OoOoOoOoO

The alarm beeps off. This is a sound Edd usually loves to hear, it is the noise that starts of his amazing school day. Today though it means he has six hours of school before making the hardest confession of his life. Edd already knows the outcome but, he just wishes that his parents will take it easy on him. He knows they are a really religious family and the bible dislikes homosexuality but, Edd hasn't really ever felt attracted to a woman. He knows they are supposed to be soft and loveable but, their attitudes and flirtatious ways make him sick to his stomach.

Edd can only really and truly stand Sarah because she is Ed's little sister and doesn't act very womanly at all. Nazz on the other hand put him on edge. Not only was she a popular and beautiful girl. Kevin had always had the biggest crush on her. Edd didn't believe he could ever win over her. This caused him to decide to use her as leverage to get what he wanted. Eddy must be rubbing off on me to make me go so far for only a moment of pleasure, Edd thought. He was crazy for using Nazz's name, he just hoped she wouldn't mind and wouldn't find out.

As Edd reluctantly got out of bed he stumbled over his pile of homework on the floor. As he picks them up and notices that Ed had left one of his movies on the floor, the title read "Aliens vs. Zombies: Billie's revenge". Edd would return it to him when he got to school. Ed, Eddy and himself had watched that movie the weekend before and had actually scared Edd a bit. Normally the movies Ed picked to watch weren't scary because Edd knew all of the mechanics behind making a movie and knew that it was entirely fake. Edd smiled at the memory of Ed squeezing him and Eddy up as Edd let out a shriek from something jumping on the screen. Edd just hoped that those days of the three of them hanging out weren't over because he was gay. Edd decided he would tell Ed and Eddy before leaving but wasn't sure he was going to tell them that he was leaving.

Edd picked up his books placing his homework neatly in an organizer before his black messenger bag. He rummaged through his dresser picking out new underwear and his signature red thigh high socks. He picked out a pair of purplish blue short that came down to his knees and a reddish orange v-neck t-shirt. After tousling his hair a bit, staring a little too long at the pink rugged skin down the middle of his head, he popped on a fresh black beanie and grabbed his bag before heading downstairs to fetch breakfast. Since breakfast was the most important meal of the day Edd made sure to never miss it. He looked into the refrigerator picking out fresh blueberries and strawberries before going to the cupboard to grab the oatmeal. As the oatmeal was warming up, Edd made himself a couple pieces of buttered toast. Placing the now warm oatmeal into a bowl he dropped the berries in placing everything neatly on the table before returning to the refrigerator to grab a glass of milk.

After finishing breakfast, Edd washed the dishes before grabbing his bag to meet the other Ed's out on the sidewalk. He smiled as Edd happily grabbed him up in a bear hug and flung him to sit up on his shoulder. Though Edd had an acrophobia, he wanted to be as close to his friends as he could for the remaining two weeks of school.

Kevin and Nazz came flying by yelling "Watch it dorks" as he barely swerved around him. Ed's stance faltered a bit and he almost dropped Edd. Double D shrieked and grabbed on to the tall boys head gripping with all him might demanding to be let down. Ed complied and the three boys continued their walk to the school. Edd blushed faintly embarrassed that Kevin witnessed and was even the cause of the childish scene that just passed.

Oh dear, Ed thought, I can't believe I allowed myself to get carried away. They will surely know something is up if I act any different than normal. With that thought Edd vowed not to act strangely or think of his impending doom.

Upon arrival to school Edd stopped by his locker to make sure he had all of his necessary homework and workbooks before making his way to his classroom. In this final year, Edd had been separated from Ed and Eddy and placed in the honors classes with Nazz and Rolf. Ed, Eddy and Kevin also shared a class but they were in the regular middle school course.

Since the finals were only two weeks away and they would decided whether the students would proceed into high school or not, the teachers decided that the two classes would study together. One honor student and one regular course student per group. This of course was more to help the regular course students pass and to create a better relationship before their transition into high school.

The honors students filed into the larger classroom and were told to stand at the front of the class. The regular course students were to pick someone they would get along with and could help them finish assignments. Of course the class that Edd's got assigned to had to be the one encompassing his best friends and crush. Edd nervously stood fidgeting at the front of the classroom waiting to see who would call on him. He openly looked at

Ed seemed to be staring at a certain chicken owning farmer and Eddy at his childhood crush, Nazz. Edd didn't know who would pick him and though he knew a few of the students from this class he was quite shy. The par of students would have to complete a project on the material that was learned throughout the ear based on the outline each pair would receive from the teacher. Edd secretly hoped he would be chosen by Kevin but knew that if he chose first e would pick Nazz.

Thankfully Ed chose first, he chose Rolf and Edd couldn't help but notice the lushes forming in both boys faces. Next was Eddy and he chose Nazz and Edd internally thanked him and God for giving him such good luck. A few other students chose before it was finally Kevin's turn and there were a few kids still left standing at the front of the room.

Kevin looked at the remaining options. There were two girls from the cheerleading squad, one of the nerds from the computer classes and then he spotted the dork that lived directly across the street from him. "Double Dweeb" Kevin counted and Edd looked up in surprise. He had not been expecting that but he was glad none the less.

A light blush had spread across his face and he mumbled a quiet "yes" and walked to sit next to the jock. Edd looked up at Kevin noticing his sharp features. They were quite manly for a boy in middle school but it made sense since everyone was going through puberty and Kevin had always been one to play many sports. I bet he'll be super hot in high school. I wish I could be here to see him. A blush quickly spread quickly over his face as Kevin shook him to get his attention saying "What's wrong, Double Dork? Your face is all red and you've been spacing out since you sat down. Do you really hate me so much that you don't want to be my partner?"

Edd was shocked from his daze and stuttered as he tried to say "Oh goodness no, Kevin. I don't dislike you at all," the boys words became frantic as he tried to explain. "I was just dazed for a moment after seeing you close up and I rather like you actually."

"So you're telling me my hotness stunned you and you're in love with me?" Kevin teased. Watching in amusement as Edd's face became dark red and he tried to make excuse.

"N-no Kevin, you simply look more m-mature for your age a-and y-you are not a very dislikable person as all," he tried as his face burned brighter and other kids started snickering at the two in the middle of the room.

"Don't worry Double Dweeb, I was just joking around. Lighten up a bit will you." He joked.

"O-oh is that so. Well I kindly ask you to refrain from making those types of jokes Kevin. Now, let us return to paying attention to the class." Kevin watched as Edd turned around to the teacher but notices the redness on the tips of the dork's ears and neck. This made Kevin snicker as he thought that he found a new way to tease the smartest of the three dorks.

The teacher handed each group a different worksheet so that the material would be presented in front of the class before the final exams started. That way the two classes would have a joint review class the day before the exams.

Edd and Kevin received the topic of photosynthesis/cellular respiration. This was one of Edd's favorite topics. His best classes were always science and math so he was very pleased with the topic. Edd heard Kevin let out a slow groan which made Edd's mind wander to dirty, scandalous thoughts before snapping back to reality once again. He looked over to Kevin and asked "Kevin, do you have troubles with this topic? If so I assure you that I will have it embedded into your mid before the exam is upon us."

Kevin sighed and responded with a confirmative grunt. "Science is not my thing Double Dweeb. I hope you're a good teacher."

With that the bell rung and it was time to head to lunch. Ed, Edd and Eddy stood together and walked to the cafeteria stopping at Edd's locker so he could grab his lunch. As they walk into the cafeteria and take their usual seats at the table closest to the doors, Edd is internally debating about how he should tall his friends of his preference for men. He sits in his seat restless and fidgety waiting for the other Ed's to get back.

Kevin looks over from his seat and notices Edd's restlessness. He decided that it's the best idea to make fun of the little dork while asking about the project. "Hey Double Dweeb, are you free after school today?"

Edd looks up startled from his frantic thoughts and blushes as new ones sprout about what Kevin could mean by this. He lets out a small "Huh?"

"Well, we should get an early start on the project since I don't really know much about the topic."

"O-oh yeah," he says his blush deepening. Don't let your thoughts run wild, Eddward. "U-um I am sorry Kevin but I am quite busy today but perhaps we can schedule a meeting for tomorrow, yes?" Edd speaks nervously hoping not to anger his childhood bully.

"Yeah that's all right so I'll see you tomorrow after school then. I'll give you a ride home on y bike and you can come to my place. Meet my by the flagpole out front after school's over got it, Double Dweeb." Kevin scratches at the back of his neck a little irritated that he would have to wait until tomorrow to get the shitty homework done.

"Of course, Kevin!" he said with a grin and a creeping blush.

"Hey Double D, you makin' a date over there or what? I didn't know you were into box headed shovel chins." Eddy said walking over causing Edd to blush immensely and Kevin glare in his direction making a slight 'tch' noise.

"Ed-Eddy, please do not speak such things. We are simply agreeing on when we will do our project for the review class coming up. As I recall you have one too."

"Yeah and you were totally blushing like a school girl when Kevin picked you ya' know." He said with a snicker as Edd blushed again glaring at Eddy furiously.

Edd turned his attention back to Kevin and said "Please excuse his rudeness Kevin and I will bring the materials to school with me tomorrow because even though I live across the street from you, things are going to start to get quite hectic at my house starting today. I will meet you outside and teach you to the best of my ability." He gave Kevin a small smile which was returned before the jock returned to his own table.

"Eddy that was highly unnecessary of you, we were simply agreeing upon a time to do our project. Keep your impish ways to yourself please." Edd said.

"Oh come on, sock-head. You've been blushing at shovel-chin like a school girl all day. It's like you're some kind of fag with an infatuation with him." Edd's eyes widened at that word. The disgraceful word that told Edd all he needed to know about how their conversation was going to go.

Edd suddenly felt angry at Eddy for using that derogatory term for homosexual people. He felt that he had been betrayed by Eddy before he even had a chance to tell the boy. He decided he was going to say it after all and if their friendship was fragile enough to be broken by this simple confession, it wasn't worth keeping.

Then Edd felt saddened at the possibility that his friendship would be over with his best friend. With tears in his eyes and anger in his voice he slowly and calmly said, "And if I am?"

Eddy's eyes shot up at the comment, "W-what?" He could not believe his ears. His best friend was gay and liked Kevin. No. Impossible. He decided he would need confirmation. "Y-you can't be serious right?" he started to panic. "YOU ARE A FAG AND YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TELLING ME ABOUT IT?" he began to shout.

Panic started to set it on Edd as he noticed people starting to stare. He tried to calm Eddy down so they could have a rational conversation away from people but, Eddy was having none of that.

"DON'T TOUCH ME YOU FUCKING QUEER." His voice got louder again and Edd could feel everyone staring, not daring to look around. Tears started welling in his eyes as Eddy continued. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DOUBLE D. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISGUSTING. I MEAN WE USED TO GET DRESSED TOGETHER. AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU WANNA GO OUT THERE AND GET YOUR ASS POUNDED BY A MAN."

Edd jumped a bit and wanted to run but couldn't move his feet. He was standing now, completely still. Eyes full of tears. He could not believe that his best friend had betrayed him like this and now even spread it throughout the whole school. He looked back at Ed. Ed looked completely unfazed like he already knew Edd's secret but, he didn't look like he was disgusted. He only felt sympathy for Edd who was now being outed to the whole school in the cruelest way possible.

Eddy continues still, "THAT'S FUCKING DISGUSTING MAN. I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT YOU. SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY GUT AND NEVER BEFRIENDED YOU. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME YOU FUCKING FAG."

At this, the tears overflowed and he walked over to Eddy and slapped him straight across the face. By now the entire cafeteria was silent listening only to Eddy's yelling. The slap echoed through the whole room. Some people had their cell phones out recording the whole fight from the beginning. Edd stepped back, his tears now flowing down his cheeks. He spoke loudly and calmly, looking Eddy square in the face. The spite could be heard clearly in his voice.

"I may be a homosexual, and yes I want to be fucked in my ass. I've wanted it for a while now but, you have nothing to worry about Eddy. *heh* I have never once thought that I wanted you. Hell, out of my closest friends even Ed is better than you. At the very least he looks the part of a man. And he's stronger and more handsome than you will ever be. But you are right, Eddy, it was a mistake to get dressed in the same room as you. It forced me to look at your ugly ass self while you thought you were a pulchritudinous presence. I believe I could be more aroused looking a pillow than at you. Also, it is very barbaric of you to announce another person's sexuality. I would like to tell everybody here one of your very own secrets to make us even. Ahem… everybody are you ready? Eddy has an anablephobia. That means he has a fear of looking up. Now that we are even I do believe our friendship has now concluded. Please excuse me."

Edd's voice cracked as he said the last line running into the hall forgetting his lunch behind. He lost his appetite and tears now streamed freely down his face as he ran to the bathroom to cry. His sobs were racking his body and he could barely breathe. He was falling into a panic attack and knew it was going to be hard to carry on the rest of the day when it was over.

Edd slowly calmed down. Ten minutes before the bell rang signaling the end of the period he finally calmed down and went to look at himself in the mirror. He was glad that he locked the door when he first came in. Looking at him in the mirror showed that he was a complete mess. His eyes were red and swollen; his breathing ragged and tears stains streaming down his face. Edd's mind was so full of other things he didn't even bother to think of all the germs residing in the public bathroom.

Edd washed his face and pulled his small make-up kit out of his pocket. He kept it there for when he had gotten beat up after Eddy's scams in order to hide the bruising. He had unwillingly become skilled in the art of concealer. Quickly rubbing onto his face in an even coat, he looked like his usual self. He was completely calmed and decided to get through the day and it would all be over.

He then suddenly remembered that he had to speak to his parents today. Oh what a shitty day this turned out to be. He didn't expect it to be pleasant but he never thought that the whole school would find out his secret.

I guess I'll just have to start my plan early since everybody knows my preferences now. Maybe if I befriend Kevin first it won't be as hard. Edd thought about what his next steps were to do and he figured he would just go back to class and finish the school day. I wonder if we are still meeting up tomorrow after school or not. We do still have to do our project whether I am homosexual or not.

Edd sighed just as the bell rang and he went to his classroom. He could hear everybody whispering as he walked through the halls no doubt about the occurrence in the cafeteria. Thankful for Edd though, his next class was not the joint one with the regular course students but only his honors class. He didn't talk much in that class so it wouldn't be as hard to face his peers.

The class passed by normally enough. By the end of the day Edd had almost forgotten about the events that had transpired at lunch, almost. He went to his locker like usual, people talked about him which he was used to but now it was just about a personal matter and was a bit more than usual.

Ed waited for Edd at his locker. The big oaf looked at Edd with sad eyes that knew the relationship between the three Ed's could never be the same. Ed spoke first "Double Dee, Ed still loves you even if you like boys. Double Dee still loves Ed too, right? Did Ed do anything wrong?" Ed had tears in his eyes and everything he said was sincere.

Edd offered a hug to Ed and he gratefully accepted. "I still love you Ed but, would it be ok if we stayed like this for a little while?" Edd answered. Soon Edd was balling his eyes out into the taller Ed's arms. He could feel his strong muscular chest and broad back as he stood sobbing like a fool at his locker.

The two boys stood there until the hallways were clear and everybody had gone home. Then Ed speaks up "Hey, Double Dee, I think I like a boy too. Does that mean Eddy hates me too? I love Eddy though he is our best friend. I don't want to lose Eddy."

Edd is shocked by the initial comment but decided that it would be appropriate to ask for details at a later date. "Even if Eddy doesn't want to be out friend, Ed, I still have you and you still have me, ok?" Ed nodded and started to cry along with Edd.

What a couple of fools they were, standing in the middle of the hallway near a vandalized locker just crying their eyes out.

The boys stopped crying and finally calmed down. Then Ed had an idea as if he had remembered something very important. "Double Dee, after you left the cafeteria earlier, Kevin and Rolf yelled at Eddy for being a "dick headed homophobe that shouldn't be allowed to live on the Earth.' They beat him up and I didn't help Eddy out because he hurt Double Dee's feelings and Eddy hurt my feelings."

"Eddy hurt my feelings a lot today and I guess if you like a boy then it would be the same for you. Well Ed will you walk me home today? I have an important discussion to have with my parents then I might be sent away, ok? When I finish talking with them I will give you a call and tell you what is happening."

Ed sniffled and nodded his head, "If Double Dee has to leave I promise I will try my best to get Rolf to fall for me."

Ah, so his crush is Rolf then. I hope everything goes well and when I leave I will make sure to keep in contact with Ed at least.

"I wish you good luck on your love endeavors, Ed. I shall keep in contact with you if I leave, ok?"

The two boys walk silently from then on up to Edd's front porch. They part with a hug a sniffle from Ed. Edd gave him a reassuring smile and waved goodbye until he saw his friend walk into his own home.

Now Edd had to brace himself for his parents but when he walked into the house there was no parent present. Edd walked into the kitchen and on the table he saw one pink post it note.

Eddward,

We did not raise a queer. After your exams are finished, pack a bag and we will pick you up

Carla & Lennard Vincent

OoOoOoOoOoO

Carla and Lennard Vincent are Edd's parents. I didn't know their real names so I looked it up but got like 5 different names for each of them so I stuck with these two. If you think it should be changed to something different just let me know because I am not sure. Anyway it's like 12:47 am and I am so tired so the ending wasn't the greatest. Sorry!

I promise I will make it up to you!

Please review, favorite, follow. I love you!
