Kyle clasped his hands together in a mute fist, furrowing his eyebrows as if to concentrate on something small far away.

"Okay" Stan mouthed, lifting a hand and signing a lazy okay

Kyle did a few more motions and Stan shrugged and rolled his eyes as if dismissing what Kyle was saying. His best friend had been deaf for about a year already and their in jokes suffered badly. Kenny was instantaneously ostracized from the group because he was all talk, never listening to a word said or signed.

"Hey- Hey Kyle" Kenny bounded up to Stan, glancing over his shoulder, at Bebe who was tittering with her own friends a few feet away

"What, dude" Stan turned, hands half lifting as if to sign rather than talk. He was also still getting used to switching from sound to sight as a way of talking.

"I want to tell Kyle she has a nice rack" Kenny said to Stan, "But Wendy and Red are watching, And Kyle and Bebe are you know, able to sign"

You should make more of an effort to learn how to use ASL!

Kyle jabbed each word in a sharp sign, grimacing as a way of being threatening, giving Kenny a shove to prove a point that he was annoyed.

"What" Kenny spat at Kyle, "You can't help being able to hear, why do we have to sign in front of you!"

Kyle just glared hotly at Kenny.

"Shut up Kenny" Stan snapped, looking at Kenny with disapproval

"Whatever" Kenny rolled his eyes, I gave you a birthday present anyway"

Kenny revealed from his orange parka a small envelope and handed it to him, with a smile of genuine friendship.

Thanks Kyle tapped his chin to complete the sign

"What's" Kenny grabbed his own chest and gave it a squeeze and looked at Bebe discreetly.

Kyle smiled and signed slowly I have a micro-penis

Stan stifled a smirk and covered by clearing his throat. Kenny smiled and tapped his chin and walked away to Bebe who within minutes roared with laughter at a visibly hurt and clueless Kenny.

What did you get?

Kyle started hungrily unwrapping the present with glee and froze as he stared at the card. He looked at it closely and glared.

What's the matter, Kyle?

Kenny gave me a fifteen dollar voucher for a music download website

The super best friends glared at Kenny trying to frantically make up for his mistake with Bebe and walked off.

Some people clearly didn't understand other people's perspectives.
