Comprehension

/Noun/ The action or capability of understanding something.

Kyle stared intently at the piece of paper filled with math questions in front of him as though the longer he stared, the easier the questions would become.

So far this tactic hadn't worked.

Sighing and running a hand through the ginger curls under his hat, Kyle slumped in his chair, banging his head against the table, eyes squeezed shut.

He didn't understand why this was so difficult for him. He was pretty smart; one of the smartest kids in his class next to Wendy. Yet he couldn't understand a simple math question? It frustrated him.

"Eighteen."

Kyle froze. In his concentration he had completely forgotten he had company. Unwanted company.

Lifting his head and turning around in his swivel chair, Kyle narrowed his eyes at the larger boy sat against his headboard, eating noisily on (of all things) a red apple. Cartman glanced uncaring at Kyle, taking another bite of his apple.

He nodded at the paper, which he could see from where he sat, relaxing.

"The answers eighteen." He said, nonchalantly.

Kyle scoffed.

"I really doubt you know the answer, fatass."

Cartman raised an eyebrow at that, smirking.

"Well, Kahl, if you carry the one over, I'll say I'm right." When Kyle still didn't look convinced, he cooed, "Go ahead! You'll be surprised." He then glanced away, finishing off his apple.

Kyle sighed, but considering he had nothing to lose, he turned back to the questions and did what Cartman said.

After a few minutes, Kyle dropped his pencil on his desk and blinked.

Cartman was right.

He glanced sharply at Cartman only to meet Cartman's superior look.

"Told you." He crowed playfully, throwing his apple into the small garbage can on the other side of Kyle's room.

Kyle just frowned.

How the hell had Cartman figured that out when Kyle had no clue? From all the way over there?!

"The next ones ten."

Kyle hit his head against the desk in mortification while Cartman snickered.

As always, tell me what you think. It's always appreciated!
