fourteen (south park fanfiction)

Back From the Past

"Eric?"

Butters knocked on Cartman's door, peeking in.

"Butters, I told you not to fucking open my room door unless I let you in!" Cartman says, laying in his bed with the lights off.

"Sorry...Why is it so dark in here? School starts soon."

Cartman sighs, rolling his eyes, as he turns his head over. "Because I want my lights off?"

"Well...you should come out more. Clyde might end up being your brother soon if things with your mom and his dad go right so-"

"Shut the fuck up!" Cartman screams, getting up. "My mom's already taken you in and is in the process of adopting you, so you're already gonna be one to me, isn't that enough?" Cartman shouts. "Jesus, I thought it'd be just you, I was okay with that, but Clyde too now?"

Butters frowns. "Uh, sorry?" He answers, confused. "Are you okay? Like genuinely? You have me worried."

"It isn't your business." Cartman says. "Leave me alone."

"Well, Eric, I don't want you getting hurt so there's something I need to tell you...You know Scott Tenorman?"

Cartman's eyes widened at that name, and he sat up from his bed. "Scott Tenorman? As in my HALF-BROTHER Scott Tenorman? Why the fuck are you asking?!"

Butters frowns. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you! I just thought you should know...he goes to school with us..."

"What? Isn't he like, 19 now?" Cartman asks. Butters nodded. "Uh, yeah...He's been held back though twice. He's a senior. Well...He kinda knows you go to school with him and that you're a freshman, and he's pissed."

Cartman's eyes widen. "Are you fucking serious?" He asks, terrified. "I can't fucking face him! He's an adult! What does he want?"

Butters sat on Eric's bed, frowning. "Well, I don't know. But I just wanted you to know before we head out."

Cartman sighs. "Fuck. I'd skip but I don't feel like getting detention. Let's just get the day over with." He says, as he gets up, grabbing his backpack, heading down the stairs.

"You don't take the bus, Clyde?" Butters asked Clyde, as he replied, "Uh, no. My dad drives me because I don't feel like walking."

"And they call me the fat ass." Cartman says. "Meanwhile my mom won't drive me anymore because she's fucking her new man." He says, as him and Butters walk out to the bus stop where Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are.

"Jeez, you look like shit, Cartman." Kenny says, as Cartman sighs. "Not having a good morning, Kenny, shut up."

...

Cartman dreaded school that day, panicked and worried. Of course, he wouldn't show it, he couldn't let the school know he was scared.

"Hey, Eric!" Butters says, seeing Cartman getting his notebook from his locker. Cartman sighed, saying, "Hi." in a monotone voice. "Jeez, I'm exhausted. I can't wait to go home." He says, when he suddenly feels a grab on his hoodie and he gets shoved into a locker.

"Eric Cartman." A voice says, as he looks up and sees Scott Tenorman, holding him, gripping his neck.

"Oh, well i-if it isn't my lovely brother!" Cartman said, terrified, as he feels everybody in the hallway staring at him.

"Hey, bullying isn't cool!"Butters shouts as Scott, scoffs. "It is when your asshole little friends sets up my parents to be murdered!"

Cartman laughs nervously. "Well, I was a kid at the time and everybody makes mistakes..." He says, sweating.
