OoOoOoOoOoO

The more Edd thinks about the note, the more it hurts. His parents never paid much attention to him but even this was too much. His parents wouldn't even allow him to tell them himself. They must have seen one of the videos. I wonder how many were posted online.

Edd couldn't help his curiosity and went up to his room to check the computer. After logging onto Facebook there are already twenty five videos in his feed in which he is tagged. He finds a few more that had been reposted to him because the original poster was not one of his Facebook friends.

Edd held his breath and clicked on one of the videos posted by Johnny. Edd and Johnny hadn't been on good terms since plank was used in one of Eddy's scams. On top of that Edd was pretty sure he was a homophobe like Eddy turned out to be. Eddy and Edd had been tagged in the post. The video lasted ten whole minutes and Edd hadn't even realized that the confrontation lasted that long. The comments were awful. Some people talked about all the "faggots" there were in the school. The talked about how people who were homosexual should just die.

When Edd was at the end of the comment list and was about to burst into tears a few more popped up.

Johnny: I suspected Edd was a fag. Who knew he wanted a man so badly, right? But at least he's got enough taste as to not want Eddy.

Eddy: Shut the fuck up you asshole. The only one with a problem here is sock-head. I'm beautiful just the way I am.

Sarah: I can't believe I had a crush on him last year. That's so totally disgusting. I wish I could erase it. It makes me feel ashamed of myself.

Jimmy: I know, Sarah. I warned you that it was a bad idea to go after someone who had no interest in girls. I always told you he was a fag.

That hurt Edd worse than some of the previous comments. Not only was Eddy still saying bad things about him but even the younger kids of the cull-de-sac wouldn't accept him. Edd wasn't certain it was okay to read the few comments that popped up while he was straining to hold back his tears. He decided it would be better to keep reading to be sure of how he would be treated at school the following day.

Kevin: All of you people need to stop. Double Dweeb is the same as before. All you people are scum for thinking badly of others. I know a few secrets about all of you that could really do some damage.

Nazz: Would you guys say the same thing if it was someone close to you that was gay. You people are so insensitive and it's like totally not cool.

Rolf: Rolf thinks that smart Ed-boy is fine the way he is. Even Rolf is interested in a boy. I would not mess with Rolf or Rolf will mess with you.

The last few comments brought Edd over the edge and he burst into tears before logging out and shutting down the computer. Edd flopped onto his bed and sobbed roughly. He was disgusted by himself but felt happy because Kevin protected him. Even though Kevin didn't mean it how Edd wanted it he still felt happy. That happy feeling disgusted Edd all the more. Before he knew it Edd had drifted off to sleep before doing his homework assignments or review for the next day.

Edd flew awake at the sound of his five o'clock alarm. He groggily rubbed his eyes and sat up in his bed. Edd had hoped everything that had happened was a dream and that when he went to school everything would be as it normally was. He would see Ed and Eddy at his front door to pick him up as they always did. He would glance at Kevin as he and Nazz rode by on Kevin's bike. He would attend his daily classes and sit at the last table with his two best friends.

Fate was not so nice. Edd quickly realized this as he sat up and found his book bag on the floor unopened from the day before. He had time before school, about two hours. Edd pulled out his homework having it done in record time trying not to think of anything else. After checking over his homework three times he reviewed for today's classes. Edd hopped into the shower and tried to scrub away the filth he felt in his soul. He scrubbed his skin until it was raw and bloody in a few spots.

His desperation caused him to once again burst into tears. He felt pathetic, like no matter how hard he scrubbed he would never become clean. Stepping out of the shower, Edd looked at his scars in the mirror with a faint smile. When Edd returned, he decided, he was going to be bigger and badder. He was going to be unrecognizable as his old self. But for now he was still small and nerdy. He would have to deal with that for seven more school days as today was Thursday. His weekends could be spent at home or at Ed's house away from judgmental eyes.

As Edd got dressed he went over his schedule for the day happy that all of his classes were honors courses so he would not have to see Eddy anywhere but the cafeteria. Edd was confused whether he was to still meet up with Kevin after school or not. Kevin had protected him in the comments to the video he watched the day before. Edd cringed at the memory of the things he had said. That is the most outspoken he had been since Eddy had tried to pull him into an utterly ridiculous and borderline illegal scam.

In the mirror Edd looked like a ghost or maybe a vampire was a better description. His face was pal with red rimmed eyes and purple black eye bags. Edd took out his concealer and perfected his makeup before throwing on his hat and the rest of his clothes. As he walked down the stars his heart lurched into his throat as there was a large banging on his front door.

Edd slowly inched to the door as he heard a familiar voice on the other side calling "Double Dee, its Ed. Eddy is not here today so we have to go to school alone."

The familiar voice caused the panic to rush from Edd as he all but ran to the door. As e swung open he was pulled into a bear hug by his big oaf of a friend. He hadn't forgotten his friend's confession of liking Rolf though and Edd wanted to support his accepting best friend.

The two boys walked to school almost as if nothing had changed, almost. They both felt it though, the absence of their third part missing. It was as if the life in the air was no longer. Eddy had always been the one to plan weekend events or keep the conversation between the three of them. Ed and Edd did not feel the need to always converse. They walked in a comfortably silent if not tense atmosphere. The boys subconsciously stood closer together as if to close the awkward space that was typically filled by the smallest of the Eds.

Upon their arrival the boys shared a quick hug before going their separate ways to their classrooms. Edd felt a little bad for his friend since he had to share his class with Eddy, but at least Ed had only come out to him. Edd wouldn't carelessly spill his secret to other people. Edd on the other hand had his classes with Rolf and with Ed's confession and Rolf's on Facebook; he wasn't completely sure how to look at the blue haired farm boy.

Edd braced himself for the onslaught of middle school bullying as he walked to his locker. He could hear whispers and feel people staring but it was nothing he wasn't used to so far. His locker had a few scribbles on it and a few pieces of paper taped to it full of harsh words or explicit pictures of men. Edd was expecting this so he wasn't surprised to find these things. After opening his locker he pulled out a Windex bottle of homemade cleanser and sprayed his locker before wiping it off with a cloth. This was one of the few times Edd was lad he was a germaphobe. He always had some type of cleaning supply on him in case it was needed. After placing down his books and getting his necessary homework for the day he spotted a paper taped to the inside of his locker. Edd was completely confused as to how it got there but it stated one of his few nicknames: Double Dweeb. He instantly knew it was from Kevin and he shoved it into his pocket so that he could look at it in the classroom. Edd made sure to grab everything he would need for all of his classes as he noticed that he forgot to pack a lunch. He scavenged his pockets and counted the change. He had just enough o buy one of the school lunches and although they were unhealthy, Edd skipped breakfast and knew he would be hungry by the time lunch came around. Edd had planned to eat his lunch in his classroom with his teacher so he didn't have to face the people of the cafeteria. Now he was going to have to find someone to sit with and he hoped it wouldn't be hard.

Edd heard the warning bell ring and decided it would be best to focus on class for now and worry about everything else when the time came. Edd hated doing that and preferred to have his day planned out before hand but today wasn't going to be an ordinary day. Edd entered the classroom and people lanced up before going back to their work like nothing happened. He was thankful that the honors classes were normally more mature than the other middle school students. When Edd sits in his seat he still has time before the class starts to read Kevin's letter.

Edd,

Sit with me at lunch so it's not awkward. I'll protect you for today only so I look cool in front of Nazz. And you better not chicken out of our project because I still don't know anything about the topic.

-K

Edd couldn't help but smile at the letter even if Kevin was only doing it to gain his crush's attention. Edd was happy he wouldn't have to awkwardly walk around to find a spot to eat at lunch. Edd looked up at the clock and noticed that the teacher was late. He was probably in a meeting before class and it ran overtime. Rolf, as the class leader took over the class and informed everyone that the teacher was in fact in a meeting and to take out our homework for when he returned.

What Edd did not expect was what the teacher was going to do when he entered the classroom. This was something that shocked everyone.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sorry that this is so short but as a fifteen year old girl, I have to do as my parents say. Merry Christmas! I will fill in everything in the next chapter which will hopefully be longer and move the plot along a bit more.
