It was sophomore year; a lot has changed since those innocent days in the cul-de-sac. The eds still talked at times, if only small chats in the hallway, but other than that they all went their separate ways. Eddy started working at clothing store to get some money instead of scamming the kids, since that was obviously getting him nowhere. Ed found his true calling, that being art (who would have known that all those stupid comics could have taught him something?) and now is considered the "Art God" of the school for his various...interesting paintings and drawings.
Edd, however, did not change all that much. He was still a bit of a clean freak, still had amazing grades, and still wore his old black hat. In fact the only thing that had changed is that, believe it or not, he had actually become less social. He ate lunch alone in a small corner of the cafeteria, and made no effort to talk to others unless instructed to. Also because of this, and the fact that at some point he started wearing mostly dark clothing, he was known as the schools "Lonely emo boy". The raven haired boy even noticed when he started to become like this, but he did not care, he saw no need to talk to others unless it was on Tumblr.
Yes, you heard me right; Edd found the site at the beginning of his freshmen year and quickly became addicted. He found the whole "Shipping" thing to be so much fun, and loved to meet and talk to people with the same opinions and hobby's as he did, but he did not become a full-fledged Tumblr zombie until he discovered fan fiction. Oh how Eddward loved to read and write this crap, and he got many followers because of it.
The only person in the outside world he was remotely interested in was Kevin. Kevin had grown a good foot (maybe even more) taller and got some muscle on his bones, not to mention traded out his bike for a sleek black motor cycle. Edd found him interesting, even though he was on the football team and could easily rule the school and be one of your everyday jock bullies, he did not. In fact, even though he was popular, he only hung out with a few friends, Nazz, (who had grown into a pretty tom-boy) Rolf, (who was still the same except bulkier) and Nat.(whom as far as edd could tell was a harmless pervert)
Edd walked into his house with a sigh. Today had been rough. The bullies, who usually overlook him, from lack of charisma, found him in the hallway and dumped his stuff on the ground, along with giving him some insulting word, such as "fag" "Fairy" and "Satan worshiper". Honestly he was appalled by the lack of good insults these days, he knew they weren't the best in literature, (Or any subject for that matter) but couldn't they be a little more creative? Then at the last period of the day, he got up to answer the teachers question and someone threw a book at his head. Luckily these neanderthals don't read very thick books or he could have been really hurt. The thin book did, however, leave a nice bump on the side of his head.
Eddward went to his room, where his previous laptop was, and posted his daily happenings on Tumblr. Then he noticed that he actually had something in his ask box. After being a little giddy about it he opened the envelope icon to see who asked him what.
NiceAndRed asked you:
Hey, you should not let those jerks get you down, by the way, love you profile picture :)
Edd smiled and took a look at what his profile picture was, because he changes it quite a lot. Right now it was a picture of Kirk and Spock cuddling, one of his many ships. He decided to reply:
Why thank you, Im not down actually, just a little pevved. Oh, and do you ship Kirk/Spock too?
He got a reply within a few minutes.
Yeah, I mean who wouldn't? Did you see how they were looking at each other in that last movie? It was like they wanted people to ship it.
Edd could not believe someone had thought the exact same thing that he had been thinking throughout the entirety of that movie.
Oh gosh, I'm so happy I was not the only one who thought so! By the way, may I ask about your user name, I get the "nice" part, but what does red have to do with you?
The raven haired boy just could not come up with an answer for this on his own
I'm a red head smarty pants, and proud of it, lol. what about you mister "JimTheAmazingCactus"?
I just so happen to have named my account after my beloved cactus Jim.
Wow,thats just epic, your a cool dude man.
Bookworm cringed at his word choice and grammar.
Why thank you, I also consider you a "Cool dude man" but would rather just say you are a nice person to talk to.
'Being sarcastic is just too much fun'.
Whatever dude, so what else do you ship?
They went on like that for the rest of the night, neither knowing that they were talking to a boy just across the street...
A/N I just thought this would be a cool thing to do, please review and all that jazz if you liked it. Also this is not a one shot. I repeat NOT A ONESHOT. I own nothing
