The next day was odd and stressful I walked around with my head down, avoiding eye contact and ending conversations quickly. I just wanted to go home and rest. Kevin was always around Lue, I tried to avoid both of them. I soon bumped into Nazz, she walked up to me. "Hey Double D!" She walked over to me, waving. "Oh greetings Nazz." we were in the science lab, working on an experiment. "How is it going dude?" She smiled and handed me some goggles and gloves. "Oh I'm good. " I slid on the goggles and gloves. "So, hows you and your boy toy?" she stretch the gloves on her hands and adjusted her goggles. "Oh, were good Nazz. I'm just...going through something now." I softly said looking down at my table. A beaker and a graduated cylinder were filled with chemicals and water. I twirled them. "Going through...something?.." she asked she held my hand with both of hers, I looked up and tilted my head in confusion. "Whats...going on? I can help dude, ever since that accident with Ash and Kevin, the least I can do is help with a problem. So come on Double D." Nazz really changed from that incident and she really wanted to help me. So I told her, that I have a small crush on someone else. I didn't say who. "Oh! Dude if you want to stay with Kevin you should confirm your feelings with him and stick with it. you should drop this other small crush." She whispered so no one can ease drop in on us. "It's hard...this person has such a sweet smile and touc-"

"This person touched you?" she stopped me.

"O-oh! not like that but...he did hold me..." I smiled remembering the time Lue held me when the wind started to pick up, and the time he poked my face and smiled at me. "Double D...Double D!" she snapped her fingers in front of me grabbing my attention again. "Oh no...you...your in love with this guy...aren't you." her eyes widen, she's worried. "N..no...! I...I don't! I shouldn't have feelings for this person. I don't..."

'I shouldn't...'

"Double D...look at me." She grabbed my arm, she's on the opposite side of the table so I leaned a bit. We were staring at each other. "Think about this person now. but first clear your mind." she said, I did exactly what she said, I cleared my mind and thought about Lue. His smile the way he say my name. How he held me that day and when we were at the theater. "Double D..." she said releasing my arm. "You're in love with this person...your smiling and blushing!" she folded her arms. "I...no!" I panicked and backed away from the table. She walked around the table and stood next to me. "Double D...you can't have two people. you have to let one go." Nazz wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "You need to go to Kevin..." she looked at our shoes and then back at me. "I know for a fact that you love Kevin, He loves you as well, trust me...I know this dude. Kevin is rad by the way, so I say...keep the gold." She patted my, The bell loud ring scared me. I looked up and tossed the goggles and threw down the gloves. 'I'm...- no! I don't have feelings for this guy!' I kicked the table but it back fired. My foot started to ache in pain. "Ouchy!" I yelled. I looked up and the room was empty. The teacher left also. 'It is lunch...I need to hurry before the good edibles are all gone again.' I walked out the class room and down the hall. I heard someone laughing it sounded like Kevin or Rolf. I walked into the class room and it was empty, I looked around and noticed this was the second lab next door to the first one.

I turned around and bumped into someone. "Oh excuse me-" I looked up, and seen a soft smile. "L-..." I'm interrupted by a hand. "Don't speak..."

It was Lue in his sweater and blue jeans. "Don't hold back Double D..." He whispered in my ear. He slowly ran his fingers down my lips letting my mouth go. "L-..Lue...I don't have feelings for you..." I blushed at his soft touch. "Oh stop this bullshit Edd." He chuckled and it scared me a bit. I never seen this side of Lue, the determined and bossy type. 'Are all Jocks like this?...' I wondered. he leaned down, close enough for a small kiss. "Do it Edd...I know you want to.." his beautiful brown eyes were staring into mine. The heat of both the blew every time we breath out. My body wanted him but I did not. "L...Lue..." I blushed, feeling small pecks of his lips as I twitched a little. My legs started to shake and my palm is sweaty. I couldn't move. I seen his eyes gaze over behind me as he smirked and looked back down at me. "Lue...I...I can't..." I mumbled. "Your face is so innocent..." He smiled, still inches apart. He stood up straight. I stood there frozen, don't know what to do. 'K...Kevin!' My thoughts roared at me. I ran out the class room but tripped by a small lunch box. 'Who would leave a Lunch box here!' I sat up and grabbed it, standing up and dusting myself off I looked at the name on the box. It was written with a sharpie and horrible penmanship and a couple of drawings, 'Kev' My heart felt as if it dropped, This is his old lunch box he would bring to school everyday when we were smaller. I slowly opened it and it, Its full of Vegetables and Fruits. 'did...he make this for me?...' I looked around and the hallway was empty, I ran down the hallway to the corner and seen someone walk down the stairs with a blue jacket and black hoodie. "K-Kevin!" I cried out. He didn't stop walking. "K...Kevin..." I started to cry. My heart felt like it couldn't control the beats.

'Did...Lue...plan this...'

I couldn't wait to see Double D. My day started off perfect played basket ball with the guys and during classes I sat with Rolf, Ash or Lue. The day was a bit too perfect. I couldn't wait for Lunch. I wanted to see Edd so badly. Since this morning I thought about him. Sadly I couldn't find him. I thought he was avoiding me or he's being shy again. 'So cute of him...' I thought while smiling. "yo Kev!" someone ran up from behind me and jumped on my back. It was Ashley. "Yo Ash, what's up?" I carried her to our next class. Art. "I was thinking about We all go to the beach. camp fire or some gay shit like that." she suggested. She ducked her head going into the room while on my back. "Yeah sure. sounds like fun." I let her go and she jumped down from my back and into her seat.

"So, Lue is moving out somewhere...he said he wants to go to a sandy place. open out. he asked me to join but I had to turn him down. I may move in with Rolf." She placed her book bag on the floor next to her. "Ah...you guys will be sprouting babies back and forth and fucking up the cul-de-sac with you yelling and screaming." we laughed and she hit my shoulder playfully. "What about you and Edd?" She asked handing me a pencil. "Hey you remembered huh." I nodded thanking her for the pencil. "Yeah you always forget yours. you Jock." she smiled. "Me and Edd living together?...huh..sounds like a lot of pain in my back and hip." I chuckled and she smiled. "You guys make a perfect couple..." she looked at the substitute who were sleep. "You know...I may take Rolf and move out the cul de sac...that place has a lot of memories but I want to make new ones..." She looked up at the ceiling and smiled. "We should go with my brother. all of us. just go Traveling. you know?" She added. "Us travel? thats like a riot on wheels." I laughed.

"Oh come on I'm serious Kevin! think about it. you with the love of your life and me with a guy I might kill and my older brother with connections." She turned over to look at me. Folding her legs while sitting in her seat. "I don't know...What about our friends here?...can't just leave them like that. we all grew up together."

"It's just a thought...you know? once we graduate what are you going to do? stay here? stay with Edd? whats your plans?"

"Your talking like traveling it a good idea...I barely have money now. MY job barley pays me enough to survive." I looked at my phone. "Kevin..." She patted my back and turned back to the table. "I love him you know..." I softly said. "Yeah I know...don't let anyone get in the middle...again." Ashley laughed and hit my shoulder playfully.

After a while the bell rung and we all walked out the class. I walked with Ash near the stairs. "I'm going to meet up with Double D. I made him this lunch." I showed her the box and she laughed. "What a dorky looking box, oh it's so adorable." She laughed. Rolf walked up behind her and grabbed her. "Can I borrow this excuse for a female form Kevin?" I nodded and Rolf left with Ash on his shoulders. I laughed a bit and heard it echoed. Rolf stopped and looked back laughing louder and hearing the echo. We both waved and they made their way to the Lunch room. I walked up stairs and into the Lab. "Double D?" I looked around and it was empty. "Where is he?..." I walked out and looked in the room next door, Empty then the next, Empty. I walked to the other Lab next door and seen Edd. I was about to open the door but as I walked closer I seen Lue leaning over to him. 'Is he...' My heart felt like it was ripping open. Lue kissed Double D. My Double D! I felt like killing Lue. I wanted to go in and kick his ass. Then Lue looked over to see me. I glared at him and walked away dropping the box. I stopped and looked back at the box. I remembered what Ash said about Lue wanting to move out the city. 'I hope he does before I be able to kill him...' I thought walking down the stairs.

I couldn't hold back the tears so I held my head down, lifting my hoodie over my face. I heard him call my name out but I didn't turn around. I didn't want him to see me cry. 'How can my best friend do this to me...and how would Edd allow him to do this?! I thought he loved me!' My thoughts roared.

'I thought he loved me...'

'he loves me right?...

Right?...'
