Kenny had come to the conclusion that Pip was an enigma, and a selfless one at that.
He had seen Pip last night. Watched as he'd given up his drink for the homeless old woman he often saw on the way home from school. It was a simple gesture, but one that Kenny found memorable and poignant. Being a poor person himself, Kenny knew how much something as simple as a warm drink could mean to someone on a bad day and the smile that graced the woman's face afterwards was worth every step he'd taken to follow Pip.
Knowing the Brit's habit of getting into trouble, Kenny had secretly tailed him after school. Well, technically it was after detention, but thankfully for Kenny, Pip was also in detention, although he had no idea why. Pip was a goody two-shoes and never set a foot wrong in school, so him being in detention seemed uncanny. Despite this, Kenny thought it would be worthwhile finding out where the boy lived for future reference.
Kenny had swiftly run along building rooftops as his alter ego, watching the blonde's every move without the threat of being seen under the cloak of darkness. The mission was pretty boring at first - having to watch one of his least favourite people simply walking down the street, being ignored left, right and centre by people he smiled at. After twenty minutes or so, Pip arrived at Tweek Bros Coffeehouse and went inside, returning a few minutes later with a steaming cup.
Kenny perched up high and waited for him to make his move back home, but instead the smaller blonde chose to give up his drink for a stranger, leaving him confused and bemused by his actions. A little while later, the superhero soon found himself having to step in and save Pip from Tenorman and his gang after they abducted him. Deciding to take care of the villains from afar, he dropped heavy ballast sacks on the group.
He took one last look at the delighted Pip before taking a mad dash back home, without seeing the Brit's journey all of the way through, not caring enough to see if he made it home okay. It was too much hassle.
What was with this kid?
Kenny shook these thoughts away as he stepped through the school doors, heading towards his two friends by the lockers.
"Hey Kenny!" Kyle greeted as his orange clad friend approached. "Wow, you look beat! Are you alright?"
Kenny ran his hand through his scruffy fringe. "I'm good, just a little tired."
"Heard the news?" Stan asked.
"What news?"
"Garrison's making us do a group project which will go towards our final Geography mark. He's gonna be putting us into groups later today." Stan said, passing his bag to Kyle.
"Aw, shit." Kenny grumbled, running his hands through his locks. "What's the project about?"
"I heard it was about the countries of Europe, so that shouldn't be too bad." Kyle said, holding Stan's bag as his best friend shoved some books inside of the front pouch. "Right?"
"He's still putting us into groups though. Plus Geography sucks. It's gonna be totally lame." Stan replied, taking his bag from his best friend. "Besides, if he pairs us off we know for definite that we're not going to be with people we're friends with. He's a dick like that."
"Well, as long as I'm not with Cartman I can't complain." Kyle smiled, throwing his bag over his shoulder.

Later that day, Kenny and his friends found themselves being bored to death by Kevin as he spoke about his science project during their Chemistry class. The geek was standing at the front of the classroom, getting excited over something the blonde didn't understand nor care to think about, so Kenny spent the rest of his time ogling Wendy.
