The boy had been walking along, telling a joke to one of the other kids that tended to avoid home like him. He snickered, finding himself hilarious when he noticed the two walking down the street. He frowned immediately and when the other boy nudged him to find out what was wrong, he sneered. "Wards.."

He didn't know who the big guy was, but Ed knew exactly who the girl was. He'd heard rumors too. Wasting no time, he strolled up to them and held out his hand. "'Ey! Gimme two bobs. Bram took it from me. So pay me back or I'll get back at 'im." He was lying but he certainly believed there was no way they'd no what he was up to when he was at school. Besides, the family was weird to him, so he believed his brilliant plan would work.
