Kenny, you wanna come to the cinema with me tonight then?

I looked at the note and smiled. It was from Stan, my current boyfriend. Even though I knew that if I even thought about saying no then he would let his anger out on me, I was happy that he still liked me and wanted to continue our relationship and go out. See, I liked him a lot and I didn't care what he did as long as I was with him.

Sure Stan what film?

I passed it back smiling to myself hoping it wasn't a film I'd already seen or didn't want to see. Stan's decision was final so if I'd seen it or didn't want to I'd have to act like I didn't know what was gonna happen or that I liked the film. I didn't want to anger him.

I looked to him and saw he hadn't got the note back; I looked around and saw that Cartman was still holding onto it and I knew he wasn't going to pass it to Stan. I sighed and then looked back to the front of the class room, still day dreaming about Stan.

"Ok class, I'm going to pair you up for the latest project, come up to the front as I call your name and I'll tell you who your with."

I looked up to the teacher and then to Stan. He was smiling at me with his award winning smile. I melted inside with that smile; no one could make me feel like Stan could. In any other relationship I would be the one making them melt in my hand, they would be labelled the girl and I would be the dominant boy. But with Stan, I was the girl. The one who was kissed, the one who had their hand around the others neck while kissing and the one on the bottom if you know what I mean. I didn't like being the girl at first, but Stan convinced me that he couldn't be the girl because of him being a jock. First of all I didn't want to be, but then I agreed. He kind of made me.

"Kenny Mccormick"

I stood up and walked over to the teacher desk hoping for Stan to be my partner. I smiled at the teacher and he gave me a piece of paper. I opened it up and read it.

Craig Tucker

C-Craig?! I stared at the paper in shock and then turned around to look at Stan. I gave him a 'sorry' look and sighed. He looked annoyed and the teacher called out his name. He came up to me, snatched the paper out the teachers hand and then forcefully grabbed my arm and pulled it over to my desk.

"Who are you with then Kenny?" He looked pissed off and angry. I started to shake. In was scarred; more like terrified about what Stan could do. I felt my voice braking and trying to find the right words.

"I-I'm wi-with erm..." I looked down and felt the grip on my arm tighten. I closed my eyes as tight as I could and felt myself shake even more. But then, I felt a hand on my shoulder and the tight grip that was crushing my arm disappears in a flash. I looked up to see Stan , still annoyed, standing back away from me. I didn't know who was helping me and I didn't dare look.

"Stan just leave him god it's not his fault he's not paired with you is it?"My eyes widened and I turned around to look at a boy behind me, also looking a little annoyed. I was still shaking and as I turned back to Stan, he was walking off towards Cartman. I gulped and turned to face the boy.

"Craig, I'm partnered with you" I could hear my voice; it was week, quiet and pathetic. I was still shaking at this point and too scared to move.

"Ok then, come to my desk" He turned his back and made his way to his desk. I gulped again, clutching my paper so hard that I was nearly ripping it into two. I slowly made my way over to where Craig was sitting, and sat in the desk beside him. I put my hands on the table and I could see my hands rapidly shaking. I felt my eyes well up and I looked around the room hoping no one was looking at me. Luckily, only one person in the room was looking at me, and that was Craig.

"Kenny you ok dude?" He placed his hand on my shoulder in an attempt to calm me down and stop me from shaking. I looked up at Craig and weekly smiled to try and make an attempt to make him think I was ok.

Me and Craig weren't what you call close. So I was shocked at his kindness. We had never really been close or friends to be honest. We would occasionally cross paths but it wouldn't be a good thing. He, Clyde and Token were always shouting at Cartman or something and Kyle would join in after a while helping them. Stan would be at the side with me, that when he first asked me out. I didn't know that he would be like this. I guess its Wendy's fault for dumping him every week and making him beg for forgiveness when he didn't even know what he did wrong. They were all happy really; some didn't think it would last but that was a normal response.

"Deep breaths dude, its ok" I felt his hand run up and down my arm, trying his best to calm me down. I took some deep breaths and felt a little better. I smiled and then looked up at Craig, who never smiled, and sighed looking back down. I wanted to say thanks for helping me and calming me down but I didn't know what he would say about what Stan did to me. I didn't want to hear the 'dump him' speech again.

"Thanks for calming me down Craig, and helping me back there" I chocked on the last line. I looked up to him, but he was looked elsewhere. I turned around and saw Stan glaring at us. My eyes widened and I heard myself make a squeaking sound of fear. I thought I was terrified back then, but I didn't know the guy I thought I loved could make me this scarred.
