Um, so. I'm considering including excerpts from Bebe's blog, or Butters' blog. Maybe in the next chapter. What do you think?
Kyle's too nice. Really, he is. It's like some sort of mental disorder, I swear.
He's been talking to Butters constantly. Listening to his problems and giving him advice, because he claims that's what friends do. But I'm pretty sure it's just because Kyle feels bad for Butters. Because he's so… you know, Butters. And after hearing from Kyle about Butters' situation, I can't help but feel a little sympathy too.
Well, okay. So Butters likes Kenny.
And Butters and Kenny are pretty close, too, I guess. Probably not like, me-and-Kyle close, but still. Like, Kenny's always protecting Butters and defending him; it's sweet. Because Butters returns the favor, by letting Kenny stay at his house when his parents fight, and listening to Kenny when he's having problems with Bebe.
No, they aren't dating. But they still fight a lot. It's almost like an on and off relationship. And even when it's off, it's still on, because everyone knows it won't be off for more than a few days. As cool as Bebe might be, she seems pretty high maintenance. And if I didn't know any better, I might think that Kenny actually liked her.
Because he deals with so much of her shit, but keeps taking her back. Even though they aren't, like, officially a couple.
Do you know who else deals with all of her shit? Butters does. Whenever he's having an issue with Bebe, Kenny saunters in to Butters' room all pissed and rants about his feelings and problems. And Butters gives him really, really good advice, and Kenny knows he's right. But he never takes Butters' advice. Because Kenny is very much a dude, and dudes think with their dicks.
It's a fact.
And it totally isn't fair to Butters, because more than anything he's just sad to see Kenny so unhappy. And Bebe is consistently making him unhappy, and Butters can't do shit about it. And that must be really frustrating.
Butters is always there for Kenny, and I'm sure Kenny appreciates it because he does what he can for Butters. And if he knew how much theoretical weight he was putting on Butters' shoulders, I'm sure he'd find someone else to spill to (probably Kyle). But Butters will never tell him that it bothers him, because he's too nice. Butters is too nice and only wants Kenny to be happy.
And it sucks.
But whatever, Butters' problems aren't my problems right now.
You know my sister Shelley, right? Yeah, of course you do. The last time you heard of her was probably more than five years ago, when she still had braces – which made her ugly – which made her angry – which made her hit me. A lot. All the time.
She got them taken off during her senior year in high school, and her appearance improved significantly. People were actually nice to her, and in turn she was sort of nice to me. Then she went to college in Denver and we only saw her every few months. I was fine with that. And when she did come home, she wouldn't beat on me.
And that peace was nice for a year or two; until she came home last week and found out I was gay. Shelley was raised in a small, conservative hick town. Of course she's going to be a homophobe.
Luckily, she can't injure me too badly anymore. Since I'm bigger than her, and I have muscle. Because, you know, I play sports.
But I don't like how she calls me a faggot all the time. Especially in public.
It's starting to get to me.
Alright. I really, really have to know if I should do a blog post from Butters' or Bebe's perspective. I've been playing with the idea for a while but I don't know if you guys would like it… what do you think?
Was the chapter/set up okay?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT. I'LL ADD MORE OF WHAT YOU LIKED AND LESS OF WHAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE.
