Kenny PoV
He ran late that morning as well, getting there right after Marina and Cartman had gotten into the car.
After a couple minutes of silence Kenny looked around, sighing, "I need a fake ID."
"I just talked to Theresa over at my dad's store for one. She knows someone who does them. She said that he does a pretty good job." Marina told him.
"I'll have to talk to her later then." He nodded.
Kenny made sure to walk into class right on time, that way he wouldn't have to sit and have a long conversation with Marina.
She was already in her seat talking to Butters.
"Well I think you guys are so cute together." Marina smiled at him.
"Thank you. I am really happy."
"You seem to be!"
"What are we talking about?" Kenny asked as he sat down.
"Lisa and I." Butters told him.
"Oh, are you guys official now?"
"Yea. We made it official on Monday."
Kenny smiled as best as he could, remembering how his Monday had gone.
"That's great Butters. I'm proud of you guys. Glad you took that leap."
"Thanks Kenny." Butters smiled a big smile.
"Good morning everyone!" The teacher greeted and Butters turned around.
"Did you read last night?" Marina asked him, the smell of her gum mixed with her perfume wafting in his direction, goosebumps covering his skin instantly. He crossed his arms in front of him to try to warm himself.
"I read the chapters yesterday, yes."
She started discussing what to write in their essay and once they finished with it, he pulled his book out and started reading.
He was trying his hardest not to look at her for too long.
He did this the entire rest of the day too. At lunch he looked at his food or at any of their friends around them, but he did his best not to look at her.
They piled into Stan's car after their practices. "You guys always smell like a locker room when you don't shower after practice." Marina reached over Kyle and Kenny, rolling the windows down.
"You probably don't smell much better when you are sweating." Stan laughed.
"Kenny would know." Cartman added.
"Eric." Kenny sighed.
"Just sayin', don't think I forgot about when your nose was all up in her vag, you would be the first one to know what her sweat smells like."
For some reason, this struck a nerve and Kenny instantly felt rage, snapping at Cartman in an angry voice. "Yah Cartman, you're right. I know what she smells and tastes like. I don't know why you feel the need to randomly bring this up or bring up our sex life at random times. Why does it even matter to you dude? Oh wait, never mind, I know. You are jealous that it wasn't you and that it wasn't your name she was moaning. Don't think that I forgot either, about you telling me you were going to go home and jack off thinking about her on the first week of school, after you were making a ton of 'jokes' about how hot she was. You're just mad that you have to pretend and imagine what you think she feels, smells, and looks like. And I'm sure you're more mad that you are basically siblings now, so all your chances are out of the window. But I get to know. And it bothers you enough that you can't just let it go and shut the hell up about it. I'm really over fucking hearing how we need to just have sex from you so here you go Cartman, I've fucked the shit out of Marina. Multiple times. Not too long ago I was banging her for 4 hours. I don't know if you have seen her back right now, but apparently I did it again after Homecoming. And-"
"-Kenny stop." Marina cut in before he could continue.
"No, apparently our sex lives are Cartman's business to know about. So I'm going to just tell him all about it. 'Kenny would know'." He mocked Cartman's voice. "I do fucking know. I know every inch of her. I also know that you hit on her all the time, Cartman, and I know the step-sister porn jokes you made and keep making. Stop digging into our business because you are jealous it's me and not you. You can't stand that I have something you can't. Money doesn't buy you everything Cartman!" Kenny huffed.
"I am not jealous." Cartman snapped back.
"Then tell me why you stood there and watched one of your best friends have an orgasm, and then repeated later that it was awesome? Why do you keep bringing it back up? Why do you constantly tell us we need to just have sex with each other?"
"Psh. You would have done the same."
"No actually. I would not. And if I had seen it, even for a second, I still wouldn't go and tell everyone about it. Especially after I was asked not to!" Kenny raised his voice, half yelling at Cartman.
Cartman crossed his arms in front of his chest, "Fuck you Kenny."
"Fuck you too Cartman."
Everyone else in the car was sitting wide eyed, he wasn't surprised. It wasn't often that Kenny was angry like that.
"I don't really think that was necessary." Marina spoke softly, "I'm pretty sure he was joking."
"It's always jokes." Kenny rolled his eyes.
"Why did you just get so mad about that dude?" Stan asked.
"I don't know. I'm just not in a good mood right now. And I'm so over hearing Cartman digging into Marina and I's personal business like it is his to know." Kenny started realizing he overreacted and in his rant he said way too much. He knew he was taking out his frustration with Marina and himself on Cartman.
"I mean..Cartman does need to stop getting into everyone else's business so much." Kyle shrugged.
"Shut the fuck up Kyle, nobody asked you right now." Cartman snapped.
"Just like nobody asks you ever." Kyle retorted.
"Right. Yet he constantly feels the need to voice what he thinks." Kenny agreed.
"I'm about to kick both of your asses."
"Why? Because we are right?" Kyle asked.
"Stan! Stop the car right now! I'm walking home!" Cartman yelled.
Stan kept driving.
"Stan!" Cartman yelled again, "Stop! Now!"
"No dude. You need to learn that you can't always get your way." Stan shook his head.
"Why is everyone being an asshole to me today?"
"You are an asshole to us almost daily Cartman." Kenny told him.
"Cartman, don't walk home, we are almost there already." Marina sighed.
"Don't fucking pick me up tomorrow." Cartman snapped as he looked out of the window beside him.
"Then don't get in the car when Kenny and Marina do." Stan shrugged.
As soon as Stan pulled up to the house, Cartman got out and slammed the door.
"I fucking hate him." Kenny shook his head before getting out, he instantly started heading home. Marina followed quickly behind.
"Kenny, wait." She called out.
He turned around, slowly backing toward the direction of his house.
"What the hell was that about?" She asked.
"I don't know. Really. I just got really angry all of a sudden, and I just can't deal with hearing his shit anymore. Anyway, I need to head home. I have to go to work tonight." He turned around and continued home, refusing to let himself turn around to see her.
When Kenny got into his house, his phone started ringing. He sighed before pulling it out of his pocket. He looked at it before answering, "Hey Kyle."
"Hey man, you okay? You don't usually go off like that. I actually don't think I've ever seen you that angry before, and Cartman was just being how he usually is.."
"I'm sorry.. I'm just dealing with a lot mentally right now."
"Do you need someone to talk to about it? You know I won't say anything."
"I just..hold on" Kenny looked around his house before going outside, propping the phone up with his shoulder as he quickly lit a cigarette. He inhaled deeply before breathing it out.
"Is it Marina?" Kyle finally asked.
"Fuck⦠Yes." Kenny sighed, "Is it that obvious?"
"Not really, but I accidentally saw the bottom half of those photo booth pictures when they first came out and I saw that kissing one. Also, really seemed like you guys were getting much closer than usual."
"Nice."
"Do you like her?"
"It doesn't matter how I feel, she doesn't want a relationship."
"Soo.. you asked her out?"
"I mean.. in the literal worst way possible and at the worst time ever. I have no idea what the hell came over me. So stupid. This is why I don't date girls. This is why I never sleep with a girl multiple times in a row."
"So you admit that you like her then?"
Kenny sighed.
"Dude, I know what it is like to have feelings for someone and keep them bottled up. You're running from admitting it to anyone, and probably even admitting them to yourself. You need to talk to someone about it or it is going to make you crazy. And you will end up having more outbursts like you did today. Do I think Cartman has been jealous of you and Marina? I do think he has had his moments. But I don't think you needed to rub it in his face like you just did."
Kenny sighed again as he exhaled his smoke, "Yeah that was pretty shitty of me. And I guess I do like her.. More than I have liked any of the girls I've ever been with. I seriously had no desire to be with anyone else. I still really don't. She made me feel things I have never felt before, things that actually scared me, and still do. I have never wanted to just be with one person, even when I had girlfriends before. I still would check out other girls and imagine being with them. I didn't act on it, but my mind was definitely wandering. I honestly, have randomly imagined being with her since the very first time we ever had sex. Now.. I think I just fucked up any chance I ever had with her and I fucking hate myself right now Kyle." Kenny took a long drag of his cigarette from his shaky hand.
"Did she say she didn't want a relationship with you or just in general?"
"In general. She said that she has been in relationships for too long and she wants to have a hoe phase or whatever."
"Well she doesn't seem to be doing too well at that if she is hanging all over you at parties."
"Apparently we were just friends who were fucking around."
"Did it feel like you were just fucking around?"
Kenny thought back to all of the times. "Sometimes, but not always... I think."
"You think?"
"I don't really know. Sometimes I was too caught up in the moment to pay attention to if it felt like just fucking around or not. This is new to me. These types of feelings. I don't really know how to address them or like process them or whatever. This isn't anything I've done or felt before. It has me all fucked up. Just the thought of someone else touching her makes my stomach hurt. And I normally could care less!"
"Wow.."
"Yep. But it is fine. I'm just going to go back to being me. Running from all of my problems as always. I'm going to be okay, just not used to getting hurt like that. I'll get over it." Kenny dropped the last of his cigarette on the ground and put it out with his foot.
"I'm really sorry man."
"It's alright. Anyway, I'm gonna get off here and go eat something."
"Okay dude. I'll see you tomorrow."
Kenny hung up and headed into his house, hating himself even more.
The next day was quiet, Cartman still got into the car but he didn't talk the entire way to school. None of them did. Kenny was worried they might all be on the edge of a falling out like they had done a couple times when they were younger. He hoped not. They annoyed him but at this point they were family to him.
In class, Marina and Kenny did their essay, and like yesterday he didn't discuss anything else with her. It was a normal day other than them not really talking.
After work that night, Kenny waited in line at the register. Theresa's face lit up when she saw him. "Well, hey stranger!" She smiled as she started scanning his stuff.
"Hi sweetie! How are you?" He grinned.
"I'm doing very good. Wishing I could see that cute face of yours more often though."
"I think I could work you into my schedule."
"I'd love that." She winked at him before looking at her screen, "10.75."
Kenny pulled his money out, leaning forward as he handed it to her. He lowered his voice, "Do you know where I could get a fake ID?"
"I have a guy." She nodded, "Did mine. Looks more real than some of the real ID's I get handed here."
"So, you think you could hook me up?"
"Depends." She smacked her gum and looked him up and down.
"On what?" He flashed her a smile, assuming already what she was going to ask.
"You think we could hook up again?" She winked again.
"I was hoping you'd ask that." He winked in return, "Just shoot me a text on when and where and I'll be there."
"Okay, I'll text my dude on my break and text you later."
"Okay, thanks! See ya Theresa."
"Bye Kenny." She sang behind him.
Kenny drove to the address that Theresa texted him after she got off work. She seemed to have just pulled up at the same time as him. "You brought money right?" She asked as they got out of their cars.
"Of course." He laughed.
"Okay, let's go." Theresa led him into an old apartment building. The halls were loud as they echoed all of the noises coming out of the apartments.
"The walls are paper thin here." She giggled, "I actually live in this one." She pointed to a door as she passed it, "My guy is my neighbor." She knocked on the next door in a rhythm.
"Just a minute!" He yelled from somewhere deep inside his apartment.
The door swung open and a very overweight guy stood in front of them. Kenny didn't usually judge people by weight, sometimes it really wasn't their fault, but the sea of fast food boxes piled everywhere from the kitchen to dining room seemed to be at the most fault. He also looked sweaty, and his hair was a huge mess, and he was definitely out of breath as he turned around to let them inside. Kenny and Theresa followed, she shut the door behind her and locked it.
"It will be 500 dollars, cash. Must be in my hand before I give you the ID."
"What the hell? Theresa said it was $150." Kenny retorted.
"It is $150 when I get something in return."
"What does that mean?"
"Jordon." Theresa sighed.
"I'll tell you what, I'll make you a good deal. I have an online girlfriend that lives overseas, who has not seen what I looked like yet. I have recently seen what she looks like, and she is very, very attractive. I am worried that she might not continue to talk to me if she sees what I look like. She has been bothering me about sending her pictures."
"So you want to catfish her by using my pictures?"
"Yes."
"How much is the deal? That's easy, I can send you some out of my phone and I can take some right now, even a video saying her name if you want." Kenny smiled, more than willing.
"Thanks Jordon, has it printed yet?" An all too familiar voice spoke from across the room, Kenny turned his head in the direction of the voice to find Marina throwing her hair into a messy bun.
"No fucking way." He said under his breath.
"Yes beautiful." Jordan walked across the room.
She looked over at Kenny and Theresa.
"Hey Theresa, thank you for letting me know about Jordon."
"Anytime sweetheart."
Her eyes fell on Kenny and she blushed instantly.
"Here is your new ID, you will now be Marnie."
"Thank you." She took it from him.
"No, thank you darling. I hope one day I'll get to see you again."
"Marina." Kenny nodded once at her as she passed.
"Kenny." She greeted quickly before running out of the door.
His eyes fell back toward Jordon, who was staring at her until the door was shut.
"I'll lock it." Theresa announced.
"She just paid me with the hottest sex I've ever had in my life. Rode me like a pro."
Kenny's jaw clenched, he wanted to cross the distance and punch him.
He calmed himself, before making a smart ass remark, "Yeah, she's blown my mind too."
"No shit? That tight piece of ass slept with you for free and you let her go?"
"She's one of my best friends."
"Kenny likes to sleep around." Theresa told Jordon, "And a lot of times it is the girls asking for him to bang them."
Kenny felt that familiar sinking feeling in his stomach, he didn't want to sleep around anymore.
"You sleep with him?" Jordon asked her.
"Couple times back when I was in high school." She smiled.
"Hmm. He got a decent sized shlong?"
"Oh for sure."
"I'm right here." Kenny sighed.
"I, unfortunately, was not blessed to be big, it's average. But with the weight I have gained, it looks much smaller. I'll give the ID to you for free if you do a couple things. Let me use your face and body for my catfishing. Send me pictures when I need them. And if you take about 10 naked pictures at different angles, pictures you would send to a girl you're sexting."
"Fine. Give me your phone."
Kenny shut the door to the bathroom and pulled his clothes off, cursing Jordon in his head. The thought of that guy with his greasy fingers on Marina's body made him want to throw up.
"That tight piece of ass slept with you for free and you let her go?" Kenny mocked Jordon under his breath as she shoved his feet out of his boxers, "I didn't want to let her go but she didn't want meee. No. She wanted to fuck around and now she's having sex to get free shit. Fucking great! Just fucking great!" Kenny continued whispering under his breath. "Now I'm giving someone free fucking porn pictures of myself. None of which would be happening if Marina wasn't being like this."
"How is it going in there?" Theresa asked through the door.
"I'm about to take some."
"Do you need any help getting hard?"
"Actually.. Yes." He reached over and opened the door, letting her in.
Marina PoV
"FUCK!" She screamed in the car, grabbing and shaking the steering wheel before hitting it.
"Why the HELL was he there!?" She screamed again. "One of the lowest points in my entire life and of course Kenny shows up!"
Her phone started ringing, she reached across and hit the answer button on the car radio, "What?!" She snapped.
"Marina? You okay?" Her mom's voice was calm throughout her car speakers.
"Oh, Hi mom. Sorry about that? How are you?" She asked softly as she started driving home.
Friday Marina drove to school before Kenny could show up at her house. She did end up taking Cartman. She wanted to avoid going to first period all together but she knew Kenny wouldn't do their essay justice if he did it by himself. He walked in right before the bell and sat down beside her. He had a stupid smile on his face. "Stop." She sighed, pulling a piece of paper out.
He chuckled, "Just so you know, I am not laughing because you slept with a big guy. I have slept with plenty big girls. I am laughing because you had sex with a guy who has an online girlfriend that doesn't even know what he looks like, so that you could get fake ID for free." He whispered.
"He wanted 500 bucks." She whispered back.
"He played us." Kenny told her.
"Wait. What did he have you do?"
"I am the face and body of Jordon to his online girlfriend."
"Face and body?"
"Yes. I had to send him a bunch of pictures of myself. And I had to take 10 naked pictures. So my naked body, with my face included in the pictures, may start surfacing on the internet. Who knows."
"You're kidding right?"
"At least I didn't fuck him for a free ID."
"You're aiding him in catfishing some poor girl."
"Please. I think she's catfishing him. That girl was way too pretty to be having an overseas boyfriend who doesn't even facetime. Anyway, he offered to also give me free weed if I send him pictures when his girlfriend needs them."
"Wow, what a deal." She laughed.
"It definitely was. Much better deal than you got."
Marina rolled her eyes, "Kenny." She sighed.
"Did you have fun?"
"Do you think I had fun? I was having sex for a reward. It was like I was doing a job, I felt like a sex worker."
"Oh? I thought that was something you'd be okay with." He smirked.
"I'm done with this conversation." She focused on the paper.
After the game, Marina went over to her coworker Gina's apartment, there were already a couple of the older girls from work there. They were pre-gaming as they got ready to go out. She got changed out of her uniform and put on some darker make up. They planned to go into the nearest city and bar hop. Marina was excited to finally be able to get into the bar's.
"Just make sure you are watching your drink at all times." Andrea told her.
Marina nodded, "Trust me. I had a scare before. I definitely don't let it out of my sight or hand."
The bouncer looked at her ID and then to her, he did this about 3 times before he nodded and handed it back to her. She walked into the dimly lit bar, it was packed and the music was pounding through the speakers. Gina grabbed onto her arm, "You know the drill." She yelled over the music.
Marina laughed, following her to the bar. "Hey can you keep my ID in your purse by chance? I didn't bring my wallet in and I don't want to lose it."
"I got you!" Gina stuffed it into her purse.
"Hi beautiful, what are you drinking?" Marina whipped her head to the side at the sound of Kenny's voice.
He was on the other side of Gina, "Oh my God. Hi." Gina flushed, "I'm drinking a cranberry vodka." She giggled.
Marina sarcastically smirked at Kenny.
He moved his eyes from Gina over to Marina, he returned the same sarcastic smile before looking back to Gina and giving her his pretty boy smile.
"I um.." Gina giggled again, "My friend over here is drinking too." She gestured toward Marina.
"I only want to buy you a drink." He winked, leaning in closer, "I'm sure she will find someone to get her one too."
Gina gave her an apologetic look before looking back at him, she was obviously flustered, Marina rolled her eyes.
The bartender must have witnessed this because he reached his arm out and placed his hand on the bar in front of Marina, "What are you drinking beautiful? It's on the house."
"Make me your favorite drink." Marina smiled.
"You got it baby girl." He nodded before turning around to make a drink.
Marina turned toward them, Gina was looking over at her wiggling her eyebrows and Kenny was glaring at her.
"This guy is so cute, oh my God." Gina whispered into Marina's ear before sitting straight up on her stool again.
Marina laughed, "Yeah, he's pretty hot." She spoke loud enough that Kenny would be able to hear.
He sent her a mean look before Gina turned to face him, he gave her his pretty boy smile again, "What's your name beautiful?" He asked.
"Gina! What's yours?"
"Kevin." Kenny grinned.
"Like the kid from Home Alone!"
"Yeah." He nodded, laughing.
"Here you go gorgeous." The bartender sat her drink in front of her, "I got your drinks for the night by the way." He winked at her before looking at Gina and Kenny.
He raised his eyebrows in question, as if not even bothering to ask out loud what they wanted.
"I want a cranberry vodka." Gina told him instantly.
"And I want a rum and coke." Kenny told him.
He nodded before starting to pour their drinks.
Once he handed them their drinks, Kenny and Gina continued flirting.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Marina stood up and started walking in the direction of the bathroom.
"Hey!" Some girl yelled to her left, she turned her head to make sure it wasn't her they were shouting at.
"Me?" Marina mouthed to her and pointed at herself.
The girl nodded and waved her over. Marina crossed the room to the table where they were all standing around, there were 3 girls and 3 guys.
"My friend is chickening out on this shot so we have an extra. You want it?" She asked.
"What kind of shot is it?"
"Gummy Bear."
"Fuck it, why not." Marina shrugged.
She picked up the shot and took it with them. She was shocked at how good it actually tasted.
"That might be the best shot I've ever had." She told them over the music.
"It's pretty good!" The other girl added.
"What are you drinking?" The first girl asked her.
"I don't really know. I told the bartender to make me his favorite drink. It's pretty good."
"So were you third wheeling over there?" The second girl asked.
"No." Marina laughed.
"You sure?" The girl nodded toward Gina and Kenny. Marina turned around to see what she was referring to. Kenny was standing between Gina's legs as they made out intensely. For some reason, for just a second or two, she imagined herself as Gina. The fact that Marina knew what it felt like to have her legs resting against his hips and his hands on her back, his lips... Marina looked away quickly when she realized she felt a pang of jealousy.
"Sorry." The girl told her, as if she saw some type of hurt look cross Marina's face.
"Why?" Marina forced out a laugh, "I guess I would have become one. I came here with her and a couple other girls, and he walked up to the bar."
"Well, he's a real hottie. She's lucky."
"I knew him in high school. All the girls drooled over him."
"I'm sure they did. Well you can hang with us if you want! I'm Haley, this is Jessica and Alexis. And these guys are Victor, we call him Vic, and we have Nick and Carson." Haley pointed at each person as she announced them, speaking loud over the music.
Marina quickly made a decision on if she should use her real name or her ID name like Kenny had done. "I'm Marnie." She smiled at them.
"Do you want to do more shots with us? We are celebrating tonight!" Jessica asked.
"Sure! What are we celebrating?"
"Our boy Vic here finally quit his shitty job. He stayed there way too long!" Carson told her.
"Well congratulations!" She gave him a smile from across the table.
"Thank you!"
"Do you want to help me grab these really quick?" Haley asked her.
"Sure!" She followed her up to the bar.
They approached the bartender, Haley told him the shots they wanted, and he made Marina another surprise drink.
They placed the shots on the table and everyone grabbed one besides Alexis.
"To new beginnings!" Victor told them as they all cheered and clinked their shot glasses.
After they all finished drinking them Marina asked them how long they had been friends.
"Since high school. We were all in drama club together." Jessica answered.
"We started hanging out all the time and it has kinda stuck. We come to this bar every Friday night. It's like our thing." Nick told her.
"That's so cool!"
"Have you known the girls you came here with for long?" Haley asked.
"Actually not really. We all work together."
"Oh, no wonder she ditched you to make out with a guy so easily." Alexis laughed.
"I was thinking she was a shitty friend." Haley added.
She wanted to say that Kenny was actually the shitty friend for trying to rub hitting on another girl in her face. But she didn't want them to think bad about him for some reason.
"She's going through a recent break up. The other two just sit outside and smoke for most of the night."
"Oh, that sucks." Jessica pouted.
"So Marina what do you do?" Vic asked.
"I actually, embarrassingly work at Mia's."
"No shame in anywhere you work. Jobs are jobs. You make money and that is all that matters. Probably make more than I do in tips." Vic shrugged.
"Well everyone makes more than you do now. You quit your job!" Carson laughed.
Victor dropped his jaw in shock before he started laughing as well, "Fuck you man."
"I couldn't pass it up!"
"How about this round of shots on me!" Jessica announced, grabbing Haley's arm and walking up to the bar.
Marina turned around to see if Kenny and Gina were still making out. Not to her surprise they were gone. She picked up her cup and chugged the rest.
"You okay?" Alexis asked as the guys were talking amongst themselves.
"Yeah, just trying to see where my friend went."
"Well considering she was with Kenny, I'm sure she will be back at some point after they are done banging somewhere."
"Wait. You know Kenny?" Marina felt her face flush.
"Yea. He came to a bunch of parties at my college last year."
"Do they know Kenny?" She gestured toward the bar where Jessica and Haley were.
"No. They were in a different college at the time. Guy is a massive slut though."
Marina choked on the drink she had just taken, and then started laughing, "He's my best friend."
"Oh my God! I am so sorry!"
"No. It's okay. I know he's a slut. Did you sleep with him?" She asked casually.
"No, I was worried he had some type of STD. He is very attractive though. But you are too. Does he ever hit on you or does he treat you like a sister?"
"Definitely doesn't treat me like a sister." Marina laughed, causing Alexis to laugh too.
Jessica and Haley made their way back and started handing out the shots.
She swallowed hers before going back up to the bar, "Can I get another please?"
"Of course." The bartender winked at her.
