Kyles POV: I get out of bed for my second day of 5th grade. Yesterday was about what I expected, I just don't understand why Cartman singles me out so much all the time. Time to go back I guess. I head down the stairs and head out to the bus stop. We make small talk and get on the bus, and then arrive at the school

"Hey Kyle, can I talk to you?" It was Wendy
"Uhh sure" I reply

"Alright, well I think something is off with Stan, and I don't know how to talk to him about it so I thought I'd ask you."

"What makes you say that?" Oh shit, I thought. I had a feeling this was going to turn into a conversation I really didn't want to have, but I put on a fake smile and listened to her reply.

"I don't know how to describe it, it seems like somethings off. He's nice and all, but he just doesn't seem all interested in me anymore"

"I'm sorry Wendy, but I honestly don't know what you mean." I feel like I'm being interrogated. I was a little surprised by this, he always seemed kinda stressed out about their relationship, but he didn't like to go into detail. Maybe I'll ask him about it later.

"Alright, well thanks I guess." she says clearly disappointed.

I feel kinda bad. She's a nice girl, but I just don't think she's the right match for Stan. I wish she would find someone else to date. Someone who didn't cause so much stress and drama for both of them. Someone who wasn't my best friend...

I go to class, mentally debating if I'm going to mention this to Stan and what I'm going to say. I don't even know why I'm stressing about this. Why do I even care and their relationship? Why do I find myself wishing they would break up?

As I head to lunch, I decide to mention it. "Hey Stan, Wendy said something to me that I think you should know about."

He turned to me looking concerned and surprised, "What the hell were you talking to Wendy about?"

"Well, I think I should let you know that she came up to me this morning and said she thought something was off about you."

"Kyle- I really don't wanna talk about this right now" he responded looking angry and flustered"

"Ok that's fine man, just know I'm here for you"
I then join in on the tables conversation, I guess they're talking about relationships again. I'm really not in the mood so I kinda just half pay attention and give one-word answers.

Finally, the day ends and I go home. I still can't help but think about Stan and Wendy. What is going on? Why am I acting like this? Why did Stan get so weird at lunch today? Why was Wendy even talking to me about all this? I get home and sit in my room trying to get my mind off everything. Then I hear a knock at the door.
