The following Monday marked the 4th week Sophia had been at South Park Elementary. It also marked the 4th week Cartman hadn't heard her talk. Stan, Kyle, and Cartman went into Mr. Garrison's room and sat down. Shortly afterwards, Butters and Sophia came in. Cartman glared at Sophia but she paid no attention. Stan and Kyle decided this would be the best time to tell their rotund "friend" about Sophia.

"Psst, fatass," Kyle whispered.

"I'm not fat! I'm big boned!" Cartman protested, rather loudly.

"Shh!" Stan shushed.

Mr. Garrison arrived, sooner than expected. Class has started, so now wasn't the best time.

Lunch arrived, and that couldn't be a more perfect time to talk.

"So, what's this thing you just had to tell me that just couldn't wait?" Cartman said, somewhat sarcastically.

"We know why Sophia isn't talking," Stan said in a serious tone.

"What?! Why did she tell you?" Cartman shouted in disbelief.

"Because we talked to her," Kyle says.

"Hey, I talked to her too!" Cartman responded loudly.

"You didn't talk to her, you threatened her. There's a difference," Stan replied.

"Whatever. Now why isn't she squawking?" Cartman questioned.

Stan and Kyle began telling Cartman Sophia's backstory, word for word. As they were speaking, Cartman occasionally looked at Sophia. They finally finished.

"Did she really tell you that?" Cartman asked.

"Yep. That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," Kyle states.

"So, let me get this straight. She doesn't talk because she's afraid of people judging her?" Cartman said in a tone of disbelief.

"Yes," Stan says.

"That has got to be...the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard!" Cartman yelled.

"What the fuck, Cartman!" Stan shouts angrily.

Without saying a word, Cartman went up to Sophia.

"Meet me in the playground after school," Cartman said gruffly while poking Sophia in the shoulder.


It was time for the final showdown between Eric Cartman and Sophia Bantercross. The entire fourth grade gathered around. Cartman faced Sophia and glared at him. She faced him and gave him a blank stare. He walked toward her. Sophia started to walk toward him, but Butters grabbed her arm.

"Y-you don't have to d-do this," Butters said with worry. Sophia responded by softly pushing him aside and continuing to approach Cartman. They stopped once they met in the middle.

"Ok, I'm going to give you one last chance. Talk!" Cartman said in a threatening tone.

Sophia boldly folded her arms and gave him a look that said "I ain't talkin'!"

"I said talk, you little retarded whore!" Cartman hollered.

Sophia's arms remained folded. A cocky smirk creeped onto her face. She fearlessly shook her head.

Cartman was outraged that someone wasn't respecting his authority.

"That's it! I've had it with you!" Cartman screamed. He raised his arm.

WHAP! Cartman's hand slammed against Sophia's cheek with a powerful force. She got knocked back and she landed on the ground. Everyone who was watching was shocked. Some of them gasped in disbelief.

Cartman has officially crossed the line. Sophia was about to go ballistic. She sprung up from the ground and pounced on her classmate. She grabbed his neck and violently shook him. She wasn't choking him, but her fingers were deeply dug into his neck. She used her right hand to slap his face, both front hand and back hand. She kept doing so until Cartman's face became bruised. Sophia kicked Cartman in the leg so hard he had to fall on his back. She grabbed his arm and rolled up his sleeve. She bit him on the arm so hard he screamed in pain. She continued to slap him. When she was so sure he had enough, she stood over him. She pointed at him menacingly.

"I don't like you. And I don't talk to those I don't like," Sophia said.


Final Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed my first South Park fanfic. Sophia is actually based on me. I unfortunately do not own a pet guinea pig named Peanut. :P But I do have the same backstory as her. I don't talk much for the exact reason as Sophia. I would like to thank everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed my story. I appreciate it very much. It seems like this turned out to be a success despite the fact that I know very little about South Park. What do you think? Should I write another South Park fic? Please PM me or put in the review section if I should or not. See you around. :)
