Kyle walked beside his friends into the high school building, his expression tired after waking up so early. Cartman going on about something stupid as usual, which Kyle didn’t have the energy to fight with him about it. It was early, and he had to get to his locker quickly before passing period finished.

“I’ll meet you guys in class.” Kyle mumbled as he split up with his friends Cartman, Kenny, and Stan to head to his locker.

He stopped in front of the small, blue locker. His fingers working to put in his code into the lock, but he paused as he heard heavy breaths beside him. Turning his head, he looked over to the girl next to him. Her head was down, frantically trying to get open her lock… which she was failing at.

“Hey, you alright? I don’t think you’re using that lock properly.” Kyle asked quietly, raising an eyebrow and tilting his head to the side a bit.
