I have never been this mad at Kyle before in my life. Kyle and I have gotten into many fights before we even tried to beat the shit out of each other once.
It all started three weeks ago when we came back to school from the summer and was starting a whole new year, grade five. Jimmy was talking about his summer at cripple camp and Cartman was going on and on about Jewish people. Everything seemed normal and just the start of another year of school. There was only one problem, Carl, the new kid.
When our teacher Mr. Garrison (for another year in a row) sent him up to the front of the classroom he seemed pretty cool. He liked X-Box like the rest of us and thought school was lame. He dressed in the same way everyone did he wore a red jacket and a red and white hat that looks a lot like mine just without the poof-ball on the top. Everyone was ready to except him into our lives even Cartman but one of us took it too far. You would probably think it was my friend Butters because he lost Pip not long ago but it was someone worse, my super best friend Kyle.
At first Kyle was just like the rest of us. He allowed Carl into his life and treated him like he would treat Kenny or Craig as a normal friend. But things started to change.
One day as Cartman, Kenny and I waited for the school bus at our usual hangout, the bus stop Kyle came to meet us with Carl.
"Awe, you guys would you look at that the Jew has a boy-friend!" Cartman replied followed by a burst of laughter from Kenny.
Things started to get worse from then on Kyle and Carl started hanging out more and more. As they spent more time together Kyle and I spent less time together. Pretty soon we only saw each other once a week outside school. As they spent more time together, I began to become more and more friends of Kevin. He is not a bad kid really, he just is a big fan of Star Wars and I can't blame him they are good movies.
That is why I am here sitting in Whistlin Willie's waiting for Kyle's arrival. This morning I asked him to meet me here at six but it is already 6:30 and he is not here. The chocolate milk I ordered is gone already and the slice of pepperoni pizza in front of me is halfway gone. I don't have much of an appetite tonight and besides my stomach is churning like when I meet up with Wendy.
I look around the restaurant and notice someone that looks a lot like Pip and that kid Damien that visited our town with Satan a while ago. Strange ever since Pip died I have been seeing him and that Damien kid everywhere.
"Hi Stan, you wanted to see me?"
A voice speaks up and I look up to see Kyle. It's about fucking time.
"Yeah I did half an hour ago." I scowl as I take a tiny bite out of my pizza. The mixture of cheese, sauce, meat and bread is tasteless and bland.
"Sorry dude, Carl and I were at the movies." Kyle replies as he sits down at the chair across from me. We are now sitting down face to face from each other.
"It seems like you are always with Carl." I grumble.
Kyle looks at me confused. "What do you mean Stan?"
"You know very God damn well what I mean."
Kyle sits up in his chair and gives me his angry look that he always gives to Cartman when he calls Kyle a stupid Jew. "Stan, Carl is a great guy and you have to understand that Carl and I are good friends now. And I have seen you and Kevin spend a lot of time together."
"I am only doing that because Kevin listens he understands my problems."
"Whatever Stan if you can't state the fact that I have other friends besides you then I don't think I can be friends with you any more. "
Kyle gets up and walks towards the exit. I follow him even though I realize that I am making a scene.
"Kyle please, you're my best friend in the whole world. We're super best friend remember?" I plead as Kyle approaches the door.
"Oh don't get like that with me, half the world thinks we're gay because of this soap-opera shit of yours. Move on Stan our friendship is over." He screams in front of everybody and leaves the restaurant.
A tear streams down my cheek as I head back to my table. I leave two bucks as a tip (I paid earlier) and start heading towards the exit. That is when I see it. The people that look like Pip and Damien are Pip and Damien.
I run towards their table and look down at them in disbelief.
"Pip what the fuck? I thought you were dead!" I exclaim.
Pip looks up at me and stares at me. "Right-o Stan I am dead. Barbra Streisand killed me I'm afraid."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Pip looks over at Damien and looks back at me. "We are here because the time is coming for Hell to take over South Park. A prophecy was told a while back before I arrived that something big is going to change around here that will destroy society and allow Hell to take over. Damien and I are here because we are to tell Satan when that has happened. It has already started though I'm afraid Stan."
I shrug and walk away, Pip is probably dead and one of his look a likes is just playing games. "Boy I can't wait to tell Kyle this." I reply as I walk out the doors. I stop short and a pang hits my heart, I remember the fact that Kyle and I aren't friends any more and tears start to well up as tears stream down my eyes.
I cry as I walk through my small dirty red-neck town. Everything I see reminds me of him. The theater where we saw so many movies together, the school where we encountered so much good times like the time we sang Do What You Wanna Do in front of the whole school and the time we watched Wendy beat the shit out of Cartman that was a scary but fun day, the fields were Kyle, Kenny, Cartman and I pretended to be Ninja's, the whole town seems like a graveyard of haunted memories. By the time I get to Kevin's house I am bawling like crazy.
Kevin's house is a decent size and is a slight bit larger then mine. The garage is attached and the house is a dark brown colour. I sigh a heavily and ring the shining doorbell.
Kevin's twin sister, Esther answers the door. Behind her are Bebe, Heidi and Wendy all in their pajamas. Wendy gasps when she sees me and helps me in the door.
"I'll go and get Kevin, Tweek and Craig." Esther replies and runs upstairs.
Wendy hugs me and asks me what happened. I tell her it's a long story and she nods. That is one thing I love the most about her she always understands.
"Whatever it is Stan don't worry about it we are all here and we all care about you. " Heidi says as Bebe and Wendy nods. Strange I don't think I have ever said more then two words ever to Heidi.
Esther returns back downstairs with Craig, Tweek and Kevin behind her.
Now that Esther and Kevin are beside each other I can tell how much they look alike with matching brown eyes and the girl and boy versions of each other's hair they truly were two peas in a pod.
Kevin goes up to me and replies. "Come upstairs Stan, I have a feeling we need to talk."
