Unusual

Planning

It was normal for me to want someone. Just not the same way I wanted him. I was used to being protective, thanks in part to my younger sister Karen. Not protective enough to get jealous though. Until it came to him. Seeing him with her made my stomach do flips, and my hands clench angrily. I had to bang my head and remind myself each time I saw them that she was better for him. That bimbo who would still be better than me. I had slim to no chance. From what I knew he was straight. Leaving me to watch from afar. Wish I could hold him. Talk to him. Anything but sit here and watch as she got his full attention. Somewhere deep inside I kinda hope she'd cheat and leave him broken for me to fix. I knew though in my heart I wouldn't have been able to see such a thing happen. I cared about him. I wished more than that to see him happy. Even if it wasn't with me.

I was in the dark. Lying on my back against a hard, cold metal surface. Somewhere behind my head a voice rumbled through the emptiness. "You won't get anywhere close to your goal just laying around like that." The voice was deep, but it still sounded familiar. Quickly I pushed myself up frantically looking around. Than I saw it, a silhouette of black contrasting a sharp light that came from behind him. I knew who it was than. I opened my mouth to call out to him, but I couldn't find my voice. Staring from where I sat I watched him, his back was toward me. "You coming or not?" He inquired motioning with a hand for me to follow him. I scrambled to my feet slipping on the slick metal beneath me. Looking up he had somehow gotten farther away. His black shape now smaller. "Wait!" I found my voice I don't know if he heard me. If he did he didn't show it. "Isn't funny?" He turned to me. I still could make out his face, but now his voice sounded more to what I knew it as. "That this isn't real." he continued baffling me. Not real, well yeah he's  right but. I was jerked from my thoughts when I suddenly couldn't feel the icy floor under my feet. I watched as he got smaller falling deeper, everything getting darker.
        Groaning I pushed the weight of Karen of my chest before rolling over. "One more minute." I grumbled lamely swinging my arm in her general direction. "Ha! No, waking waking ken boi. Time for school." Karen spoke in a sing song voice. Ripping the covers from my grasp. I squinted my eyes open watching as she tossed my blanket aside and grinned down at me. "No more avoiding." the small brunet grabbed my arm and dragged me into the living room. Humming some annoying tune from one of her cartoons. Groaning I sat up where I had been dragged, rubbing my dry eyes. Karen shuffled to the kitchen throwing a pop-tart at me before rushing past, hurriedly saying "Getting a ride from Ike and his friends. See you later Bro." she waved closing the door and rushing to what I assumed was her ride outside. "Oh what a great wake up call." rolling my eyes I stood up and dusted myself off. "Might as well get to school. No point in skipping a Friday." I sighed inwardly sticking the cold pastry in my mouth and walking into the cold toward the hell hole that is our towns education system.
        By some miracle of Moses I wasn't late to the bus, but by some horrible grace of the gay asshole himself the whole gang was there. I waved a greeting and got two back, and one bird. Kyle just shook his head "Wow very mature Cartman." he deadpanned. Eric harrumphed in response not even sparing me a glance. "Who shoved a stick up his ass?"I asked getting a snicker from Stan "The real question is 'Who shoved the second one in?" The shorter red head rolled his eyes. "No he says he's mad  at Kenny for being such a little bitch yesterday, after you and I left during lunch Stan" Stan cocked an eyebrow. "He was being a bitch! I was at least trying to be sociable." Eric interjecked.  Sweet Jesus  Eric, I almost forgot how sensitive he was. "Would it help if I said I'm sorry?" I didn't think he would be satisfied with just an apology. I was right.  He turned to me with a glint I didn't like the look of. "I want you to get into Craig's group. Once you do that I will tell you what to do next." I stared at him. This was a weird request for him to make. I thought he was going to make me do something disgusting or embarrassing. This just sounded like he was planning something. "I don't think he can do it." Stan crossed his arms staring at me as if he was inspecting me. Kyle didn't agree "No, I think Kenny is the best choice for this." He paused seeing no one ready to interject.. He continued explaining "He already knows Craig and it's not like Craig exactly hates him like he does us. So I think he'd have an easy time convincing Craig, tweek and clyde at best. Though Token might be difficult." I could feel my body heat up as my group of friends inspected me.
