Opposites Attract ~ Creek

Chapter 18

I took off my apron. My shift was over. Craig should be coming soon. I fixed my hair a little bit.

Me and Craig have been alright. We finally presented our project. We got a good grade. He had to spin me and then pose with me in his arms. I feel my face get hot every time I think about it. The way he looked at me, I've never felt more butterflies in my stomach.

"You ready?" Craig said as he walked up to the counter.

"ACK" I jumped.

"Your face is red, are you okay?" (Craig)

"Yeah just hot in here" I said as I fanned my face with my hands.

"Not really" (Craig)

"Let's just go" I said as I walked out the employees only area.

We walked out the cafe and walked to the restaurant.

"What restaurant is it?"

"I don't, just some fancy one" (Craig)

"Fancy?! Im n-not dressed for that" I said as I looked down at my outfit.

He looked at my shirt and chuckled.

"It's not even buttoned up correctly" He chuckled.

"AGH" I said as I tried to fix it.

"Here" He said as we stopped walking.

He crouched down and unbuttoned my shirt. I watched him and felt my face heat up. He accidentally touched my stomach while fixing it. I felt like I needed to throw up.

"There" He said as he got back up.

"Thanks" I said ashamed.

I looked at him and he was wearing a blue hoodie and black jeans, and of course his chullo.

"You don't seem to be dressed for this either" I spoke to break the awkward silence.

"No need, its just my parents" (Craig)

"In a fancy restaurant" I added.

"Fancy or not, it's my parents" (Craig)

We arrived. We walked in and were immediately flagged down by who I assume was his mom. We sat down across from them.

"Craigy" His mom said happily.

Craig had no emotion on his face.

"Craig..." His dad said as he looked at him with an icy stare.

"Who's this?" His mom smiled.

"I'm Tweek, Craig's f-friend" I said nervously.

"Nice to meet you sweetie" She smiled.

Next to her was a 15 year old girl, she was just on her phone texting.

"You know you could've wore something nice, take that stupid hat of yours off" He said in a frustrated tone.

"No" Craig spoke.

"Craig, please" His mom pleaded.

"No, It's my decision what I wear" He said as he picked up the menu.

"Be nice to your mother" His dad scoffed.

Craig didn't listen and continued to look at the menu. I grabbed the menu and hid my face from his parents.

I lightly hit his leg.

He looked at me.

"Be nice" I mouthed.

He sighed. I put my menu down.

"How are you Tricia" Craig hesitantly said.

She turned off her phone and looked surprised.
