After a long, bumpy ride, the bus finally pulled up to South Park High School. The letter that the kids had gotten in the mail told them to report to the auditorium first thing in the morning on their first day. All the students clamored off the bus and ran to try and get seats next to their friends in the auditorium. The boys took their seats in the back row.
Just then, a girly voice came from up the hall.
"Stan! Stan!" It was Wendy. Stan grinned and got up immediately to meet her. The two teenagers threw their arms around each other and pulled into a tight embrace. Wendy gently placed kisses on his nose while both of them laughed.
"I missed you so much babe!" Stan cooed in her ear.
"I missed you too, Stanie-kins. " Wendy said, twirling a finger through his shiny black hair that stuck out from under his hat. Cartman made a barfing noise and gained two glares from the young lovers.
"I see the summer hasn't changed you much, fat-hole!" Wendy snarled, looking at him as though he were something gross on the bottom of her snow boot.
"And you're still a good-for-nothing little hippie, but you don't see me parading it around." He retorted shakily, blushing crimson.
"Mmmph mmmh Mehmemh mememmn?" Kenny asked, his voice muffled through his orange parka.
"Dude…the hood?" Stan said, giving his dirt broke friend an annoyed look, his arm still around Wendy. Kenny untied the little knot and pulled down his hood.
"Ugh! I said Why is your face all red Cartman?"
"It's because he's got the hots for Wendy but will never admit it." Kyle laughed.
"Nuh-uh! It's just getting a little warm in here! Besides why would I have any feelings for that little smart-ass ho?!?" he yelled, causing several other freshman to turn around to see what was going on.
"Well it's not like you're Brad Pitt yourself, fatso!" Wendy cried, pulling Stan closer to her, as if to remind Cartman of who she belonged to.
Cartman just flipped her off and turned to look at the stage just as a tall red-haired woman walked on. She smiled and waved Miss America style to the kids and adjust the mic on the podium.
"Good morning, everyone!" She said. The students all groaned in response.
"I am your new principal, Mrs. Joann Thoms, but you may call me Principal Thoms or Principal Jo. I hope to get to know all of your names over the year and that you will all feel comfortable enough to come to me for any problems you may have. I really want to make sure that no one feels left out here at South Park High."
More silence followed.
"Now I don't want to make you all fall asleep and miss your first day of high school, so if you'll all just sit tight for a minute, I'll call our your names alphabetically and give you all your locker numbers, combinations, and homerooms. But before that, a quick announcement. As a few of you girls may know from last year, I am the coach of the cheerleading squad at South Park Middle and High Schools. I hope that many of you girls, and boys too, we're always welcoming, will join the team this year with me and my daughter, cheer captain and freshman, Carly Thoms!"
A girl walked out on stage and stood next to Principal Thoms. She was tall, with a very good looking tan. She had shiny dark brown hair, pulled into a half-ponytail and was wearing a "South Park Cows" cheer t-shirt.
At that moment the boys and Wendy heard a noise that sounded a lot like shallow breathing. They looked over to their left and saw butters. His eyes had grown huge and he was sweating and breathing hard.
"Butters? Butters! What the hell is wrong with you??" Cartman whispered, giving him a little punch in the stomach.
"N-n-n-nothing, Eric. N-nothing at all…" His face was brick red.
They heard Principal Thoms riffling through her papers and turned their attention back to her.
"Okay, err, Abashon, Daniel? You're first. And Abelski, Sarah? You're next!" she beamed as the two students walked up to get their papers. Stan turned to Kyle.
"Maybe this year won't be such a bitch after all." He said. Kyle just shrugged and got up as his name was called.
