Bunny - Battle of the bands

Chapter 11

Friday morning at school is hectic. Everyone is gearing up for the second battle. This week 8 bands would go up against each other. The week after this was a break week to prepare for semi finals.

Butters gets to class early. He sits in the corner of the room while he waits. A few girls come in, they are talking about Kenny. Butters can't help but overhear them.

"Girl- that's what I'm saying!!! If he makes those kinds of expressions onstage, just imagine how he looks in bed."

"You make a good point. Imagine that face looking down on you..."

"Ah!! Stop... you're gonna make me blush."

Butters watches from the corner. He starts to feel a bit uncomfortable, so he goes outside.

Around the side of the school, where there's usually no one, Butters finds Kenny smoking.

"Kenny?"

"Oh, hey."

"You smoke?"

"I do. If the smell bothers you then just stay back a few feet. What are you doing out here?"

"Wanted to get away from all the commotion."

"Same here, I love the attention but I need to be alone sometimes."

"Do you want me to leave? I can if-"

"No. Stay. You're chill. You don't stress me out like the general public does. Being alone but with you sounds fine to me."

"I- okay. I'll stay." Butters sits down on the grass.

"So, Butters..."

"Leo."

"Leo?"

"Call me Leo. It's my real name. Cartman is the reason the nickname Butters stuck around. I don't actually like it very much."

"Okay. Leo. How are you feeling about the band? Everything going okay with your manager job?"

"Yeah, it's actually kinda fun to work with you like this."

"Interesting..."

"What is?"

"You."

"Why?"

"You just do a lot of things that intrigue me."

"Oh. Is that good?"

"I guess so."

"Good... B-by the way... uhm..."

"What's up?"

"Uh... my birthday is next week... on Friday? I was gonna ask if you maybe... like, if you aren't busy..."

"Get to the point, Leo."

"Will you come hang out with me on Friday?"

"Birthday party?"

"Uh, well kinda. I don't really have any friends so it would just be us..."

"What if I make it a party?"

"What?"

Kenny puts out his cigarette. "I can get anyone in this school to come to your party."

"You would do that for me?"

"... yes."

"You're so cool..."

"Haha, thanks?"

Leo blushes. "I didn't mean to say that out loud..."

"I'm glad you did." Kenny smiles at him, making him blush even more.

"Uh, I should go!" Leo trips as he scurries away.

Kenny folds his arms. "He really does have a thing for me. Interesting."
