(POV-Edd)
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!!! Kevin is smiling, whatever could that mean?!?!
I was wide eyed, and my knees were starting to quiver. Gulping in fear and in fancy. All of a sudden though Kevin's smile disappeared and he glanced in the other direction sheepishly. This puzzled Edd for he could not comprehend the hidden feelings Kevin had.

(POV-Kevin)
Oh shit, I'm smiling why am I smiling??!! Abort, abort, abort!
What the hell Kevin he can't know you like him, not ..... not yet. But maybe this is my chance. We are project partners maybe now I can get to know him.... Maybe see if I have a chance.

(POV)
I will now assign a different energy type to each pair. You will have the text of class to to brain storm and it will be due Tuesday of next week. She doled out one to each pair and then to Kevin and Edd she gave.... gravitational energy. They both looked at her and then at each other once again.

(POV-Kevin)
Could this get anymore insane, I mean I like him but this is just crazy! I swear maybe I was right thinking Ms. Sanders was a damn witch. But maybe this is my shot to find out if this could work and maybe if I can get him to like me.
Kevin let out a huge sigh as he laid his head back against his chair, looking at the ceiling. He was drawn from his own mind by a noise, Double-Dee had quietly cleared his throat. I turned in the noises' direction head still tilted at an uncomfortable looking angel. His eyes met again with the cyan eyes of Edd, he seemed to be starting to say something but was mumbling. This irritated Kevin, he furrowed his brow and said, "WHAT?".

(POV-Edd)
Startled at Kevin's reaction only made him more nervous. He huffed out, putting on his brave face. "Kevin how would you like to complete this project? Because Kevin I will work with you on this but I will NOT do it all for you." Oh I hope he doesn't get too angry at me, he thought to himself. He waited to see how Kevin would react and he braced himself for the worst. But to his surprise Kevin's eyes weren't filled with anger, they reflected guilt and sadness. I then herd words I never thought I would hear. " Ok Double-dork, you're the boss, I just want to pass this class." Edd's jaw almost hit the floor and his eyes got as big as dinner plates. I never thought in my life I would hear Kevin not only comply but submit to what I had demanded.

(POV-Kevin)
Damn I feel kinda bad for snapping at him, and he didn't really know how to answer, Edd was so cute when he got demanding and bossy. It made Kevin smile inside, but he realized it also hurt, not because Edd was being mean, but because he knew Edd felt he had to be demanding considering how Kevin had treated him in the past. Guilt and sorrow panged in his heart. Damn I hate how awful I had been to the dweeb. So then and there he decided to start to try and make amends for all the shit he put Edd through, starting by letting Edd be the boss of the project and doing whatever he asked or told him to do.

(POV-Edd)
I can't believe those words came out of his mouth, he is actually listing to me! Oh this had better not be a prank, thinking to himself. "Alright then, well I think a demonstration diorama with a short power point would be best, I can walk to get the needed supplies that I don't already have from the store after school today." He waited to see what Kevin would do and say. " Ok Double-dork, you come up with the plan and I'll assemble it with your instructions, and I'll give you a ride to town to get supplies and I'll pitch in to pay, that's what partners do right?" "Right Kevin, he said slightly hesitant, shall we be riding on your motorcycle?" "Well yeah Dorkie that is my only ride, don't worry I have an extra helmet." He chuckled.
Well maybe working with Kevin won't be so bad, maybe he really has changed, well I'll give this a shot, but I still don't know about riding that death trap. "Ok Kevin it's settled then, so I will meet you outside of the gym, as I presume you have football practice today, so I shall wait for you, then after we get the supplies, shall we work at your home or mine?"

(POV-Kevin)
Holy shit he's actually going to ride with me, I didn't think he could handle that. Focus Kevin he asked you a question. "Would it be cool if we worked at my place this afternoon, I have to get groceries while we are out since my mom is working a double tonight at the hospital ; plus I'll be skipping the showers after practice, I prefer not to ride after dark, ya know it's harder to see and be seen and all." Rubbing the back of his neck as he sat up in his desk, turning to face Edd more directly. "That work for you dork?" "Indeed Kevin, he said with a little more pep."
