Piano Rescue - Creek

3~New Year, New Friends, New Me

It was now the second day of school. After Tweek and Craig spent the day together in the summer, they started to acknowledge each other in the halls. Saying 'hey', waving, etc.

Tweek had 2 classes with Craig, art and physical education. The thing about PE is that Tweek had it with all of his old friends from elementary and middle school. Craig, Tolkien, Clyde, Cartman, Stan, Kenny, Kyle and Butters. He found it very coincidental.

He had art on Thursday and PE on Tuesday and Thursday. Currently, it was art.

'Alright, hello students and welcome to the wonderful world of art! I hope that by the end of the year, all of you will be able to improve your drawing, painting, and sketching abilities. Today, everyone draws their favorite item. It could be an animal, food, person, place, or anything appropriate. In the last 10 minutes of class, I hope that everyone will be able to present their piece and tell us why it's their favorite, let's get to work now!' Said the teacher, smiling.

Tweek took a piece of paper, his sketching kit, and some watercolors out of his bag and started sketching. He decided to draw a blue rose. He started to sketch the flower. The flower was placed on a window sill of a castle/dungeon-like barred window which bars were bent out.

After a lot of mess-ups, he got the perfect shape and shading. He took out his watercolors and first took out dull colors to color the rocky, rustic background. The flower was the only thing that stood out. It was gorgeous. The first thing that caught your eye when you looked at it was the rose. Of course, there were a lot of mess-ups, but that is to be expected from a twitchy, paranoid kid.

'Alright class, we have 10 minutes left, everyone signs your canvas and we'll start from the top.' The teacher smiled, looking at the attendance list which was not in alphabetical order.

'Alright, Anne Frank, come on up.' The teacher smiled while a girl with fluffy, golden blond hair stood up. She had black skinny jeans as well as a brown sweater, she took her painting and went to the front.

'Uhm, so, this is my favorite meal, Ikea meatballs with mashed potatoes, peas, and that weird sauce.' She said, holding the canvas. The meatballs, mashed potatoes, peas, and sauce were drawn in a certain way to look like something else.

'Ehm, alright, next we'll have....'

'Okay, so, now we'll have Craig Tucker.' Said the teacher, causing some of the girls to turn around, look at each other, and start to giggle silently as Craig walked to the front of the classroom, holding his canvas.

'So, this is my favorite person in the whole wide world who I love with all my heart.' Said Craig as the girls started to giggle and look at each other, expecting one of their names to be called out.

'Stripe. My guinea pig.' Craig smiled widely, showing his painting, causing some of the boys to chuckle including Tweek, and for Anne Frank to roar with laughter, pointing her finger at the girls.

'MRS. FRANK STOP POINTING FINGERS THIS INSTANT!' The teacher yelled, but Anne didn't calm down.

'Thank you, Craig, you may go sit, next is, Tweek Tweak.' She said, her voice raising slightly at Tweek's name. Probably because last year he won 2nd place in a county art competition.

Tweak stood up, taking the canvas with him.

'So, uhm, I drew my favorite flower,-' 'Gay!' Eric Cartman interrupted.

'MR. CARTMAN SHUT YOUR FLY-TRAP THIS INSTANT!' The teacher screeched. 'You may continue.' She smiled at Tweek.

'So, as I was saying, I drew a blue rose.' Said Tweek, showing the canvas.

'Good job, Tweek.' Said Butters Stotch, raising his hand in the air to give the paranoid blonde a thumbs up.

'-on being gay.' Cartman added, making everyone chuckle.

'ERIC CARTMAN IF YOU OPEN YOUR PIE WHOLE ONE MORE TIME I'M SENDING YOU TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE!' The teacher screamed.

'Well, that's just lovely Tweek! You may sit.' She said.

Not long after the bell rang, signifying that lunch was starting.

Tweek went to his locker and took out some store-bought sushi he bought at Whole Foods.

He walked outside since his school allowed kids to eat lunch there and sat under a tree, taking his water bottle and opening his sushi. After a couple of minutes, he heard footsteps coming towards him. He anxiously snapped his head up to see a girl walking towards him.

She looked to be about 5'7, around the same height as Tweek, and the same age. She had a loose green sweater with a white mushroom print on the front. It draped over her shoulder, showing off a white strap. She also wore some wide legs, black jeans, and an emo belt with chains. Her wavy, chocolate-brown hair rested on her shoulders while her curtain bangs shaped her fair face.

'Excuse me, can I sit here?' She asked, leaning over.

'Yeah, sure.' Agreed Tweek. 'I'm Alyssa, you?' She questioned. 'Oh, my name is Tweek. He smiled. 'Oh! Are you the kid who has all the music diplomas in the principal's office?' She questioned. Tweek was almost too stunned to speak. No one ever recognized him, this was odd, like, REALLY odd.

'Uhm, y-yeah!' He smiled up at her, she returned the gesture. 'Did you enter this year's competition?' She questioned, looking at him. 'Yeah, I did! I didn't make any mistakes and my teacher said that my dynamics and rhythm were far better than anyone else! She said I have a high chance to go to New York.' He smiled at her.

'WOW! Well, that's great! I was always surprised how when the popular boys win 1 game per semester, everyone congratulates them for weeks, and you, representing the state, goes unnoticed.' She said, taking a bite out of her chicken salad.

'Yeah, w-well, I'm k-kinda used to it now.' Tweek smiled, and she frowned. 'You shouldn't. The amount of ignorance that is at this school towards music is disappointing.' She said, taking a sip of her tea.

'I'm a bit *GAH* shocked that you know so much about music competitions.' Said Tweek. 'I don't, I was just bored in Victoria's office.'

Tweek and Alyssa talked for a while, mostly about music, and later about their past friendships. Tweek told her about him and the gang, and she told him about her ex-friends, Wendy, Bebe, Heidi, Nelly, and some girl named Maya. They used to be close as freshmen but have drifted apart.

Wendy was focused mainly on her academics and would go to couples therapy with Stan and or hang out with him.

Bebe was always either with Clyde, shopping, or doing something for her followers. She would post makeup tutorials as well as dances, modeling, and outfit ideas.

Heidi was also focusing on her academics with Kyle. The 2 were inseparable. They got close in freshman and continued to get closer, they fought once. They've been together for 3, 5 years!

Nelly moved with her family to New York in 10th grade and found different friends there. She and the girls talked maybe once for 3 months.

Maya wasn't the best person. Alyssa said she was very self-centered, two-faced, and kind of a slut. She also had a very boring personality and style. Maya and Alyssa were together for a month in 10th grade. Alyssa dumped her when she caught Maya cheating on her with some dude. This doesn't mean that they stopped talking.

You see, Alyssa runs kind of her own small business. She grows herbs, flowers, and different plants which she turns into products. Often, girls of different ages come to her house where she gives them, pedicures, does their makeup, or some hair or skin treatment. She also sells her own products.

Soon enough, lunch ended and they headed off to their classes.
