"Kyle get up we have to go pick up your cousin Kyle!" Kyle's mom called from downstairs. Kyle groaned and sat up rubbing the nerdle out of his eyes, the digital clock on his nightstand said 7:53 am. He didn't want to get up this early to pick up his nerdy cousin from the air port. The drive to the air port was silent and boring, Kyle occupied himself by drawing frowning faces in the frost on the windows of the car.
"We're here," Kyle's dad said stopping the car in front of the air port. Kyle groaned and stepped out of the car and reluctantly followed his parents to go pick up his nerdy cousin.
"Looking for me?" He heard a voice say behind him, he turned around and saw a muscular boy with shaggy brown hair.
"Uh-I-uh who are you?" He stumbled out mesmerized by the boy standing in front of him.
"I'm your cousin," The boy said punching his shoulder lightly.
"Wha how did you?" Kyle stuttered out.
"How did I go through this drastic change? Well when I got that five million dollars I used some of it to get my mom well and the rest I used to fix myself and after I got rid of all my health problems I joined the track team and it totally turned me around," He said.
"You look good," Kyle said.
"Come on Kyle and Kyle two, we have to get going now," Kyle's mom said. Kyle rolled his eyes, he hated how his mom chose to call him Kyle two. When they arrived back at the house Kyle went up to his room still stunned about his new changed cousin.

"Hey guys," Kyle said at the bus stop next morning.
"New boyfriend?" Kenny asked noticing Kyle's cousin.
"No you guys all remember my cousin right?" Kyle asked. Cartman emitted a small laugh,
"Yeah what a douche," He said.
"Well, this is him," He said pointing to his cousin. He watched as his three friends' mouths dropped open in shock and he listened once again as his cousin told the story of his new changed self.
"It's amazing how much someone can change," Stan said.
"Well you guys haven't seen me since we were eight," Kyle's cousin said.
"Yeah, hah, it's been a long seven years," Stan said with a laugh. When they got on the bus Kyle was disappointed when his cousin took his seat next to Stan and Stan didn't object to it, pretty soon the four boys were deep in conversation. Kyle sighed and went to sit in the only empty seat up at the front of the bus.

"Alright class we have a new student joining us today, I would all like you to meet Kyle's cousin Kyle!" Ms. Garrison exclaimed out. Everyone opened their mouths in shock at what they saw, this kid was definitely not the nerdy kid that they remembered back in the third grade.
"Go have a seat Kyle," Ms. Garrison said. Luckily there were enough seats this time so Kyle didn't have to share with his cousin. All during class his friends talked to his cousin leaving him completely out of their conversation, he could feel himself getting more hurt and angry with every conversation they left him out of but he decided to just ignore it, their fondness over his cousin would have to die out sooner or later, right?

"Stop staring at Wendy and hurry up and chose already," Cartman said pushing Stan from behind.
"Don't shove me fat ass this is a tough decision," Stan said angrily.
"What is so hard about choosing between a hamburger and a cheeseburger?" Cartman asked. Stan sighed.
"Cheeseburger," He said. Cartman quickly pushed his way in front of the food and ordered two cheese burgers and one hamburger. After the boys got their food, Kyle was surprised to see that they didn't reserve a seat for him.
"Where am I going to sit?" He asked trying not to sound hurt.
"Go sit somewhere else Jew, your cousin is sitting with us," Cartman snapped. Kyle looked at Stan for support but he seemed to agree with Cartman.
"Yeah Kyle, maybe you can sit by us tomorrow," Kenny said. Kyle quickly turned away so his "friends" wouldn't see the tears that had sprung up in his eyes and he went to go sit at the only empty table at the back of the cafeteria.

After school Kyle went to Stark's pond and he was surprised to see someone there crying, as he got nearer he saw that it was Clyde.
"What's wrong?" He asked sitting next to him.
"Your…stupid…cousin," He choked out.
"What about him?" Kyle asked.
"I accidentally bumped into Jimmy and your cousin saw and he started telling everyone that I beat him up so now everyone thinks I'm a cripple beater and now no one wants to be my friend because they are all good friends with Jimmy," Clyde choked out.
"You're not the only one that he has been causing problems for," Kyle muttered.
"What did he do to you?" Clyde asked.
"He stole my friends that's what he did!" Kyle said angrily causing Clyde to jump slightly.
"I'll be your friend," He offered smiling.
"Okay," Kyle said and he couldn't help but to smile back.

"Get in here young man!" His mom screeched as soon as he walked through the door.
"Yeah Mom?" He said.
"Explain this to me," She said shoving his journal in his face, it was to the part about where he said he had an attraction towards guys. He was surprised that she had found it, sure the lock was broken on it but he had hid it very well, he had no idea how she could have found it. Then he remembered mentioning briefly where it was to his cousin the night before, he had been so tired that he wasn't even thinking about what he was saying. He suddenly felt rage build up inside of him, he couldn't believe that his own cousin would betray him like this.
