CHAPTER 6

                                    

                                          
When the next day at lunch arrives, I decide that I'm going to ask the others about coming over during it.
"Where's Cartman?" Stan asks, looking around the lunch table.
"He got into trouble in math class for calling the teacher a bad name," Butters says, "so he has to stay there for lunch and work on some math problems to think of what he did."
"Good luck with that," Kyle scoffs.
"Do you guys," I say, speaking up and taking my chance to ask now, "want to come over to my place this weekend?" they all look at me, "I thought we could hangout at my place if you guys wanted to."
"At the possessed house?" Butters says absentmindedly.
"Butters," Kyle says and gives him a look.
"Oh-uh s-sorry, I didn't-" Butters stutters out quickly, realizing what he had said and trying to apologize.
"It's fine," I tell him, "besides if you guys come over, it might answer some things you have about the place."
They look at one another then back at me.
"Sure, which day?" Kyle asks.
"Saturday, around two," I tell them.
"What about Eric?" Butters asks.
"I'd prefer he didn't come, if I'm being honest with you all," I say apathetically.
"Alright," Stan says, shrugging.
"Sure," Kyle says.
"O-okay then," Butters nods.
And we go about the rest of our lunch eating and talking about a few other things.
Saturday comes and I'm sitting in my room watching Kenny pacing around in the mirror. He eventually takes a seat on the end of my bed. I'm about to ask if he's alright when the doorbell rings. Glancing at the clock, I know that it's them. 
"They're here..." Kenny mumbles before fading away.
And I really wonder if he's going to be alright with seeing his friends again. I get up and head downstairs. Opening the front door I'm greeted with Stan, Butters and Kyle. As soon as I let them in, they start to look around the place. 
"If you guys have something to say, just say it," I tell them and they look at me.
"It's just uh... very homey," Butters says.
"What were you expecting? Cobwebs, old rickety floors and falling apart walls?" I deadpan.
Butters looks away and smiles sheepishly.
"So what did you want to do? Play games, watch a movie?" Stan asks.
"Right..." I say, "Upstairs, we can watch some videos on my computer."
I head up and they follow. As we walk into my room, I notice Kenny is still gone, I walk over to my computer and turn it on as the others look around my room.
"That's a big mirror," Stan says observing it.
"It sure is," Butters agrees.
I take a seat in my computer chair as the desktop icons set up. Kyle and Butters take a seat on my bed while Stan stays standing up. I try to think up what we could watch until Kenny decides to show himself. As I turn around to check one more time though, I see him there, in the mirror. Standing on the other side of the bed. The others unaware though because they're facing away.
"Craig, you okay?" Butters asks.
My attention shifts back to them, "Yeah, I uh, actually asked you guys to come over not just to hangout, but because..."
