Kyle woke up to his alarm clock, which he kindly smashed when it started beeping. It's something that he does daily, except on weekends. He always figured that alarm clocks get the worst job ever since people get mad at them when they do their job, and people also get mad at them if they DON'T do their job. Kyle got up from his comfy bed, that he hates leaving every morning, and went into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and then decided to take a shower. He twisted the glass knob to turn on the hot water, and then sat back onto his bed while waiting for the water to heat up.

"School... yay..." Kyle said to himself.

Kyle never liked waking up in the early morning, ever since he was attending elementary school. Now that he's about to go to high school for the first time in his life and has to wake up at six in the morning every day in order to catch the bus, he has hated school even more. He started to reflect back on his memories from elementary and middle school. He remembered how he would love to hang out with his friends, and he would love to make fun of Cartman along with Stan and Kenny. Those three kids, the same age as he was, were destined to be his companions. Kyle wasn't too sure about Cartman, though. However, there was one friend that stuck out more than the others.

"Hopefully I get to see Stan in my classes..." Kyle groaned, before realizing that he took a bit too long to realize that his shower has already heated up.

Stan was Kyle's super best friend. As long as he can remember, Stan was always there for him. There was no way to separate the two, not even Wendy, Stan's "girlfriend". Stan has been on and off about Wendy all throughout middle school, and Kyle hated it. Wendy would always break Stan's heart, and Kyle never understood why Stan doesn't just leave her. For good.

"Why do I think like this? Why am I thinking about Stan so much recently?" Kyle questioned himself.

Stan and Kyle had always been best friends, but since recently, Kyle wanted something more from the relationship. Kyle had always been too afraid to tell Stan because he didn't know what would happen. They might stop being friends, they might stop talking to each other, or even worse. Kyle doesn't want to leave Stan, and he doesn't want Stan to leave him, either. Kyle likes to think that Stan thinks the same thing.

After his little 'reflection', he was also done with his shower. He looked at his clock again. 6:10 AM. He still felt groggy and sluggish, even after his shower, and after he dried himself with a towel. He got changed into his clothes which included the normal orange sweater, and green ushanka. Surprisingly, all his friends pretty much looked the same in terms of clothing. Stan still wore his brown sweater and blue hat with the red puff on the top, and Cartman still wore his XL red sweater, with the blue and yellow hat. Kyle liked it this way since he could instantly recognize his friends in a crowd like that, even though that situation has never presented itself. Kyle then took his phone, headphones, and backpack and walked quietly out of his room.

Kyle went downstairs and tried to not make much noise, since his parents don't wake up for another hour, and his brother doesn't wake up for another 2 hours. Kyle quietly made himself some cereal, and ate it quickly, since he's always paranoid about missing the bus. The bus card said the bus comes at around 6:45 AM and Kyle wanted to be at the stop at around 6:25-6:30 AM. Kyle quickly finished his cereal and went out the door. He tried to open and close the door quietly, but the door is big and heavy, so it makes a huge amount of noise, no matter how hard you try to be sneaky or quiet. Kyle closed the door behind him and sighed with relief when he didn't see any lights turn on in the house from the outside. He then started making his way to the bus stop. He passed by Stan's house, and then stopped when he heard another door open and close. He looked to his left and saw Stan.

"Stan?"

"Huh? Oh hey, Kyle." Stan responded with a quiet tone, like he had the same mentality as Kyle when getting ready.

"What're you doing up and out of your house so early? You were never up early for the bus during elementary or middle school."

"Well, I thought this way I would get to talk to you for a longer time at the stop before getting to school." Kyle blushed a bit in response to that.

Both of them went on and on about how they were excited for their first day at South Park High School, even though neither of them liked school after the first day, and this was true for all of their years in school. They stopped walking when they reached the bus stop since their house wasn't so far away from the bus stop, and neither were Cartman or Kenny's house, but both of them knew that they wouldn't be early. Especially Kenny.

They might've stopped walking, but that didn't mean that they stopped talking.

"So Stan, do you know what classes you're taking?" Kyle asked, trying to see if he would see Stan more in his first year.

"Uh, I have Biology 1st period, Algebra I 2nd, Spanish I 3rd, P.E. 4th, World History 5th, lunch 6th, and finally English I to end the day. Kyle? Why're you giving me that huge grin? Something good happen to you at home? Why're you so red?" Stan asked, noticing Kyle with his big smile and red face.

"No Stan, I'm just happy because that's almost the exact same schedule I have. Just switch around English and Biology." Kyle started blushing even more when Stan asked him about his face.

"Kyle? You're not feeling sick, are you?" Stan asked, completely oblivious.

'Stan, you're so oblivious... thank God.'Kyle thought to himself.

"No, I'm just fine, Stan. don't worry about me."

"Well, alright." Stan checked his phone. "Damn, 6:35 already? I think the bus should be here soon."

Kyle was a bit heartbroken, since he wanted to talk to Stan until nightfall, but he then enlightened himself when he reminded himself that Stan has 5 out of 7 periods with him. Kyle began to feel overjoyed, and since he would spend hours everyday with Stan, he thought this was a good time to finally tell Stan what he thought of him.

"Stan? C-can I tell you s-something?" Kyle asked. Stan looked at him, and he started to get even more nervous, and he felt his face burn like lava.

"Sure, Kyle. Ask me anything, I won't judge." Stan replied.

"I just w-"

Kyle was about to tell him the big secret he's been hiding, but then stopped when he turned around and saw Cartman and Kenny running towards them.

"Jesus Christ Cartman, we're gonna miss the bus because of your fat ass!" Kenny laughed.

"Don't call me fat, damn it!" Cartman replied, being around a car length behind Kenny, and the difference between them started growing.

"C'mon Cartman, you can definitely run faster than that!" Kenny continued to laugh at Cartman's crippling speed.

"I'm not as fucking fast as you because I don't run away from the cops like you have to!" Cartman gasped for air while running.

Kenny and Cartman then got to the bus stop, where they were greeted by both Kyle and Stan. Kenny then kicked Cartman in the shin for that remark about the cops. Kenny doesn't do THAT much drugs, but he does smoke every now and then as his form of stress-relief. Everyone tells him about how he shouldn't smoke, especially since he's only 14 years old, but he just shrugs and says something about not being able to keep up with life's challenges.

"Damn, what took you so long?" Stan kicked off the conversation.

"I thought it was a good idea to wait for Cartman and his fat ass so I wouldn't be alone on the walk over here, but I guess I should think twice on that, since waiting for him is the same thing as waiting for the last period to end in school." Kenny looked over at Cartman, and snickered.

"Don't judge me, you piece of shit! It's not my fault that I have to wake up at 6 in the fucking morning!" Cartman retaliated.

Kenny then looked at both Stan and Kyle. "Well, if we three can do it, then you can do it too. Or maybe you DO get up at 6, but you need a pull up bar in order to get you off the bed. I think you should position that shit lower. Maybe you wouldn't need to call your mom for help to get up from bed." Stan and Kyle both laughed at Cartman, and gave Kenny a high five.

"I swear, if you talk shit one more time, I will make sure you don't come back from your next death." Cartman looked at Kenny with hate and anger.

Kenny and Cartman haven't changed all that much, but if there were some things that have changed, it was Kenny with his hoodie, and Cartman with his speech. Kenny is actually understood by others, and isn't muffled by his hoodie, even though he keeps his hoodie like he did in 3rd grade just for the memories sometimes. And Cartman actually speaks English like he can actually pass a spelling test, and won't say things like 'Kahl' or 'authoritah'. He would actually pronounce them 'Kyle' and 'authority'. Kyle likes that he isn't mocked every time Cartman says his name, but he still makes a remark about Kyle if he ever heard a sentence that has the word 'Kyle' or 'Jew' in it.

"Well, looks like the gang's all here. You think we'll see all the others too?" Stan asked.

"Maybe, but then again, we're going to high school. That means it'll be boasting new people to meet." Kyle replied, while looking at Stan.

"You don't plan on replacing me, do you?" Stan snickered.

"Hell no! How could I? Tell me one other person on this planet who cares about me more than you do."

"Probably your family."

"I think you surpass them by a long shot." Kyle then started to whisper in Stan's ear, not wanting anyone else to hear what he was about to say, "I don't think any of them would get someone else's kidney in order to save my life." Stan started to blush a bit, and Kyle smiled. They both stayed close.

Cartman looked at them, and snorted. "You know, fags make me just as sick as Jews do."

Stan looked at Cartman, and then looked at Kyle. He gave Kyle a big hug, just to piss Cartman off. Kyle started blushing, and his face turned a dark red.

"Stop! Just- Just no!" Cartman cringed.

Stan let go of Kyle, and whispered to his ear, "I might just do that more often to see what else he does."

Kyle started blushing even harder. He would love another hug from Stan, even if it only was to piss Cartman off.

"Hey, the bus is finally here!" Kenny exclaimed.

The other three looked behind them, and the bus finally got to the stop. The four were getting on the bus that would take them to the third and final area of their education before finally going to college, high school. Stan, Kyle, and Kenny were excited as all hell, but Cartman just sighed, since he thought that he would have to deal with more of Stan and Kyle's hugs and 'acts of faggotry'.

The end... for now!

This is another story I had in mind, one that doesn't take place in the same timeline as Blushy. I would love to know if you guys want me to continue that story, since it's been a huge amount of time since I've posted anything on my profile. Just leave a review if you want more from either story!
