"Your basement is pretty cool," Kenny tapped the flickering lightbulb on the ceiling, "Dark, but cool."
Kyle rolled his eyes as he sat on a chair in the corner, "I can't control the whether, Kenny. Believe me if I could, I'd make it summer everyday." He stared at his wet jeans and attempted to rub the water away. It didn't work.
"Nah, man, it's cool." Kenny shrugged, "But, uh, wouldn't it be better to actually go inside your house and kick back and watch some tv."
"You know how my mom is." Kyle hunched forward and rested his elbows on his knees, "My mom wants the house to be spotless. She's a neat freak." It was fairly true, of course Kyle's mom wanted the house to be clean but mainly, she didn't approve of Kenny's odor.
"Damn." Kenny exhaled as he shoved his hands on the pockets of his hoodie, he froze, and slowly pulled out his hand from his pocket, revealing a light orange stretched out condom.
"Ugh, sick man!" Kyle exclaimed as he fidgeted from his seat.
Kenny laughed, "oh Kyleeeeee, it's the big snake monster!" He wiggled the condom and shook it front of Kyle.
Kyle jumped from his seat, "Stay away from me with that." He said as he backed away.
Kenny laughed, and in that very moment, Kyle ran from him as he chased him.
"Kenny, stop I'm seri-" Kyle crashed into the wall and fell back. He groaned.
"Dude, check it out."
Kyle saw Kennys feet move away from him as he dropped the condom on Kyle's nose, Kyle quickly shook off the condom. "You're fucking disgusting."
Kenny ignored him as he inspected the wall. "Wow man you really busted the wall."
Kyle sat up and looked at the wall, big chunks of the wall had fallen off and Kyle noticed that at the corner of the wall, was something brown poking out. "What's that?" Kyle asked as he pointed at the brown object.
"I don't know, man, this is your basement."
Kyle rolled his eyes and got up from the floor, "I've never seen that before."
"Let's find out what it is." Kenny said, and without hesitation, he pulled off another chunk of the wall, bringing the brown object in view.
"Cmon man, don't destroy my wall."
Kenny pulled off the brown object, revealing it to be box. On the front of the box it said in big bold black letters "HAZARD:DO NOT OPEN"
"What could it be?" Kyle said as he traced his fingers on the box. It's texture was rough and it looked as if it were hand made.
Kenny shrugged. "Maybe it's a bomb."
Kyle tilted his head at him and squinted at him.
"It says we can't open it so it might as well be a bomb."
"Kyle sighed, "Well it says it's not supposed to be open so-"
Kenny ripped open the lid.
"Kenny!"
Kenny glanced at him with a smirk, "All I heard was blah blab blah open." He grabbed whatever was in the box and pulled it in view. To their surprise it was a rag doll, a chubby one to. With a red coat and black buttons, a blue and yellow hat pulled over his brown hair, loose brown and black shoes. The doll wasn't smiling, his mouth was in a straight line and his dark little beady eyes was painted a dark shade of brown.
"Is this some fucking joke?" Kenny shook the doll. "Maybe there's a bomb inside." He squeezed the plush toy, but nothing.
Kyle laughed, "Dude, oh my god." He wiped the tears away from the corner of his eyes. "Your face, oh my god."
"Did you put the doll in the box?"
"No, but I wish I did." Kyle laughed.
"Can we please go to your room?"
Kyle nodded, "Sure my mom prolly went to the store by now." He followed Kenny up the stairs, he still held the small doll in his fist.
"It getting late." Kyle said as he glanced at his window.
Kenny was laying on his bed while the doll was left abandoned below Kyle's desk. "So?"
"So, shouldn't you go home?"
"Nah."
"Dude, go home."
Kenny faked a gasp, "Are you kicking me out?"
"Yes. Get the fuck out my house." Kyle said as he scribbled the answer for x on his worksheet.
"Token's gon have a party in a few hours. Wanna come with me?" Kenny glanced at Kyle, "You could be my date."
"I'd rather go with a trash can."
Kenny rolled his eyes and rolled out of bed, "Fuck you, man." He said. He glanced at the door and then at Kyle, "Show me out?"
Kyle exaggerated a groan.
"Dick."
Kyle chuckled as he stood out from his desk and walked with Kenny out his door. "See ya, tomorrow."
"You gon go to the movies with Bebe and I?"
Kyle shrugged, "I'm not going to do anything tomorrow. So, might as well."
"I'll set you up on a date, man."
Kyle gave Kenny an apathetic look, "I'm dating Stan."
Kenny rolled his eyes, "Call me when y'all break up." He said before leaving.
Kyle shut the door behind him, and then began walking up the stairs to his room. His stomach plummeted at the sight of the doll being propped onto the white pillows, a smirk plastered onto his face.
