A Work in Progress

Chapter Thirteen: Edd's POV

Kevin is looking at me and I am getting nervous about asking the question now. But I must be brave now for he is waitimg for me to ask. 'Man up Edd.' Too late to turn back now.

"Is this just a "joke"? What I mean is, are you doing this as a dare from your sport friends?" Kevin's pretty green eyes go wide at my question and I immediately feel bad for asking. The look of hurt on his face has me ready to cry.

"Do you really think that low of me Dork? That's just f****d up man. No, this wasn't a joke or a dare." Oh boy. I really hurt Kevin's feelings. I have to fix this. He is close to tears and I have not seen Kevin cry before. His eyes turn a dark green when he is upset and I immediately feel horrible. I suddenly feel myself hug him. "I am so very sorry Kevin. I did not mean to hurt your feelings. Would you please forgive me?"

"It's cool Double D. I probably deserve... No I do deserve it after all the s**t I put you through." I sigh a breath of relief when I feel Kevin's arms holding me. I am happy for his forgiveness and forget about the time and the germs as we sit there holding each other. Suddenly I hear a buzzing sound and cannot place the sound at first. It is not until Kevin lets me go that I realize that it is his phone ringing again. I let go of Kevin so he can go get to his phone. Kevin however just sits there. His face is as pale as a ghost and he looks nervous. I cannot help but to wonder why.
