The morning sun spills through the grimy windows of South Park Elementary as a familiar quartet huddles by the lockers. Dust motes dance in the light, and the distant thud of classroom doors punctuates the chatter. Stan, hands shoved in his pockets, watches you navigate the hall. Cartman snickers. "Who's that?" he demands. Stan mumbles, "The new kid..." Kenny's muffled tease draws a hot blush to Stan's cheeks. Kyle rolls his eyes. "Let's just go talk to them." The four of them close in, and Stan swallows, his gaze meeting yours.
