"So how did it go?" Clyde said as I played on the claw machine.

"It was good I guess"

I dropped the claw and missed.

"What's up?" Clyde said as he swiped the game card on the machine again.

"Nothing" I said as I dropped the claw and missed the prize again.

"Craig, something is up, you usually are really good at this game" Clyde swiped the card again.

"It's just, he wants me to pretend as if nothing happened between us"

"Ouch" (Clyde)

"No kiss, no relationship, he wants a fresh start"

"Is this what YOU want though" (Clyde)

"Not really" I said as I moved the claw around.

"Do you want to talk to him about it?" (Clyde)

"Yes and no, it's just that he is right, sometimes the best thing you could do is stay friends. It's just confusing to be in a relationship right now" I dropped the claw.

It picked the prize up but dropped it. I sighed.

"How is everything with your parents?" He asked.

"Well from what I told you on the phone last night, not great. I did get a job though"

"That's great, where?" He smiled.

"Um, a cafe"

His smiled began to disappear.

"Don't tell me.." (Clyde)

"With Tweek" I sighed.

He groaned.

"Literally anywhere could've been better. How are you supposed to move on when you literally work with the man" Clyde crossed his arms.

Tolkien came back with a slice of pizza.

"Right Tolkien?" (Clyde)

"Bro I'm just trying to eat" He said as he took a bite.

"He is going to work with Tweek" Clyde said annoyed.

Tolkien nearly choked on his pizza.

"You're joking" (T)

I flipped them off. I began to walk away from the machine, they followed.

"You've got to be kidding me, think like a sane person" Clyde groaned.

"Craig you are hurt by him and yet you're going to work with him?" (T)

"I don't have a choice, I need the money guys. I don't want to be kicked out my apartment"

"I get it but legitimately anywhere else is better. I just feel like it's going to do more harm than good if you two want to stay just friends" (C)

"To get over him you have to put yourself first. Limit your time spent with him, distract with yourself. Live your own life so it doesn't revolve around him" (T)

"I need the money" I repeated.

"Tolkien, give him your inheritance" (C)

"Let's slow down now" (T)

"You could work literally anywhere BUT there" Clyde scoffed.

"CRAIG TUCKER" We heard from a familiar voice.

It was Wendy, Wendy Testaburger.

"This isn't going to be pretty" (T)

"It's satan herself" Clyde said nervously.
