"You TOLD her!" Kyle shrieked knocking his cousin up against the wall.
"What are you talking about?" His cousin asked.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about, you showed her the fucking journal," Kyle said angrily.
"Well a mother does have the right to know," His cousin said shoving him away and walking off.
"Kyle and Kyle two it is time for dinner!" His mom suddenly called out, he sighed and rolled his eyes he didn't want to eat with his monster of a cousin.

"I hope the reason you've hardly touched your food is because you feel guilty about being gay Kyle two," His mom said. Kyle bit down on his tongue and glared at his cousin, he could feel the metallic taste of blood enter his mouth.
"Yeah Kyle, everyone knows it's disgusting to be gay," His cousin said in a know it all voice; Kyle wanted to punch him. After dinner Kyle's bad mood was deepened when his mom told him that he would have to do the dishes with his cousin.
"Let's just get this over with," He said angrily.
"Okay," His cousin said. As Kyle washed the dishes his cousin just stood there with his back against the counter supervising him.
"Aren't you going to help?" Kyle snapped.
"It seems like you're getting along fine on our own," His cousin said walking out of the kitchen leaving Kyle to glare after him.

"Hey dude," Kyle said to Stan at the bus stop the next morning.
"Hey," Stan replied, a few minutes later Cartman came walking up.
"You guys will not believe….," He started to say but when Kyle's cousin walked up Stan and Cartman ran over to him leaving Kyle standing by himself. A few minutes later Kenny came running up with his arms full of about twenty magazines and instead of saying hi to Kyle he just ran straight up to Kyle's cousin and started a conversation with him. Well this day sure is starting off great. Kyle thought sarcastically as the bus lurched up. Once again he decided to sit in the front seat so he could be as far away from his cousin, who was sitting in his usual seat by his best friend.
"Hi," He heard Clyde say.
"Hi," He replied.
"Can I sit here? No one else wants to sit by a cripple beater," He said making air quotations around the words 'cripple beater'.
"Sure," Kyle replied scooting over so Clyde could sit down.
"Is it true?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"Is what true?" Kyle asked.
"Well, I got online last night and I got a random IM from your cousin that was a link to a blog, and I clicked on it and it was a scanned copy of your journal, and I know it was your's because it's your handwriting, well anyways what I'm trying to ask is are you gay?" Clyde asked. Kyle looked down,
"Who else knows about this?" He asked angrily.
"Your cousin said he only sent it to about sixteen other people," Clyde answered.
"Sixteen other people!" He shrieked and before he could say anymore he was silenced by Clyde's lips on his.

"Students today we will be doing a group project," Ms. Garrison started. Kyle groaned when he saw that everyone was already looking at his cousin to see if he wanted to be their partner.
"Before you make any haste decisions on who you want to be in your group let me tell you that we are going to have just two people in a group instead of the normal four," Ms. Garrison said.
"Why?" Bebe asked.
"Because this will only work with two people," Ms. Garrison said.
"I am not getting married to anyone in this classroom!" Cartman exclaimed.
"Get your mind out of the gutter Eric, that isn't what this project is about," Ms. Garrison said rolling her eyes.
"Then what's it about?" Craig called from the back of the room flipping Ms. Garrison off.
"Craig go to the counselor's office!" Ms. Garrison yelled; Craig shrugged and walked to the door flipping the class off on his way out.
"As I was saying for your project you will have to come up with a planet that you want to study," Ms. Garrison said.
"I pick Pluto," Cartman called.
"Pluto isn't a planet fat ass," Kyle said.
"Yeah it is Jew!" Cartman retorted.
"No it's not, they decided it wasn't a planet," Kyle said.
"Prove it!" Cartman sneered.
"Fine," Kyle said pulling a National Geographic out of his back pack and slamming it on the desk.
According to the new definition, a full-fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. In addition, a planet has to dominate the neighborhood around its orbit.
Pluto has been demoted because it does not dominate its neighborhood. Charon, its large "moon," is only about half the size of Pluto, while all the true planets are far larger than their moons.
In addition, bodies that dominate their neighborhoods, "sweep up" asteroids, comets, and other debris, clearing a path along their orbits. By contrast, Pluto's orbit is somewhat untidy.
"Told you fat ass," Kyle said.
"Okay so we know that Pluto isn't a real planet can we just get on with the project?" Ms. Garrison asked. The class nodded their heads.
"Okay now choose a partner," Ms. Garrison said. Kyle wasn't surprised when he saw that Stan grouped up with Wendy but his mouth dropped open in shock when Kenny chose to be his cousin's partner.
"Want to be partners?" Clyde asked.
"Sure," Kyle said blushing remembering what happened on the bus that morning.
"Oh and about the thing on the bus, I'm sorry about that," Clyde said fidgeting nervously.
"It's okay," Kyle replied.
"Yeah so, what planet should we do?" Clyde asked.
"I was thinking Saturn," Kyle answered.
"Then Saturn it is," Clyde said with a smile.

"You're holding up the damn lunch line again," Cartman said shoving Stan.
"I'm going I'm going," Stan complained.
"I swear this is the last time you will be in front of me in the lunch line," Cartman said angrily.
"Whatever dude," Stan said walking off to go sit at their normal table, Cartman ordered three chili dogs and followed Stan to sit at their table.
"Don't you think it's kind of mean to leave Kyle out?" Stan asked when he saw that Kyle was sitting at a table with no one but the cripple beater.
"Nope the filthy Jew finally gets what he deserves," Cartman said, Kyle's cousin nodded in agreement.
"Well okay," Stan said once more looking at Kyle before dipping his spoon in his chocolate pudding.
