Craig's pov

"TWEEK LET'S GO!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs, we're about to get my sister from her school,
"COMMINGGG" I look up from my phone and see the blonde dressed in blue baggy-ish jeans and green shirt with messed up buttons, the same outfit I met him in... "Do you want me to fix your buttons?"
"Nope! It's my style, stop hating Craig"

"I'm not hating!"

"Surrreee" We walked out the door making fun of each other, his laugh is so funny and his smile is adorable..AGH AGAIN? WHAT IS UP WITH MY HEAD CALLING THAT SPAZ ADORABLE ERRHGFTHHh

After a 20'30-ish minute walk we reached the school and I see Tricia running up to me
"There you are! I thought you got ran over by big ass truck and died"

"Dude I'm only like 5 minutes late plus you asked if we could walk"

"True that" Tricia hands me her bag then she hugs Tweek, at first he looked shocked by her embrace but he quickly hugged her back. They get along so well..
"CRAIGYY!!" I turn my head see my two best friends Clyde Donvan and Tolkien Black
"Hey Craig"

"What's up guys?"

"nothing" Clyde whined out, then I realized Tweek and Tolkien haven't met
"Oh! Tolkien you haven't met Tweek" I pulled the imp away from my sister and pointed at him, he awkwardly smiled and waved at the unfamiliar face in-front of him
"Hi Tweek, I'm Tolkien"

Tweek's pov

Tricia was telling me the latest drama in her class then I felt a tug on my arm, pulling me away from the young girl and in-front of a unfamiliar person "Oh! Tolkien you haven't met Tweek" I awkwardly smile and wave at Craig's unknown friend
"Hi Tweek, I'm Tolkien"

"N-Nice to meet you" I saw he had his hand out so I put mine out and shook his hand, Craig has such nice friends

~~~~~~

We're walking back to the Tucker's house, Clyde and Tolkien decided to join our journey home since they live close by.
My thoughts kinda got a good hold of my paranoia because I kept thinking
'What if I'm not a good friend? Craig bounds so well with them but not me, we always bicker over small things. Craig has done so much for me and I haven't done jack-shit for him, I'm a bad friend, a horrible friend'
"Hey Tweek!" My negative thoughts disappeared when Tricia nudged at my arm

"Y-Ya?" I spoke out softly

"Wanna race?" She said happily as she grabbed my hand, tugging at it out of excitement

"Sure why not" I smiled at the young girl, she gave me a toothy grin then we were off.

Craig's pov

"Where's jimmy at?" I asked my friends curiously, breaking our current conversation

"Oh, his parents signed him up for a good comedy camp, I think they also went with him"

"Good for him" After I got my answer I looked in-front of me and saw Tricia and Tweek talking. Light blush soon appeared on my cheeks when I see his smile but that warm feeling soon disappeared when those two bolted off. I weakly look down at my feet. I guess my friends noticed my odd actions because Clyde spoke up

No pov

Clyde- "You good Craig?"

Craig- "Ya- *sigh* no.."

Tolkien- "What's up dude?

Clyde- "Ya what is up? You being bummed out is making me sad"

Craig- "Tweek.."

Clyde/Tolkien- "Tweek?"

Tolkien- "What do you mean Tweek?"

Craig- "I don't know, he makes me feel so weird like I hate him but I can't seem to be away from him"

Clyde- *GASP* "CRAIG YOU'RE IN LOVE!"

Craig- "W-What?! IM NOT! I-I'M NOT GAY LET ALONE GAY FOR THAT SPAZ!"

Tolkien- "Come on Craig you've never been interested in girls and you've been asked out a ass ton"

Craig- "That's because I've never found the right girl!"

Clyde- "COUGH you like guys COUGH COUGH"

Craig- "Shut it bitch"

Clyde- "I'm saying the truth, right Tolkien?"

Tolkien- "yeah"

Craig- "Are you serious Tolkien?!"

Tolkien- "I'm sorry dude but it's obvious you like guys, You dated one girl in your entire life and broke it off when she told you she wanted to do more"

Craig- "Okay, Okay, what if I'm gay how would I even get NOT TWEEK to like me?"

Clyde- "Flirting!"

Craig- "Flirting?"

Clyde- "Ya! Flirting! Like complement him"

Tolkien- "You don't have to go all out just say 'you look nice today' or 'you're pretty' "

Craig- "Okay.."

Craig's pov

I noticed I'm in-front of my house, wow talking to my friends really paces time
I turn towards my friends "Thanks for the advice"
"Of course Craigy!"

"We're here for you anytime" I said my goodbyes to Tolkien and Clyde. I walked inside to a sight of Tricia and Tweek watching T.V, I felt my cheeks burn up.. just a small flirt
Tell him 'you're nice looking' or 'you're not as spazzy as I thought you would be'
Just a small flirt..
One harmless compliment..
