~Eddie's POV~
God, every morning is just like this. I'm sick of it! I can't have my only friend get tripped up like this every morning!
I already trip enough in the morning with the wiring my computer has.
This is ridiculous, and I want it to stop, now. But too bad Nick is an asshole and will make it his life goal to make both of our lives miserable. I sighed and leaned my head back. My eyes shot open, remembering.
Oh yeah!! I brought the candy for Aleks and I today!
We don't have to worry about people not giving us candy because we're gonna have our own, and we won't even share.
I perked up remembering the fact I had stuffed all the candy into a Walmart bag and into my backpack. I also made sure to bring some playing cards because we're probably gonna end up watching chick-flicks all day today during class.
"Hey! I remembered the candy!" I chimed, making Aleks snap out of his thoughts and smile happily.
"Oh, sweet! What did ya bring this year?" He asked excitedly.
I pulled out the plastic-bag out of my backpack and tossed it to Aleks, who opened it instantly and stared, amazed, at all the variety at candy. They ranged from Snickers to Skittles, Sour Patch Kids to Jolly Ranchers, Lollipops and Hershey's to Twix.
I had managed to beg my mom yet again this year for all the candy, for she had also known about the whole having only one friend thing.
I know it breaks her heart, but what can I do? I'm not going to go out there and be a fake, just for friends. Aleks and I have each other anyway. It sounds so pathetic saying it, ah well...
"Dude! We're gonna have so much left over for tonight!!" he laughed, taking out a Reese's Cup mini, unwrapping it, and popping it into his mouth. He smiled happily, eating the candy.
No way was this day gonna suck as Nick and his dumb friends thought it was going to for us. We are going to make sure they don't win today, taking shortcuts to classes and the long way to the Cafeteria, anything it takes to avoid him for today. We do not need our mood to be spoiled like yesterday.
I grabbed a mini Snickers, unwrapped it, and ate it as we pulled up to the school, laughing and talking to Aleks about how we were going to avoid Nick all day, our game plan basically.
We got our usual annoyed looks as we hopped off the bus, candy bag in hand and walked off to our usual out door table.
Behind our 8th grade building, there are 2 rows of 3 tables that we always sit at, every morning until the bell rings for homeroom.
This morning however, looked disgusting.
Along the way, the out door side walk we were on was covered in chalk hearts and red and pink ribbons were dangling from the trees and they somehow managed to get the entire school to smell like roses...
Neither of us brought up the fact.
"Oh my gosh dude! Did you see Markiplier's new video?!" Aleks said setting his backpack beside him as I sat down across from him.
"Oh my gosh, YES! He was playing The Stanley Parable!! That shit's fucking weird!!" I laughed grabbing another candy from, practically, the bottomless bag.
We talked for what seemed like hours and decided we should try to record some videos while I'm at Aleks' house!
We were gonna record ourselves playing Super Smash Bros.
*RIIING!!! RIIING!!!*
"Aw shit, we're gonna be late... Come on we gotta take the quick way so we don't bump into Nick," I said quickly, grabbing Aleks' arm and pulling him away.
"Shit, he's probably upfront anyway..." He said, holding on to his beanie with his free hand.
"That's why we're taking the teacher door!" I laughed.
Nick usually waits for us at the entrance of the building but we're taking the teacher door today, even if we have to get caught.
I push open the rather large door on the barren side of the building and push it open, seeing Mr. Gibson.
"Eddie? Aleks? You know you can't be using this doo-"
"We couldn't take the entrance because Nick is waiting for us there!" I said pulling Aleks inside and adjusting my glasses, releasing Aleks.
Mr. Gibson sighs, nodding his head in understanding.
He motioned his hand to the door, leading to the hallway.
"Thanks, Mr. Gibson!!" Aleks and I sang in unison, running off to homeroom.
"This is the last time boys!" He says as we run off to our class, just as the bell rings again.
We run into our homeroom, just as our teacher was about to close it.
"Almost late, yet again, you two. Next time I won't let you in my classroom. Sit down." Our teacher barked at us as we made our way to our seats as the students around us continued to talk amongst themselves, trading their candies and eating them as the spoke.
We sat down in the back of the room, just like every morning, except this morning niether of us were limping.
Ah, yes. It felt good not worrying about another bruise I had to hide from my mother.
Same goes for Aleks.
Why hadn't we thought of dodging Nick in the morning before?
Aleks and I seperated the candy into 2 piles and we took the candy we wanted and traded the candy we had with the candy the other person wanted. Then these two girls in our class, Domi and Eva I think, come up to us, bag in hand.
"Happy Valentines Day, guys!" Domi said, handing me a heart shaped lollipop while Eva hands one to Aleks, they had our names on them and everything! They even spelled Aleks' name right, by what I could tell.
"Wow! Gee thanks, guys! Here, you can have these!" I laughed handing both of them a pink wrapped mini snickers.
They smiled at us and walked off back to there desks.
"Wow... That's a first..." Aleks said, looking at the candy he had recived.
"Yeah, I didn't want to look like a dick, so I gave them something too," I said, tossing the candy into my small pile.
"Too bad they both have boyfriends..." Aleks says sadly. "They're both really cool and I've seen their friends around, but they all have jocks for boyfriends, we were lucky enough to even have gotten anything from them!" Aleks was starting to get bummed out.
"Who needs a girlfriend, when you have a shit ton of candy, a best friend to share it with, and a sleep over afterwards to top it off?!" I laughed, gathering up my candy and putting it back in my bag and Aleks putting his in his own.
The bell rang, signaling English, our first class of the day, fuck me sideways.
