The Bet

Day 28, Part 2

"I'm in the middle of class."

Craig kind of felt bad for that, "oh, I'm sorry."

There was a long pause and then Tweek said, "are you okay?"

"Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?" Craig said trying his best to sound like he hadn't had an emotional break down recently.

Tweek huffed, "don't lie to me."

Craig smiled, "what makes you say I'm lying."

"You apologized and then sounded like you were about to cry."

Craig was offended, "Can I not apologize."

Tweek hummed in thought, "no, but you don't do it. Especially not sincerely."

Craig was getting frustrated, "I apologized to you the other day!"

"You didn't sound like you meant it," Craig could tell that Tweek was upset but he didn't know how to respond.

There was a pause before Craig finally got the nerve to talk, "yeah, I sort of had a revelation while talking to Token. I'm not going to become an emotional mess but I do want to express how I'm feeling more."

Craig could practically hear the smile in Tweek's voice as he said,"good." Tweek hesitated before continuing, "are you going to be at the party later?"

"Yeah, yeah I am." Craig continued, "Will I be seeing you there?"

Tweek giggled, "maybe, we'll see how the day goes."

Craig just stood there smiling like an idiot. It's been a while since he heard Tweek giggle so happily. He didn't realize how much he missed it before then. Then Tweek continued, "I have to go back to class. There's only so long that I can pretend to be peeing for."

"Okay, well see you later." Then Tweek hung up. Craig was almost disappointed in himself with how giddy he felt. He couldn't help it though, he never felt the way he felt about Tweek with anyone else.

Now that Craig was in an even greater mood he didn't know what else to do. All he had to do was wait a couple more hours for this party. Craig decided to just watch videos of John Mulaney until then. It seemed like the best thing to do with his spare time.

In what seemed like no time at all he received the text from Kenny saying the party was starting. Craig smiled as he got ready before quickly leaving for Kenny's.

There was a lot of things that Craig could have been thinking about, and even more things he should be thinking about but he refused to. Craig didn't want his good mood to be ruined so he tried to keep his mind blank as he made the walk.

Eventually, he arrived at Kenny's doorstep and without knocking he opened the door and immersed himself in the party. Craig immediately headed to the drinks, it's been a while since he got drunk.

That was when he bumped into Kenny himself. While Craig didn't particularly want to chit-chat with him right now Kenny had other days. On the plus side, Kenny handed him a drink as he started talking, "did you realize what day it is?"

"The twenty-eighth?"

Kenny rolled his eyes, "it's the end of the month. The bet is technically over today."
