When I got home, I was greeted by my parents as soon as I opened the door. They had blank looks on their faces.
"What's going on?" I asked, knowing that they only had those faces when something bad really happened.
"We told you not to hang out with that boy anymore." My mother said. As I walked into my house, I was shocked, and angry to see that my suitcases were already packed.
"Why are my suitcases packed and out here?" I demanded.
"We told you, that if you didn't stop talking to that boy, we would send you to a boarding school." My dad said.
"I haven't talked to Kenny since you told me not to!" I lied.
"Don't lie to us Token, lying will get you nowhere." My mother said.
"I'm not lying." I said through gritted teeth.
"We know you were lying son, we have proof." Dad.
"Proof? What proof?" I asked, I wondered if he had paid one of my friends to be a spy.
"We installed nano cameras in your clothes to spy on you." He said simply.
"WHAT?!" I exploded, feeling my anger raise at an all time high.
"Calm down sweetie, we weren't trying to hurt you, we were just trying to protect you." Mother said gently.
"Protect me? Protect me? You think spying on me like Big Brother is PROTECTING ME?" I demanded as I ripped my clothes off.
"Son, calm down, there is no reason you should be acting this way." My dad said firmly.
"Oh? There isn't? So, forbidding me from talking to my boyfriend, and then spying on me isn't grounds or me to be upset?" I seethed.
"Boyfriend?" My parents said in unison as they exchanged glances.
"That's right, Kenny McCormick, or the white-trash piece of shit, as you both have so affectionately called him is my boyfriend." I snapped before storming out the door, naked as a jay bird. I wasn't going to let them send me to boarding school, I'd run away before that happened. A figurative light bulb then flashed into my head, Kenny and I could run away together! That way, our parents wouldn't be trying to tear us apart at every turn, I wouldn't have to worry about Kevin trying to kill me. It would be just perfect!
However, before I spoke to Kenny, I would have to get some clothes. I decided on going to Kyle's house, since he lives the closest. I was grateful, that he answered the door when I knocked, I didn't want to imagine what his mother would do if she saw a naked boy standing on her door-step.
"Uhh Token?" Kyle said, looking everywhere except up at me.
"Can I come in? It's freezing out here." I said as I bounced from one foot to the other.
"Uh yea." He said, moving aside to let me through.
"Dude, where are your clothes?" Stan piped up from Kyle's bed when we made it upstairs to his room.
"Well, I found out that my parents had installed nano cameras into my clothes, so I ripped them off and ran over here to borrow some." I explained.
"Holy shit dude! That's insane." Stan said with disbelief.
"Yea, even my mother isn't THAT overbearing." Kyle said.
"So, can I borrow some clothes?" I asked, causing both boys to quirk a brow at me.
"You want to borrow some of Kyle's clothes? You do realise that you're going to borrowing clothes from the smallest kid in our year right?" Stan asked with disbelief.
"Shut up Stan! I'm not that little." Kyle snapped.
"I didn't think, I just ran to the closest house where someone I knew lived." I admitted, feeling a bit foolish.
"My parents aren't home, you can feel free to have one of my dad's undershirts, and a pair of his sweats that he rarely wears." Kyle said.
"Thanks." I said with a slight smile.
After I got dressed, I thanked him again before heading towards Stark's Pond, hoping that Kenny would be there, and as luck would have it, he was.
