Kenny's POV:
I decided the best choice would just be to show it to her. Reluctantly I pull out the bottle from behind my back and present it to her tilting my head toward the ground.
She stops... and stares blankly at the bottle. Then she steps forward, swipes it out of my hand, and puts it in her pocket.
Without another word, she storms off. The door slams behind her.
I'm frozen in place. What the hell just happened? I stare at the door after it was slammed with wide eyes.
After a short moment Bebe and Karen walk into the kitchen from the main area after overhearing the conversation between us. "What happened Kenny?" Bebe asked as she walked into the kitchen with Karen following behind her.
"I-I don't know..." I respond glancing at my now empty hand where the estrogen was, I just can't believe it... Marjorine is trans...? I let that information sink in for another moment.
"It sounded like you guys got in a bit of a fight..." Karen chimes in walking out from behind Bebe her bunny slippers making a sound against the tiles of the kitchen.
I'm still a bit thrown off... Should I tell them what I found out...? Marjorine is already pissed at me... if I told the others I can't imagine what she'd do! I should probably keep quiet.
"Kenny... can we talk?" Karen asks walking out from behind Bebe fidgeting her hands. This is a strange habit she picked up from mom, whenever she's nervous she does this. Well, at least that was the habit she picked up not the other ones.
I sigh, "Alright." I walk into the main area of the dorm behind Karen, this place isn't nearly big enough for Bebe to not hear us talking. I turn to Bebe, "Bebe cover your ears or something."
She chuckles playfully, "I was going out anyways, Wendy just invited me on a date," Bebe says looking at her phone as another text message comes through, the background is a picture of her and Wendy at some kind of fancy event. She pulls her blonde curly hair into a messy ponytail and walks over to the door.
"Alright, babes call me if you need anything!" She smiles warmly before exiting, now it's just me and my sister. I turn to Karen after Bebe exits, she's eyeing Marjorine's drawer for some reason... wait... that was the drawer Marjorine slammed a couple of days ago, the only one who knew why the hell she slammed it was Karen.
"What are you looking at Kare-Bear?" I ask her quietly not wanting to disturb her thought process I look between her and the drawer. She looks at me and at the dresser then back at me.
"Before I say anything..." Karen folds her arms over her chest defensively. "What did you find out...?"
"Why do you need to know?" I replied raising an eyebrow up.
"Because if it's the same thing I figured out, I have more information on it." She said looking off to the side.
Now I don't know what to do... what if she knows Marjorine is Trans too? Would she tell me? Probably, we tell each other everything, that was a promise we made as kids.
"If it were something that important you would've told me," I say mostly reassuring myself.
"If we're talking about the same thing, I wouldn't have told you." She responded defensively.
"We promised to tell each other everything. Remember Kare?"
"This is somebody else's secret I can't tell that to you." She said as if common knowledge.
"Why not?! A promise is a promise!"
"It was a dumb promise we made when we were kids."
"dumb promise...?"
(flashback time! Kenny is 15 here, Karen is 12)
I sprint out of the house after getting a beer bottle smashed on me. Whatever... I've gotta get going anyways, to pick up Karen from school I pull some of the larger pieces of glass out of my arm and drop them to the ground beneath me. Kevin has turned into a copy of dad... I thought me and Karen would be safer living with him then with mom and dad but I think at this point it would be wiser to go back.
I sigh as I walk up to an old run down building this stupid country calls a school. AKA South park elementary, my old school and Karen's current one. I lean on a tree, blood is still running down my arm from where the bottle was smashed, I glance behind me at the tree, this is where me and Butter's carved our initials when we we're 9.
'B + K' is written within a small heart on the tree's bark. I run my finger over the engraved letters, I miss him so much...
"Kenny!" A high-pitched voices calls out to me excited, I turn towards her with a warm smile.
"Heya Kare-bear! How was school?" I open my arms for her to hug me.
She runs into my arms and we hug, "good! How was it for you?" she starts rambling about her day. Then I immediately notice something off, my smile drops.
"Karen... why do you have a black eye?" I ask extending my hand and brushing the hair out of her face and behind her ear to get a better look at her eye, she swats my hand away.
"Kare-"
"It's fine!" She interrupts defensively.
I sigh, "It's clearly not fine..."
She tilts her head towards the ground. "Tricia was bullying me for being poor... again."
"Again? This has happened before?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you..." She said in a small apologetic voice.
"It's okay." I take a breath and kneel down.
"All we have is each other in this world okay? You have to trust me Kare..."
"I do trust you! I was just scared..."
"Promise me we won't keep things from each other anymore?" I say.
"Pinky promise?" She asked extending her pinky towards me.
With a small chuckle I wrap my pinkie around hers.
(Back to present <3)
"R-right... just some stupid promise.."
"Y'know what nevermind. We can talk about this later." She turns away and leaves the dorm.
*Slam*
And once again I'm all alone in the dorm. I lean my back on the counter and stare at the celling overwhelmed by emotion.
*tick tock tick tock*
The only sound being the annoying chime of the clock, suddenly I feel tears running down my face... why am I crying?
The tears continue rolling down my face and I sink to the ground, I sit there and lean my back on the cabinets with my knees curled to my chest, with thoughts racing through my head. I pissed off Karen I should apologize... I'm all alone... Kevin is stuck at home with mom and dad still and it's my fault... but there was one thought that overwhelmed all the rest.
Marjorine is Trans.
