Edd's POV

In kindergarten it was a cute nickname, in primary school it became annoying but funny.

But now it's highschool an it's become another word for fatass.

When I was in kindergarten, I would hand out candy to the class. I always had a couple sweets on me. Sure, I was a bit chubby, but people were less judging in kindergarten.

At least, they wouldn't voice their judgement back then.

"Candy what do have today?"

"Candy boy, give me a lolly!"

My name to them was Candy boy, and the only thing that stopped me being picked on was the sweets I used to bribe the bullies.

I was playing hide and seek with my best friend Matt and a kid named Tord.

Tord was... Strange. I'd like to consider him my friend, but I don't think he'd return the sentiment.

Tord was in, which was terrifying for a little kindergartner. But today I was determined to win.

Behind the playground in our school is handball court, and behind there was a conveniently climbable tree.

We weren't allowed to climb the tree, but the teachers didn't give a shit. Nowadays even I, the so-called "fat ass" could climb it in in a couple heartbeats, but to a small chubby kindergartner, it was quite a feat.

When I made it up to a nice forked branch with big clusters of leaves to mask my presence, I settled in to wait for Tord to give up on looking for me.

Five minutes had passed before I heard it. Someone crying? I looked around for Tord, before clambering down to look for the source of the noise.

Sure enough, sitting beneath the tree was a boy about my age at the time. He had weird spiky hair, and was wearing a yellow shirt with blue overalls. I couldn't gather much more information as he was hugging his knees to his chest and had his head down.

"Hello?" I called out.

The boy started, and looked around. His eyes were tightly shut.

"You won't be able to see me if your eyes are shut, silly!"

He opened his eyes for a split second, but he shut them again.

"Hurts." He whispered.

I walked towards him slowly, and crouch in front of him. I put my hand on his shoulder. He flinches ever so slightly.

"Come on, I'll take you to the sick bay." I tried to grasp his hand and lead him there, but he pulls it away.

"Why won't you come with me? They'll stop your eyes from hurting."

He still refuses to come with me. I don't know what else to do, so fish a small zip lock bag from my pockets and take out a gummy bear. I pull his hand and press the gummy into his palm.

"Stay here, I'm getting a teacher."

He stays silent, so I jog off to the nearest teacher on playground duty.

Luckily, the the teacher on duty was Miss Siddle, my favourite teacher. I brought her over to the boy, and we took him to the sick bay.

I don't remember much else because I stopped paying attention when we were walking, but I do remember his name; Tom.

I never saw Tom again.

Until NOW DUN DUN DUNNNNNN.

So yea, this is my new story that I'll probably abandon like Through the Wall and Swap but hey let's try this one.
