12:45pm Edd's house
Outside the rustling wind howled making the house shake. The moon was hidden behind the dark clouds emanating a slight glow. The eerie night kept the neighborhood silent and tamed unknown to the storm that was approaching.
"Oh dear. I should have left the heater on…" Edd shivered huddling under his blankets. Laying on his side he stared at nothing. He turned all the lights in his house off wanting to drown himself in darkness. His eyes started to water and tears slid from the corners of his eyes. He wiped them away roughly. "Goodness tears? How childish…"
BUZZ
Edd ignored his phone.
BUZZ
He turned away from his phone.
BUZZ
Annoyed he turned over quickly to check his phone. (3 New Messages- Kevin The King)
Kevin The King: Idk if your asleep already but ya know tomorrow we have to go to the beach? To do our experiment. If that's cool with you. Meet me at the parking lot at 3.
Kevin The King: btw sorry I texted you so late hopefully your asleep. I know you must still be mad at me. Don't worry I won't bother you unless it's about school stuff.
Kevin The King: btw no matter what I'm here for you.
Edd chest hurt reading the last message. He felt a sharp ache poke at his heart. He tossed his phone to the side and hid under his blankets. He shut his eyes forcibly trying to sleep. His breathing started out soft then it turned into a heavy sob. He burst into tears. He cried clenching his chest tightly.
Kevin…I curse the day you got entangled in my life…I curse your alluring charm, talent…and particularly your…kindness…you are too kind…for me…
1:00am- Kevin's House
"URGHHHHHHH. He hasn't texted back. What the FUCKKKKKKK. Why is he even MAD? WHY? URGHHHH?" Kevin stomped back and forth around his room, ruffling his hair in anger. "What did I do wrong? Kevin! Think man! Think! Oh god…I'm talking to myself."
"KEVIN! KEVIN BART GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW." Mrs. Bart shouted from downstairs.
"urgggggggggggggggggggggggggggh." Kevin grudgingly walked downstairs to his obviously angry mother.
"Kevin what is this?" She pointed toward the coffee table. Kevin taking a moment to find what she was pointing at.
"What are you talking about?"
"This. The phone bill!?" She took an envelope and shoved it to Kevin's chest.
Kevin opened it and read the bill. PAST DUE…blah blah…$359… His eyes became wide.
"$359?!"
"Kevin didn't I tell you to use my card and pay for the phone bill last month?"
Kevin took a moment to remember…then it hit him.
"Shit." He cursed quietly.
"Kevin! I am so mad at you mister. You know they add extra charges when you pay bills late! Let me see your phone. I'm confiscating it."
"Mom come on. I need it for school."
"Either your car or your phone choose or I. Will. Take. Both."
"God damn it." He dug into his pocket taking out his phone. Before giving it to her he checked for any messages. Nothing. Fuck Edd. He handed his phone over.
"Until I'm not mad at you I'll give back your phone. Do not even think about causing any more trouble Kevin Bart."
She waved him away.
Kevin stomped back to his room and flopped onto his bed sluggishly. He took his shirt off and threw it to a random corner. He quickly kicked off his jeans leaving his briefs. Shutting his eyes he tried to fall sleep.
Edd's mad at me and no phone to contact him. Nice. Tomorrow is going to be just great…
6:30am- Edd's house
Birds chirped piercingly outside as Edd felt the sun hit his face. In annoyance he hid under his blankets trying not to acknowledge that it was morning.
His alarm went off cueing Edd to get up and get ready for school. Tossing to his side he ignored the alarm till it automatically turned to snooze.
"Honey. Wake up."
Edd groaned continuing to sleep.
"EDD. WAKE UP. YOU WILL NOT BE LATE TO SCHOOL."
Edd lifted his eyes slowly revealing his mother.
"MOTHER." Edd startled fell off his bed. His head hit the floor with a thud. Edd's mom stood with her arms crossed in irritation. Her height stood at a daunting 6'2 ft. Her wavy black hair flowing down her shoulders framed her face neatly. The round black glasses covered much of her aging face. Her nose held high giving a sense of superiority to all those around her.
"Edd straighten up immediately."
Edd still shocked stood weakly. Smiling. He ran to his mother and hugged her tightly.
"Oh how I have missed you."
"Dear what is wrong? Were you lonely?" She returned the hug lovingly.
"A little." He ended the hug and stood back.
"DEARY! What happened to your eyes?" She reached out examining Edd's eyes in concern. She rubbed the area as if it was makeup.
Edd didn't know how to respond. His chest stung.
I am in pain…My heart is torn into thousands of pieces…I cried myself to sleep…I am in agony…
"I was studying last night! I became fascinated about lights and their waves…but sadly I failed to get adequate sleep…"
"Edd you need to get a certain amount of sleep every night. Although I am proud of you for your passion in your studies…I want you to take care of yourself."
"Yes mother."
"Now hurry up and head to school. When you come home we will have dinner at Mrs. Bart's house. We need to return our thanks for taking care of you in times of emergency."
She left walking down the stairs leaving Edd to groan in exasperation.
Dinner with Kevin will be tremendously uncomfortable…
"For once I do not want to attend school." Sluggishly he dragged himself to the bathroom. Looking into the mirror he gasped taken back at the sight he saw.
"Oh dear." Strands of hair curved and angled out in opposite directions resembling a bird's nest. His eyes were irritated and red along with his eye bags that sagged a bit. Paler then usual he knew his cheeks lacked color. He felt sore from his neck to his back.
"Oh dear. I can sense that today is a unscrupulous day."
After showering and getting dressed he headed downstairs to the smell of eggs.
"Good morning. Eddward." In a stern voice his father greeted him.
"Good morning Sir." Edd avoided eye contact and didn't display any emotion.
"What happened at school?" His father short and stout eyed him behind thin circled glasses. He was referring to the finger incident.
"I...uh was participating in a friendly game of basketball. Then I…tripped and fell over the ball." Edd knew he sucked at lying but he wanted to avoid telling the truth.
"How disappointing. Son you know people like us aren't athletes. You should be more careful. Stick to your studies and work hard to be a doctor. I and your mother don't work hard for you to slack off." He dismissed Edd waving him away.
"Yes sir."
Edd headed out the door relieved to get away from his father. He sighed. The sky was clear, the sun warmed your skin and the chilly morning weather hinted that winter was near.
Gripping his messenger bag he started on his way to school.
7:20am- Kevin's House
Kevin groaned. Sitting up suddenly he stretched and kicked off his blankets. Kevin's eyes squinted from the sun, his back slumped and his hair was a mess. Kevin would have been naked if not for a pair of boxer shorts. Hearing the birds chirp outside his window he groaned in annoyance grabbing a pillow to block out the noise. He fumbled on his bed looking for his phone. Then he realized…
"SHIT." He woke up immediately looking at his bedroom clock. 7:35am
"GOD DAMN IT. 10 minutes! Are you kidding me?" He jumped out of bed putting on a pair of ripped jeans and a clean-ish hoodie. Running to the bathroom he skipped brushing his teeth and reached for water to tame his hair. Heading towards his room to get his backpack he tripped hitting the solid wood floor. Getting up holding his newly injured nose he grabbed his backpack. Running down the stairs he grabbed his keys heading towards his truck. He ran his fingers through his wet hair feeling a bit unusual.
"URGH." He ran back inside and grabbed his red baseball cap from the couch. "Kevin you need to get your shit together."
As he started his car his tires screeched then he sped away heading towards school.
7:33am September 11th Friday Biology Mr. Bolly's Classroom
Edd sat close to the window staring outside ignoring the noise around him. The leaves fell effortlessly dancing with the wind. Edd smiled.
How splendid we have a test today. No labs means no group work…no Kevin…
"What are you so happy about pumpkin?" Mat smiled taking a seat next to Edd.
"Oh…nothing in particular. I am simply eager about today's test. Ha. I can hear how lame I sound."
"Nah its cool man. I feel like I'll ace it too. It was easy to remember the material. By the way you don't mind me sitting next to you right?" Mat smiled giving off a pleasant ambiance making you feel warm inside. His smooth dark skin was glowing, his strong cheekbones were perfectly sculpted and his eyes clear and brown. Edd noticed the way he spoke was mannered, polite and he seemed to not mind the judgmental glances. Edd could sense the people look at the two strangely.
"You may sit if you'd like…although are you alright with sitting with someone like me?" Edd knew he was pitying himself.
"Why wouldn't I want to sit next to you? Why? Because people are going to look at us weird? Who cares? I like you pumpkin." Mat winked. Edd blushed burying his face into his arms.
Ding Dong Ding Dong- 1st period begins
Mr. Bolly walked in casually with his suitcase and laptop. He settled his things on his desk.
"Good morning students. Lucky for you today is a test day. Mathew pass this around to everyone." Handing a stack of papers to Mat he sat behind his desk getting started on attendance. Mat started handing out papers from the front to the back.
"I suppose Kevin will barge into the room at any moment." As if predicting the future the door burst open and Kevin rushed in panting.
"My bad I didn't…" He paused trying to catch his breath.
"Save your excuse Mr. Bart. Sit and be quiet."
Kevin quickly head towards Edd. Stopping he saw that there was already a backpack on the seat.
"Who's sitting here?" Kevin asked Edd slightly irritated. Edd avoided eye contact and felt his voice give out. His mouth opened forming words but nothing audible came out.
"I'm sitting there." Mat smiled handing Kevin the test. Mat sat down leaving Kevin shocked.
What the fuck. This is my seat. DUDE. I'm going to murder you later!
Dumbfounded Kevin walked towards the back. He spotted a seat next to Nazz and settled there. Grumbling to himself he sat with his armed crossed.
"Dude why are you always late? Hey? Are you mad?" Nazz worried patted Kevin on the back.
"Leave me alone." Kevin mumbled.
Edd watched from afar and felt his heart tinge. He couldn't hear them but he saw that Nazz was touching Kevin affectionately.
Class continued in silence. The test lasted till the bell rang. As everyone packed up to leave Kevin stayed behind waiting. Edd fumbled with his things, trying to pack his stuff inside his bag, then his hand slipped making his papers fly everywhere. Crouching down to pick up his papers he saw a figure loom over him.
"Hey let me help you." Mat crouched starting to collect the papers making a stack.
"Oh dear. Mathew you are a saint. Thank you." Edd smiled.
Kevin stood only a feet away ready to help but he was too late. Walking off he didn't look back and just stomped away.
Edd took a quick glance as Kevin left. He frowned.
"What's wrong?" Mat asked.
"Oh. Nothing at all. I'm quite alright." Edd knew Mat could hear the depression in his voice. "Thank you Mathew."
"You know if you need someone to talk to…uh…I'm not a bad person…um…" Mat stuttered.
"Thank you. I must head to my next class. I will keep that in mind Mathew." Edd bowed his head and scurried off out the classroom and into the sea of students.
DING DONG DING DONG- Lunch 11:34am
Edd sat under the tree in silence. Looking around him he noticed Marie running up the hill panting.
"Greetings! Marie why are you in such a hurry?"
Marie ignored Edd and went straight into a bear hug. Squeezing Edd to the point of suffocation.
"Dude where were you yesterday? I couldn't get in contact with you?! I was so worried." Letting go she examined Edd closely. "WHY ARE YOUR EYES SO SWOLLEN?"
"Please don't point them out." Edd shyly hid his eyes. "Yesterday I was forced to go along with…Kevin…"
"KEVIN FOR WHAT?"
"It was quite an adventure. I beg of you to not ponder anymore." He begged.
"URGH. You never kept secrets from me."
"I'm refraining from sharing my predicament because I wouldn't want to trouble you with something so insignificant."
"Well…I won't bother you about it but when you are ready tell me everything. Okay?"
"I'm sorry." Edd hung his head down looking at the ground.
"No worries man." She smacked his back playfully.
"Oh! TODAY IS MOVIE NIGHT! My house at 7."
"Um…Today I have a dinner to attend. My parents have come home."
"Really! Aye I should come over and say hi."
DING DONG DING DONG- Lunch is over
"Fuck I didn't even get to eat!"
"Language Marie!"
Together they ran down the hill to the entrance of the building. As they entered the school crowds of students blocked the way. Marie being the forceful women she is held onto Edd's hand dragging him through the crowd. Edd being clumsy as always hit someone with his messenger bag. He didn't see whom he hit but he heard a yelp of pain and a loud groan from the impact. Marie continued to drag him along leaving no time to stop and apologize.
"You're DEAD MEAT DORK."
Edd heard this shout over the crowd of people and felt goosebumps. He knew the threat was towards him but he didn't know who from.
4th period Calculus- Mrs. Tulli gave a pop quiz which made Edd feel better but he still felt a sense of danger.
5th period Culinary Arts- The assignment was Banana bread which delighted Edd even more knowing that this dish was one of his favorites. As a TA though he spent more of his time helping others.
6th period P.E- The one class in which Edd dreaded with all his heart. The only struggle on life. Physical Education.
If only they allowed science classes as a P.E credit! Science is a lot of grunt work also!
Entering the locker room the smell of sweat, rubber and musk filled Edd's nostrils. Making him sick he quickly headed to his gym locker to grab his clothes. Hiding in the corner of the locker room careful as to not catch anyone's attention he started to change. When he started to remove his shirt he stopped.
"Hey Dork."
Edd jumped. Turning around he saw Josh looming over him. His face dark and intimidating.
"Uh…what would you like jo-"
Josh leaned in closer to Edd. He whispered into Edd's ear in a low-threatening tone.
"Thanks for hitting my groin during lunch." Josh leaned back and grabbed Edd by the throat. "You know you are really becoming an eye soar and I don't understand why Kevin is hassling us about bullying you."
He tightened his grip making Edd tear up and gasp for air. Edd struggled to breath hitting Josh's arm aggressively.
"I think you need to be taught a lesson on who is head honcho. Because it seems you have forgotten that I'm at the top and you are dirt. Dirt should stay on the ground. Your only use is to get stepped on." Josh let go leaving Edd to cradle himself gasping for air. Josh leaned down getting to eye level with Edd.
"After school meet me in the valley. If you aren't there…" Josh took out his phone. "I'll make everyday a living hell for you."
He got up and walked away laughing. Edd shivered feeling his heart race abnormally. Tears started to form but he wiped them away roughly. Getting up he headed to the gym.
TWEET "Ok sissies. Next week we will start the swimming course. So bring your stuff. Towel, shampoo and for the girls…uh yeah you know what to bring. ALSO the swim coach is looking for some boys to come try out. Try outs will be next week. Practices start the week afterwards. OKAY ENOUGH CHIT CHAT. Let's get right into the fun. Unfortunately basketball is no longer a safe sport to play so we'll be doing some volleyball. Get in pairs. OK. BREAK!"
Edd stood awkwardly next to the bleachers. Everyone was holding a grudge against Edd for ruining Basketball for the rest of the year and also at his discoordination.
"Hey pumpkin. You got anyone yet?" Mat smiled walking over gracefully. His dark skin glowed, his eyes sparkled and the way he smiled was heavenly.
"Uh not at all." He crossed his arms.
"Well let's team up then." He took Edd's arm and dragged him to the nearest empty net. Taking the ball he threw it over. "You serve first."
"Um I don't serve well…"
"Just do it! Hit it as hard as you can." Mat cheered.
"Alright." He steadied his hand swinging his arm back and forward making contact with the ball. The ball flew over the net touching it slightly but it went over. "I did it!"
Edd jumped with joy making Mat laugh.
"Aye nice serve pumpkin."
Kevin stared irritably at the two from a distance. He was helping Mr. G with moving stuff from the storage room so he wasn't playing volleyball.
What the hell man. Why are you smiling so much? Stop. God damn it. I fucking hate this. THAT SHOULD BE ME PLAYING VOLLEYBALL WITH YOU DORK. THAT SHOULD BE ME YOU'RE SMILING AT! URGH DORK. Just wait till afterschool!
