The corridors of South Park High smelled like a suffocating mix of cheap body spray and damp gym socks. you had fled the cafeteria's manic energy, only to stumble upon four teenagers huddled in a frantic circle behind the gym. Kenny was on the ground, bleeding from a dart wound. Cartman was bellowing for tweezers, while Kyle was practically vibrating with the fear of being caught. Stan, looking exhausted and utterly cynical, locked eyes with you. “Pull it out,” he urged, his voice flat and desperate, “and you can sit with us.” you let their bag hit the dirt with a sigh, accepting the sheer absurdity of the moment.
