~Mirror Boy~

~Speaking in the Starlight~

Edd sat himself down at his desk. The desk itself was nice, the spruce colouring of it slightly hid the Cola stains that accidentally happened when he moved his arm and ripped them over.

There were crushed cola cans all over the ground. Mostly near his bed and workspace. Cola was his only item he used for stress besides drawing.

The stack of assignments he had been given from teachers seemed to rip as his patience. All his papers had messy scribbles in the margins as usual. He was stressed beyond his mind and he had been panicking all week.

Edd really didn't see the point in exams. For all they were worth they would mean nothing to him when he would be applying for college. More specifically an animation course.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound at his window.

Knock knock.

Edd turned his attention to his window. Did he really hear that?

He already had his suspicions of what made the sound. It was obvious.

He got up from his green swivel chair and walked towards his window and opened it.

The boy he was talking to earlier on, Matt, was sitting on his the frame of his own window, his foot hanging off the outside of the window.

He was wearing a pastel blue sweater this time, one of the sleeves sliding off from his left shoulder. He wore some light purple shorts that only went to the middle of his thighs. His shiny, ginger hair was combed up.

His crystal blue eyes seemed to glow better with his soft caramel skin this time of night.

In his hands was a packet of heart sweets.

"Evening, Cola Boy,"

"What do you mean evening? It's midnight."

Matt checked the time on his purple watch.

"Actually past midnight. What I meant to say was good morning, Cola Boy."

"Good morning, Mirror Boy" He smiled as he leaned himself on the window frame. The green paint was cracking and peeling.

"What are you doing up at this time?" Matt asked curiously.

"Studying for exams. You?" Edd asked.

"Can't sleep. Thinking too much about the stars." Matt paused. "Tonight's so clear and it's been so long since I've seen them. Aren't they beautiful?" He said, smiling.

Edd looked up. The sky was indeed clear. It wasn't often that Edd got to see the stars. They never took his interest.

"I don't see the beauty in them. They're just balls of gas"

"Its not about the inside that matters." Matt said as he took out his mirror and started admiring himself. "Its the outside that counts."

Edd laughed. "Usually people say that the other way round. Y'know, the inside that counts"

"Well I guess that means I'm unusual" Matt smiled.

He placed his mirror gently down on his dressing table.

"See those three stars up there? In a line?"

Edd looked up to where Matt was pointing. He could see three in a line but his poor hair style blocked his field of vision from seeing the entire line.

"Yea, I do"

"That's called Orions Belt" Matt said "The guys name was actually Orion. Sometimes it's called the Three Kings or the Three Sisters."

Edd smiled "I'll just call it the Three Kings." He fidgited around his his hands.

"Well, I'm a king, you're my king. Who'll be the third?" He asked.

Edd was blushing madly. His was twirling his fingers and wiggling his toes. He had to get out of this soon.

"Umm...  Ringo can be one!" He said, laughing nervously.

Matt giggled. "Of course he can! How could I forget him!"

Edd could feel himself start to shake. He yawned and stretched his arms above his head.

"I've got to sleep now. See you tomorrow Mirror Boy?" He asked.

Matt nodded "I'll be right here Cola Boy. Have a good night!"

Matt waved one last final time as he bid ado to his Cola Prince.
