Chapter Seven

Yo guys I was grounded for a week so now I'm back, but the problem is I'm not getting many good Ideas for this, so if you could shed some ideas that would be wonderful. NVM I'M JUST BACK I LIED I That was like last month and now I'm back continuing this, fucking terrible at this.

[Cartman's P.O.V]

After I witnessed Stan, Kyle, and Kenny's little fiasco from afar I decided to leave Butters and make my way to the cafeteria by myself. When I open the doors I see Kyle at a table alone with her head in her arms on the table. Now I could go and sit by her and be nice for once, or sit at a different table... I take another look at the redhead and feel something flutter in my stomach. Oh god damnit, before I know it my body has taken over and I'm walking to the table with the sad Jewish girl.

I set my bagged lunch down because the food at the school sucks ass, I sit down across from her and she looks up at me, her eyes sad and... Fearful? I've never seen her like this.

Whenever she looks at me it's typically with a negative emotion, sometimes she's neutral though. There have been some moments where she's looked at me positively, as rare as it is, I remember each time she's smiled and damn was it a pretty sight... For fucks sakes snap out of it Eric.

I clear my throat and put on my best relaxed face, I can't seem to interested. "You seem less than happy, what's the matter?"

{Kylie/Kyle's P.O.V}

"You seem less than happy, whats the matter?" The boy in front of me asks.

Why is the famous Eric Cartman asking me why I'm upset? I narrow my eyes at him "What's it to you?" The cubby boy rolls his eyes and lets out an exasperated groan.

"I'm just being nice for once Jew." I almost laugh. "You. Being nice... That's a shock." I look at him with a doubtful gaze, a half smile tugging at my lips. His chocolate brown eyes narrow at me, why do I like him? "Aye! I can be nice if I want!" He slams his hand down on the table.

"Yeah if you want, which is ummm... never." I finally crack and give him an amused smile. Cartman stares at me and we lock eye contact. No its not glaring like we usually do, it's just... starring, not awkward though it's kinda nice. He seems a little shocked, is it because I smiled at him?

We're interrupted by Kenny and Stan sitting down with us, Stan next to me and Kenny next to Cartman. Stan seems to be giving Cartman a look of animosity, not sure why though.

{Cartman's P.O.V}

That fucking hippie just glared at me. Kyle looks at Stan oddly for a second then looks back down at the table. Stan continues glaring at me, the fucks his problem?

"Soooo you guys have an interesting conversation or something?" Kenny asks.

"Yes we were until you two came to ruin it." I say with a little more bite than intended. Kenny chuckles while Stan... continues to glare.

"Oh it can't be that interesting, I'm sure." Stan says darkly. This guy has a problem, is he... jealous? I mean I thought he had a crush on the Jew for awhile but I chalked it up to just a phase when he broke up with Wendy, maybe I was wrong. "Actually Stan we had a great conversation, but you just had to ruin it with your hippie self." I state firmly, I return his glare. Stan narrows his eyes sharpening his scowl, I see Kyle look at us nervously.

"Oh really. What was it about?" Stans voice  gets lower with every word he says.

"Not really sure how it's any of your fucking business Marsh."

Kenny looked over to Kyle and and motioned for her to follow him leave, he walked out of the cafeteria with her.

Once they were out of ear shot I snap my head towards him."What's your fucking deal asshole?" I bark out.

"You are my fucking deal Cartman." Stan slams his fist on the table. "Stay away from her Cartman, I mean it!" I grit my teeth in agitation, who the hell does he think he is?

"The fuck do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean! I know you like her fatass and I don't want you hurting her!" I pause, I'm taken back for a moment. "H-How would you even that?!" He rolls his eyes unsmused.

"I've known sense we were in 4th grade, I know that the reason you piss her off and harass her all the time is because you like her, possibly love her. I know it hasn't been as often lately, but it doesn't excuse these past years. I know you're still stuck in that 'bullying cause you like em' phase, but I frankly don't give a shit. You've been a prick to us, TO HER for years. You would break her as soon as you have her. You don't deserve her, do you understand me?"

I look down at the table, my fist clenching. The fact I hate most right now isn't that he's out of line with what he's saying. It's the fact that I know he's right. I'm an asshole, I've been horrible to my friends for years, especially her. I know for a damn fact that I'd ruin it if I was even given a chance. As much as I hate it, he's right. I don't deserve her, I don't even deserve to call her my friend.

Still. I can't let this hippie think he's won.

"Oh, like you're so much better Stan? I know you like her too, but you seem to not be so obvious about it when you get back with your whore. You break up and you go into your emo little bitch party, Kyle is there to comfort you and you oggle over her. Then Wendy comes back and you drop Kyle again.  Then it fucking repeats itself, again, and again. You think I'M going to hurt her? If she does choose you you're just going to keep playing her and ditching her for Wendy, then crawl back to her, and she's going to take you back, because of how much she cares about you! You will fucking shatter her because of how much of a  douchebag you are! Don't. Fucking. Say. That I'm bad for her when your just as bad Marsh. In the end neither of us deserve her, and you know that." He just looks at me stunned, but he quickly shakes it off and puts a pissed face on. He mumbles something inaudible while gritting his teeth before he stands up abruptly. He shoots one last glare at me before he stalks off out of the cafeteria.

Well, at least I can sulk in peace.

{Kenny's P.O.V}

Seeing how things were heating up between Stan and Cartman I decided it was best to take Kyle out of there, considering I know for a fact it was about her.

After a minute or so of walking she finally asks. "So, what was going on in there?"

I sigh not knowing how to answer. I can't tell her it was about her, she wouldn't understand without me telling her about their battle to win her over, no I can't tell her. I clear my throat lightly while sticking my hands in my pocket.

"Oh I'm sure it was just something stupid, you know how Cartman and Stan are." She looks down unconvinced.

"But Cartman has been good recently, why would Stan be angry?" Fuck. I don't know how to respond to that.

"I honestly don't know Ky." Kylie and I have gotten a lot closer sense 4th grade, we hung out once by ourselves and it was awesome, we just kinda clicked, so we decided to do it more often, from then on we became closer, she's like my sister.

"How do you feel about Cartman, honestly?" I know she knows she can trust me with anything, same for me I know she wouldn't tell anyone my secrets. She hasn't told anyone anything I've vented to her about, I've had break downs over dying and coming back and she was there for me, even when I wouldn't tell her exactly what it was, she still offered her support.

I trust her completely and she trusts me, our friendship is truly forged well.

"I honestly don't know Ken... He's been an asshole, but he's had these moments, these sparks where I can see he means well deep down. I know he struggles with showing emotion, I know it doesn't excuse everything but..." She blushes slightly and looks away sighing deeply.

She definitely likes him, she's just scared. I nod and continue.

"Well, what about Stan?" She doesn't reply for awhile. "You know how I used to like him, but I know how much he is in love with Wendy and I got over it fairly quickly. Granted, I don't think the breaking up constantly is healthy, but it's his choice, I just want him to be happy."

I nod, and decide to lighten the mood. "What's about me?" I look at her and wiggle my eyebrows seductively. She giggles and pushes me away slightly. "Knock it off." I smile and we stop walking at some lockers. "Awww but why? Am I that repulsive?" We laugh for awhile then it eventually dies down into a comfortable silence.

I start to think, I know Stan likes her, I'm positive, I've always been good at reading people and their feelings. He likes her, but he's also head over heals for Wendy like he's always been. And Cartman? Well he's been in love with her since 4th grade even if he didn't know he was at first.

Kyle, well she likes them both in a way, but is very hesitant mostly with Stan. It looks like I have a little love-triangle on my hands. I start to speak but stop when I see an angry Stan stomping down the hallway, I already know him and Cartman's little chat in the cafeteria didn't go so well. "Stan? What's wrong?" He doesn't look towards us and continues down the hallway till he turns a corner and is out of sight.

"What's his problem?" She asks, hurt evident in her voice. I sigh and look down the hallway where he just was. "I don't know Kyle... I don't know." She looks down sad and confused, I feel bad for the poor girl. She has no idea that this whole thing is about her, the question is...

When it comes down to it... who will win her heart?

Oh wow that took awhile to write. I hope you guys enjoyed this long chapter, see you next time.
