Chapter 2: October
Stan is laying in bed, after waking up an hour before usual to go to school. He knew most people in his house were not awake yet, so he decided not to get up yet, in fear of waking up Shelley, who in turn would have kicked his ass for it. So all Stan did was lie down in bed and contemplate what he and Wendy had talked about a couple weeks ago, he just couldn't stop thinking about it. He wanted to tell Kyle that he thinks he is gay, but doesn't know how he will react. Will he be mad? Will he be disappointed? Stan doesn't know, but one thing he does know is he doesn't want to lose his friendship with Kyle.

A few streets down about half an hour later, Kyle Broflovski is waking up. He leans over to check his phone. 07:02 A.M. Kyle gets up and stretches his arms and yawns whilst saying "Ugh, I hate Mondays." Kyle hops out of bed and proceeds to get dressed. First he puts on his green pants, followed by his white t-shirt, orange jacket then his socks and shoes.
He proceeds to walk down stairs and into the kitchen where his mother, father and brother are getting ready for work and school. "Morning guys." Kyle conveyed. "Morning bubby." Sheila spoke, "Good Morning Kyle" Gerald Replied, "Hey!" Ike said.
Kyle sat down at the table awaiting for breakfast. Just as he sat down Sheila put a plate in front of him. Pancakes, one of kyle favorite. Kyle poured some maple syrup on his breakfast and ate up.
As he is eating his father looks over to him and starts to speak "Kyle, since i will be in work and your mother will be getting her hair done, can you pick up Ike after school?" Kyle looks up to address his father, "Sure what time does he get out at again?" His father looks at him confused "3:45 like he always has and like you used too."

Stan was getting in his Car about to drive off when his mother came running out. "Stan hold on!" She cried out. With a sigh Stan rolled down the passenger side window and spoke out "What is it mom?" He then seen she was holding his phone "Shit" he thought, "Did she see the browsing history or even worse the Text messages?!" His mother approaches the car and leans into the window to hand him his phone. "I don't know if I told you this but your father and I are going off for the week, also Shelly drove back to college last night for some reason. I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget your phone since we'll probably be gone by the time you come home today. Make sure it is switched on at all times so I can call and check up on you. Also we will be home for your birthday, don't worry about that, god I remember when you were a little baby, just Four years old, now look at you, nearly Seventeen years old, oh how the time flies. You know I remember this one ti-" -Stan Snapped and cut her off abruptly- "Yeah, I get it mom, now can i go. I don't want to listen to Mr. Jackson for Twenty minutes teaching me how to be punctual and not late for class."
You could hear the penitent in her voice "Oh, okay. Well I guess I will talk to you later." She leant back out of the window, allowing Stan to go off to school.
On his way to school, Stan started to regret snapping at his mother like that. I guess it's just been a hard couple of weeks. It's not easy being a Sixteen year old with sexual orientation issues, Stan feels as if there is no one other than Wendy to talk to about these things. He would like to talk to his dad, but he is too stupid. Even though he is PC, he won't be PC for his son, Stan thinks his mom would be supportive, but if he tells her, she will tell his dad. He also doesn't want to tell Kyle, incase he takes it the wrong way or stops wanting to be his friend.
God help him if Cartman finds out, then he might lay off the Jewish jokes with Kyle and make gay jokes for Stan.
Stan right now, just doesn't know what to do.

After arriving at the School, Stan rushes into the hallway just as the bell begins to ring. Stan walks into Social Studies class and sits next to Kyle. "Hey, Stan" Kyle Whispers, "You got lucky, bell just rang." Stan panting looked at Kyle and gave a small chuckle, "Yeah, I heard the bell ring when I was in the parking lot. At Least I don't have to get a punctual lecture from mr-" From the front the the room a loud "Ahem" was heard, causing the two to stare towards Mr. Jackson who was looking directly at them when he said "When it suits you two ladies in the corner, I would like to begin the lesson."
The class began to laugh but they were cut short by a death stare given by Mr. Jackson.
He began the lesson, although it lasted about an hour to Stan it felt like a day, which is weird because he wouldn't usually dislike the class to that extent. But then he started talking about something Stan was interested in, the recent ruling to allow Gay Marriage in the US.
Stan was interested because he doesn't know if he will settle down with a Girl or Boy, or at least try to settle down. Mr. Jackson then started speaking about sexual orientation, and that you should not be afraid of who you are and embrace it. This half-hour long lecture made Stan feel a bit better as it gave him courage, courage he will need when he comes out to Kyle.
Secretly, Kyle had been dealing with his own issues. As a matter of fact, they were similar issues that faced Stan. Everything but one was similar to Stan's issues. Kyle knew he liked guys, he knew he didn't just like any guy, but the one sitting next to him in Social Studies Class, the one he has spent pretty much all of his life with. And Kyle wants to spend the rest of his life with him, no matter how long it is. However, he too feels if he comes out to Stan, he may lose a friend, someone he can't live without.

Later on, during lunch, Stan and Kyle were at their own table, when Wendy arrives. "Hey Guys!" She says so enthusiastically when she sits down.
"What are you so happy about?" Stan asks.
"What, can I just not be happy to sit with my two friends?" She exclaims.
Stan and Kyle both look at her blankly, expressionless, all they do is blink.
"Ok, fine. I needed to ask you a favor Stan." She says with the enthusiasm receding from her voice.
"What, do you need?" Stan replies, hesitant. It is unusual for her to ask him favors.
She begins "I need you to take me to…" She stops.
"Where?" Stan inquires.
"Jim's RX. I need to get something there. After school like"
"Uhm… Sure no problem, I guess!?"

After the bell rings to signify school is over, Stan and Wendy head to Stan's car. After getting into the car they both but on their seatbelts. As Stan puts his in he turns to Wendy and remarks "Buckle up buckaroo!" the two share a laugh, stan puts the stick into drive and starts driving to Jim's RX.
As they are leaving the parking lot Wendy turns to Stan and asks "Hey, can I go back to yours for a while? I realized I forgot my keys when I was in there and my parents won't be home for another few hours." When she says this Stan turns to her and smiles "Sure thing. My parents aren't home anyway, neither is Shelly." And so the two drove back to Stan's house.

Back at Stan's house, Stan gets out of the car and can see Wendy is still sitting down in it, he can see she is texting somebody, "Are you going to join me or will I let you sit out here for a few hours with the radio on?" He says jokingly. "Huh, wut!? Oh yeah." She puts the phone away and gets out of the car. Stan locks it and the two walk to his front door. Stan turns the key and opens the door. It's dark inside so he walks over to where he thinks the light switch is. He begins to feel around the wall for it and finds it, flicking it on he is suddenly met with a "SURPRISE!" Now that the lights are on he can see around the living room. He can see balloons and banners of different colors labeled 'Happy 17th birthday!' all stan can do is laugh from the shock as he wasn't expecting anything like this.
Kyle walks over to Stan. "Kyle, did you do this?" Kyle is smiling at Stan and replys aloud "Well I can't take all the credit. I had a lot of help, haha." Stan leans over and gives Kyle a hug. "Thanks Kyle, you are the best friend in the world."
"Awwww… Thanks Stan." Kyle exclaimed as he let go of his Super Best Friend
It ended up being a long day, not in a bad way. Stan had fun at his party. Come 10:30 when most of the guests were gone, it was just Stan, Kyle, Ike, Randy and Sharon the boys went up to Stan's room, there Stan started opening up his birthday cards and gifts. Stan was sitting at his desk, Kyle was lying on the bed and Ike was sitting on a beanbag. Stan opened up a card from Uncle Jimbo. "So what's in that one?" Kyle asked. *20...30..40… uhm.. $50 bucks.." Kyle looks over to Stan "What does the card Say?" Stan begins to speak aloud "Stan, Happy Birthday to the biggest sissy I know, You will always be my favorite nephew, Uncle Jimbo." Kyle once again glances over at Stan "What he said was really nice" Stan turns around to address his friend "It is, until you realize i'm his only nephew." All Kyle can do is try to keep a straight face, trying not to laugh, alas he blurts out and just starts laughing along with Ike and Stan. Kyle sits up in the bed and turns so that his feet are touching the floor "Well," he says as he looks at his watch "It's late, about time we get going." He stands up and walks over to Stan, who turns his chair and stands up, the pair hug. "Thanks for today Kyle" Stan says as he embraces his friend. "No problem Stan" and like that they let go and kyle left with his brother.
