A/N: It's been a little while since I've updated. I honestly can't remember how long, but I know it's been a bit. Anyway, I'm in kind of a depressed mood, so this chapter is going to be a bit sad or rushed or not good at all. Spring break has sucked so far. I mean, seriously. I miss my boyfriend tons, and I have no way of getting a hold of him. Insert sad-face here. Anyway, thank you all the reviewed on the last chapter. I do appreciate it. So, please enjoy this new chapter and leave a kind review!

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Kenny sat in his last period class, fidgeting with his pencil and staring at the clock. He knew that the teacher was going on about something important, but he really could care less at the moment. Kenny just wanted to leave. He couldn't go home, since his mother most likely knew that he was going to be there. But at the same time he couldn't spend too much time with Butters. Kenny was afraid that he would do something stupid like at lunch. Or something even worse.

Fifteen minutes until the bell rang. The blonde could hardly stand it. Each moment that ticked by felt even longer than the last. The room was suffocating him and making his skin almost too tight. Kenny couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his hand, brushing blonde locks away from his face.

"Yes?"

"May I use the restroom?" Kenny squeaked. The teacher quickly glanced at the clock.

"Be back by the end of class." They replied. Kenny shot up from his seat, grabbing his backpack. The teacher didn't even notice. Kenny wasn't sure why he hadn't thought of this before. It was way too easy, especially since this teacher was an idiot.

Kenny quietly shut the classroom door behind him, taking off down the hall. He kept his head low and his pace steady but quick. If anyone caught him out of class they would stop him and make him go back. The blonde really didn't want to go back. It was killing the inside of his brain.

The blonde suddenly turned sharply, forcing almost all of his body weight against the bathroom door. He stumbled inside, watching himself in the mirror. When Kenny gathered himself, he stood there, staring at himself in the mirror. He slowly reached up and pulled down his hood. When was the last time he really looked at himself?

His skin was much paler than Kenny remembered. Dark circles hung around his eyes, making him look sick or something. The blonde's cheeks were hollowed out, creating an eerie look. His lips were red and swollen looking. No wonder Butters brought him lunch; Kenny looked like he belonged in a horror movie or in a hospital, not in school. Kenny moved to clear his matted blonde locks away from his face; his bones creaked with every movement. It sucked.

Just looking at himself made Kenny want to die.

"How could Butters like me anyway?" Kenny asked himself, pushing those previous thoughts away. Kenny was sure that Butters would never like him; he had been convincing himself all day. Not only was Kenny a mean person (in his opinion), he also had a horrible reputation. And Kenny did not want to get Butters caught up in that. It was unfair to him.

Kenny shook his head, all of his worries brushing off of him. The blonde could sense that school was going to be over soon. He turned, walking out the door and putting his hood on at the same time. He stalked down the hall, trying to appear confident when on the inside he really just felt like crying. The past two days had done a toll on Kenny's mental health.

Kenny finally found the classroom that he was looking for: Butters 6th period. Kenny knew that it was probably a bad idea to be hanging around Butters since his mind was on haywire today and he might do something wrong, but Kenny also knew that he couldn't just avoid Butters. It would hurt Butters feelings, and that was the last thing that Kenny wanted to do. Kenny sighed to himself, leaning against the wall next to the classroom door. Could things get any more confusing?

The bell rang, and just like that that whole school came pouring out of classrooms. They were excitedly talking to each other, any part of any conversation getting lost in the buzz of everyone else. Kenny turned his head just in time to see Butters walking out of his classroom… with Cartman.

Damn.

"H-hey Kenny!" Butters exclaimed, his face a slight tint of pink. Cartman rolled his eyes.

"What're you doing here?" The fat boy asked with distaste. Kenny glared at him. He really wanted to punch Cartman for not only being rude, but for also butting in on his 'Butters time'.

"Nice to see you, too." Kenny flatly replied. Cartman glared at him as Kenny turned and gave Butters a warm smile.

"Ready to go home?" Kenny asked, ignoring Cartman's rude looks. Butters nodded his head as they started to walk down the hall, the fat ass lagging behind them.

"Kenny, what're you doing tomorrow night?!" Cartman squealed, rudely butting in between Butters and Kenny. Kenny could feel the anger inside of him rising.

"Probably hanging out with Butters. Why?" Kenny carefully replied. Whatever Cartman was thinking couldn't be good at all.

"Why don't you two hang out with Stan and Kyle and me? It'll be 'fun'." Cartman replied with a sly looking smile. Kenny was about to reply with a big, fat, resounding 'no', but Butters replied before he could.

"Sure, why not?! That sounds like fun!" Butters happily said, a short giggle escaping him. Kenny felt himself blush a little as he tried to avoid Cartman's look.

"See you then." Cartman replied, bounding (more like flopping) down the front steps to the school. Kenny watched his take off down the sidewalk for a minute, unsure of what to do or say now. He turned to Butters after a minute, trying to give him a smile.

"Ready to go?" He asked, taking a step down the flights of steps. Butters skipped down them, turning towards Kenny at the bottom and smiling.

"I have to go to the store. My mom wants me to pick up some tin foil. Want to come with?" Butters happily asked. Kenny had a sudden memory of when Butters was 'Professor Chaos' and laughed to himself a little. He walked down the steps next to Butters, wiping away his laughter as he brushed some hair out of his face.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go." Kenny replied, started to walk down the sidewalk. Butters quickly fell into step with him. They walked in silence for a little bit, just enjoying each other's company.

"I-it sure is cold w-with the sun behind the t-trees." Butters stated through chattering teeth. Kenny felt his chest swell and his heart skip a beat as his mind came up with a crazy idea. He quickly but slowly reached out beside him, lightly touching Butters hand before grabbing it. Butters was right. The other boys hand was cold compared to Kenny's hot and sweaty one. Kenny turned to Butters, smiling slightly at Butters furious flushed one.

"I'll keep you warm." Kenny replied, squeezing Butters hand slightly. Butters smiled widely, swinging their hands back and forth together.

"Sounds good to me."

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

That took a lot longer to type than it should have. It's nice and long to make up for all of those short ones. The next chapter should be up fairly soon, since I know what to do for the next three chapters or so. I do hope that everyone like this one. It was kind of rushed at the end. Anyway, please leave a kind review!
