The bell to class had never been a sweeter sound to Kenny's ears, as everyone left he laid limp on the floor and sobbed silently " someone just stomp on my head and end this." He said, though he figured no one was listening, and he hadn't yet bothered to pull his face away from the cold filthy floor, he knew he still wasn't alone. " please... I beg you."
"Won't you just be back tomorrow anyway?" The familiar voice said, and Kenny felt his heart race, someone hadn't been forgetting.
He slowly lifted up his body, and looked up to see Craig looking back down at him with his arm outstretched to help him up.
Craig, of all the damn people, remembered.
He took his hand and allowed the other to pull him up to his feet, but he instantly fell into him. Craig didn't say a word and let Kenny lean into his arm for support.
"How?, how do you remember?"
Kenny said in a slightly weak tone,
And he was simply answered " cause I'm not a dumb ass like the other people here."
Kenny let it go, and just stayed silent, as Craig helped him to his class. The only thing the raven haired boy said for a while was " that Cartman is sure one fat ass, it's surprising he can even move."
And Kenny simply chuckled, but eventually, the other asked him questions, about this year, and all this chaos. It was so nice to have some one finally hearing his side, so he spilled some of the story.
"A few months ago I slept with Wendy... While she and Stan were still together, I was drunk and stupid, I didn't know any better , i didn't even think it was her but she wanted to be with me, she broke up with Stan before asking me what I thought, and lets just say I don't turn people down gently. She told Bebe I "tricked" her, and now everyone hates me, especially Stan."
Craig nodded in understandment, but eventually said " there's more to this isn't there? Like why your drunk and banging girls?"
Kenny sighed softly and looked down at the floor " depression can make a guy do some stupid things. "
"Depression?"
"Yeah, depression, between eating dinner only a few days a week, dying constantly and loving someone who hates you, yeah, I'm depressed. I want to die... But for good." A slight pain shot through his cheek, and he quickly put his hand against it to apply pressure. Did Craig really just slap him?
"Listen here McCormick, not everyone hates you, you just need to open your damn eyes."
"But there's nothing to see."
"No there is, you're just a dumb ass, like the rest of them so you can't fucking see it."
That was the end of it, Kenny had heard enough, he leaned his head against the other, and stayed silent the rest of the sighed and maintained the silence till the got to his class
"I'm sorry.."
Then, he was gone.
