WEELLLLL I have decided to keep them in high school for a little longer. Got some new ideas. Decided I wanted to write a little more drama. :) The college ones will most likely come back. But for now, I have deleted them.


Marina's few months of bliss was cut short quickly when her mom informed her that she had to move back with her dad because she and her boyfriend were going to sell the house and travel the world.

So here she was, now unpacking her shit yet again in her old bedroom. She made her dad and Liane promise not to tell Cartman she was staying for good, just visiting. She really wanted a few more moments of peace before being bombarded with friends. If they even wanted to be her friend anymore. She had this ongoing fear about spending lunch in the girls bathroom, Mean Girls style.

Marina finished her hair and flipped herself off in the mirror.
She made sure she was running late enough that when she got to school everyone would be in class. She walked up to her old locker which was surprisingly empty and still open. Marina threw her backpack inside and put her old lock back on. Letting out a sigh as she headed toward her new first period.

She walked in the room in the middle of the announcements and the teacher sent her a warm smile. Marina wasn't sure if she knew if she was an old student here a few months ago. But she seemed to think Marina was new. "Sit wherever you like sweetie." She whispered toward her.

She turned to look at the class, hearing a few people gasp and some whisper. She moved over to the empty seat beside Butters.

"Hey Butters." Marina sighed as she sat down.

"Marina! What happened? I thought you moved to California?" He whispered.

"Had to move back. Long story." She slouched in her seat.

"Has anyone seen you yet?"

"Nope. I just got here. Cartman doesn't doesn't know I officially moved back in to my dad's. How's Lisa Berger?"

"Oh um.." His smile faded, "We broke up."

"Why?"

"I don't want to go into it right now."

"I'm sorry." She frowned.

He shrugged, mindlessly playing with the spiral in his notebook.

Marina walked into biology, a few seconds after the bell. She decided to be late to each class so that she wouldn't accidentally sit in someone's seat and have to embarrassingly move. The teacher was sitting at his desk and his eyes moved to her, "Hello, welcome back! I have an open seat right over there." Mr. Peters smiled at her. She had him for a different science class last year and he was always so funny. She was actually looking forward to being in his Biology class.

The chair looked to be in the very back, far corner by the windows.

She was halfway toward that last open chair of the two person high top tables, when she realized who was sitting in the occupied chair. She would recognize that hoodie anywhere.

Kenny had his hood up and his head down in his arms as if asleep.

Dammit…

Marina sat on the chair and carefully placed her things on the table. Wanting to avoid talking to him for as long as possible.

"We are going to be starting our labs today. Open your books to chapter 4. Follow the instructions listed. And Mr. McCormick… Mr. McCormick.. KENNETH!" Kenny's head shot up to look at Mr. Peters. "You have a partner now so you are going to need to put forth a little more effort in this class. I doubt she wants to fail because of you."

The class instantly goes into the noise of partners talking.

Kenny turned toward her, his eyes scanned her legs first. Pig. "Hi sweetie. I'm Kenny. Are-" His eyes met hers and he frowned, "Oh Hell no!" He whispered.

She sighed.

"What the hell are you doing here? In this class?" He snapped quietly.

"Oh my God! Marina!? I'm so excited to see you back again! I missed you so much! How are you!?" She mocked dramatically.

"I'm not excited in the slightest." He deadpanned, "And you wish I missed you."

She rolled her eyes, "I was assigned for this class when I was re-enrolled into this school. What does he mean fail? You aren't putting effort into this class? How are you getting into college if you aren't passing classes? You need your scholarship!"

He narrowed his bright blue eyes at her, "Why are you back? And mind your own business, Marina." His voice was cold, and he spoke her name in a mocking tone.

She ignored his attitude, "Why aren't you trying Kenny? I thought you wanted to do something important in your future. What happened?"

"I said to mind your own business. Why am I just now finding out you are here? Is your mom okay? Cartman must not even know you're back to stay or he would have told us this morning."

"He doesn't know. And mind your own business as well Kenny."

"But is she okay? She's okay right?" She watched brief fear cross his face and she remembered how much her mom went out of her way for him. She almost felt bad for not answering.

"She's okay. Traveling the world with the money from the house I was living in with her and that home wrecker."

"Let's do this assignment I guess." He sighed.

Just as she thought the awkwardness couldn't get any worse, the bell finally rang. Since the school wasn't big, they all had lunch between 2nd and 3rd period. Kenny shot out of the classroom so fast. And she knew by the time she made it to the cafeteria everyone would know she was back.

Marina walked alone into the large room, she spotted Wendy and Bebe first. Their eyes met hers and they broke out into big smiles before running up to her. They both hugged her at the same time, nearly pulling Marina down to the ground. She hugged them back and almost cried at how nice they were being. She was so worried after talking to Kenny. She wasn't sure how everyone else would feel about her not talking to anyone after leaving.

"We missed you so much!" Wendy laughed loudly.

"I'm sorry I didn't reach out while I was gone." She told them.

"What!? Don't be! You were going through some shit! We figured you'd talk to us when you were ready! Come on let's go get some food and sit down!" Wendy grabbed her wrist and pulled Marina along with her.

She walked behind them up to the large table filled with their friends.

"Marina!" Kyle and Stan cheered loudly.

"We missed you! Why didn't you tell us you were back!? You could have rode with us to school!" Stan smiled at her.

"I just needed some silence before coming." She glanced around and noticed Kenny was missing.

She sat down on the open seat beside Nicole, who hugged her tightly, "So happy you're back!"

"Thank you." Marina smiled at her.

Cartman dropped his tray in front of Marina, "How come I was not told you'd be here? We live in the same house!"

"I told them not to tell you yet."

"Of course you did." He scoffed.

"I didn't want you bothering me." She laughed. He smiled at her.

In the last 15 minutes of lunch Kenny dropped into the open seat beside her, "How was your lay, Magic Mike?" Cartman asked him.

"He's a stripper, I am, very unfortunately, not. And it was great." He chuckled, reaching over and grabbing a fry from Marina's tray.

"Excuse me. That was mine." She told him quickly.

"You wanted a cold fry?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"She looked away from him, rolling her eyes toward Cartman who looked at them with amusement, "Maybe." She grumbled.

"I can gag myself and give it back if you really need it."

"I'm good, thanks."


The following morning she walked out with Cartman. She slid into the middle seat and Kenny dropped in beside her. His body was stiff as he leaned as close to the door as he could.

"So Marina. How was Cali?" Kyle asked her.

"It was nice. Hot and sunny."

"Meet any new friends there?"

"A few. I was doing online home schooling there. So it was harder to meet people."

"Any of them sexy surfers?" Cartman turned to ask her, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You're stupid. I only had one sexy surfer friend and it was a guy."

"Oooh have you guys talked since you left?"

"No."

"We all know Marina moves and pretends you don't exist anymore." Kenny scoffed.

"You know what?! It was only a few months! And I was dealing with a new environment and going through some stuff. It was really hard to watch my mom be with someone else like that. You can tone down your dick level a little bit Kenny, shit."

"Oh Kenny's dick is at a very high level lately. You should have seen him at the New Years party. He was literally selling first of the year kisses."

"Hey shut up. I made 150 something bucks off that."

"Only because you offered a few sex."

"Wow. Very classy Ken. I guess I'm not surprised."

"You should have seen the line Mar! It was so long." Cartman laughed.

"Why do we have to discuss this?" Kyle asked.

"How many diseases did you get?" She asked.

"Oh you know, all of them." Kenny answered easily, the corners of his lips turning up just slightly.

"That sounds like fun. Shame I missed out. Did you have to kill yourself to get rid of them?"

"You know I did." He fully grinned.

"What does that even mean?" Stan asked.

"Seriously.." Kyle added.

"Lisa Berger paid him 25 dollars for a make out." Cartman laughed, ignoring all of us.

Her eyes went wide, smile fading, "You're the reason Butters and Lisa broke up!?" She asked Kenny quickly.

"Hey! She came to me for that."

"That's really shitty and low, even for you Kenny. You should have seen the face Butters made when I asked how they were. And I thought you were against cheating?"

"I've had a few opinions change." He shrugged.

"After you broke his heart."

"Shut the fuck up Cartman. Just shut up! Stop giving him a hard time about that! I was under the impression Kenny didn't like girls for anything other than sex. So you can hop off your shit and shut your damn mouth. I am so sick of hearing you talk already and I've only been here for 3 days!"

"Fuck you Marina!"

"Fuck you Cartman!" She reached up and smacked him on the side of his head.

"I'm not afraid to hit a girl!" Cartman yelled.

"Hit her and you're done riding to school in my car Cartman!" Stan yelled over him.

"Why do we always fight like siblings?" Kyle asked softly.

"Because we have known each other long enough to be considered family. It's why are all stay friends even when we are pissed." Stan sighed.

"That's true." Kenny agreed.

She sighed, sitting back against the seat, "How's everyone else doing? Still dating your girls?"

"Obviously." Stan laughed.

"Me and Nicole are going strong and steady."

"I don't even want to talk about crazy Heidi. She's even more pissed because Kenny wouldn't kiss her on New Years. And she tried to pay him. Little slut."

"I may be a man whore but you can't pay me enough to kiss any lips that have touched your nasty dick." Kenny laughed.

Stan and I burst into laughter. Kyle laughed a little.

"Why do you guys insist on bullying me?" Cartman whined.

"Because you constantly insist on bullying us." Kyle told him easily.

"If you're gonna dish it out, you better be able to take it too."

Cartman turned to face her, "That sounded really sexual Mar. You know we could still play out some Step sibling fantasies. Especially now that you're not stuck on this ones dick all the time." He gestured toward Kenny, "I'm not as picky as Kenny. Or else I'd be single forever. Since he's basically fucked every girl in our graduating class but Wendy."

"There are 5 others I haven't touched."

"You would know that." I grumbled, and then glared at Cartman, "I agree with Kenny on not wanting anything to do with your nasty dick."

"I can't believe you'd screw Kenny but not me. He probably has more diseases than a whore in a whore house."

"He doesn't, or at least didn't."

"I don't." Kenny interjected.

"And Kenny is hot. Look at him. He takes care of his body and he looks like a supermodel. He also knows how to charm your pants off. Trust me. It's real. I was suckered into his charms way too easily."

"Thank you for the compliment." Kenny sent her a small smile.

"Anytime. Really."

"I thought you hated her?"

"I don't hate her. I don't like her very much at the moment. But I'm not gonna ignore a compliment." He grinned.

"You're an animal."

"I know. I really should be ashamed but I'm not."

Stan pulled into the school and they got out.

The girls stepped in line with her and started catching her up on everything she had missed while away. They even walked her to first period.

Marina had already learned that Bebe and Clyde broke up. Kenny didn't tell him but she felt too guilty. She was sleeping with Braiden still.

Craig and Tweek got caught banging under the bleachers and are suspended for one more week. Wendy and Stan almost broke up last month but they worked it out. They told her all about who was newly dating and who broke up, and who's currently sleeping with who. All of the talk, but not once did they mention anything about Kenny. She assumed it might be because they didn't know if they should. They knew she left because of him.

Second period she walked in and dropped her books hard on the high top desk next to Kenny. His eyes moved from his phone over to her.

"You could just say hello, you don't have to be all dramatic."

"But it's more fun being dramatic."

"True." He nodded going back to texting someone.

"So who are you texting? Your dessert later?"

"Yes. And Jordan."

"Damn. You still modeling for that guy?"

"Hell yeah I am. He's got a new girlfriend too. And that free weed is amazing."

"I could really use some weed right now. I haven't smoked in so long. After all this shit I'm really wanting it bad."

"Maybe I'll share some. Let me think about it."

"Or maybe I'll just go sleep with Jordan again and he will give me some for free."

"I don't care if we aren't sleeping together anymore. And even if we aren't best friends like we were, I am not going to let you do that. That guy is one sick bastard. And I will not stand by and let you do that. You don't even know what he did the last time you were there and you should be thankful I found out."

"Well If you're going to word it like that you better fucking tell me what he did!" I snapped in a whisper.

"He recorded the whole thing. Bragged about it to me. And I had to send him a video jacking off for him to delete it. And I still don't trust he has other copies saved. He talks about you a lot. You must be the best looking one he's slept with."

"I rocked his world for that free ID. I bet he talks about it still." I laughed softly.

"You're not upset about the video? What if he posted it?"

"He won't post it."

"How do you know that?"

"Because then he will know it will for sure never happen again."

"You're sick. You know that?"

"So are you Kenny." She chuckled.
