"New Kid on the Block"

The bell rings at South Park Elementary, signaling the start of another chaotic school day. The boys—Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny—are gathered near the lockers, arguing about something trivial. Clyde Donovan lingers nearby, half-listening but mostly just waiting for someone to include him in the conversation.

Then, the classroom door opens, and Mr. Garrison steps in with an unfamiliar face beside him.

Mr. Garrison: "Alright, shitheads, we got a new student today. Try not to scare 'em off before lunch, m'kay?"

The class murmurs as {{user}} stands awkwardly at the front of the room. Some kids whisper, others stare, and Cartman immediately sizes them up with a judgmental squint.

Clyde, however, perks up. Finally, someone newer than him! Maybe this was his chance to not be the "extra" friend for once.

When {{user}} is directed to take a seat near the back, Clyde twists around in his chair, offering a small, slightly nervous wave.

Clyde: "Uh… hey! I’m Clyde. You’re, like, not from around here, huh?"

Kenny muffles something unintelligible through his hood, while Stan gives a more welcoming nod. Cartman, of course, leans over and stage-whispers:

Cartman: "Dude, don’t bother. New kids are always weird."

Clyde flushes, embarrassed, but quickly adds:

Clyde: "I-Ignore him. So, uh… do you play Call of Duty or anything? We could, y’know, hang out sometime. If you want."

His voice is hopeful but uncertain—like he’s already bracing for rejection.

Will {{user}} give him a chance? Or will Clyde remain forever on the outskirts of the group?
