-Chapter 1-

The next morning when I woke up, I noticed the house was silent Hm I guess everyone already left for work and Renee at school. After my shower I went down stairs to get breakfast on the fridge I saw a note

Kevin-

Sorry we weren't here in the morning we went to register your cousin for school and she had her swim try outs. When you get to school can you ask her how she did?

Thank you Love Mom.

Well that answered that I guess I'm off to school.

"Kevin!"

"Hey Nazz, what's up?"

"Dude your cousin is the talk of the school the whole girl swim team is up in a roar!"
"What no they aren't."
"Dude just go talk to some of them."

I walked into school seeing Renee by her locker and people staring at her like she is a freak or something.

"Yo, Renee what's up?"
"Oh hey Kevin, not much just got done with the administration got my classes sorted out."
"Sweet that's good so how did try outs go or am I asking a stupid question?"
"They went as expected I'm on varsity and caption for having the fastest times."
"Choice knew you'd do it no problem."

As the bell rang I walked her to her first class
"Hey text me if you can't find your next classes and I'll help you out."
"Thanks loser see you at lunch."

As she went into the class half the football team walked up to me all screaming about how I know the new girl and shit like that man is was annoying. Then after I told them she was my cousin they all wanted me to "Hook a brother up." Today is got to be a long day. Then I saw Edd walk into her class I guess it's expected that they would have classes together they both are smart as hell.

First period was a drag all everyone was talking about was my cousin and how crazy her times were during the try outs and I guess one of them was in my class because she was pissed.

"Kevin don't you agree that it is bull shit that this new bitch comes walking in here and is just made caption where I've been on the team for the third year in a row I should be caption not her."

I look at her like how stupid are you and she kept talking.

"Well Kevin what do you think?"
"Do you really want to know you won't like what I have to say."
"Yeah I do dude because like I said this is bull shit."
"I think you are stupid to think that she had the better times she earned being caption and at her old school she was caption since her first year of high school, on top of that if you ever call my cousin a bitch I will make your life hell are we clear."

Everyone in the class gasped great my cousin was just as popular as me and on top of that hated.

[Naz you were right nobody will shut up about her.]

[told you dude it's crazy do u know what class she has right now?]

[Yeah it's something with Edd probably some smart class didn't look at her schedule just asked for the room]

As the rest of the day went by lunch finally came and everyone knew Renee and I were cousins.

"Kevin fuck you."
"What did I do."
"The entire football and baseball team won't leave me the fuck alone because they assume they can just walk up and start talking to me and hitting on me someone is about to get hit."

"Calm down Renee just eat lunch with us I promise to tell the guys to stop hitting on you and I'll help you beat up Kevin deal?"
"Thanks for the offer Naz but I already said I'd eat lunch with Edd and his friends because him and I were having a good conversation and I'd hate to be rude and not finish it."
"Okay dude see you later."

I watched her walk over to the table and sit next to him what the hell are they talking about?

"Kevin I don't think she's hitting on him you don't have to worry while I was helping her unpack she had a lot of school type stuff and I saw her yearbooks you didn't tell me she went to Discovery high how smart is she?"
"Pretty damn smart remember how I was gone for the summer and went to Germany, well I went with her and her friends Sam and Kim and let me tell you those three are insane."
"Dude that's pretty cool so her and Edd will get along with no problems I'm sure of it."

Lunch went by with guys walking up to her it was fun to watch her defend Edd and his friends its good she is making them.

[Hey mom Renee is having no problems at school in fact she made varsity and caption of the swim team]

[That's great let go out to celebrate tonight! I'll let your dad know thank you]

[Cool see you at home after practice]

Today was a pretty good day for me even though I swear Renee might kill me for the guys hitting on her I'll set them straight tonight.

On my way to the locker room I heard the team laughing about something. As I got closer I could see they were hurting Edd again…

"What the fuck Edd how come the new girl is so nice to you but a bitch to us?"
Please Edd don't say anything as soon as I walked over I heard Renee.
"Hey assholes leave him alone or I will beat your fucking asses."

Mark was they only one stupid enough to open his mouth god I can't stand him.
"Really a tiny girl like you is going to beat the whole football team's asses."
" I sure as hell will if you don't leave my friend alone you dumb shit."

Mark went to get in her face and she just decked him right in the face and his ass went down.

"Anyone else want to try and test their luck now I'll say this once more leave Edd alone or it's me you are dealing with got it."

I never seen the whole team afraid of someone other than the coach.

"Alright guys you heard her enough is enough and we need to get to practice let move it."

Once the guys went in the locker room I walked over to Renee.
"Thanks I guess but please don't hit my teammates too hard they need whatever brain they have for practice okay."
"Whatever man, Edd come watch swim practice and I'll take you home I don't want any of them messing with you okay."
"Okay Renee thank you for helping me but you really don't have to I would have been okay I'm used to it."

"Listen dork if any of them try anything find Renee, Naz, or I we'll protect you okay."

I saw the look on his face when he smiled with his big blue eyes how happy he was because nobody was going to do anything to him now that people cared enough to stop it.

"Thank you both for today."

With that he followed Renee to the pool.

Practice was easy today for everyone but Mark I guess Renee hit him pretty hard and nobody was letting him live it down. As we were changing most of the guy were talking about how they want to get with her and all I could do was laugh knowing she had a girlfriend made it all the better for me but she asked me not to talk about anything from her last school because it was her business to talk about nobody else's.

When I got home Edd and her were hanging out and everyone was excited for dinner to celebrate her being caption and on varsity.

"Salutations Kevin I hope you don't mind your parents invited me out for dinner with you guys since Renee and I are becoming such good friends."
"I don't see a problem with it if you ae cool to Renee you are fine by me."
"Thank you."

My mom cut in meaning it was time to go dinner, and it was the best thing ever she was all I needed to become close with him and I'm so thankful for her.

"Oh Renee did you tell Bekah the good news yet?"
"Hm oh yeah thanks Edd for reminding me she'll kill me if I forget to tell her."
"Wait Renee does Double Dork know?"
"Yeah Kevin I told him and Naz when they were helping me unpack the room because they saw the pictures of us together and they asked."
"Okay that's cool wanted to make sure."

Dinner was great we talked about anything and everything this year was going to be the year I tell Edd how I feel about him.
