Locked In (Heart)

sixteen

KYLE'S POV

it was essentially a race against the clock for trying to make it to the school on time.

all you could hear was the sounds of footsteps and cartman's heavy breathing.

"if—i pass out i'm suing that motherfucker damien," he cries out.

"dude just hang on for a bit more," kenny shouts, way ahead of me and cartman — he's always been a fast runner.

i checked the time on my phone which read 10:58 p.m. shit.

"we really gotta put it in gear guys we — we have two more minutes," i pant.

"FUCK," i hear cartman yell as we all manage to run a bit faster.

i could finally see the school from a distance and it was almost synonymous to locating the 'X' when looking for treasure, nearly in our grasp.

"THERE SHE IS," kenny yelled excitedly (how does he have so much energy?) when also realizing the school was very close.

we entered the parking lot with one minute to spare and that's when i felt like i truly had to give it my all and began running as fast as my legs could carry.

if i remembered correctly, they said that the opening was in the back of the school so me and kenny began running in that direction.

we finally spot the door that was still open, being held open by tweek and craig that was slowly about to start closing until kenny started screaming, "NO WAIT FOR US PLEASEEEEEEE!"

tweek jumped at the sudden screaming but then obliged as he saw kenny running faster than usain bolt.

he finally made it to the door and bent over attempting to catch his breath, i made it a few seconds behind him.

"w-woah," tweek twitched seeing us tired, "you guys should enter the o-olympics."

"i....know....," kenny panted.

"don't tell me you guys fucking ran here," craig said, "oh god here comes cartman — PUT IT IN GEAR FATASS YOU'RE LATE!"

"F...FUCK YOU....TUCKER," cartman yelled from a distance, clearly in pain.

"OH YOU HEARD THAT BABE? I THINK CARTMAN WAS TELLING US TO CLOSE THE DOOR," craig joked which made tweek laugh.

"NO DON'T PLEASE I'M...SORRY," cartman backtracked.

we finally all made it, 3 minutes after 11 which isn't great, but at least we all made it.

"the e-event already st-stared i can hear damien," tweek whispered as we all walked down the hall to the gym.

"we'll be fine," craig assures him.

i sure hope so, i mean damien did say we had to be on time.....

his voice got louder as we got closer and closer and we finally found ourselves standing in the entrance of the gym.

immediately, i felt nervous. i overlooked the setting for a few seconds and saw everyone sitting in chairs in a circle with damien standing in the center, turning slowly so he can meet everyone's face.

as i overlooked quickly, i spotted a familiar blue hat with a red puffball on top with black hair underneath. my heart quickly dropped.

no fucking way.....

"...and so we're each going to introduce ourselves as we go around in a circle — oh hello. nice of you all to finally join us," damien said as he saw the five of us standing there awkwardly.
