Marina PoV

Marina woke up with a huge headache. She swung her feet over the side of her bed, rubbing her eyes. She needed pee and then she was going to close her black out blinds. She felt like her brain was really foggy. She briefly remembered Kenny being in her room last night.
She started to step forward and her foot caught on something firm causing her to fall face first into the ground. A manly voice groaned. She pushed herself up and looked over, Kenny was on the floor with a pillow and blanket. "Kenny! Why in the hell are you laying right there?"
"I always lay right here." He moaned.
She crawled into the bathroom, grumbling under her breath. When she came out, she stepped over him carefully and went to close her blinds. The room instantly became dark. She let out a sigh of relief, getting back into bed.
"Marina are you okay?" She heard her mom on the other side of the door, knocking softly.
"Yes mom. I just tripped walking to the bathroom." She told her without getting up to unlock the door.
"Did you get sick last night? There is throw up in the yard and your car."
"Yeah, Kenny drove me home."
"Are you feeling okay now?"
"Yeah, just something I ate didn't sit well." She continued replying as I laid my head back down on the bed.
"Okay sweetie. Tell him I said thank you. And I just wanted to let you know that your dad and I are going to his work party here in about an hour or so."
"What time is it?"
"It's about 4:30."
"Oh my God." She groaned.
"Go back to sleep sweetie. Love you."
"Love you too mom."
Closing her eyes, she went back to sleep.

Marina woke up again to the feeling of the bed moving. She looked over to see that Kenny propped himself up against the headboard and turned her TV on. She sat up slowly next to him. "I drank way too much." She held her head.
"Yeah you did. What is the last thing you remember?"
"I remember pouring a cup of vodka. And chugging it with some girl. And after that, nothing.
How long were we there after that? I remember bits and pieces, but everything is a blur, I can't really make out faces and stuff."
"Well, I don't even know when that happened. All I know is that I found Kyle and he was watching over you because he thought you might have been way too drunk. That was at 12 something. But you managed to get yourself up on top of and dance on a high-top chair by the table where some girls were dancing, while a line of dudes stood around it looking up your dresses or whatever."
"No fuckin' way."
"I walked over and grabbed you off of it. Since your dumb ass wore a thong with a dress. Also, I asked you last night why you did that, because your ass was exposed countless times, and you told me it was because you had a nice ass."
She laughed. "Did I sleep with anyone?"
"Nope."
"Damn. You didn't cock block me did you?"
"Whaat? Mee? Never." He smirked.
"You did!?"
"Marina you were so drunk it would have been considered rape if anyone screwed you. So yes, I was protecting you every time I could."
"True. Well thank you. I didn't plan on getting that drunk. Did I do anything else exciting?"
"I had to keep chasing after you, you slip through people much easier than me. But when I finally got you in the car you fell asleep until we got here and then threw up. So, I helped you inside and helped you get in the shower. Don't worry, I didn't look, I'm not an animal."

Marina felt relieved, she must have dreamed what she had done in the car. She remembered falling into the car and hitting her back. She thought it had sobered her up some. She also didn't know what came over her when she started word vomiting. And definitely didn't know what made her want to reach over and say the things she said to him. She thought she had actually done it, but she felt relieved to know it was just a dream. She knew she was aware of telling him about the guy she danced with, and she was still kicking herself for that.

"Did you see anyone dancing with me last night? I have like this memory of being against some guy and him kissing my neck. And I think I made out with him."
"No I didn't see you dancing."
"I wonder who that was. I wanna call him. I remember thinking he was pretty good." She tried to wrack her brain.
He shrugged.
"Did you and Bebe have fun?"
"No." He sighed.
"You know, her and Clyde were trying to get back together, but the minute she saw you she ditched him."
"Really? That sucks."
"Why didn't you have fun?"
"She just doesn't make me feel a certain way. Like I just don't feel turned on by her anymore."
"Yikes."
"It's whatever."
"Are you hungry?"
"Starving." He nodded.

Monday morning Marina walked into second period where she had a class with Wendy.
When they had their assignment time, Wendy moved her desk next to Marina.
"So were you around me at all on Friday?" She whispered to Wendy.
"A couple times. I saw you again right before Kenny took your keys from me and took you home." Wendy whispered back.
"I got so drunk." Marina whispered lower than before.
"Oh I know." Wendy smiled.
"Did you ever see me dancing with anyone?"
"Why?" She asked slowly.
"I was dancing with some guy but I never actually looked at his face and I just wanted to know who it was."
Wendy shifted in her seat, reading over her paper.
"What?" Marina asked.
"Nothing." She kept her eyes fixated on it.
"You're being weird."
"No I'm not." Her voice went higher.
"Liar. You know who it was. Who was it? Butters? Why are you being weird?"
She shrugged, still refusing to look away from her paper.
"Look at me and tell me that you don't know who it is."
Wendy didn't budge.
"Wendy... tell me who.."
"I don't know if you want to know."
"Believe me. I want to know pretty damn bad. If you don't tell me, I'll just ask around. I know there had to be other people who saw."
"Stan made me promise not to bring it up."
"Oh my God!" Marina gasped, "Is it really embarrassing?"
"I mean." She shrugged, "It depends on how you look at it."
"Please just tell me."
"Promise not to say anything. Stan would be mad at me for telling you. You were obviously very, very drunk. And Kenny was supposed to be your babysitter."
"Tell me!" She snapped in a whisper.
Wendy looked over at her, "It was Kenny."
"Shut up. Seriously, tell me."
"Honey it was Kenny. I saw it with my own eyes. You were initiating everything. Stan and I were watching to make sure Kenny didn't do anything bad. You didn't know he was Kenny at the time though. We heard part of your conversation and heard him turning you down when you kept asking him to take you somewhere. We walked away when we realized he wasn't going to try anything. Stan and I ended up making out upstairs after we took another shot."
Marina put her head in her hands, resting her elbows on the table. "Was Kenny drunk?"
"Uh no. He was sober enough to drive you home not long after."
"Sooo.. He remembers everything?"
"I'm pretty positive he does."
"Wendy! We made out?!"
"Me and you, no. You and Kenny, hell yeah."
"I wasn't actually asking!" Marina groaned in a whisper before silently sobbing. Wendy looked over to see if she had real tears, when she saw Marina was just being dramatic, she laughed lightly down at her paper.
"I remember kissing that guy and then going to the steps. Did we go anywhere?" Marina sighed.
"No, I promise you that you guys wouldn't have had time to do anything sexual before we came up and talked to you while you were upstairs. Stan was actually trying to make sure he was doing his job and not taking advantage of you."
"I had this dream in the car that I was asking him to have sex with me on the way home. And it felt like…. really real. Like I could smell him and taste him, if he was the guy I danced with, and he didn't tell me that, then what if I actually did that in the car? That would be so embarrassing!"
"He has much more willpower than I thought. You were basically as easy as a walking sex doll and all over him and he still managed to tell you no."
"He probably just isn't into me like that."
"Maybe. You have all been best friends for a while, maybe he looks at you like family."
"Right." Marina nodded, feeling her stomach turning upside down.

Marina sat at the table for lunch, she was having a hard time looking at Kenny knowing he didn't tell her about her dancing with him and the heated kissing. But she tried to keep telling herself that maybe he didn't want to embarrass her.
"Still hungover?" Cartman asked as he sat across from her next to Kenny.
"No I think I am good now."
"Hey guys, this is Anna." Kyle sat down next to Marina and Anna sat down with him.
They all said hi to her.
"We were wondering when we were going to get to see her!" Wendy told him and he laughed.
Marina wasn't paying attention to them after that, really lost in her thoughts.
She felt so confused about Kenny not telling her all of the truth.
She couldn't stop wondering if he was embarrassed of if he didn't want to embarrass her. They had always been completely honest and up front with each other. She would have easily told him if it were the other way around.
She was quiet the rest of lunch, minding her business, going in and out of listening to everyone talk. Marina felt like the bell was taking forever to ring.

At study hall, Marina dropped her books next to Kyle.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Just dealing with some stupid stuff." She sighed.
"Sooo, are we going to talk about what beans you spilled at the party?"
"Beans?"
"Yeah, the news that you and Kenny took each other's virginity. How did that happen?"
"Oh that!" She spoke quickly to try and get that conversation over with, that was the very last thing she wanted to think about on top of feeling completely embarrassed about the party. "It was the summer after Freshman year and we both had a beer or so and I mean obviously our hormones were out of wack. We were talking about being scared to embarrass ourselves on our first time so we mutually agreed that we would do it and not talk about it again after and not judge at all. We also agreed to keep our clothes on as best as we could. That's all there is to it." She shrugged.
"That's actually pretty cool of you guys. It wasn't awkward at all after?"
"At first, but we kept trying to forget about it so that it wouldn't be."
"That makes sense."
"So Anna?" Marina quickly changed the subject, silently hoping that Kyle hadn't caught how fast she was talking.
"Yeah, she's pretty cool. I like her a lot."
"How did you meet?"
"We met before school, she was at the library when I was, and we just bonded over our love for reading good books."
"That is so awesome Kyle!"

Kenny PoV

Kenny was in his final class for the day. Stan sat down at the desk next to him.
"So I guess you got Marina home safely?" He asked Kenny.
"Yeah. She was a mess."
Stan cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "You know Wendy and I saw you guys dancing?"
Kenny sat up straight in his chair, "Dude I'm telling you honestly, she started that. I was just dancing with her so nobody else did. I didn't expect the rest. I was trying so hard to stop her, but she was so insistent."
"I'm not even mad dude. I just wanted to tell you we saw. I made Wendy promise not to tell her."
"She thinks it was some random guy. She barely remembers it." Kenny felt his cheeks heat up and he quickly calmed himself down.
"Good... You know Cartman and Heidi slept together last night, right?" Stan asked.
"Yeah he was bragging all about it."
"True. Oh and I snagged some green for you."
"Yes dude! Thanks!"
"It is under my seat in the back so just make sure you sit behind me on the way home."
"Okay dude!"

Kenny slid into the car, he typically sat behind the drivers side of the car since it was the side they entered the car in the morning.
He put his backpack on the ground and discreetly put the weed in a pocket.
When he sat back he realized Marina was sitting much more up tight than usual. Her knees were clenched together and she had her hands pressed together resting on her legs.
"You okay?" He asked.
She nodded, "Mhm."
The rest of the drive was Cartman running on and on about some nonsense. All Kenny could focus on was how weird Marina was acting. Did she suddenly remember everything?

Stan dropped them off and she quickly went inside, not inviting him today. Which was definitely strange. Kenny walked home, feeling a little sick to his stomach. He should have tried harder to make her stop at the party.
"KENNY!" His mom yelled from the kitchen.
He walked in and looked at her, choosing not to say words in return. He figured his presence would speak for him.
"We need groceries!"
"I know mom." He nodded.
"I can't send your damn father because he will just buy alcohol."
"I'll go get some then." She handed him a 10 dollar bill.

Kenny lit up a cigarette as soon as he reached outside, he got into his moms car and started it up. The car roared to life and he backed out of the driveway, heading to the town supermarket. He knew what to get, the usual, bread, peanut butter, milk and any other food that could feed the family with what was left. He also grabbed Karen's favorite candy bar in the check out line, using his own money to get it.
"Hi Kenny." The cashier greeted him, smacking on her gum with a grin.
Kenny smiled at her, "How are you Theresa? I didn't realize you were still working here."
"I'm good, just trying to work and go to college. How's high school?"
"The usual."
"12 dollars even."
He handed her the money, she blew a bubble and handed him the bag and receipt.
"Just so you know. If you're ever bored, I'm still around here. So just hit me up." She smiled.
Kenny winked at her before leaving.
He tried not to look at Marina's house as he turned onto his street. He was contemplating telling her what she actually did that night. A part of him felt like she knew, and that's why she was being weird. He numbly turned the car off and walked into the house. Putting the food away except for the candy bar.

He knocked on Karen's door, "Come in!" She called from the other side.
He opened the door just enough for him to toss the candy onto the bed.
"Love you!" She sang.
"Love you too Kare." He shut the door.
As soon as he was in his room he scrolled through his contacts, looking for a girl he knew would be down right now. He finally found a girl he knew was almost always ready, he pulled up Paige's name and started a text:

Me

Busy?

Paige

No. Am I ever? Come over in 30?

Me

Ok

Kenny changed his clothes and made himself smell good before heading out again. Paige only lived about 10 minutes away. Luckily, because he almost talked himself out of it multiple times.
He knocked on her front door. Paige opened the door and Kenny shut it behind him. Paige gave him no time before grabbing his face and kissing him.
She pulled away and grabbed his hand, pulling him up to her bedroom. He shut her door as she kissed him again, he walked her backward to the bed. Her legs hit the edge causing her to sit down. She pulled his shirt off as he did the same. Her hands running down his chest before unbuckling his jeans. As soon as they were naked he flipped her to her hands and knees, not wanting to see her face. He needed to pretend she was Marina to get that tension out of his head. It was making him crazy. He closed his eyes and sunk into Paige.
