Down The Block (EddMatt)

Sky Eyes

                                       The school bell rang announcing lunch. Teens of each grade came flooding out from every classroom.  Edd had previously been in language arts class. His teacher was oddly more nice then he expected. As he expected he got nobody he knew in his class. Also, as he expected...He made no friends so far. He wouldn't be surprised if he ended up eating his lunch alone, in a bathroom stall like in the movies. Unfortunately at that point it was his plan. Edd opened his locker and opened up his brown colored backpack. He grabbed his lunch and shut his locker door. Eduardo, trying to scared Edd was on the other side of the door so once it shut he just waited for Edd to see him. But just to Eduardo's luck, Edd didn't even see him. In fact Eduardo had to run to catch up. Once Edd was in reach he grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. 

                                       "There you are, you big loser." Eduardo growled acting like he wasn't chasing after him. 

                    "Hello Eduardo...." Edd mumbled. 

                    "Who are your teachers?" Eduardo questioned as they began to walk down the white locker filled hallway.

                    "Well I got Ms. Stor mutter for french, Mr. Adam for language arts, Mr. Cooper for math, and Mrs-"

                    "Hold that thought Edd." Eduardo smiled..But not a good smile... "Do you see that tall kid with the orange hair? The guy with the two other geek friends?" 

                    "Um...Yeah?" Edd gave Eduardo a weird look.

                    "So apparently that's Marks brother.. He hasn't talked about him because he's apparently too much of an embarrassment."

                    "Um...A little harsh but..Okay? Edd frowned a little.

                    "Hold up there's one thing...And it's absolutely hilarious! He was apparently bullied out of his old middle school, but Mark doesn't know what they did." 

                    Edd arched an eyebrow confused. Why did he find that funny, he wondered...

                    "So me and Mark have an idea..But we need your help...." Eduardo smirked.

                    "I'm listening?" Edd mumbled even questioning himself.

                    "We need you to befriend him..Of course not actually though he's more of a wimp then you are. We need you to fake befriend him so that you can find out what happened to that loser. Let's never let him hear the end of what happend.." Eduardo smiled.

                    "Why?"  Edd sighed frowning more.

                    "I'll make it worth your while."

                     "Oh....Well...Okay...I gues-" Edd mumbled

                     "Great! Go talk to him and give me details later!" Eduardo interrupted most rudely as he shoved Edd in the direction of the tall ginger teen. Edd tripped and fell over, dropping his lunch, his art supplies, and sketch book. When he looked over his shoulder Eduardo was already gone.

                                 "Oh god! Are you okay?!" Edd heard a kind voice yelp in shock. "Here, get up." Edd looked up to see Mark's brother holding his hand down to help him up. Edd gladly took the hand of the friendly stranger. His hand was very warm, and covered in freckles. Once up Edd looked to see the two other friends picking up his stuff for him. One of them wore a red T-shirt and black pants. The thing that stood out the most to Edd was his hair. It had two spikes in the front that looked like horns. The other friend who was even shorter then the horned one wore a light blue long sleeved shirt, and grey pants. The thing that stood out the most about him was his eyes! He had black eyes that looked lifeless. He looked at the one who helped him up. He had orange hair that looked oddly soft, freckles spread across his cheeks and nose, he wore a lavender hoodie with knotted up drawstrings. The thing that stood out about him to Edd was once again the eyes. He had sky blue eyes that were bright. They reminded him of the winter oddly, considering they made him feel...Warm inside? Edd thought it was very weird.

                     "O-oh. I'm fine." Edd tripped over his words. Suddenly he realized the warmth on his hand that didn't go away since he was helped up. The sky eyed male was still hanging on to his hand. Edd pulled he hand away and gave an awkward smile.

                    "Oh dear I'm sorry! I didn't even introduce myself! My name is Mathew Hays! But you may call me Matt!" He said with a friendly wink. "That one's Tord." Matt pointed at the odd haired male who looked down at his feet. Edd had only now realized that he had heterochromia. One red eye and one grey. Jeez all these people had cool eyes.. Edd thought to himself. I simply have green eyes. "And that one's Tom!" Matt pointed at the shortest one who was now giving him his stuff. Tord had picked it up and gave it to Tom..Edd assumed that he was shy. Or maybe just lazy. "If I may ask, what's your name?" Matt smiled.

                  "Edd!" Edd said quickly feeling flushed. He had never felt this feeling before...It was very odd... 

                 "Edd!" Matt repeated the name smiling warmly. "Cute name!" The kind comment about his name made his heart skip a beat.  "Hey do you have any lunch plans?" He smiled once more. Edd did technically have lunch plans but first off is sucked. And even if it did he didn't care. He just had the urge to talk to the kind sky eyed wonder.   

                 "No I don't." Edd once again spoke quickly.

                "Well then come hang out with us!" Matt cheered not allowing his smile to fade away. "Right guys? Great idea?!"

                "I don't see why not." Tord mumbled to Tom, smiling. 

                "Sure." Tom said blankly. 

                "Alright then let's stop fooling around and go!" Matt announced holding Edd's hand again leading him through the halls.
