Clyde: CRAIG

Clyde: CRAIG ANSWER

Clyde: CRRAAIIIGGGG

He sent these over an hour ago. There are so many...

I don't want to read all this. I'll just call him.

"Hello? Craig!" He answers.

"Hey. I'm not reading all those messages. What do you want? I'm not happy with you right now."

"I know, and I'll explain myself but first... is Tweek with you?"

"Yeah, we just closed the cafe."

"Step away for a second."

"Okay..." I move to a different room.

"So, about the locker thing..."

"Did you lie to me on purpose?"

"No, listen. Tolkien told me what happened. I cleared it up with him but I had to tell him about your feelings towards Tweek."

"You told him?"

"Did you want me to let him think that letter was for him?"

"..."

"Thought so."

"You told me you checked the registry."

"I did! But I'm dyslexic with numbers. Honestly, I'm surprised you believed me so easily."

"You are the worst wingman ever."

"I'm trying my best..."

"You owe me for that embarrassment."

"Fine, fine."

"I gotta drive Tweek home now. Bye."

"Go inside with hi-"

I hang up before he can finish his stupid thought.

Tweek finds me. "What are you doing in the closet?"

I ask myself that every day, Tweek.

"Had to take this call. Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah."

We get into my car. He has that backpack I saw in his locker earlier.

"You never told me what's in that bag."

"It's... nothing. Personal stuff."

"Why do you keep it at work then?"

"..."

"It's okay. You don't need to answer that. Sorry for prying."

"It's alright. I'll tell you someday maybe."

"Okay."

We sit in silence as I drive. I have to keep my eyes on the road but from the corner of my eye I can see Tweek leaning on the window.

"Tweek?"

"Hmm?"

"You seem lost in thought. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just sleepy."

"Ha. I'm surprised that you can get sleepy after all the coffee you drink."

"I have to crash at some point."

"True."

"Hey..."

"Yeah?"

"Did you enjoy it? Working with me I mean..."

"Yeah. I did. It was fun."

"Good..."

"Why do you ask?"

"No reason."

We arrive at Tweek's house.

He stops for a moment. "Do you want to come in for a bit? My parents are out... We could hang out..."
