I walked back to school looking at everyone kissing & holding hands. It really wasn't the best time I've ever had. Considering the fact tha5t I had just past Stan & his girlfriend. I was tempted to go home. I didn't want Cartman to come out of the back of a building & start laughing at me.
But I didn't want my mom yelling at me until 1 in the morning either. So, because I was in a really weird mood, just like every other February, I somehow took control & told myself that I was going to Starks pond & ignore my moms orders. I have no idea what I was thinking! Its not that my mom would hit me, though my dad might, but I just didn't want to have to deal with the consequences that I would have to face with this choice. Like my mom lecturing me about responsibility & how I'm suppose to take care of my little brother but do the complete opposite. I just wanted to forget everyone. This whole stupid holiday!
Before I could rethink my decision, I was already at Starks pond. I was surprised that no one was there. Its South Parks most beautiful place. Well, I guess I wanted to be alone anyways. I layed back, dream of a place I thought could be worry free. Actually, it was worry free. No one around to ruin it! Not even-!
"Kyle?"
Spoke to soon..
"What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing,"
"I always come here on Valentines day. And I haven't seen you around here before, so don't say you always come here too."
I haven't been here on Valentines or the rest of February for tat matter. But I chose to this day. I'm still not sure why tough. What was I going to tell him? 'Oh, hey Cartman! I'm sitting here alone because I don't want to go home where my mom is waiting to nag me, & my dad is just waiting to hit me! And no I don't have anywhere else to go! Everyone's busy including my best friend! And like you said, I cant get a girlfriend!'
"I just wanted to get away from everyone for a while."
"And for a while you mean until 6:30?"
"What time did you say it was?"
"6:30. I haven't seen you out this late since we were 9. Oh, & your parents are going cyco looking for you."
I knew he wasn't lying about my parents. If he said my parents had sent out the police or swat team after me, I still would've believed him!
"I gotta go!"
"Kyle! Before you go,"
"What?"
"How come you're all alone tonight?"
He burst out laughing knowing the obvious answer. I only wish I had more time to deal with him.
