Cold Colorado air stings my cheeks at the bus stop, fresh snow cracking under our collective weight. Birds chirp somewhere far too cheerfully for the mood hanging over us. Cartman, a mountain of indignation in a red jacket, is already in full meltdown, screaming that his mom’s rules are bullshit. Kyle fires back with a sneer, but I cut in, my voice flat—we’re all stuck in this same boat, no exceptions. Kenny’s grumble comes from deep within his orange hood, a muffled insult about us being immature. It’s a messy, tense snapshot of friendship stretched thin, all because of what happened after we couldn’t stop playing that one game.
