A/N: This is my first fanfiction, ever. I chose to write from an OC's point of view because it sounded less contrived than third person POV, and because it was easier for me to convey emotion that way. Starts out as fluffy romance stuff and gets more and more twisted—perfect if you like a mix of both. Starts out a bit slow IMO but needs the slower chapters for backstory. Features most main characters but ends up being largely about Kenny. I started this thinking it would have about 15 chapters. I do have most of it written, but I will post it as I clean it up. Contains lots of het and a good bit of yaoi. You have been warned. Also, I know some may see a few scenes as OOC but we are talking about the South Park kids at 18 years old, so anything could have happened. Thanks for reading/reviewing.
South Park and characters belong to Matt and Trey. Fictional characters (my OC and peripherals) and places are mine, and any resemblance to anyone or anyplace is a freak accident…really.
Prologue
One thing I know: everyone has secrets.
I can't believe I was so naïve just one year ago, to think that anyone on the planet could make it through life without a cache of absolute deceptions and clandestine facts. I was eighteen years old and had no family, no friends, no home. All I had was a bank account boasting a somewhat ill-gotten eight-figure balance, and the knowledge of everything my brother had ever taught me during the first seventeen years of my life.
Even though I was headhunted by Cornell, Duke, and three other universities, I enrolled at the new University of Colorado-Park County. It promised a small town, and small towns, I thought, didn't have secrets. I figured my secret would stay safely hidden among all the simple non-secrets of the town of South Park. I figured I would find a place that would allow me to truly leave the past behind me, truly become a person of my own invention.
What I found was something else entirely.
