idiots in love

~ 15 ~

Stan painfully eyed his two friends. "Well, well. Would you look at that?" Now seeing the plan unfold in front of him, he finally took into consideration how embarrassing the act was.

After listening to Tucker's confession, the two awkwardly hugged each other, holding their position until Kenny lost interest. But McCormick's eyes were intensely glued onto the boys. It was almost like he was waiting for the two to quit their act. Fortunately, the tall blonde focused his attention back to Marsh, leaving Stan relieved that he didn't actually see through them.

But Kenny didn't laugh or smile or repeatedly say, 'He confessed! And looked so stupid while doing it, too!' like Stan expected. Now, he felt nervous. "What's with that serious look? Is it because you know you have to confess to Butters now? I mean, Craig didn't say 'I'm gay because of you' like you swore he'd say."

"Yeah...he didn't say that..." Kenny trailed his words; his gaze continuing to look towards Craig and 'Tweek's' direction.

Stan's anxiety kept building up at his lack of reaction. What's up with him? Not even shocked. "H-hey Kenny, you-"

Loser by Beck suddenly played, interrupting Marsh. After 'so why don't you kill me',  Kenny picked up. Since Stan was right beside the blonde, he could hear the other side of the call. Cartman was heard on the other line. Hearing words like 'where', 'lunch', and 'lockers' made it clear that Eric wanted to meet up with Kenny right away. Stan thanked the fatass in his head, knowing that if he stayed any longer, then he'd know the person behind the hoodie wasn't Tweek. "Nice ringtone." Stan commented.

The tall blonde sighed then smiled, "Thanks." His phone was put back into his right pocket of his parka. "Cartman's whining like a girl right now and needs me. So I'm going to head out first; I'll see you at the cafeteria" before taking his leave.

Stan watched Kenny walk away with ease, as if he didn't care he has to confess to Butters now. It was almost as if....maybe...Kenny knew it was staged. But Marsh chuckled to himself, not wanting to worry about the negative. If McCormick really did see through their plan, he'd be laughing his ass off at how the three of them made a fool of themselves. But he didn't, so Stan wasn't going to focus on the 'what if's or 'maybe's. He waited until Kenny turned a corner to reveal himself to Craig and Jimmy and slap their backs to show their victory.

However, Craig wasn't all too enthusiastic like Stan. "Are you sure we did it? I'm pretty sure Kenny saw that it was actually Jimmy behind the hood."

"Nah, man! Kenny would've died on the floor laughing at us if that were the case."

Jimmy nodded his head at Marsh. "That is true."

"Sure, but don't you think that was too easy? And wouldn't that asshole have a loud reaction if he saw us? The dude just stood there with a blank stare." Craig pinched the bridge of his nose. "He definitely knew it was a lie. Jesus, I looked like a goddamn fool-"

Stan slapped Craig's back, which made the stoic boy flinch and stop talking. "Relax! It's Kenny we're talking about here! If he knew it was an act, he'd have pointed his finger at you and call you a 'dumbass' while giggling. But did he?"

Tucker didn't like his logic. "He didn't but-"

"Jimmy!" Stan cut him off again. "You hungry?"

The crippled boy nodded his head vigorously. "Starving, actually."

"Alright, my treat!" Stan said with a loud laugh as he strutted his way through empty halls, leaving Craig and Jimmy to follow behind.
