Kyle's POV:
I walked into the basement where Stan and Kenny were already waiting, they were glaring at each other from a distance, I let out a sigh, I figured they would have put their differences aside by now.
"Guys, if we're going to work on solving this case together, don't you at least think that we should get along?" I asked.
"I don't need to get along with him to figure out who the trolls are, you said you got something, what is it?" Stan asked, turning his attention to me.
"Well, I traced the IP address of some of the trolls, Turd, Rorke, Guest Two, and Lord Anger, and it turns out, they're all coming from the same computer." I said.
"I also know what you're thinking, Turd sounds like a username Shelley would use right? However, she graduated already, so there's no way it can be her." I added.
"So, this pretty much confirms that the troll is just one person, right?" Stan asked.
"It would seem that way, unless it's more than one person using the same PC, like we do sometimes." I pointed out.
"Well then, I don't really see how this helps." Kenny said in a tone that sounded like some of his anger towards Stan, was being directed towards me as well.
"It helps because if we look at the computer, then we can check other sites, to see if anyone has logged in recently, and then go from there." I said.
"I don't know, everyone at school probably has used that computer, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, we're not any closer than we are before." Stan grumbled.
"I had a plan, tomorrow at school, we can hide in the janitor's closet beside the computer lab, and right after one of us gets a troll message, we bust in there and see who is in there, they can't just vanish can they?" I said.
"What if we don't get a message tomorrow?" Stan asked.
"Then we wait until the next day, we keep trying until we find out who is doing this." I said.
"So, what you're saying is, we skip classes to try to catch the troll in the act? Normally, I would be all for this plan, but I really don't want it to interfere with my school work, and I know you don't either." Stan said.
"Why are you so against this? Unless..." I stopped mid-sentence, Stan couldn't be one of the trolls, could he? He seemed to shaken up about the trolls messages, and there was no way he would send such hurtful things to himself, is there.
"You think I'm the troll?" Stan asked with a scoff,
"I could say the same thing for you, you started getting messages last, and you're always the one to point out new suspects." He continued.
"Stan, get out of my house." I said, not wanting to argue with him anymore.
I guess he didn't want to argue either, because he left without saying another word.
Stan's POV:
I stomped out of Kyle's house with anger bubbling up in my chest, I couldn't believe he had the audacity to accuse me of being the trolls, and then to kick me out of his house like I wasn't his super best friend?
It seemed like when something super serious went down, he always blamed me.
Then again, I also blamed him, maybe we weren't as good of friends as I thought, maybe sometimes, people just drift apart.
I let out a sigh when I heard a ding on my phone, indicating that I had gotten another comment, probably another troll comment, I really didn't need this right now.
When I pictured the troll, I didn't see Kyle, instead I saw that guy who kept killing us while we were playing WOW.
A thought then hit me, what if he was the troll? What if he was still angry that we defeated him? I knew that only teachers and current students of the South Park school system could get on the website, but surely a skilled hacker like himself could get onto the site right?
I pulled out my phone to text Kyle, when I remembered that we were fighting, I would give him a few hours to cool down before I told him about my suspicion.
I almost then texted Kenny, but I decided against it, I still wasn't ready to talk to him.
All of my friends keep telling me that I should give him a break, that it's bros before hos, but I don't really believe in that terminology, I believe to take the side of whoever was there for me, and in this case, it was neither of them, so I am going to continue to ignore both of them, until they show me that they're truly sorry.
I don't think Kenny ever will though, I don't even think he feels remorse for what he did, and he's supposed to be one of my best friends.
When I reached my house, I decided to read the troll comment, I mean, I've already seen a whole lot, what could one more hurt?
However, when I read the comment, I realised that I was wrong, dead wrong, this one would hurt a lot.
I slowly read it over again, to make sure I had gotten it correct,
I know your secret, and unless you want everyone else to find it out, I suggest you stop looking for me.
I swallowed hard and turned my phone off, I didn't want to imagine what anyone, especially Cartman, would do if they found out my secret, I was going to stop trying to figure out the troll's identity, I just hoped that I could convince Kyle and Kenny to do the same.
