(POV- Edd)
Leaves danced across the sidewalk in the chilling fall air under a grey sky, Junior year started three months ago and time was flying and moving in slow motion all at the same time. As he walked towards Peach Creek High following the leaves he pulled his hat tight over his head trying to keep the chill at bay.
The familiar growling of a motor cycle moving ever closer until it whizzed past in the same direction he was walking. Riding it was Kevin Barr the redheaded Football and Baseball captain, most popular guy in school, ex boyfriend of Nazz and X-bully. And total hotty, Edd shook his head brushing the thought away and kept walking.
"Hey Double-Dee! Wait up!" Shouted a familiar female voice. It was Nazz Van Bartonschmeer, I had always liked her last name it sounded so very much like some famous scientist. "Greetings Nazz, and how are you this chilled Autumn morning?" "I'm great dude, just wish the sun was out." She giggled. "Indeed."
Nazz and I has grown close in the beginning of sophomore year;after an incident in science class caused the fire sprinklers to go off and ruin her hair, she was all out of sorts and being the kind and helpful person I am, I offered her my jacked, which had a large hood to hide her wet tangled blonde locks. Ever since then we had become close it was a secret until after Nazz and Kevin had broken up. Although I still didn't know quite why they has split, but I dared not pry no use upsetting Nazz. "So dude, what's up?, what's the dish, any cute boys catch your eye yet?"
"Nazz!" "Oh come on Double-Dee I'm your gal pal you can tell me!" Though the whole school knew I was gay, after coming out the summer before sophomore year, I was uneasy talking about it in public. He glanced around as if he was waiting for the jocks to jump him. "Dude chill" she slapped his back making him stumble. He straightened back up and looked at her "No one has caught my fancy as if yet Nazz." "aww well you will find someone I know it." "Indeed in due time I suppose." He sighed.
In his mind though he did fancy someone, a strapping redhead with a motor cycle. " Hey dude you ok, you are kinda red?" Snapped out of his thoughts he stammered "J-just the cold, blood travels to the areas that are cold to prevent frost bite you see." "Oh, ok kool." In reality though he always blushed when he thought of Kevin.
Nazz hooked arms with me and leaned into my shoulder. "Cheer up dude you will find the right guy, now come on we don't want to ruin that perfect attendance record of yours." We walked up the steps of Peach Creek High said our farewells and went our separate ways.
I unlocked my locker at post haste, everything was neatly tucked away just as I had left it the day before. The five minute bell rang as I closed my locker and headed to first period. I greeted Ms. Sanders, and took my seat, oh how I loved physics.
As I sat my textbook on my desk the bell rang and in strolled Kevin late as usual. Ms. Sanders gave him the stink eye, I couldn't help but smirk and giggle at the look she gave him. I followed him as he took his seat one row over from me; he slowly pulled off his lime green sweatshirt his V lines which seemed to be carved into his lower torso and his chiseled abs peaked out from under his taught orange compression t-shirt. It clung to his chest and his biceps looked as if they would rip his sleeves if he flexed even the slightest.
"Hey Double-Dork what ya gawking at?!" Instantly snapping out of my trance I managed to say "Oh! n-nothing Kevin my apologies." Clearing my throat I buried my head in my book. Not daring to look remotely in his direction.
(POV-Kevin)
Jeez Ms. Sanders needs to chill the fuck out, I have to make sure my babe is taken care of; (babe being his motor cycle) I gotta make sure she's in the shade and has her cover on. Sighing as he slumped into his desk, I'm so glad tomorrow is fucking Friday, pulling his sweat shirt off in the overly dry heated classroom. Glancing over he noticed he was being ogled. The hell is he staring at? "Hey Double-Dork what ya gawking at?!" "Oh! n-nothing Kevin my apologies."
Jeez he is skittish, it's kinda cute when he gets nervous though. Realizing his thoughts Kevin try's to zone out. Eyes wandering the room fell upon Nazz. I finally grew the balls to ask her out in eighth grade; we dated for 2 years before I broke it off early in our sophomore year. But she was the best, not as a real girlfriend but as a best friend and a cover. Two weeks into dating her, he realized he wasn't attracted to her, he had pawned over her for years and then it all came to light. Walking home from school one day with Nazz he saw The Ed's across the street acting like blockheads as usual, but something was different it was Double-Dee.
He was taller, graceful, handsome even. He was taller and had even filled out some I still dwarfed him but not like before. His gap toothed smile was so adorable and endearing. They had all started to grow and change. It was then that Kevin knew something inside him had changed, well maybe changed isn't the word, it's more like his true nature had finally surfaced. A few days later he confessed it all to Nazz and her reaction was not what he had expected. She took it in stride and gave full understanding and expectance to which brought him major relief. She offered to be his cover his pretend girlfriend so he could come out of the closet when he was ready. And that is how they became true best friends.
(POV)
Okay class today we will be starting a project on the different types of energies, I will be assigning partners according to your current grade in my class to help all of you improve. The class groaned in dismay.
Ok then, Rolf and Sarah;Nazz and Jonny.........Kevin had started to space out until Ms.Sanders calls his name and it was followed by to his surprise Eddward.
Kevin's emerald eyes met with the cyan eyes of Edd "oh dear" was all Edd could muster as a small smile came upon Kevin's face.
TBC....
