The boy with the hello kitty hairclip - DISCONTINUED

2- school

I wake up tired, but that's no surprise. I've been thinking about one specific boy too much. He lives inside my head and stays there. Then the imaginary scenarios at night just get stronger and stronger until I finally have enough and just go see him.

His name is Butters.

Or buttercup, as my Mysterion persona likes to call him. Mysterion is way more straightforward with his—my— emotions than I, Kenny, will ever be. I guess it's just more comfortable showing my affection to Butters when he doesn't know who I am. Maybe one day I'll be able to tell him how I feel, maybe one day I'll stop being such a chicken.

Maybe one day.

But I shouldn't think about this too much. School's almost starting, and I better get ready. Don't wanna be late again. Now, how should I style my jacket? Maybe a half-zip, Butters likes that, doesn't he?

Kenny, I just said that you should think about that. Jeez.

A flash of bright cyan sitting on my desk catches my eye- oh, Butter's hello kitty hairclip. He probably would want that back. As I pick the clip up, I feel a sudden rush of affection for whatever reason. Butters did look really cute in that hairclip... 

Almost instinctively, I place the clip in my hair and head out the door. Whatever, I probably don't look as lovely as Butters did, anyway.

"Heya, fellas!" A familiar voice brightens my mood instantly. I suddenly feel as if my head clears of a sense of longing that has been there since the last time I left Butters and fills with memories of a blonde-haired boy with innocent sky-blue eyes. I spin, immediately hit with a pang of jealousy to see that Butters is talking to Cartman. I mean, sure, they hang out and I get a little resentful, but I've never been this bothered by that fact before. Maybe his hello kitty hairclip is messing with my brain. 

Cartman catches my slight glare and I see a smirk tug at the end of his mouth. That bitch. He turns his attention back to Butters and gives such a pretentious bright smile to him that by this point Kylie Jenner is bleeding her eyes out because she isn't the fakest person in the word anymore. I roll my eyes and rush over. I need to see Butters, whether Cartman is there or not.

"-then Mysterion left. I don't think he's a bad guy, Eric. He doesn't have to be your worst enemy!" I hear Butters trying to talk some sense into Cartman when they're in earshot. You tell him, Butters.

"Prolly cause he fucks you or something. Mysterion is the worst! The Cewn is the BEST superhero! And, Butters, if you try to talk me out of challenging him one day, then fu-" I cut him off before he can say some more mean shit to my Butters again. 

"Hey, you." I flash Butters one of my best grins. "Cartman." I nod meanfully in his direction, but implying that I don't really like him, or notice him that much.

Did Butter's face lift, or was it the lighting? "Hey Ke-!" He starts.

"You cut me off,  Kenny." Cartman eyes me up and down, hands in his pockets with a fierce glare. 

"You cut Butters off, Cartman."  I eye him mockingly the same way in return. What a douchebag.

"Wow" He says sarcastically and rolls his eyes. "Why don't you just suck Butter's balls, Kenny." 

I wish I could. I catch myself before it slips out. 

"What are you talking about Eric?" Butter's innocent expression catches me by surprise and I flinch. He catches my slight movement and stares at me, confusion written all over his face.

God, he's adorable even when he's not trying.

I gaze shifts back to Cartman, who's currently looking back and forth between me and Butters. Finally, he grabs Butter's arm and struts away, mumbling something like "you guys are so fucking gay,"  and leaving me in annoyed silence.

Whatever. His mum's still a dirty slut in the end. Ha ha. 

"Fatass steal your beloved, again?" A voice I register as Kyle's laughs bitterly.

"Butters isn't my-" I start, but sigh instead. I know that isn't true.

"Hi Kenny." A boy wearing a pretty sweet brown and red jacket approaches me, one arm looped around Kyle's shoulder. Stan seems quite cheerful today, but of course, he's always like that with Kyle around. They look at each other for a moment, giggle, and turn back to me. 

"Hey." I reply.

"Nice hairclip." Kyle erupts into a burst of giggles and laughs followed by snort from Stan.

My face burns and I quickly reach up to grab the damn thing. But I snatched it too quickly and it snaps. My face falls in realisation in what I just did. 

Everything around me fades away and I can feel my heart drop. Damnit, Butters is going to be so mad!

"Shit shit shit!" I gasp whilst desperately trying to fix the clip. The hello kitty part of it has snapped off, and now its just a blue hairclip. I can't help but think, Butters is going to hate me! 

"Oops. Your priceless heirloom has just broke." Kyle smiles.

"Was that from Butters?" Stan asks, and I nod. "He'll probably forgive you, Butters is like that." 

"Nah I'm pretty sure that's his favourite one." Wow. Nice Kyle, I definitely needed that bit of information, thanks very much! 

"I-I'll get him a new one! There are much prettier ones, right? Right?" I stammer. Stan shrugs, arm still in place hanging from Kyles shoulder. Fags.

Tweek has just joined the conversation, hand in hand with Craig, but I can't talk right now, I need to get this fixed immediately. 

An array of sobs comes from the bathroom, and before I can guess who it is I see...

Butters.

Butters, my Butters, crying with Cartman's fist in his face.
