We're walking to Cartman's house from school. And for once in a long time, Kyle is with us.

"Why aren't you with Red?" Kenny asks him.

Kyle shrugs. "I wanted some time off. You know, to breathe."

Kenny and I snicker. "You know Jew," Cartman says, "Some people might think it's totally nasty that you're making out like that all the time."

"Really? I don't," Kenny says grinning. "And anyway, this is Kyle's first girlfriend in a loooong time." He blinks away fake tears. "Our little Ky Ky is growing up!"

"Hey, Stan," Kyle says, "Isn't that Wendy?" He's pointing over down the street. Sure enough, Wendy's standing over there, talking to someone on the phone. She looks pissed off about something.

"Guess the rainbows got her," Cartman says, noticing Wendy's mood too.

"Cartman, for the last time," Kyle says, rolling his eyes. "Rainbows do not crawl up your leg and bite the inside of your ass. I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but it's not frickin rainbows!" I ignore their bickering and begin to walk faster toward Wendy. I hear Kenny follow. Before Wendy notices us, we catch a few of her words.

"Well then, where the hell are you?" she's asking angrily. We can barely hear the voice from her cell. "Why did you do that when I told you to- don't give me that tone!" We can hear the voice on the other line, and she opens her mouth a few times, as if to say something, but she swallows her words. "I'm sorry too. See you later." She hangs up.

"Erm… hey Wendy," I say, approaching her. Wendy drops the phone in surprise.

"Stan! I didn't- I had no idea- Umm… hi!" she sputters.

"Who was on the phone? You sounded pretty pissed," I ask, hoping I'm not too nosy.

"Oh that? That was- that was my dad," she explains.

"Dude, you talk to your dad that way?" Kenny asks.

Wendy's eyes narrow. "What way?" she asks coldly.

Kenny rolls his eyes. "You know," he puts on a high shrilly voice, an attempt at imitating Wendy "Where the hell are you? Don't give me that tone!"

"I'm just really pissed he didn't pick me up, that's all," Wendy says defensively.

"Okay, just ignore Kenny. We gotta go," I say, quickly grabbing his arm. Wendy mutters a quiet goodbye and kisses my cheek. Kenny and me walk back to where Kyle and Cartman are still arguing. As we walk, Kenny says:

"Dude, I'd watch out if I were you," he warns.

"Why?" I ask. I already know the answer that's coming. I know that he knows damn well that the person on the phone wasn't Wendy's dad. That's obvious. Kenny's gonna tell me she's hiding something from me.

"I think- I think she's- cheating… on you," He says, looking at me in the corner of his eyes. I have no idea why, but I suddenly get very angry.

"What?" I say coldly. Kenny looks surprised by the tone, so he quickly adds to his theory.

"Dude, I'm only telling you because I care about you," he begins, "But I have the feeling Wendy's been ignoring you lately. I mean, there's gotta be another guy in her life. Who else could she have been talking to?"

"Her father!" I say. Wendy's not a liar. She can be a bitch, but she'd never lie to me. She loves me! Right?

"Stan, all I'm saying is-"

"I know what you're saying Kenny, it's not true, she wouldn't do that to me!" I protest angrily.

"Yeah, but she can be kind of… you know-"

I knew what he was going to say. "Don't call Wendy a bitch! I swear to God Kenny, if you call her that-"

"I wasn't going to!" he says exasperatedly. "Please Stan, just listen."

"No dude, why should I believe you when you won't even believe my own girlfriend? I can't believe you're accusing her of- of… doing that! She loves me! I know she does. I love her more than any girl I've ever met! You're supposed to be my friend, why the hell would you say something like that?"

"Hey, what's going on?" Kyle asks. We'd finally approached him but I don't care.

"You know what? Screw Call of Duty. Screw hanging out with someone who accused my girlfriend of lying. Screw you, Kenny!" I quickly storm away, leaving one of my best friends hurt and confused.

Up in my room, I have no idea what's going on in my brain. I love Wendy. I can't believe Kenny would even say something like that. But he is right, she obviously wasn't talking to her dad. Who was she talking to? Is Kenny right about Wendy- no she wouldn't do that. There are tons of possibilities of who she could have been talking to.

'Name one,' my mind says to me. There's the problem: I can't! Do I want Wendy to be cheating on me? Hell no! I know that's not true, I just want an explanation. Kenny was also right about Wendy kind of ignoring me. We had jokingly guessed she was on her period, but it's been way over a week now. Why would she ignore me? Was her mind on something else?

'Yeah, her new boyfriend,' my mind says. No! She's just thinking about… school or something. I'll ask her tomorrow if she wants to talk about anything. She's not cheating on me. I would know if she was lying.

'She was acting all nervous,' No! She wasn't! She just didn't expect me to come up behind her like that. One thing is for sure. I need to talk to her. Right now. I dial the numbers on the phone.

"Hello?" says the voice on the line.

"Hey, Wendy, it's Stan," I say. I'm an idiot. Of course she knows it's me.

"Stanny! Hi! What's up?" She sounds much less nervous now than she did earlier. I was right; I just startled her. But I need to know for sure.

"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you were okay," Good one Stan. A nice easy way to glide into the conversation.

"Yeah, of course! I'm fine! Why, is something wrong?" Oooh, maybe not. She picked something up.

"Oh! Um… no, of course not!" I say nervously. Stop beating around the bush! "You just sounded kind of upset on the phone earlier."

Wendy's voice gets quieter. "Oh, that? No, no, it's fine." She laughs the same small laugh she'd done today at lunch.

"Oh that's good. What the hell were you so pissed about?" I say, laughing a little.

"Oh, um..." Wendy pauses. "Bebe was being stupid. She was supposed to drive me to the mall, but she never showed up." My heart sinks.

"I thought it was your father," I say, trying to keep my tone light. I hear her gasp on the other line.

"Oh… did I say that?" she's rambling. "I mean, it was. I was telling him to come and uh… pick me up. I didn't want to walk all the way home. You know, I was wearing heels and stuff."

"Oh. Okay," I say, trying to hide the disappointment in my voice. "Wendy, I gotta go."

"Oh, you sure? Um… okay. Bye Stan!" she says, trying to regain her happy voice.

"Bye," I say. But we both stay on the line. After what seems like hours, I hear Wendy.

"Stan?"

"Yeah?"

"Why haven't you hung up yet?"

"Oh. I don't know. Bye Wendy," I say.

"Bye Stan," I hear.

"Wendy?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"Me too." And she hangs up. Me too? What does that mean?
