Locked In (Heart)

twenty one

STAN'S POV

competitiveness is a natural instinct that all humans have whether they want to admit it or not.

i never buy that bullshit that people come up with stating, "i don't care if i win or not" because most likely, that ends up being the people who would elbow you in the jaw near the finish line to get what they want.

it's not just subjected to sports either, but to life as a whole.

and maybe i am a competitive person, but it's not my fault. for some reason now more than ever, i want to win.

currently, me, tweek, and jason were stealthily making our way towards the cafeteria, also known as team blue's base.

wendy seemed as if that was the best option. she determined that the red team (kyle's team) were gonna attempt to take out yellow team (cartman's team) because of them possibly of the mixture of them being the weakest link and kyle's undying pettiness and hatred towards cartman.

i was amazed she read him like a book....because that is most likely what's gonna happen.

so we decided to go ahead and take out team blue (kenny's team).

tweek, jason, and i all made it to the main stair entry where you can see the opening of the cafeteria...the doors were closed and outside bebe and nichole were acting as guards.

"scary," tweek twitched, "t-they're are scarier than the royal g-guards."

"pip would know that," jason snickered and so did tweek.

i was focusing on how could we get past them easily without them knowing.

as if on cue, cartman and butters made their way to the two guards in typical cartman-butters action with cartman leading the way and butters fiddling with his fingers probably rethinking his life choices.

guess cartman isn't guarding his base which is a shock, kyle's team is definitely going to have the advantage receiving their flag.

kyle's probably getting the flag with craig and clyde and.....kevin.

i don't know why him being with kevin bothers me so much, but it does.

i shook my head to make myself focus on what was happening in front of me and saw cartman just casually talking to nichole and bebe.

"the hell?" i mumble.

in our version of capture the flag, any one caught from a different team in their respective base without capturing that team's flag can become captured.

for example, since we were near blue team's base and don't have the blue team's flag yet — blue team has all the rights to capture the intruders and keep them as their captives. that's why butters and cartman casually walking up to them is shocking because they could just capture them.

however, after watching for a few seconds i could see that cartman's mannerisms and body language are of that of a schemer....he's plotting.

"i can't hear what they're talking about but i think cartman is trying to convince them of something," i tell jason and tweek who looked shocked.

"m-maybe to join forces?" tweek whispers and i nod taking note of that.

their teams are fairly weak compared kyle's team and mine alone...but if they joined forces they could possibly take us out in some ways.

tweek was definitely right on the money because they just...let cartman and butters in and with the sound that the door made after it closed it appears locked.
