Thanks for the reviews, as usual, much appreciated! :-) You know the drill, R&R!
Chapter 2
Wendy's POV
The girls and I decide to go to Ruby Tuesday and get appetizers and desserts. I'm more so pigging out on the sweets.
"I still can't believe Stan broke up with you!" Bebe says.
"You guys knew he was cheating in Aspen and didn't say anything..." I remind her as I pour hot fudge on my ice cream and brownie.
"It wasn't my place to tell." She looks at Nicole who shrugs.
"Mine either." Nicole adds. "Besides, who cares about Stan Marsh? So what if he's the hottest guy in school," she looks at Bebe, "you better not tell Kyle I said that." She looks at me. "You could do so much better. You're too good for him!"
"If I'm too good for him, then how come I'm not with him?" I ask.
"Boys are jerks! You know that!"
"Yeah! Like Nicole said, you can do so much better!" Bebe adds.
"Yeah right. Like someone else would look good standing beside me as prom king. That's if I even win prom queen..." I lower my head.
"What makes you think you won't?"
"Oh come on, everyone knows Stan will be prom king, but if I'm not with him, I doubt I'll be prom queen."
"Or maybe you can go to prom with another date and he can be prom king..." Nicole suggests.
Bebe's eyes light up. "Oh my gosh, that's a great idea!"
"No, I don't think so." I tell them.
"Oh come on Wendy! You have to move on! Stan already has!" Nicole tells me.
"So?"
"So it's time to move on. Besides, it's only prom. No one said you have to get married!"
"I'm not interested..."
"Don't be like that. Stan isn't sitting around miserable, so why should you? He's totally replaceable!"
"I don't want to replace him."
"She can't do it Nicole." I hear Bebe whisper.
"Can't do what?"
Bebe smiles. "I bet you couldn't pick any guy in school and turn him into prom king material."
I roll my eyes. "I'm pretty sure I can, but I don't want to."
"Well if you think you can, why don't you put your money where your mouth is?"
I nod. "Fine! I can do that, no big deal!"
Bebe and Nicole exchange looks and smiles. "There's just one catch..."
"What?"
"We pick the guy!"
I sigh. "Fine."
They exchange looks again. "I say Butters!"
"Butters?" I'm already against this idea.
"No way! He's a complete dork!" Nicole tells Bebe. "What about Tweek?"
She shakes her head. "No, he's too hyper. What about Craig?"
"Isn't he gay?"
"Good point. Clyde isn't an option because if things don't work out with Kenny, I need my backup. Same thing with Token!" They discuss a few more potential guys.
About ten minutes later we see Eric Cartman waiting tables. He goes to the table next to us. He trips over God knows what bumping into the table. "Sorry! Hi, I'm Eric, I'll be your waiter…" He pushes up his glasses, yes, he's back wearing glasses now. I wouldn't be surprised if they were really stapled to his big ass head.
I notice Bebe and Nicole grinning from ear to ear. I shake my head as I know what they're thinking. "Oh no! I don't think so!"
"PERFECT!" They say in unison.
"No! Pick someone else!"
"Nuh uh! The deal was we get to pick the guy!" Bebe reminds me.
I look at Cartman. He's short and fat and wears glasses. His hair is always messy, his clothes are so dorky, his shoes are hardly ever tied, and he always has food stains on his clothes. Did I mention he's fat? Like seriously, he has man boobs! That's so unhealthy. He has to be over 300 pounds! At his height, which is about 5'8, that's so unhealthy. He's complete loser. Not to mention, he's also an asshole! How can such a nerd be so mean and nasty? It doesn't make any sense! He should have the best personality in the world.
"I'm backing out. There's no way he could ever be prom king. He's disgusting!"
"Well you have six weeks to try to turn him into one!" Bebe looks at her imaginary watch. "You're wasting time so I would get a move on." She and Nicole laugh.
"Come on girls! He's fat and nerdy. I mean, he's really has to lose that weight. He's a heart attack waiting to happen."
"Well Wendy, if you keep pigging out on chocolate cake, brownies, and ice cream you'll be a big fat ass right along with him." Bebe giggles.
I look down at the dessert and frown. I push the bowl away. "Plus he's short and not my type at all."
"He's taller than you." Nicole tells me.
"Barely…"
"Again, you're still wasting time…" Bebe reminds me.
I roll my eyes as I watch Cartman drop a tray of food. "What are the terms of the bet?"
Bebe shrugs. "We'll discuss that later." She grins.
"Fine, I'll give it a shot…" I get up and walk over to him. "Hi Cartman."
He looks up at me. "Are you talking to me?"
"Your name is Cartman, right?"
"Well actually my last name is Cartman. My first name is Eric."
I roll my eyes again. "Ok Eric!" I say through gritted teeth. "Do you need some help?"
"No thanks, if you help me, my boss will yell at me." He finishes picking up the tray and food and tries to walk off.
"Wait a minute." He looks at me. "Do you maybe, I don't know, what to hang out sometime?"
He looks shocked. "You want to hang out with me?"
I shrug. "Sure why not?"
I notice his face turns red and he looks away and pushes up his glasses. "I can't, I'm busy. I better get back to work…" He rushes off as I'm standing there looking dumbfounded.
I hear Bebe and Nicole snickering. I glare at them. "Just remember prom is only 6 weeks away!" Bebe reminds me again. "It looks like you've got your work cut out for you!" She and Nicole continue laughing. She's absolutely right. I was against the idea at first, but now that he rejected me, I'm up for the challenge! I'm going to make that boy prom king no matter what it takes…
Preview:
Wendy continues to pursue Cartman after seeing Stan and Heather.
Wendy and Cartman have their first date.
A/N: I know Cartman isn't a nerd, but I thought it would be a change of pace for him. :-)
