Kyle's POV
The three of us pile into my car as we drive into town, with Kenny riding shotgun and Tweek in the back with some leftover boxes I haven't moved yet.
"How did you guys get here anyways? I didn't see a car and I thought Tweek's parents were too busy." I ask them curiously, I forgot all about that and it just kinda came back into mind.
Kenny just smirks, "Funny you should mention that." He turns to Tweek "Tweek buddy, do you wanna fill our dear friend Kyle here in?"
He nods excitedly before bursting out, "My parents finally let me have one of their cars, it's mine now!" Given 8 years ago, he'd be shaking and pulling his hair out, shouting about how it's too much pressure. He's made quite a change and I can't help but be proud of him.
"That's great Tweek, where is it?"
"Umm… See, we went to go shopping a while before you got here and when we went to get the car, it was clamped. Apparently the place KENNY told me to park at was a no parking zone so we have to talk to security and OH GOD…" He starts panicking again, I try to comfort him without keeping my eyes off the road.
Kenny then finishes the story for him, basically Tweek got freaked out because the guy was bigger than him and when they finally got the clamp off his car, Kenny scared him when he was unlocking the car and the key snapped inside the keyhole. So they took a cab back to the house. I just take it in and shake my head, Tweek is calm around us but he still fidgets around other people or when he gets nervous, I guess its part of his social anxiety, poor Tweek. Hopefully one day I could make things better for him.
We drive around and it is definitely a different scene from that redneck little mountain town we grew up in, even with all the PC stuff and the development done. We stop by the first bar we see, it kinda reminds me of Skeeter's back at South Park, only much cleaner. Kenny walks over to the bartender with some fake IDs and orders our usuals, Scotch for him, Rum and Cola for me and Irish coffee for Tweek. It took us a while to find something he likes but we should have figured. We start talking about our new lives here, our classes and about the house.
"Seriously, Kenny? Where the fuck did you get such a sweet deal for that place?" I just have to know where he gets this info, I checked around the neighbourhood and no house within 5 blocks comes close to the rent we pay for that pad. We really lucked out bringing Kenny along with us.
"I know people, Kyle. That's what happens when you get around from party to party." He empties his glass and says mischievously to me.
"You mean when you sleep around from party to party." I roll my eyes at him, I won't lie, I'm his friend and all but his track record isn't something I'd bring up even if he proudly owns it like a medal. Kenny has a reputation of being a whore and that incident in 3rd grade didn't help his case, but we were just kids, kids do stupid shit all the time, I digress. He had this reputation since high school after a fling with 3 girls in one night at Heidi Turner's 16th birthday party and he's been living up to it ever since.
"Not something I'm denying. You know, Kyle, I can always hook you up with a nice guy." He sounds proud but then asks me with a clear tone of caution in his voice.
"Kenny, why'd you bring this up?!" I'm surprised he's bringing this up. We don't normally talk about this.
He hesitates, like he's trying to find the right words. "Look dude, I know I shouldn't rush you or whatever but you haven't dated anyone since 6th grade, the last time you kissed someone was junior year in high school. Tweek has been making more progress than you have."
"Kenny you know why, you know how I am with dating."
"Kyle, K-Kenny's right. You've helped m-me with my problems. You should focus on yours too. Try and face it head on like you always tell me." Tweek adds. I have been encouraging him to try and be more social while Kenny and I are there to help him but my case is different.
"Kyle, bud. Don't you want to know what you're missing?" Kenny asks
"I know, guys, I know." I sigh, I don't want to talk about this anymore. "But I just… I need to pace myself and maybe find someone then."
They let the topic drop, thankfully. Kenny downs his drink and gets up"I'm going for another round, who wants?"
"I'm done, I'm driving." Better play it safe, 2 rum and cokes is enough for one night. I definitely don't want a DUI on my first night here. "You better watch it too, don't you have work tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, Kylie~ I know what I'm doing." Kenny winks at me and I just roll my eyes again. "Tweek?" He turns to our caffeine addicted friend to found him staring outside the window, his shock face turns pale, whatever he's looking at is scaring him big time. I look out to search for what he's looking at and I'm pretty sure I just mirrored his expression. Down the street is an apartment complex, about 10 stories high and on the top is a figure sitting on the edge. I think I might be about to witness a suicide.
We throw some money onto the table and dash out to the building as fast as we can. As I run, a possibility pops into my mind, what if this person is just sitting there and not about to jump to definite death. We arrive at the foot of the building, I ask Kenny and Tweek to stay right outside and to be call the police if our suspicions do turn out being the darker of the two. I manage to sneak pass the guard and get onto the elevator, luckily this apartment isn't one of those fancy ones where you need a key card to activate it. I click the button indicating the highest floor and pray that I'm not too late. I find the door that leads to the rooftop and I start to think of a game plan.
A/N: Small cliffhanger there.
Who's the figure on the buliding? Next week, we'll still be following Kyle as he figures out.
