#2- New Kid

The bus ride seemed to go on forever with the same old trees passing by as he watched in disinterest . His mind was filled with questions, mostly about the new kid. Everyone on the bus greeted him as if he were always there, but he didn't know why. Was he always there and Tweek just didn't notice him ? Surely he would have, right ?

Oh jeez what if he's always been here and I just never saw him ?! What if he's just someone I couldn't see until now ?! What if he was a ghost this entire time and someone just revived him ?!? What if-

His thoughts were interrupted when the view of his school came in. The vehicle came to a halt making Tweek  immediately grab Butters hand and sprint out the door. The baffled boy started asking questions , but Tweek ignored it and continued making his way into the school building.

They didn't make it too far as Butters stopped and placed his hands on both of Tweeks shoulders . " Tweek ! What's the matter buddy ? Is it that kid again ? " Tweek looked down at the mention of " the kid ", staring at his feet and fiddling with his buttons .

" Hmm . What if you talked to him ! Once you get to know him you'll probably realize he's not as bad as you make him out to be ! " Butters suggested

"Hnnn I don't know Butters ... what if he's lying and gains my trust and then kidnaps me and sends me to michigan or or he throws me in starks pond leaving me for the ducks oh gosh oh jeez - "

Tweek was interrupted when a slightly taller male put his arm around him . " Heeeey Tweekers what's wrong ? '' Kenny asked .

Tweek looked up and felt his face get warmer due to the sudden touch .

" It's that kid over there . the one wearin all blue . Tweek and I saw him at the bus stop , but didn't really pull a good impression " Butters answered, rubbing the back of his neck.

Kenny looked to Tweek again who was still messing with his buttons . " There There ! You'll be fine ! He's not gonna hurt you ! He's not like that . " Kenny smiled while patting tweeks head

Tweek smiled , grateful how much his friends cared for him . Most of the times people would tell him to stop overreacting or to shut up and get over it . It was nice to know people cared "Yeah ! Yeah you're right ! " Tweek replied confidently

Kenny chuckled and ruffled Tweeks hair . "Welp I'm gonna get going see you two later ! "
he waved , winking at them as he turned his heel and ran towards his group .

The duo made their way to their lockers talking until they had to part ways. Tweek made his way to his first period class and sat at his usual spot .

Teenagers filled the room talking loudly about who knows what . Tweek sat at his desk silently , doodling on a piece of paper that he found . Mr. Garrison finally entered the room with a familiar boy .

' oh crap . its the blue boy, just my luck '

Tweek gulped, but remembered what his friends said and regained his composure . "Alright class shut up , we have a new student today , his names Craig Tucker , recently moved here from uhh "

" Peru '' Craig answered nonchalantly " - from Peru . Everyone make sure he gets along with all of you , dont want anymore trouble from you stupid kids . okay Craig, take a seat wherevers empty and then we'll begin . "

Craigs eyes wandered the class , examining the kids quickly . His eyes fell onto the familiar blonde boy from the bus stop . He stared at him for a bit , making Tweek even more nervous and causing him to mumble . "Don't I need to be shown around ? "

" Oh crap I forgot um , who would like to volunteer and show Craig around the school " Mr Garrison asked . A few of the other kids' hands shot up , including Tweek's . Tweek didn't even realize his hand was up until Mr. Garrison said his name .

" Okay Tweek, show Craig around so I can-" before he could finish, Tweek interrupted him by yelling " ME ?! "

Mr Garrison pinched the bridge of his nose "Yes you Tweek , as I was saying show him
around so I can get started with class . You get a free day today so don't waste it ."

I raised my hand ?!?! hnnn shit... okay okay calm down calm down . I can do this,,

Tweek lowered his now raised hand and took a deep breath . He went out the door hoping Craig would follow him without him having to say anything .

The tour was quiet and while Craig was asking questions, Tweek was a nervous wreck . From time to time he'd mumble something under his breath and then pinch himself afterwards .

Craig tapped Tweeks shoulder, making him jump a bit . " Dude the whole pinching thing isn't gonna work , I don't know what you're doing , but your just gonna keep on leaving bruises " he said pointing at the now red marks on tweeks hands.

Tweek stood there dumbfounded, staring at everything else but Craig.

" Soo uh is that all ? We gonna head to class now or what . '' Craig asked realizing he wasn't get an answer any time soon

"Uh yeah ! Um if you need anything else let me know ? " Tweek responded with uncertainty while adding a nervous smile. Although he was anxious all the time , Tweek surprisingly liked to make friends , he was just really really bad at it .

Craig nodded and turned his heel making his way to his second period. Tweek exhaled, letting out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. He smiled at himself, glad it wasn't as awkward as he thought it would be.

The day went by until it was finally time for lunch . Tweek made it to his locker , seeing as Butters was waiting for him, he walked a little faster, grinning at the sight of his best friend.

" Butters nn ! Blue boy isn't so bad after all ! "
Tweek exclaimed. Butters seemed confused by the name, but then quickly realized who he was talking about.

" Well I told ya ! New kids just scary lookin but a big softy ! He seems familiar though... anyways let's go get lunch im starvin ! "

They made their way through the cafeteria and spotted Craig sitting next to Token and Clyde . It seemed like a reunion of some sort , with Clyde hugging the life out of Craig , and Token wrapping his arm around them .

Craig would threaten the boys , but they knew he was joking ... partially . they sat down and started to converse happily . With Token and Clyde ( mostly Clyde ) talking as Craig listened with a slight smile on his face.

Tweek was going to sit at his usual spot, but his legs had a mind of his own , heading straight towards Craig and his friends table . Butters followed behind , not really knowing why Tweek was trying to sit there , but didn't mind as Kenny's table was nearby.

" Mind if we sit here ? " Butters asked with a small smile " Nwot at all ! The Mwore the mwerrier ! " Clyde responded with a thumbs up and a mouth full of food , most likely tacos .

Tweek hadn't realized that he was sitting with them until Butters poked him at the side .

He got out of his trance and noticed the gray eyed boy staring at him . His eyes seemed a bit dull, sad even .

Tweek swore he saw Craigs eyes flash a strong shade of olive green , but only for a second .

huh .. must have been all the coffee. what do mom and dad put in this ..
