Here in this labyrinth (I'm trapped)

Part 2

3:57, Kyle arrives home from school. He slumps up the stairs, and enters his room. He drops his backpack onto the floor by his bed and climbs into his bed. He reaches for his phone on his nightstand, and starts to scroll on instagram.

3:57, Cartman is at home, scrolling through the photos he took of Kyle's diary, now being able to read the words thoroughly without being caught. Eventually, Cartman thinks of a plan. "I will send it to Bebe and Clyde, so when they talk about it at school (because they cant keep their mouths shut) they will be overheard by others, and it will spread and spread to the point it can't be connected back to me." He thinks to himself.

3:58, Kyle decides to text Stan a question he's been wondering a while. "Hey, where did you
(and kenny) even find my diary?"

3:58, Stan looks up from the video game he was playing and looks at the text on his phone. "Sh*t." Stan whispers, turning off his video game. He screenshots the text and sends it to Kenny. "What the f*ck do I say?"

3:59, Cartman comes up with an even better idea to spread the truth about Kyle.

3:59, Kenny checks his about ten years old andriod, and it reads a text from Stan. Kenny quickly texts back. "Just say we found it on the floor in the hall... unless you want to tell him that CARTMAN read his diary."

4:00, Stan responds to Kenny's text. "I'm obviously not going with the second option." Stan texts Kyle back, "We just found it on the floor, and your name was on the cover so we went to return it."

4:00, Kyle reads the text and sighs. "Well, atleast Cartman didn't read it."

Stan stares at the text for a while, guilt building up inside of him. "Haha, yea." Is all he responds with, going into the kitchen to leave his phone on the counter before returning back to the living room.

Kyle sighs, putting his playlist on shuffle and pulling a book out of his backpack to read.

Kenny reads a magazine on his bed with Karen next to him, humming a song to drown out his parents arguing for the both of them.

Cartman can't help but laugh, feeling on top of the world, printing many copies of the pictures he took earlier. "She will never see what's coming for her." He smiles.

And that was the last Friday that Kyle felt human.

Sunday night, Cartman snuck into school and taped pictures of Kyle's diary all over the walls and on the doors of Kyle's, Kenny's, and Stan's lockers. He knew he would get caught eventually, but he keeps his mindset as "as long as people found out Kyle is a girl, and I ruin his life, then I don't care how much trouble I get into." He finishes his horrible deed and leaves the school, a smile on his face.

Monday morning, Kyle wakes up as usual, gets ready for school like a regular Monday, and heads to the bus stop. "Hey guys, where's Cartman?" Kyle questions, noticing the boy not there. "I think hes already at school." Stan replied, Kenny nodding next to him. "What- why? Doesn't he hate school?" He asks. Stan just shrugged, and eventually the bus came to take the three boys to school.

The second Stan, Kenny, and most importantly Kyle, came through the door, everyone's heads turned to look at them. Kyle felt his hands start to sweat as he heard the whispers from the students as him and his friends walked by. "What the h*ll is up today?" Kenny whispers. Stan sighs before replying with, "Right? What dumb*ss rumor was spread around this time?" Kyle couldn't help but feel like this wasn't all three of them, that it was just him everyone was gossiping about. Suddenly Wendy walks up to Kyle. "I'm so sorry about this whole thing. Cartman is an assh*le, if you need to talk I'm here." She says, hugging Kyle, and then walking away. "What the f*ck was that?" Kenny asks. Kyle just shrugs dumbfounded. "Cartman did something again." He sighs. "Like always." Kenny giggles.

Kyle, Stan, and Kenny arrive at their lockers, and see the print outs of Kyle's diary on their locker doors. Stan and Kenny's lockers are next to eachother, and they grab the paper off the lockers and slowly look at eachother, reading small parts of the papers. "Oh sh*t." Stan says.

Stan and Kenny run to Kyle, and see him staring at the paper with a completely miserable look on his face. "Kyle...?" Stan says softly. Kyle throws his backpack into his locker before slamming it, and turning to look at Stan and Kenny. "You guys told me Cartman didn't see it!" "Well, We didn't know he'd take pictures of it." Stan shrugs. "You knew he read it and didn't even say anything?!" Kyle seethes. "Both of you? I thought you both knew better." Kyle throws the paper on the ground, stomps on it, and storms down the hallway, searching for Cartman.

Finally, Kyle sees the boy in the bathroom washing his hands. "Cartman!" Kyle screams. Cartman jumps and turns to Kyle. "I know it was you." Kyle says, slowly walking towards Cartman. "What?" He says, not hiding it very well. "I know you f*cking outed me to the whole school. You think that you could do this and not even have it cross my mind at all that it could've been you?! You really are stupid." Kyle's words spill out, anger rising just looking at Cartman. "You outed me. You outed me to the whole school." Kyle says, tears pricking his eyes. "Aw, don't cry, Kylie-" Cartman says before getting interrupted. Kyle grabs Cartman's shirt."DO NOT call me that, you assh*le! What is wrong with you?!" Kyle yells, letting Cartman's shirt go before leaving the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

Kyle runs down the halls, "I can't believe everyone betrayed me like this." He thinks over and over again and he runs to his locker to get his phone. He sees the stares of everyone, class still hasn't started yet. He grabs his phone out his bag, slams his locker, and runs to a corner where no one goes. "C'mon mom... please pick up!" He thinks. Finally the ringing stops and he hears his mom's voice on the other line. "Kyle? Aren't you at school? Is something wrong?" She asks. "Y-yeah there is, actually. Something really, really bad happened and I need you to pick me up." Kyle says shakily, between sobs. "Okay, Kyle. I'll be there in an hour, is that okay?" "Yeah, it's okay." He says. "Okay. Love you, bubbie." She says, hanging up the phone.

Kyle heads to his first class, which he (thankfully) doesn't have Cartman in. He doesn't even have Stan or Kenny in it, which, for the first time, he is kind of relieved about. He can't focus in class, completely embarrassed about all the secrets that have been revealed, him being trans and his big and quite unexplainable crush on Stan being the main two.
