jokingly. "Or the time I beat up Rolf, because I thought he held my bike for ransom for jawbreakers, all because Eddy was behind it for a stupid key." (Key to my Ed Season 2 episode 14). "Or the time that Eddy thought he was on a date with Nazz!." (Season 2 episode 13). Johnny suddenly said making everyone crack up with laughter. "Those were good times," I said jokingly, as I glanced at Sarah who rolled her eyes, and got up and headed to the cooler that was behind us. For the entire night Sarah kept glaring at me from a distance. As if I had done something to offend her I even tried talking to her by herself at one point, and she just downright ignored me.

I realized that I wanted another drink, and decided that this was the perfect opportunity to talk to her again. I don't know what happened, but I was going to get to the bottom of this… "Are you mad at me?," I questioned as she closed the cooler with a huff.

Instead of responding she attempted to side step me which I blocked. "Eddy what are you doing?," Sarah growled lowly, as she glared daggers at me for stepping in her path. "Why are you angry with me all of a sudden?," I asked softly. "Because I just realized you're the same selfish asshole you've always been." She kept her voice low, which I was thankful for.

"You thought that I wouldn't find out that you're in love with Nazz?." "Sarah you've got it all wrong-" I began to say. "Just when I thought you had changed Eddy," Sarah glanced at me disappointedly. "Sarah it's not what you think," I said in a pleading way. "Carl was right about you," she murmured more to herself, as she side stepped me again this time I allowed her to walk away.

WHAT THE HELL WAS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!.

I turned back to see Carl staring at me with an unmistakeable wicked grin on his face.

FUCKING CARL…

I COULDN'T WAIT TO KICK HIS ASS…

The plan was already set in motion to take down Carl, all we needed was the right circumstance.

(MARIE'S P.O.V)

I popped my juicy fruit chewing gum, as I had suddenly appeared from behind a tree. Not too far away stood Kevin checking out his AVT Go Kart . From what I heard from Carl, those cul-de-sac shitheads were going Go karting today. Could they be anymore lamer?.

I still couldn't believe that I had mistaken this new kid for Eddy, the resemblance was uncanny. I had to admit he fooled me. Thanks to Carl's genius plan, I would be getting sweet revenge. I sighed happily as I stood behind Kevin smirking inwardly. There was nothing like a mixture of summer and revenge to get my blood pumping.

"What's up mountain douche?," I spoke up startling Kevin who swung around surprised since I had snuck up quietly behind him. I watched as his expression slowly turned from surprise to glaring at me. "What do you want skank?," Kevin growled, as turned his back on me and continued to look at his AVT. "Funny you should say that," I snorted in laughter.

"The pot calling the kettle black," I sneered in satisfaction as I watched him stiffen. "What are you talking about Marie?," Kevin snarled. "I don't have time for your games." "Course you don't unless it has something to do with that city chick you've been messing with."

I saw fear flash in Kevin's eyes for a split second. "Such a hypocrite," I smirked at him now as I pulled out my phone.

OH I WAS GOING TO ENJOY THIS…

"How-how did you get that?," Kevin paled at seeing the picture on my phone. "I saw you two the other day in the city," I grinned from ear to ear like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland. "Of course you didn't see me who would've thought the cul-de-sac's handsome daredevil jock who could no wrong would've a second girlfriend."

"You shut up…" Kevin growled lowly. Lucky for him the rest of the kids from the cul-de-sac weren't nearby to see this. The picture I had shown Kevin was a recent picture of him, and some girl name Gina from school who lived in the city walking and holding hands in the city.

"Oh and don't worry I have lots of copies, and I'll be happy to show your precious main chick of yours the truth." "What do you want Marie?," Kevin sighed in frustration.

"Oh just one tiny little favour." I said smiling innocently.
