As We Grow. (KevEdd)

Chapter 10 - Halloween

Halloween morning is upon the children of the cul-de-sac and almost everyone is excited for the night ahead. The older kids were  anticipating the Halloween dance after school and the younger ones couldn't wait to go trick or treating. The only person who seemed un-enthused was Double D, the lanky teen just appeared bored with the whole holiday. While everyone else had decorated and prepared costumes for the evening Eddward was contemplating pretending to be sick after school to avoid helping Eddy with his haunted house.

Darn it I can't get out of it because it was technically my idea...drat!

Eddward was sitting at his kitchen table picking at the cantaloupe he had cut for breakfast. Finally deciding that procrastination wasn't going to help him he picked up his back pack and headed outside to go to school.

Kevin had walked outside at the same time. As the older boy walked to his bike he watched Double D from lowered lids. Kevin had made it a habit to watch the slender boy anytime he was near enough. The ginger refused to think about why he couldn't seem to stop staring anytime he saw Double D.

After a couple minutes Kevin put on his helmet and got on his bike. He rode over to Nazz's house like he did everyday before school and waited for the blonde to come outside. It took almost ten minutes for Nazz to come out of her house. The girl walked over and hopped onto the back of the bike to go to school.

"What took you so long? I've been out here for like ten minutes. "

Kevin began pedaling in the direction of Peach Creek Junior High. Luckily the school was only about a half mile from the suburbs that the cul-de-sac was in.

"I couldn't decide which cat ears to wear. I need to look super cute cause I'm gonna try to convince Double D to skip out on whatever he has planned with Ed and Eddy."

Kevin just stops pedaling and looks over his shoulder in shock. He's just staring at the blonde for a few minutes with his mouth open like he wants to day something but can't remember what. Suddenly Ed runs past breaking the awkward moment.

" Kevin dude were late, coach gave us morning practice cause of Halloween! Come on! "

Having completely forgotten about the practice schedule changing, Kevin begins pedaling again. He forces himself to forget about what Nazz told him and goes as fast as he can to make up some time. He ends up passing Eddward but makes it to the bike rack at the same time as Edd.

" Nazz! Here is my bike lock and key, I gotta go just give it to me at lunch! "

Kevin takes off running to the locker room with out waiting for an answer. He skids into the door in his hurry, but still rushes in to change clothes. By the time he was on the field all the other players are doing stretches and Ed is doing bleacher sprints for being late.

Shit.... looks like I'll be joining Ed up there today...fuuuuuuuck.

As he walks into the field the coach turns around and notices him, with out even asking for an excuse he shouts at him.

" Barr, your late! Bleachers ,fifty! "

I knew it...

Kevin and Ed were almost done with their punishment when Ed started chatting as they ran up and down the bleachers. The conversation was fairly mundane at first but eventually Ed and Kevin started talking like friends instead of just talking about school and the weather. After a bit Ed asked what had happened between Nazz and Kevin on the way to school, since he had seen Kevin jerk to a stop and stare at Nazz like she was crazy earlier.

"Man I don't know, but Nazz is determined to get double dork to go to the Halloween dance with her even though he already said he was busy. She says she was gonna make him change his mind or something. "
