fourteen (south park fanfiction)

Online Friends

Kyle couldn't believe what Stan had told him earlier that day. Did he really suck at being a friend to the point that CARTMAN was considered a better friend to Stan?

He thought about it a lot that night. While he didn't hate Stan, he just didn't want to be seen around him because of the influence Stan was.

Kyle hadn't talked to any of his past friend group. He was too focused on school and being seen by everybody for his achievements, that his only friends now were all the smart or popular type of kids.

He couldn't focus on studying that night. He was stressed and he knew Stan had put him in his place. He opened his phone to search up Stan's profile on Instagram, and saw a new post, which had Stan and Cartman with red party cups in their hands.

Kyle frowned and put his phone down, annoyed. He knew he regretted ditching everybody out of the blue, but just ignored it since he didn't want to admit it to himself.

...

Partying was something that was becoming normal in Stan's life. It wasn't hard to get into one, despite his reputation. His dad didn't care where he went, he had access to his truck, and as long as he brought alcohol, he was allowed in. Cartman, Kenny, and Butters didn't have shitty reputations (at least not as bad), so they went regardless.

Butters wasn't exactly the partying type, but Cartman would force him to go no matter what. He didn't like drinking either, so he usually just had a beer.

Cartman also started having parties become a normal thing in his life. He hated himself and his family currently, so it was something that would take his mind off of everything.

Cartman had came home late with Butters, who didn't handle the alcohol very well, and tried being quiet going in.

"Shit, we forgot Clyde." Cartman said, laughing. "He knows his way home." Butters replied, yawning, as he went to bed, feeling sick. Cartman went up to his room and opened his phone to check his socials. Recently, he signed up for a dating site since he was questioning his sexuality secretly and he wanted to explore. He opened the app and scrolled through, swiping.

"Why won't anybody talk to me?" He thought, confused. He thought he would be flooded with messages by now. He opened the bathroom inside his room and started taking a shower before going to bed, to freshen up from the party. When he came out, he changed into his pajamas and laid in bed on his phone when he saw a notification.

He opened it, somebody from the site had messaged him. He clicked the profile, but it looked suspicious to him, since there were no face pics at all. The only available thing were interests and a name: "Anonymous".

Cartman decided to take it upon himself to messaged the person who liked his profile.

Cartman: hi??

He looked at his phone waiting for a message back and finally received one.

Anonymous: Hey :) I recognize you from school.

Cartman: you go to school with me? whos this?

Anonymous: Sorry, I don't feel comfortable discussing that...It's hard finding other gay people, or at least same sex attracted people, that will like me for my personality :( So I'm not really outting myself until I'm comfortable.

Cartman: oh makes sense ig. well what do yk about me at least since u know me at school?

Anonymous: Well, I haven't exactly heard any good things about you 😭

Anonymous: Well, want to tell me about yourself first and then I'll tell you about me?

Cartman: sure ig. uh, well i'm 14, i like cats, video games, movies, and stuff.

Anonymous: Well, I'm 14 too. I like reading and nature, but video games as well. Haven't played one in a while 😅. Anyways, I've seen you around at school and have you lost some weight? You look a bit lighter.

Cartman: yeah i guess...i hate the work of it but it has to be done somehow.

Anonymous: Well, how have you been losing it?

Cartman: you can call it that.

Anonymous: So, you're friends with Kyle, Stan,  and Kenny, right?

Cartman: yeah, idk bout kyle tho. he kinda bailed and ditched us to be some little nerdy popular kid. stan and kenny are cool tho.

Anonymous: That's what sucks about high school. You lose a lot of people.

Cartman: that's right fs.

Anonymous: Chat later? I have a few things to do, see ya!

Cartman: sure, we can chat later :P bye 

Cartman put his phone up and went to bed.

...

"Stan! Come here!"

Stan rolled out of bed to hear his dad yelling his name, groaning, and went downstairs to see what he wanted. He looked to see stacks of money on the table.

"What's all this?" Stan asked, confused, as Randy chuckled. "Well, let's just say the farm has been skyrocketing lately. The amount I've made the past few months is more than I made for the entirety of last year!" Randy says, smirking. He handed Stan a few stacks. "Take some, Stan. I know that when being a teenager you want everything, so take some cash, but be wise with it, don't spend it in one go unless it's a good investment."

"Wait, seriously?" Stan asked,  smiling. "How much is this?"

Randy smiled. "Well, I gave you about 10k, but don't go flashing it around, Stan. Keep it hidden in your room and only keep a bit with you at a time. Don't go too crazy."

Stan smiled. "Thanks, Dad!" He said, happily, as Randy looked out the window. "I'll be back in a bit, we got some customers at the farm." He says, as he heads out back.

Stan looks until his dad leaves and puts a bit of the money in his pocket, heading out in his dad's truck outside, driving off.

...

Cartman was up in his room that morning, texting with the guy he met yesterday online. Even though he had no idea who the guy was, it felt nice to have somebody to talk to.

Anonymous: Any plans for today?

Cartman: well im going to a party later with some friends, it's gonna be at tolkien's place.

Anonymous: Oh, I heard about his party, that's cool. 

Cartman: are u gonna go?

Anonymous: Nah, I'm not the partying type. So, are you gay???

Cartman: that caught me off guard

Anonymous: Omg, sorry 😭...Just was curious.

Cartman: it's good lol. I think im bi.

Anonymous: Anybody you have a crush on? How about Butters, you too hang out a lot.

Cartman: I don't have any crushes currently and butters is a definite never, he feels like a brother to me and my mom adopted him so he technically is.

Anonymous: Would you maybe be interested in me one day?

Cartman: uh idk. im not sure who u are so I can't really say.

Anonymous: Well, are you into personalities?

Cartman: ofc. I guess its just a little off that I don't know exactly who u are yet and we just started talking.

Anonymous: I understand. Chat later?

Cartman: ofc, see ya :P
