I am sitting at my desk staring down at the blank paper that I'm supposed to take notes on and my slightly chewed pencil that I got my last birthday. The bright and cheerful letters that spells out Happy Birthday seems so unsuitable now. Kyle has been giving me dirty looks all day and Clyde, Token and Carl refuse to look at me.
Mr. Garrison does not notice the misery I am in and just continues to teach us our lesson. Behind me Wendy and Sally are whispering. I can hear Wendy's high pitched voice saying my name and Sally's talking about Clyde. Everyone or at least I know that she has always had a crush on him.
The school bell rings and hurts my ears. I get up slowly and walk out of the classroom to get ready for recess. When I get to the door I hear my name. I turn around to see Kevin, Craig and Tweek running towards me. "Hey guys," I say.
Tweek and Kevin's faces turn into sympathetic looks while Craig's remains blank. "We know you're feeling down today but please cheer up. You still have us and you always will." Says Kevin.
A feeling of warmth comes through me quickly and I look up at my friends.
"Th-that's true Stan! No matter how many pairs of underwear the gnomes take from you I will a-always be there!" stammers Tweek as his body shakes up and down. Someone had coffee this morning. Craig just nods with a smile.
I smile and look up at my friends with warmth in my eyes. "Thanks guys, let's go outside."
The four of us go out the doors, and walks into the fields where everyone is playing and having fun. We walk to a nice large shady tree and stand by it. I lean against a sloping branch while Craig climbs to a comfortable spot. I spot Kyle in his green hat and orange coat from a far with a crowd of kids. I can easily point out all of them just by their coats and shit. Yellow hair, blue coat is obviously Butters, purple coat dark skin is Token, red jacket and brown hair is Clyde, and the kid with the red jacket and black and white hat is Carl.
They seem to be laughing and talking. "I wonder what they're talking about." speaks up Kevin in wonder.
I nod. "Me too,"
Kevin turns and looks at me, I look back. "Maybe there's a way we can find out!" Kevin exclaims.
"How about we get one of us to join their conversation and find out what they can about them." Craig suggests.
"But which one of us? It can't be me because I am the one they are mad at." I ask.
"Or me because I'm too obvious." adds Kevin.
Three heads turns to Tweek whom's eyes widen. "No way dudes! That is way to much pressure!" screams Tweek.
Craig hops out of the tree and faces us. "I'll do it."
I smile at Craig. "Thanks dude."
"What should I say?" Craig asks.
Kevin shrugs. "Just say you're mad at us or something." He suggests.
"And act really pissed off." I add.
Craig shrugs and begins to walk over.
"Good luck!" Kevin and I call as we watch him walk over. I turn around and see a very frightening sight. I see Pip and Damien on the school fence eating lunch together and talking! I gasp and shake Kevin's shoulder.
"It's them! It's them!" I screech.
Kevin looks at me as if I have gone completely wack-o. "It's who?"
"Pip and Damien turn around!"
Kevin and I turn our heads but they are gone. "Stan, are you okay?" he asks.
I nod my head and Kevin shrugs and turns to look over at the group. Craig is in the group I can tell from his dark blue hat with the yellow puffy thing on top and his blue jacket. We watch them for a bit.
"Hey what are you fags doing?" speaks up a voice of a kid I know way to well.
I turn around and see Cartman, Kenny, Timmy and Jimmy together.
"Why aren't you with them?" Kenny asks us. He points one of his fuzzy brown mittens to the group.
"Why aren't you?" responds Kevin.
Cartman shrugs. "Carl's a fucking douche bag."
I look at Kevin and exchange worried glances. We both know it is time we get Craig but we can't let Cartman know or get suspicious. He will tell the whole school.
"Well we better get going. See you in a bit Cartman. You can have the tree." I reply as we walk away.
"Th-th-thanks S-Stan!" yells Jimmy with a smile as we walk away.
"Okay guys we have to act all pissed off. Let me do the talking." Whispers Kevin as we walk closer and closer to the group. A bunch of butterflies grows inside of me as their images begin to get clearer and clearer.
"Craig can we talk to you?" asks Kevin when we get there in an icy tone. The tone he uses when he's super mega pissed off.
The group looks up. I feel awkward as their eyes beat down on me. I know that Kyle is saying "Fuck you Stan." In his head and that Carl knows that I hate him now.
Taking on Kevin's lead, Craig gives us a dirty look. "Fine!" he scowls and we walk away looking like we are all pissed off. I'm not sure if they bought it but I hope to God they do. I know they will find out eventually but now is not the time.
When we get from a safe distance from their group we ask Craig what they said. My heart is pounding like crazy.
Craig sighs and looks up at me. "It's not good news Stan. Somebody called you a drama queen and Carl thinks you're a two timer. They also said you are too queasy stomached and just do the move with Wendy. They said a lot of things about you Stan."
My legs begin to shake and sadness comes through me like a dark cloud. I feel like running over to the goth kids and joining them or just killing myself. I thought these people were my friends and they just backstabbed me like that. A big part of my life has just ended in front of me. "Do you know who said each?" I ask.
Craig shakes his head. "Sorry Stan." Recess ends and my life pretty much did too.
I am now in the classroom ready to let my so called "friends" know that I know what they said. It pisses me off that Kyle would say this sort of things about us. There was once a possibility of us being friends again but that sure is gone.
I storm towards the group of them as they talk happily. It pains me to see Kyle so happy not caring that our once lifetime friendship is over.
"I know what you all said." I say as their heads turn to look at me. My stomach starts turning summersaults but I don't care.
"What are you talking about Stan?" asks Token in his clueless tone.
"Too queasy stomached, drama queen, two timer does that sound familier?" I ask. Each one of them give me mad glances.
"At least we're the ones that let our friends hang out with whoever they want!" exclaims Butters.
"I wish I was dead!" I scream. Boy is it nice to let my feelings out.
"Don't wish that!" gasps Red.
I look at Kyle. "How dare you say that stuff about me?"
Kyle gives me a horrified look. "I didn't say anything!"
"Don't lie."
Kyle narrows his eyes at me and I can feel my heart sinking to my feet. It pains me inside knowing that he is lying to me and denying the fact that he said stuff. I know he did. I know they all did. It's pretty fucking obvious.
"Whatever Stan you can believe whatever you want. But we will never be friends again."
My eyes begin to water but I blink to hold them back. "Fine!" I scream.
The ground begins to shake underneath us and I can hear screams from out side the school.
"Stan what's going on?" asks Wendy as she runs up to me and grabs my arm.
"I don't know." I whisper.
I run out of the room and out of the school doors. I look at the surroundings around me. The town is dark we have clearly lost power and flames are everywhere. I see people screaming and running around. I look to my side and Pip is right there beside me staring at me.
"It's started." He whispers.
I try to scream but it all goes black.
