"Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear." Edd clumsily ran through the halls struggling through the flood of students headed in every direction. He held his calculus textbook along with a folder full of worksheets close to his chest. His messenger bag held 2 other textbooks along with his gym clothes which left little room for any more stuff.
Curse my attachment to this bag. It would be most wise to switch to a durable backpack like most people. Sigh.
Edd had calculus class next which was on the second floor. Running up the stairs he saw piles of food left behind on the steps. Nachos, half eaten apple, empty cartons of milk and banana peels! How dare they waste food? They should be- He slipped on a pile of BBQ sauce making him lose his balance and fall backwards from the top of the stairs. He felt the air escape his lungs when his body became airborne for a moment. Everything he held in his hands slipped out scattering as he fell. He closed his eyes waiting to hit the ground. He felt the impact of another person behind him. His head hit their face and Edd felt his body collide with the other both falling to the ground.
"That fucking hurt you little shit. You are so dead."
Edd stood up quickly tripping over his dispersed papers falling to his knees. He turned ready to apologize not taking notice of the other. He bowed his head in disgrace.
"My apologies! Forgive me for my inelegance! I hope you are not hurt." Edd felt a hand on his head push his head roughly down hitting the ground causing him to bite his tongue. "Ow."
"You should watch where you're going fucking nerd. Maybe you need to be taught a little lesson." The other lifted Edd by his hat making Edd follow suit. Edd gripped onto his hat for dear life not letting it go. His eyes widened when he saw who it was.
Jonathan Harris. Oh dear one of the many imbeciles that hate my guts. I was kind of hoping today would be peaceful.
Jonathan was known for his attitude and destructive behavior so people kept to themselves trying not to get involved. If he was reported one more time he would be kicked off the football team. So students didn't dare rat him out because they knew he would seek revenge. So people walked on as if everything was normal ignoring Edd and Jonathan altogether.
"Josh told me not to mess with you nerd. Saying shit like Kevin is after you. You're his target or something…maybe he has a hidden plan to mess with you. Whatever he won't notice that I battered you."
Edd tried to open his mouth in protest but felt a sharp ache from his wounded tongue.Blood overflowed from his mouth down to his chin when he opened his mouth in efforts to speak. The taste of iron filled his mouth.
Ow. I mustn't talk the pain will intensify. I feel the cut is rather deep. Oh dear I had to stumble into Jonathan of all people. Kevin is different from you monsters…or…is it all part of a meticulous plan…wrapping me around his finger…gaining my trust…
"HEY NERD. That fall must have hurt a lot. OH WAIT." Jonathan pulled Edd's face closer. Edd looked into his black depthless eyes speechless. "I TOOK THE FALL."
Jonathan threw Edd to the ground with all his strength. Edd skid across the floor hitting the hall to a stop. He shrieked at the sudden pain coming from his spine. He started to sob heavily.
ARGHH…my…my back…oh please...please tell me this pain is brief…
"OH did that hurt? This is going to hurt mor-"
Suddenly Jonathan was struck on the head with a hard brown object. Edd saw what hit Jonathan's head but it came and went as a blur. The object slowed and bounced against the ground to a stop. A…football? Jonathan let go of Edd and wildly looked around him. Down every hall it was empty. Everyone had scattered hurrying to class leaving Edd and Jonathan alone.
"WHO THE FUCK THREW THAT?! COME OUT NOW SO I CAN BEAT YOUR FACE IN!"
The sound of steps coming down the stairs surprised them both. He spun around ready with his fists in the air.
"YOU FUC…Kevin? Wtf man why'd you throw that football?!" Jonathan became more timid and spoke with caution.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kevin looked beyond pissed. His eyes were filled with hate. The way he walked down the stairs was slow and intimidating.
"What?"
"I said. What. Do. You. Think. You. Are. Doing?" Each word came out more vicious then the last. Leaving chills to those who heard it.
"Uh…I…I –cough- was teaching the nerd a lesson. The little fucker crashed into me."
Kevin looked at Edd who was curled on the floor in pain. As soon as they made eye contact tears started to form in Edd's eyes. Blood spilling from his mouth as he cried silently.
Kevin. Please just walk away. Why must you see me when I am so disheveled? I'm pathetic.
"Didn't Josh tell you to keep your fucking hands to yourself? I thought I made it fucking clear to stay away from Edd?"
"I don't get it man? Why's he so important?!"
Kevin stared at Jonathan trying to find the answer himself.
"He's…my servant. So back off." Kevin felt his heart ache. He knew he was making bullshit excuses. He wanted to protect Edd but he didn't want to ruin his image.
I'm such a fucking coward.
"He does all my work for me so he's special. You know I suck at science so this nerd is doing all my work for me. What would you do if I got kicked off the team for failing a class huh? So I need him safe got it?"
"Kev why didn't you say that. We thought you were actually friends with this nerd Haha." His voice shook with fright. "We'll back off no prob."
"To make this very clear. I don't want anyone else messing with him. Or…" Kevin cracked his knuckles laughing hysterically. "I might just go psycho crazy. This is the last warning or you'll regret messing with my dork."
"Bro this is my bad. Sorry…"
"Who the fuck are you apologizing to?" Kevin nodded his head at Edd aching on the floor. Jonathan felt his face boil but he was afraid to go against Kevin. Trembling with anger he turned to Edd.
"Sorry…"
"Leave. Now."
Jonathan walked off heading up the stairs kicking the left behind food on the stairs in anger. Muttering to himself as he disappeared up the stairs.
Kevin in an instant went to Edd's side hesitating to do anything hasty.
"Edd…hey…Edd…" Kevin touched Edd's shoulder lightly. Edd writhed. Pleading through his eyes he sobbed. The look in his eyes stabbed Kevin in the heart.
"It's going to be ok. Where does it hurt?"
Edd struggled to speak. He spoke wordlessly mouthing the words to Kevin. As his mouth moved his tongue tinged in pain.
"Ba…b-back? BACK. Ok can you get up and get on my back. I'll piggyback you." Edd nodded but he knew it would be difficult. Kevin got in position bending down low with his back faced towards Edd. Edd reached his arms out wrapping them around Kevin's neck tightly. Simultaneously Kevin raised himself allowing Edd to hold on as he slowly got up. Edd positioned his feet so it wrapped around Kevin's waist. His chin rested on Kevin's shoulder making the other tense.
Why is he so light? My gym bag weighs more than him. Edd's face is too close. Oh god. I can feel him breathing. Shit calm down I'm blushing.
"Ok I'm going to move now." Kevin slowly walked toward the nurse's office.
Always so generous…Kevin you are far to kind…I-I…
"H-HEY. Stay awake!" Kevin felt Edd start to slip backwards resulting in him leaning forward to keep Edd from falling backwards. "God damn it."
Kevin walked the rest of the way bent over at a 90 degree angle.
"Goodness. Two visits in two days? This must be a record. What happened?"
"He fell down the stairs and um h-he bit his tongue." Kevin fidgeted with his fingers sitting next to the sleeping Edd. Edd lay on the bed face down his head facing towards Kevin. "I just happened to be there to witness it."
"Really now. Well you may head to class now sweetie. He'll be fine after resting a bit and having an ice pack cool his back injury. Nothing serious."
"Uh I can't stay? I-I mean to help him get to class…"
"Hmmm I'm afraid not. He won't attend class that's for sure. You can visit him after school. Now off you go." She handed Kevin a pass to class.
Kevin started to walk up the stairs but he saw the mess that was left behind.
Edd's stuff. Ah. Dude. I'll just hold on it.
He began picking up the textbooks and the messenger bag. Gathering the scattered papers to an organized pile he saw Edd's phone. Looking at the regular iPhone he unlocked the phone to reveal the wallpaper.
Wow. A picture of the periodic table. What a dork…I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner…you just keep getting hurt...
DING DONG DING DONG- 2:05pm Schools over
The ringing echoed in Edd's head painfully. He got up slowly but gasped in pain falling onto his stomach.
"Woah. Dude be careful."
Edd shocked at seeing Kevin on his right side instantly he pulled his beanie over his face trying to hide.
"Are you alright?" Kevin lifted the beanie over Edd's eyes staring at him curiously.
"I-I" His tongue faintly ached. "K-Kevin."
The pain has subsided a bit. Why on earth is Kevin here? Oh dear CLASS?! I missed class!
Edd started to panic. His eyes filled with worry. As if Kevin can read minds he reached out to Edd patting his head gently. Slowly he removed Edd's beanie. Edd didn't protest. He was curious to what would happen next. Kevin ran his fingers through Edd's hair smoothing out the tangles.
His hair is so damn soft and smooth! Like the hair commercials. Hope he doesn't think I'm weird…he calmed down a bit though…
"Dude don't worry. I got all your class assignments for you and the nurse called the teachers to excuse your absence. I also have all your stuff in my car. It's all good. So chill out ok." Kevin continued caressing Edd's head.
Edd lay flat on his stomach defeated. There is nothing I can do. I'm such a burden to Kevin. The way he fondles my head. I don't deserve such kindness. I-It's soothing. Oh dear I can drift off…
"Yo. Edd. Hey? Damn it. Don't tell me you fell asleep?" Kevin pouted like a bulldog being scolded. He stared at Edd as he slept. Brushing aside Edd's bangs he exposed the scar on Edd's forehead. He traced his fingers across the scar humming to himself.
Ring Ring Ring Ring Kevin's phone went off and he quickly answered it in fear of waking up Edd.
"What the fuck. What do you want?"
"Wow. Someone is a little cranky. You should be thanking me for reminding you to get your butt to practice."
"Yeah Yeah Mat I'm coming." He hung up cutting Mat in mid-sentence.
"I'll come back and get you after practice." He whispered rubbing Edd's cheek softly. Kevin took out Edd's phone from his pocket setting it next to Edd. He put his fingers through Edd's hair once more then left.
