Edward Vincent or less formally know as "Double D" Due the fact he joined the Ed pair with an Ed already being in the group. But he took the name quite affectionately in all reality. Even though the trio was socially ostracized for the most part he couldn't be more grateful for his life long friendship that spanned well past their elementary school days. The trio were not always the most competent mind you but they were all he had. His parents were quite busy people and worked long weeks at a time out of country. He couldn't blame them for this however.

Edd had grown rather independent himself, albeit a bit OCD, wanting to keep everything extremely neat and tidy. This pared with his social anxieties made him quite the target for not only his neighborhood peers when he was young but high school jerks as he ranked up quickly in his classes. He was the top of his class with quite the scholarship lined up for him. He just wished the school halls were not such torturous territory. While the pack of three was less picked on a lone man became a much more easy and appealing target it seemed.

Which was the current case for the brunet boy. His tanish gangly form pacing down the hall quickly with his books pressed tight against his chest as if they were going to keep him hidden from prying eyes. As stated prior he was a twig of a boy, sure he had grown taller in his high school years but he was still relatively small and meek. Especially when cornered, more wanting to have something civil rather than anything physical.

Though as the boy thought he heard something from the adjacent hall way his eyes stayed darted down the corridor. This seemed to be to his down fall as he ran smack dab into a brick wall of some jock. Soft blue eyes widened as he looked over the towering figure, the shoulder pads and such did not help. The brute glared down at the stunned Edd, he stumbled over himself with a nervous apologetic smile.

"My apologies good sir. I wasn't exactly watching my step efficiently. It was my fault." Edd said very nervously as he tried to slip past the very annoyed giant.

This did not go over well at all it seems. Since the jock smirked some and moved his hand down to grab the smaller Edd by his neatly pressed spotless white collared shirt. His nervous smile suddenly completely faded into absolute panic, his soft blue orbs looked small being taken over by white as his eyes went almost impossibly wide. Edd moved his hands up, palms out, Well as best he could while holding a text book to his chest.

"Again I am very very sorry! Oh dear..." Edd tried again, but he knew he wasn't getting through to the other, his voice became more shaky as he was pulled up to his tip toes. "C-can we try to talk this out and be civil. W-we don't have to resort to violence. I-I'm sure I haven't s-scuffed anything. But i-i-if so I would be happy t-to fix it!"

"Nah little dweeb, seems like you need to be taught a thing or two. Can't just let you running around slamming into people huh little shit?" Before Edd could protest he was being drug off down the halls. He tried his best to wiggle free, dropping his books as he does. Well there goes his studies... Wait, that was the least of his concerns at the moment! The jock started to drag him out to the men's bathroom. Probably for some childish thing like shoving his head in an ungodly disgusting toilet bowl. Edd was babbling the entire way, trying to get the meat head to release him.

This all was apart of an occurrence that had happened to him more times than he could count in his high school career, you would think he would be used to it but the small Edd was not. Not in the least bit. The thought of the unsanitary condition was already starting to make him panic more than the unwanted rough contact. He tried to dig his heels down but that did nothing to halt or falter the brute.

"Hey, Jim, what the hell are you doing. You are missing practice-" The sudden voice that rang out as the jock, 'Jim' it seemed. The voice seemed almost a bit familiar to him, Those blue eyes of the small Edd looked over at the larger red head. He seemed to have quite the scowl on his face. Impishly the aggressor on the 'dweeb' let him go. He couldn't tarnish his sport career on just this of course. This was also the Captain Kevin Johnson.

"Sorry 'bout that, I was just teaching this nerd a lesson, we could finish this up and then head back. He thrashes around a lot for a twig." Jim spoke with quite the amused tone, if the captain held there was no reason for him to snitch to the coach. The large jock kept the boy from leaving as they both watched the red head. Those deep green orbs seemed to give Edd a once over. His heart sank, the football captain was quite into tormenting him when they were children. He doubted much had changed.

"So you are ditching on me and the couch to do this? Are you actually serious? You know this can get you detention and kicked off the team right?" Kevin voice seemed almost threateningly as his arms crossed and his stance hardened a bit. He was not budging it seems. Edd watched the tension between them and slowly started to inch around Jim. Though as the jock started off Kevin only moved closer to him.

Edd's heart caught in his throat as the other edged up to him, his expression not changing. Maybe Kevin shooed the other jock away so that he himself could torment him himself? He shrunk more at the looming shadow the large jock cast over him. Edd backed up more against the wall.

"Thank you Kevin, really but I must go back to class, I was only trying to deliver something to-" Edd was cut off quickly.

"Are you hurt or what? He didn't actually hit you or anything right? Dudes an ass so I wouldn't be surprised." Kevin said this a very slight hint of concern on the under tone of annoyance.

"Oh. No actually, just my shirt is stretched. But I am sure I can fix that well enough. So no permanent damage." He assured the other who simply nodded and shoved his hands deep in his jeans pocket. Eyes almost nervously darted away.

"Yeah well... I can walk you to class or something if you need it double dork. Can't have you getting anymore of my team kicked off because you are easy to mess with" Kevin suggested still not quite looking at him. Before Edd could protest Kevin started walking down the hall and Edd followed in toe, moving to grab up his fallen books. He was confused, why would he help him out? Just to keep his team in good standings?
