CHAPTER 5

(EDDY'S P.O.V)

"Here, put your hand like this." Carl said, as I watched him place his hands over Sarah's. My blood boiled in anger, as I watched him flirt with Sarah.

UNBELIEVEABLE…

First he comes in and causes problems between Nazz and Kevin…

ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH…

"I bet you like that huh Carl?," I said aloud for everyone to hear. The entire cul-de-sac, and myself were getting ready to try out our rental AVT GoKart around the neighbourhood.

"What are you talking about Eddy?," Sarah said her tone of voice dripping with annoyance. "I bet you want to touch more you fucking shithead." I growled as I quickly approached him, and was about to throw a punch at him, but Kevin stepped between Carl and I.

"Seems to me the cul-de-sac's number one troublemaker is jealous." Carl responded smirking.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OUR CUL-DE-SAC!," I exclaimed in anger. I was sick and tired of this look alike creating chaos in me and my friend's lives. Seeing him do this was just a reminder of the person I use to be.

"I propose a race," Carl suddenly said. " What the fuck are you talking about?," I growled, as I thought how quick I could duck under Kevin's arm, and smash his face in with my fist. "Whoever wins takes all. Right here right now. We start here, and make a U turn by the trailer park, first one who makes it back here wins. Winner gets a date with Sarah.

What do you say Sarah?." Carl asked turning to her. " I don't see why not?." Sarah responded grinning at him. "Bring it on."

THERE WAS NOWAY I WAS GONNA LOSE…

(EDDY'S P.O.V)

As Carl and I gunned our engines, we waited for Sarah, who was standing a few yards from us to wave the race flag.

"GO EDDY!," Kevin and Rolf shouted in unison.

"KICK HIS ASS!," Johnny exclaimed making me grin at his words.

That was exactly what I planned on doing. This was my one and only chance to get close to Sarah considering what happened between us at the Bonfire.

There was no way I was gonna let that asshole beat me.

EVEN IF IT WAS THE LAST THING I DID…

Sarah finally waved the race flag, as we drove past her. As we went around a corner I rammed Carl which earned me a dirty look from him.

"GIVE IT UP CARL!," I said laughing at his frustration I suddenly let up and Carl overtake me. He entered the trailer park with me hot on his trail. He quickly made a U-turn, as i did the same. I was about to ram him from behind, when a wooden paddle came out from the bushes, and hit me smack in the face, knocking me off the GoKart.

The last thing I heard before everything went black was the sound of a Kanker's laughter.

(EDD'S P.O.V)

"That was refreshing," I said to myself, as I put on my infamous red T-shirt on. It was two in the afternoon, and half an hour ago us Eds and the rest of the cul-de-sac decided to call it quits on driving the AVT GoKarts. After all the summer heat was becoming unbearable.

It was disappointing to see Eddy lose the race against Carl. I was looking forward to see Carl get his come upping's. Hearing all about the bad things most of the cul-de-sac had to say, I couldn't help but wonder if I was next. Got to think positive after all, May was coming home today.

I managed to convince her to come back when we communicated through Skype. Now that I knew Marie wasn't going to interfere with our relationship, things could go back to normal. Straightening my hat for the last time I headed downstairs to go wait by the bus stop since May would be showing up any minute. I opened my front door to see Ed, and the rest of the cul-de-sac had put up a volleyball pole, and were playing volleyball.

WHERE WAS EDDY?.

I thought to myself, since he usually doesn't want to miss an opportunity to have fun with the other kids. As I crossed the street, I spotted Eddy sitting in the shade by himself. By the look on his face, he was still upset about his lost with Carl.

Before my thoughts could muster up sympathy for Eddy, the bus pulled up. My heart began to flutter, as I stared at the open bus door hopefully. She promised me she would be here, but I knew I had to leave room for disappointment. I couldn't blame her if she chose not to come back for summer. I could only imagine what it's like living with a bitch like Marie.

"May," I said softly. I quickly walked up to her, and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips. Her face turned red as a tomato as I hugged her.

"Get qway from him May," Kevin's voice was coming from directly from behind me. "Why?." May responded clearly confused. "What's going on Kevin?," Nazz asked as she approached us.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW…

"I didn't want to have to do this," Kevin suddenly said with a sigh. "Your boyfriend's a liar May." "What?," was the only response May could say. She glanced from Kevin to Edd in confusion. "He's not who you think he is. He's been seeing another girl from school Alice McGruder. I only know this, because Alice bragged about it herself. If you don't believe me when summer is over and school starts back, you can question Alice yourself."

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING AT KEVIN-" I paused as I heard May sniffle I turned to see a waterfall of tears.

"MAY, KEVIN IS LYING," I exclaimed. Instead of responding, she slowly backed away from me, and shaked her head in disbelief.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!," She hissed as she snatched her hand away, as I made a grab for it. The next thing I knew she ran in the opposite direction as fast as she could. I didn't run after her, because so many emotions were running through me right now.

"Kevin why'd you do that?!" Nazz demanded clearly angry at what Kevin did. Kevin never got to respond, because I threw myself at him in rage, as I pummelled him in the face repeatedly.

"YOU VILE HUMAN BEING. YOU DISGUSTING DEGENERATE!," I screamed in rage. "LOOK WHAT YOU DID!. JUST WHEN THINGS WERE GOING BACK TO NORMAL!."

I had completely lost my temper, but I didn't care. Kevin's reaction had made something inside me snap. What did I do to deserve this?!. Everything Kevin had said was a lie. I don't know why he did this, but he was going to give me some answers one way or another.

"GET OFF ME MAN!," Kevin growled but made no movement to push me off him. As I looked closer at Kevin I realized he had regret written all over his face.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS KEVIN!," I demanded as I grabbed him by his collar.

"GET…

OFF…

ME…" He growled again.

I punched him in the face again, when I suddenly felt two strong arms pull me off Kevin.

"THAT'S ENOUGH EDD," Ed's stern voice said from behind me, as he restrained me.

"WHAT THE HELL EDD!," Eddy exclaimed, as he came running from across the street. "YOU ATTACKED KEVIN!," Eddy stated in disbelief.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!." I didn't respond. Instead I kept glaring at Kevin.

THIS WASN'T OVER.

NOT BY A LONG SHOT…
