A/N: Hidy Hoe! I know it's been over a year since I've been on this site, or updated this story, but I'm gonna try to pick up where I left off. I'm actually going to steer this story into a different direction, but it'll be good, I promise : I'm going to be adding some new characters and you're finally gonna see some Stan, Cartman, etc. I know the punctuation and grammar might be a bit off, sorry, I didn't actually pay attention in 3rd grade . . Still, please review and enjoy!

Lying is Your Favorite Passion

"I'm serious! They totally made out. And Kyle looked pissed off, he practically killed Kenny, she like had to intervene and everything. It was crazy!"

Wendy Testaburger had a reputation of being the school gossip. No one could tell the story better than her, even if she sometimes added and left out some details. Her and her circle of friends were sitting in the desks at the back of the classroom giggling and gossiping. Wendy's latest tall tale was about Ariana. Apparently, she had turned Kyle into a raging jealous maniac who tried to kill Kenny.

Ariana was seated only a few seats down, yet she remained completely obtuse to the lies being told about her. She chewed on her pencil, a habit she had tried and failed to break, while thinking about the whole everything that had just taken place. She felt like a complete ass for kissing Kenny just now, and admitted that had been a dickhead move, but the look on Kyle's face...he had been completely jealous. She just couldn't help herself.

"What's up at chuuu, Ani" A highpitched voice broke her train of thought.

A tall, blonde girl was taking a seat next to her. She had hazel eyes, and was as skinny as a 2x4 plank of wood. The way she adapted internet slang to real life conversations, and her scatterbrained personality is what Ariana loved about her best friend, Alicia.

"Hey Alicia." She said simply.

"Aye, so what's this I hear about you and some guy making out?"

"WHAT?!"

Just then Mrs.Garrison walked in and told the class to shut the hell up. Judging on her irritable attitude, she probably had been dumped again. Goddamnit. She turned her back to the board to write down some incredibly unreasonable assignment, even though it was the first day. At that moment Kyle snuck into the classroom and over to a desk in front of Alicia, and next to his best friend, Stan.

"KYLE WHY ARE YOU LATE TO MY CLASS?" Mrs.Garrison turned around and began this long lecture about the consequences of being late to class, probably fully aware that no one was actually paying attention.

"Who said I was making out with anyone?" Ariana whispered.

"Well, I heard it from Powder, who heard it from Bertha, who heard it from Bebe." It was just like Alicia to get caught up in all these rumors. A deadly trait of hers.

"It's not true though! I didn't make out with him!" She protested a little too loudly and the class erupted in laughter.

"Ms.Estes, is there something you would like to share with the class?" Mrs.Garrison said dropping the whole 'late to class' lecture.

"No, Mrs.Garrison."

"Well, then shut up! Now where was I? Oh yes, I want you to have this essay in by tomorrow, no acceptions!"

This was going to be a long first day...

Mrs.Garrison was rambling on and on about how lesbians are just as bad as men, when luckily enough the lunch bell rang. The kids dashed to the door and Mrs. Garrison just yelled about how she would finish her story after class. Ariana got up reluctantly, afraid of what the free range of the lunchroom would bring her. The only thing that could make this worse was...

"Hey you." A lovestruck mumbling Kenny approached her, Alicia took this as her cue to exit stage left. Ariana wished she hadn't left her alone with him.

"Hey.." She said awkwardly

"So who are you sitting with at lunch? Cause I was wondering if you wanted to sit with me and the guys." Kenny's expression was dreamy and hopeful. How could she say no, especially after the whole charade in the hallway before class.

"Sure, can Alicia sit with us too?" She thought maybe that might make it less awkward.

"Yup."

He grabbed her hand, although a little uncomfortable with it, she let him. They walked to the lunchroom, people snickered as they walked by. Just shrug it off she told herself. They walked into the lunch line, got their lunch and took a seat.

"Guys, I'd like you to meet Ariana."

"Awuh, Kenny's got a girlfriend, does she know you're..."

"Hey. I'm Stan, I think you're in my class." Stan cut off Cartman's insult, and Kenny silently thanked him.

"Yeah." She smiled, Stan seemed like a nice guy.

"And this is Cartman, or fatass, as we like to call him." Kenny pointed to him as Cartman just glared.

"And that's..."

"We already met, thank you very much." Kyle snapped. Ariana's heart fluttered, as she took notice of Rebecca's absence.

Alicia came over to the table, apparently getting the text she sent. She sat next to Ariana, and across from Stan. He cracked an awkward smile and she mirrored the action.

"Hey, I'm Alicia..."

"Stan" That was all he could get out. Alicia blushed.

"So, Ariana, do you maybe wanna hang out later?" Kenny asked, not taking note of the lovestruck couple exchanging googly eyes.

"Uhmmm..." Ariana hesitated, "Sure, why don't you come over to my house after school?"

"He can't, he's already said he was coming over my house...to do that thing." Kyle lied.

"Well, how about we swing by your house then? If that's okay with you." Kenny suggested. He figured it would be less wierd with Kyle, maybe he could even invite Rebecca.

Kyle and Ariana both made a face. Kyle didn't want Kenny and her to be together at all. Let alone at his house, but at least this way he could monitor them. He gave the okay to Kenny.

Kenny put his arm around Ariana's shoulder. She saw the girls over at Wendy's table whispering suddenly and Wendy had a big smirk on her face. It dawned on her that it had probably been Wendy who had started that lie. Bitch. Kenny gave her shoulder a little squeeze and her mind came back to this table. She looked over at Cartman who was scarfing down his 2 lunches, at Stan and Alicia who were having what looked to be like an interesting conversation, and at Kyle who was looking at the floor sullenly. She wanted to give him a huge bear hug, yet remembering Kenny and her were 'an item'. Maybe she could let Kenny down easily when they hung out today..wait, that was a brilliant idea! Just explain to him that she was completely in love with Kyle. He would understand...right?

The bell rang and everyone exited the lunchroom, Kenny walked her all the way back to her class. He leaned in for a kiss, but she dodged it, claiming that Mrs. Garrison was a hard ass about being late and dashed into the classroom. If she was gonna break it to him after school she couldn't keep giving him the idea that she liked him.

Kyle was standing near the water fountain. He had seen the little action and smiled. Maybe there was hope for him after all. Wait, wasn't he supposed to be with Rebecca? After school might bring a few surprises after all...
