Vivian.

Friends?

Vivian and Rolf were talking, some other kids came up to Rolf, it was a girl and a boy. The boy was quite tall but not too tall, had ginger hair, a green sweater, black short and red baseball cap on backwards. The girl was not that much shorter than the boy, she had a short blonde cut with red lipstick on, a black shirt with a white tank top over it, purplish blue pants and black shoes. She seemed like a nice girl while The boy seemed he had short of an attitude.

"Ah, Hello my friends!" Rolf turned his attention to the other two kids.

"Hey Rolf!" The girl waved at Rolf.

"Sup Rolf." The boy did the same.

"Who's that?" The girl said, gesturing towards Vivian.

"My friends, this is Vivian, yes?" Rolf turned to Vivian, The girl and the boy both waved.

Vivian waved shyly.

"Ain't that the creepy girl that lives in the old abandoned house next to Ed's house?" The boy asked.

"It is! Oh my god!" The girl said. "This is crazy, I mean, you rarely come out your house.." The girl added.

"I mean..Yea..I just don't really like being outside that much.." Vivian said.

"I get it, some people just don't like being outside like that, My name's Nazz, That's Kevin, and I'm sure you know Rolf." Nazz said as she gestured to the two boys.

Vivian nodded. "Nazz..pretty name.." Vivian said.

"Ah thanks, I like your name too, It suits you!" Nazz said, examining Vivian's apparel. 

"Oh..Well thanks.." Vivian said.

"You're quiet. Why?" Kevin asked.

"Oh..I just don't like really talking that much.." Vivian said, fidgeting with her fingers.

"How do you make friends like that, I mean, Don't you want friends?" Kevin said, while crossing his arms and raised an eyebrow.

Vivian shrugs.

"So you don't know?" Kevin said.

"I mean..I guess so.." Vivian said, she then cleared her throat. "Sorry, my throat felt dry."

"No worries dude." Kevin said.

*Meanwhile...*

"Hey..those are OUR suckers! What's so cool about her?" Eddy complained.

"I mean..she is nicer than you Eddy..besides..she never really gets out that much, so this could be a really big thing for her.." Edd said, trying to calm Eddy down.

"Come on boys, we're getting our customers back." Eddy said as he started marching towards the group, with Edd and Ed following behind him. 

The three boys headed over to the group, Eddy, with the intent of getting those "Suckers" for his scam, while Edd tried to steer him away from causing a scene, and Ed..just being Ed. The Ed's stopped in front of the group.

"Hey, Suckers, What's the big deal with creepie here?!" Eddy shouted.

Rolf, Kevin, Nazz and Vivian turned to Eddy. 

"Look, who it is, Dork, Dorky and Dorker." Kevin teased.

"Be nice Kevin." Nazz said as she pinched Kevin on his arm, making him let out a small ouch sound.

"Look, we got a business to run here, so you!" As Eddy walks towards Vivian, he trips on his shoelace and falls face first into the pavement.

"Eddy, I told you tie your shoelaces.." Edd says as he facepalms himself, Ed then starts to laugh really loud, followed by Edd.

 "It is a bit funny though.." Edd says as he lets a chuckle. 

Then Kevin, Nazz, and Rolf start to laugh. Eddy sits up noticing everyone laughing at him. 

Vivian just looks at everyone laughing at Eddy while he was still on the ground. Vivian and Eddy made eye contact for a minute as the laughter grew louder. I mean, why wouldn't they laugh, they're kids, they laugh at anything, even someone getting embarrassed. Eddy got up and ran home. Vivian wanted to go after him and check on him but she felt stuck, like her feet were glued to the sidewalk. She felt trapped, like she couldn't do anything to help the situation, all she could do was just stand there, and LAUGH.

*At night..*

Eddy laid in his bed, thinking about the whole incident earlier. He usually embarrassed himself quite a few, but not THIS bad..Everyone was laughing at him, even that weirdo Vivian. Which made him mad to no end. Meanwhile..Vivian was sitting in her bed, feeling awful about not helping Eddy, she wanted him to not hate her but now she knows he REALLY hates her. Vivian wanted to make things right between the two, She got up out of bed and went downstairs, just as she opened the door, she heard a loud ouch noise.

"Oh my are you..." Vivian widened her eyes when she realized Eddy was at the door.

"What the heck was that for?!" Eddy said.

"My apologies, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you wer-" Then she was rudely interrupted.

"Look, I don't know who you think you are but what happened back there wasn't funny, everyone laughing at me cause I tripped, you didn't even help me!" Eddy said.

"Trust me, I wanted to hel-" Vivian was interrupted again.

"Look, just because you finally got a big shot at making friends, don't mean you can just be a dweeb about it." Eddy said, pointing his finger in the middle of her chest.

Vivian then felt a shockwave go through her body. "Don't touch me!" Vivian shouted, pushing Eddy away.

"Ow!" Eddy fell flat on his butt. "What's your problem creepie, can't handle a little touch?" Eddy said, tauntingly.

"I just don't like being touched..sorry for pushing you.." Vivian said, while fidgeting with her fingers again.

Eddy got curious now. "What's up with the fidgeting, and the house? I mean, ya barely come out of there. Don't you got parents to force you to come out?" Eddy asked as he got up and dusted himself off.

"I just fidget when I'm nervous, calms me down..I guess.." Vivian says. "And the house..I mean..my parents, they've been away on a trip for a while.." Vivian adds.

"In a house like this? yikes, your parents definitely don't like you." Eddy said sarcastically.

"Hey! Don't talk about my parents like that..They just.." Vivian didn't really know what to say, I mean, they never really showed her much love and I mean, all 4 years she's lived here, she never really understood why her parents left her here.

Eddy noticed a slight change in her demeanor. "Hey..look..I know we got off on the wrong foot.." Eddy started to scratch the back of his name. "I'm sorry..about..earlier..and the stuff I said..I was just a bit mad..but.." Eddy cleared his throat. "Please forgive me.." Eddy said.

"Huh? Oh..why of course, I forgive you.." Vivian said, as she stepped closer to Eddy. "I'm sorry for not helping you when everyone was laughing you, I wanted to, I really did, but I just felt stuck, like I couldn't do anything, I-" Vivian was immediately shushed.

"Alright, Alright, don't get all sappy now. We ain't friends, got it? we just calling a truce." Eddy said, crossing his arms.

"Oh, yea yea of course!" Vivian said.

Eddy looked at Vivian then took one look at her house. "..You wanna come sleep at my place for the night..?" Eddy said, sounding a bit stubborn.

"Oh..! Well..um..I would..but I gotta take care of the house..but thanks for the offer.." Vivian says.

"Huh? I mean..yea yea..alright..I'll see you tomorrow." Eddy said.

"Alright..see you tomorrow..." Vivian said as she went back inside her house. 

Eddy started to walk towards his house, growing more curious about Vivian, what secrets did she have to hide..?
