"Eddy, I want you to know that you've been my best friend ever since I moved here and-"

Edd crossed that line out.

"Eddy, I know you can't forgive me, but-"

Edd crossed that line out.

"It was a moment of weakness! I swear!"

Edd crossed that line out.

"I suppose I deserve all of the phone calls and troubling messages on MyPlace I'm getting now. I also deserve your parents pressing charges against me. I've been acting so selfish lately, and I don't know what to do with myself now, and-"

Edd crossed that line out.

Subject: RE: You're not going to do anything?

Oh Eddward, do I have to explain this again? I did not simply give Eddy your laptop, no, I only gave him the chance to take it from my home. It is nobody's fault but your own now that your secrets have been released.

I cannot help you anymore, you fiend. Good day.

[From: Kevin]

[Hey man, I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I didn't know about all that shit that went down with you and Double-D. I know it's not much, but if ya want some jawbreakers or just want to hang out or something, come on by.]

[From: Nazz]

[Eddy, I'm so sorry about what happened. I can't imagine what you must've been feeling. TBH I have a cousin who went through something similar, but that was a total stranger and was stopped before anything happened. I hope you feel better soon.]

[From: Rolf]

[Loudmouth Ed-boy, your predicament saddens Rolf. In Rolf's home country, that situation is met with the binding of the perpetrator and they are beaten at the gate of the village with trout. Rolf does not see how this would help here, Double Ed-boy's betrayal and sin seem different than that of pure malice.]

The following was written on some notebook paper.

"Did you hear the news, Kev?"

"Yea I heard"

"Can you believe it? He's moving away."

"I know, can't say I won't miss having him around."

"Do you think its for the best?"

"Dunno, probably. After what he did and all."

"We should go say goodbye, it's the least we could do."

A group of kids including Kevin, Nazz, Rolf, Jonny and Plank, Ed, and May watched as Edd walked from the door to his house carrying the last of his luggage and putting it in the back of his parent's car. Edd didn't look at them, but his facial expression was nearly blank.

Nazz and Rolf were waving goodbye, Kevin just stood there folding his arms, Jonny and Plank were discussing about where Edd was going, May was trying to comfort a crying Ed.

Before getting into the back of the car, Edd faced the crowd, took a deep breath.

"Goodbye."

Sir Jimmy: So, you got off the hook. Good for you, now where is it?

Woodboy: Where what?

Sir Jimmy: Don't be stupid, that laptop wasn't the only thing you took.

Woodboy: Dunno what ur talking about

Sir Jimmy: Where's my BOOK?

Woodboy: Oh that? I gave it to Eddy.

Sir Jimmy: You what?

Woodboy: Yeah, Eddy would probably get better use out of your scam book than you would.

Sir Jimmy: You're kidding. How in the heck did you even know I had such a thing?

Woodboy: Seriously your already vain enough to act like a total dick even a monkey could figure out that you'd have some kind of record or ledger and now Eddy has it and is telling everyone about all the shit you and Sarah pulled.

Sir Jimmy: Like anyone would believe him, and it's written as "You're" you stupid illiterate commoner.

Woodboy: Don't give a fuck, have fun at school buddy!
