Eddward: Chapter Two
A/N: It's been nearly a year without an update! To all those who were patiently waiting, I'm sorry. I'm just completely forgetful. Anyways, without further ado, here's chapter two.
Eddward's thin frame was worsening as the days went by. In two weeks, he had went from toothpick to a string of floss, much to the dismay of his friends. As he and his three friends sat at their lunch table, Edd noted the faint glances at him from everyone in the school. It was as if they were looking at a completely different man. A broken, scared version of their once jolly friend, or rather acquaintance. His health habits even gained the attention of Eddy and Kevin, thought the latter wasn't as affected as everyone else.
As Edd sat at his table with his best friends, Eddy spoke up, "Woah, Sockhead, you pulling a Nicole Richie on us?"
Edd looked calmy at the boy, but the dark circles under his eyes made it seem as if it were a scowl, "Haha, Eddy, more anorexic jokes, I see. Nothing new?" Edd dropped his tray on the table revealing his lunch: Tuna.
"Tuna?" Eddy glared at the pale, uneasy boy, "What's up with you and tuna?" Eddy pondered for a while, thinking about something, "Here, Sockhead." Eddy piled Edd's tray with his food.
"Eddy! What are you doing!?"
Eddy looked down at his hands, "Well, I'm just..." Eddy mumbled the next few words, so that no one could hear. Edd understood what Eddy was trying to do, so he graciously accepted the food.
That's when he entered the room. Edd felt a cold gust of wind fly through when the cafeteria doors opened. As Edd turned around, he saw the big, burly man he didn't want to see...Ivan. Even though he still wore those sunglasses on his face, Edd knew that they were staring at each other. Edd noted that Ivan seemed much more menacing in a janitor jumpsuit rather than his usual attire. Ivan was walking towards Edd, who now seemed panicking. Ivan was nearing his location, and utter dread befell upon Edd. His heart started racing, and his breath was becoming short. He needed air, but he couldn't get up. Ivan was only a few feet away from their table. Edd started panting.
"I-I ha-have to go, gents. Good day t-to you." Edd told his friends before standing up and running out of the cafeteria. Just as Ivan got to their table, he walked passed it, ignoring the Eds. Edd started running as fast as he could down the corridors of his school. He wanted-no-needed to find the bathroom, but the hallway never seemed to end. An endless void of running was not good, especially for the tiny legs Edd had. Then..."SANCTUARY!" Edd yelled as he opened the bathroom door. As he stood in front of the mirror, he grabbed a paper towel (being the germaphobe he is) and turned on the faucet. Just as he cupped his hands, something jerked him into a bathroom stall. It was Ivan.
Ivan had took off his glasses, so Edd could see his brown eye. Ivan's face was ready to explode, giving Edd a new sense of fear he has never encountered. Sure, Kevin used to beat him up, but Ivan was a full grown man. Ivan opened his mouth to speak, "YOU LITTLE FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I COME OVER TO SAY HI AND YOU RUN THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME? I'LL FUCKING GUT YOU AND MAKE YOU SAY HI!" Ivan then heard the sound of someone nearing the restroom and dropped Edd before running away. His heart pounding, Edd sat on the toilet frozen in fear. He didn't mind the germs as his mind was set on other places. With a deep breath, he stood up. Trembling to the core, he waltz his way to the exit.
Sorry for the short chapter. I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things.
