Chapter 7

We all stood up from the couches and stared at the surprised and ridiculous faces our parents were making.

"Um…Kids, can you go outside for a moment while we parents discuss this situation, please." My Dad managed to say before my Mom had a fit.

All four of us walked out the door. The moment we stepped outside we burst into laughter.

"Kyle, did you see your Mom's face!" Kenny said laughing.

"You should have seen my Dad!" added Natalie.

I kept walking in the cold snow as Kenny and Natalie stayed behind. Maureen kept close to me.

"Does this mean we're together?" Maureen asked.

"Guess so." I said answering her question, smiling.

We were about to kiss once more when I heard, "Hey, Jew!" from the direction behind me. I looked back as Cartman stood in the sidewalk.

"Did they throw you out?" He joked, when actually that was the truth.

"Well…" I started.

"Oh, hey Maureen." He said before I could answer, "Why are you hugging Kyle? He's a Jew you know." Cartman said as if I weren't there

"Yes, Eric, I know he's Jewish," Maureen answered calmly. "But we're together now." She proudly declared as she looked at me.

"That's just a little joke, right? I mean, Kyle would never have the courage to tell you he loved since all throughout the 5th, 6th and 7th grade everyone knew he liked you except for, well, you." Cartman explained.

I looked down nervously as I shook my head.

Maureen didn't answer except for a nod.

"Well see ya guys, later!" Cartman said as he left.

"Hey Kenny! You and Natalie together, too?" Cartman teased as he walked passed them.

Both Kenny and Natalie looked embarrassed since they probably had no idea what Cartman was talking about.

About three minutes later the front door swung open and out came the Rolands and the Danforts.

"I'm so, terribly sorry." My mom said as they walked out the door.

"It's okay," said Mrs. Roland "you know how kids are these days."

"C'mon, Natalie." Mr. Danfort said as he snatched his daughter's hand.

Natalie kept eye contact with Kenny as she walked away.

"Maureen, let's go." Said Mr. Roland. Maureen walked behind her parents as she waved good-bye to me and proudly held one of her mischievous smiles.

"Kenny, I suppose you should be going now. It's getting late." My Mom said to Kenny.

"Yes, Mrs. Broflovski." Kenny answered as he started walking toward his house. "Bye, dude." He said to me as he left.

My Mom and I walked inside.

"Kyle, go to your room and think of what you have done." My Mom ordered.

I really didn't find anything particularly wrong in what I had done. I mean, I loved Maureen and that was just something that happened all of a sudden and still, the only thing she took off was my hat from my head!

When I got to my room I slumped myself into my bed and looked at the ceiling.

"Ike" I heard my Mom say from the other side of the wall "where were you when this happened?"

"In the stairs, playing with my Nintendo DS." Ike answered calmly.

"Did you see anything that happened?" My Mom questioned.

"Well I just saw Kyle making-out with Maureen, and Kenny with that other girl."

"Your brother sets such bad examples for you." I heard my Mom say. "But all of their clothes stayed on, right?" she asked trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Yeah, pretty much." Ike answered.

Thank You, Ike! I thought in my head, since I knew Ike could have lied, especially when I stole that blueberry muffin from his lunchbox last week.

I changed into some pajamas and layed on my bed, and before I knew it, I was resting in a deep sleep.
