At 9:45, Stan's mother walked into his room with his sheets, folded into a nice pile. His once crisp, white, fitted sheet now held a dark yellow stain in the center. Stan stood up from the corner of his room, eyes bloodshot from crying so much.

"Here Stanly," Sharon said as she sat down Stan's laundry. "I'm not mad at you Stanly. I love you." She kissed Stan on the forehead.

"Thanks, mom," Stan replied, looking at his feet. Not being able to look his mother in his eyes.

"Hurry up and put that sheet on your bed." Sharon demanded, "Your friend Kyle is on his way, remember?"

"Oh yeah, Kyle. I'll do it now Mom." Stan said as Sharon walked out of the room and closed the door.

Stan unfolded the sheet and put it on his now yellow mattress, the bright yellow stain was right in the middle of his bed. Stan sighed and hurriedly put on his comforter to hide the stain. Hopefully, Kyle won't move his blanket too much. Stan grabbed a bottle of Fabreez and sprayed it all around his room so It wouldn't smell like urine, and just as he finished doing that Kyle walked into his room.

"Hi, Stan," Kyle said as he dropped his bag and took off his coat. "What's up?"

"Hey, Kyle!" Stanly said rather fast, "Nothing much. Just," Stan looked around fast before finishing his sentence. "Just hanging out. That's all."

Kyle looked confused but responded anyway. "Okay, well.." he started as he sat on Stans's bed. "What do you want to do now?"

Stan flinched slightly as Kyle launched onto his bed, but he tried to be discreet. "I don't know. We can do whatever you want." Stan replied, now sitting on his large blue bean bag.

"We could play video games?" Kyle suggested. "I brought over Minecraft."

Stan picked his head up and smiled. Even when Kyle didn't even know he was upset, he always made him feel better.

"God Kyle. That sounds amazing." Stan smiled at his friend and enthusiastically said, "I'll be right back, I'll get snacks!" Stan ran out his door, leaving Kyle on his bed.

Kyle stood up just as Stan walked out. As he stood, he kicked stan's top blanket off the bed halfway. Kyle turned around to look at what he'd knocked over, he saw a dark, yellow stain in the middle of the sheet. Kyle stared at it for a moment before he threw the blanket back on, deciding to pretend he hadn't seen it. Just as the blanket was set back in place, Stan walked in with a bag of chips, and two cans of soda.

"Okay Kyle! Ready to game!?" Stanly asked excitedly.

"Yea, definitely! Let's play!" Kyle replied with the same amount of enthusiasm, basically forgetting what he'd just seen, and excited to play with his friend.
