TW- mentions of minor stalking, outing, and homophobia

November 30th
Craig POV

"Craig!" my sister yells from her room. i choose to ignore her, per usual, 'cause she mostly just wants to tease me about tweek. being the insufferable little genius that she is, Tricia found out that me and tweek are not really dating (although i might have let something slip about that) and she also figured out that i'm "hopelessly in love" with him, to put it in
her words.

"Craig, get your ass in here!!!!" she screams again. soon enough, my mom will come up and tell me to "go be a good big brother and play with your sister". so, i reluctantly put down the book I was reading and trudge out of my room and into hers.

she's sitting on the floor with karen mccormick, random makeup pallets, nail polish bottles, and face masks strewn around them.

"c'mon," she waves me down. "it's sleepover time,"

whenever karen sleeps over, tricia always makes me hang out with them. we do face masks and paint each other's nails and gossip a bit. it's kinda fun.

"so," karen smiles at me. "what's up with those coonstagram posts?" she grabs a bottle of nail polish, green, and waves it towards me, silently asking to let her paint my nails. i stretch my hand towards her and she unscrews the cap and begins to paint.

"i dunno," i respond to karen's question. "i really only found out about them this morning from tolkien."

"karen," tricia asks, looking through her boxes for hair ties. "are kenny and butters dating?"

"what?!" i exclaim. karen looks up and shrugs.

"i mean," she says. "they obviously like each other, but i don't think they're dating,"

"well then why did they kiss?" tricia asks again, hair ties success found.

"they what?!?" me and karen ask in unison. she nearly drops the nail polish brush, but catches herself before it lands on the carpet.

"oh, did you not see?" tricia looks up. she pulls out her phone, taps at it for a second, then flips her screen to us, revealing a post of butters and kenny kissing.

"oh my god, finally!" karen exclaims, then pauses. "they posted this? who took it?"

tricia puts her phone down on the carpet. "red posted it," she shrugged.

"dude, what?? that's messed up," i say. i'll text my dumbass cousin once my nails are dry. karen's done painting them and i can admire her handiwork. she's gotten good.

"you like the colour? it looks like tweek's shirt,"karen says, giggling. ugh, every time i hang out with them, they don't shut up about tweek. it's so annoying. am i allowed to have a crush in peace?

"you guys need to shut it about tweek," i tell them, trying to sound threatening.

tricia just laughs. "'s not my fault your head over heels for the blond."

"it is your fault that you won't stop talking about him."

she rolls her eyes. my phone dings. "it's probably your boyfriend, craig. you better answer it," ruby teases. i flip her off and pull out my phone.
