“Dude, are you like - upset with me? You seem off” Stan asks, but he already knows the answer.

“I just thought you guys were broken up for real now. I thought it was over” Kyle says, agitated voice.

“I mean, we’ve broken up before”

Kyle says nothing, sucks in and blows out smoke like his life depends on it. Stan feels annoyed that he’s smoking so quickly, but doesn’t comment on it.

“Are you gonna get back together? And how are you gonna make that work, since she’s going to literally the other side of the country for college. Are you gonna be long distance?” Kyle asks in the voice that he uses when he’s debating.

“Dude, Kyle, I haven’t thought about it that much. Why are you grilling me over this?” Stan argues back.

“Because like, you always do this! You’re always just - doing things without thinking them through! Don’t you think Wendy is going to get the impression that you might wanna get back together with her if you go to prom together?” Kyle exclaims, hands moving about wildly.

“I’m not like that - it’s just not that big of a deal. You’re making it a way bigger deal than it is”

“Or maybe you just don’t think! You just fucking do things without thinking of the consequences for other people!”

Kyle finishes his cigarette and crosses his arms, looking anywhere but at Stan.

“Why do you care so much?” Stan asks, wishing Kyle would just tell him honestly.

“Fucking forgive me for caring. I’ll shut the fuck up, I’ll just let you do whatever you want” Kyle snaps.
