Part 16

(AYOOOOOO, I reached a new high score of guilt!!! Lol.👍 So many missed days of posting parts ;-; ) -Moki

Alright, It's Thursday, that means two more days until the party. I guess until then I'll just hang out with him as much as possible.

"CRAIG!" My mom screamed from downstairs. I snapped out of my thoughts. "WHAT?" "BREAKFAST!" I sigh, pulling myself out of bed. I tumble down the stairs and into the kitchen. Just behind me, Tricia appears and sits down at the table. "Craig sweetie, could you take out the trash?" "No, I gotta pick up my friend." I said, flipping her off. I promised Tweek I would start picking him up in the mornings. And ofcourse he freaked out at first, but he accepted. "Oh? Who are you picking up Craig? Don't pick up Clyde again, he messed up the ceiling in your car, remember?" "I'm not ever letting him in my car again. I'm picking up my friend Tweek instead."
"Is he new? I haven't heard 'Tweek' mentioned by you before." I sit down next to Tricia, picking up my fork. "Yeah, he moved here not too long ago." I stuff the food into my mouth. "But I gotta go or else I'll be late."

"Ok sweetie, don't forget your hat! It's hanging by the door." I lift my hand up towards the rack, pulling my blue chullo hat off of the hook. Pulling on my hat, pushing on my gloves, shoes, and I'm off to my car. I reach for my back pocket, pulling out my car keys. "If I ask Tweek to hang out, should I take him out somewhere or just my place?" I shrug it off. 'I should tell him I'm coming over.' I thought, pulling out my phone.

Craig
Hey Tweekers, omw over

Tweek
Alright

I smile and shift into the driver's seat. After school, I'll ask him. Perfect.

*~Tweek's POV~*

I woke up, the sun flashing in my eyes as usual. But it felt different. It felt happier. I felt happier. A change for once felt nice, I was happy after last night. Me and Craig stayed up until 5 watching movies and having some genuine fun. Not that we weren't before, but it was more- meaningful. I brush my blonde hair out of my face, revealing my soft, green eyes. It was a Thursday morning, small sounds traveled throughout my house. Sunlight shines on my face as I slowly slide off my bed. I hit my feet on the floor and began to get dressed. A dark gray t-shirt, normal blue jeans, white socks, black high tops, and my usual light green jacket. Looking in the mirror, I didn't mind my eye bags as much as I used to. In fact, I thought I looked kinda good, but a buzz snapped me out of my thoughts. I look over at the root of the sound, my phone screen flashes on due to a notification. I wander to the other side of my tidy room- besides the overflowing trash can filled with coffee cups- and sit down on the edge of my bed. When I pry my fingers onto the phone, I see it's Craig. 'He must be coming to pick me up again.' Unlocking the phone, I was right.

Reading the short message, I smile. A simple 'alright' will do.

*~Time Skip~*

Craig knocks on my door, and of course, I answer cheerfully. The gold door knob shifted in my grip and standing in front of me was Craig. But he seemed to be smiling. I knew I was happy but- Craig from the past few days of experience and rumors was not the type to smile. So why was he smiling? I shook off the thought for now, if I want to, I'll ask him later. "Hey Craig." I said, settling with the cold rushing inside. "Hey Tweek, you ready to go?" "Yeah." I answer, we both step into the snow, making our way towards Craig's car. Just before I can move my hand to open the door, I feel something tighten on my wrist. I turn around, looking into those navy blue eyes again. 'U-uhm, Craig? Is somethi- ngh! -ng wrong?' I ask, stuttering ofcourse.

"Hey Tweek, after school, do you wanna go out?" I relax, kinda. My eyes opened wider 'Ok, so.. Before I freak out, let's pull myself together to think about just one thing. Don't panic Tweek.' I panicked a bit. It wasn't enough that you could visibly tell I was freaking out, but it was still a moment of distress. 'The guy I like just asked to go out with me! Wait- as a date or? Am I misunderstanding things? OH GOD! I'M GONNA MESS IT ALL UP! Ok Tweek! Just say yes, that would be the nice thing to do! And for you to get closer to him I guess, TOO MUCH PRESSURE! GAH!' My eye twitched, Craig still stood in front of me, looking a bit nervous. "Ngh! S-sure." Craig's shoulders fell down. "Ok, we should probably get to school." I relaxed as well, still feeling awkward.

I looked over to the truck and proceeded to get in, Craig did the same.

*~Time Skip~* (Couldn't think of anything here ;-;) -Moki

Craig's POV...

The whole car ride was silent, besides the constant whirring in my brain. My thoughts flickered on and off like a light. 'Did I make a mistake asking him? No, definitely not. I'm sure he's just quiet for some other reason. It's fine,' Of course I was still feeling unsure about whether I just ruined something between us, but things like these work themselves out over time. Right? I would just have to hope so, or make up some small talk in the truck. That wouldn't be such a bad idea actually, I just don't want to embarrass myself more than I already have. I don't even know if I was being embarrassing, or at least embarrassing Tweek. And when did I start to think so much about this stuff, about how he sees me? I remember just earlier this week I was giving no fucks to anyone. Well I should focus on other things right now, like figuring out how small talk works.

"Hey Tweek, are you ok?" I asked, hearing the tension in my voice.

"Ngh-Huh? Oh, Yeah! Sorry, was I grabbing my hair or twitching?" He asked, seeming a bit flushed. "No, it was just quiet."

". . ."

"Hey-" I looked over, relieved that someone was willing to talk. "Do you wanna skip class? Just- hangout at my house?" I sat there kinda surprised for a second. Tweek didn't seem like the type to do anything that would break rules. Especially when the higher authority was school or parents. But being able to spend time with Tweek, something like that would obviously spark my interest. "Sure." I slowed the truck into a place where I could make a U turn. The snow sliding against the tires. This day was going surprisingly well. First, he agrees to go out with me. Second, he wants to skip school just the two of us. Third, I get out of school. I don't see how it could get any better than this.

(Sorry for the bits that my writing has downfallen, I get unmotivated sometimes and so I forget my ability to be incredibly descriptive and literate. So hopefully your opinion has changed since- chapter 13 maybe? Well, if it has, enjoy Part 17!!!) -Moki
