Cough Syrup [Discontinued]

Him

The autumn leaves fell close to the young male's window. His air conditioning blowing the curtains blocking the warm colors of the horizon.

The cold air bothered him enough to finally turn it off. Another day.

Beep Beep Beep

The sound of his alarm clock broke the silence. He shut it up before it woke up anyone in the house. He stretched and yawned whilst staring out the window.

"Edd, how long are you going to keep this up?" He mumbled. The teen got off of his bed and headed straight for the bathroom.

Soft trickles of water hit the wall and shower curtains. He started humming the tune of a song his mother used to sing to him. His sweet melody was blocked of by the water.

After he had dried himself, he slipped into his turquoise sweater and dark green hoodie, followed by a pair of black pants and green sneakers.

Edd didn't live alone, no. He lives with his parents and two twin sisters. The time showed 5:15 AM, which you would think is quite early, but a usual time for him.

He gently closed his oak wood door and headed down to the kitchen. You see, Edd isn't a big fan of interaction, not even with his family. The reason being his fear of family since his brother had abused him earlier in his life.

Edd quickly fixed up a sandwich and ate it in front of the TV. He finished the sandwich and threw the plate in the sink.

Edd grabbed the nearest comb and furiously combed his hair to cover his eyes. He snatched his dark green backpack and left the house.

At School, 5:52 AM

As usual, Edd arrived way before the school bell rang. Time on Edd's watch now showed 5:52 AM, while the bell rings at 7 AM sharp.

Sadly, there was always some people who come before him, and they don't necessarily mean well. Edd proceeded to enter his class room with caution. He sat at his desk and waited. For what? Well...

"Heya there, Emo bitch!"
*Sigh* "Hello, Cameron."
"Say, you're right on time for your scheduled meeting- Or should I say, beating?"
"Right. take it away, Cam..."

As he said that, Cameron and his crew started punching and kicking him. At this point, Edd could only groan in pain as he was beaten to a pulp. They went as far as to kick his desk over and emptied his backpack by dumping all the contents onto the floor.

No one gave a single damn about Edd's well being apart from his two friends, Tom and Tord. But, neither of them wake up early, so Edd had to deal with it in the mornings.

"Alright, I think that's quite enough for his morning beating. C'mon, let's leave." Cameron commanded.

After they left, Edd rose up from the floor and up to his feet. He fixed his desk and picked up his things one by one. Suddenly, a pale, freckled hand reached in to his view and pulled one of his pencils back.

Edd looked up at the owner of the hand and, Oh, it was Matt. Edd rose an eyebrow to question his presence. As if he read Edd's mind, he chuckled.

"Hi! Erm, sorry for intruding. You just seemed to be in such a pickle. What's your name?" He chirped.
"...Edd..." Edd mumbled.
"Nice to meet you! Well, this is an inconvenient stance to introduce our selves."

Matt stood up and reached out his hand for Edd to grab. Edd reluctantly held his arm and tugged so he could get up.

"I assume you've heard of me?" Matt asked.
"Mathew Carter Matins, born in August, you have one older brother who almost killed you at age 3, and your favorite color is lavender." Edd responded.

Matt jumped back in shock. Sure, he had a lot of 'fans' at school, but never has he come across someone who cares enough to remember his Information.

He didn't take it as weird. As he does, he took it as a compliment that someone even remotely cares about him and will take the time to remember about him since most people only care about his looks.

So, he gave Edd his number.

"Wh- why?"
"So we can talk more, of course! Text me anytime, ok? Don't be scared to contact me!"
"T-thank you. Really appreciate it, Matt!"
"No problem, Edd!"

They continued their day as normal, with Edd constantly staring at the slightly crinkled piece of paper with the number he'd soon text.

Hooh, hey every one! Mah nem's Jess, and this is one of my fanfics! I'm not a good writer, and I basically came here just to read 'Dear Starboy' and 'Paper Face Boy' since I've always wanted to see them. Well, I hope this isn't that much of an eyesore. G'bye!
