Creek battle of the books AU
(Their in 10th grade)

CRAIG/3RD PERSON POV
———————
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I tried knocking my alarm to the floor but it ended up falling off of my nightstand...
Really?

He rolled off my bed and went to go shut it off
"CRAIG HURRY UP YOUR GONNA BE LATE!"my mom said
At this point he couldn't care less so I just threw on some black sweatpants and a  navy blue shirt that says 'NASA' with the logo on it.
I grab my hat from my closet and walk down stairs
*sigh*"craig.this is the seventh time you've been late.SEVENTH"my mom says
"Oh well,"he says while shrugging his  shoulders and flipping her off
I proceed to walk to school,giving how late I was,I had probably already missed the bus
But...
It kinda feels like I forgot something...
Whatever,

I walk into Mr garrisons class...yes he's been teaching up a grade every year...we can't escape.
I look over my chair so I can get my phone out of my backpack,because I am NOT writing an essay about climate change but...my bag Isn't next to me...I FORGOT IT AT HOME.

"Tucker,why aren't your books and resources open along with your blank sheet of paper?"
"Ummm...my do-NO,NO, GUINEA PIG!Yeah,my guinea pig ate my...backpack?"
He said with a slightly questionable tone
"Tucker.counsler.Mackey.now."said garrison
I walk up to the office,I mean,even if I refused,I'd probably get red racer taken away from me at home and that can NEVER happen.EVER.

As I walk into the office,Mackey tells me to take a seat
"Okaaay?"I say
"Listen,Craig,because you never do your work,mkay...you have a GPA of 0.796.
Do you know how low that is?"
"Yeah"he said,not even knowing how decimals work
"Craig,there's so physical way to pass this grade because of your GPA,mkay?"
"Oka-"but that's when it hit me...if I didn't pass,I'd be behind a grade from ALL my friends.they'd make fun of me,they'd think I'm not cool,which I totally am by the way,
"Is there...uh..anything to help me pass...?
"Mkaaayy....so...your only options are extracurriculars..."
Dude.seriously?

"What are my options..."I say with a annoyed voice
"Mkay...you've got...sports,band,art,and battle of the books"
Dude.
I'm TERRIBLE at sports,I don't even know how to play a recorder,I can only draw stick figures and I hate reading.
But...I'd want to be in one with the least people I guess...
"Which one has the least amount of people?"I say
"Battle of the books,mkay,now Craig,if this is what you're choosing,I'm gonna tell you right now,all you do is read."says Mackey
"That's fine,whatever."
"Mkay!here's your pass to go later,"
He says in a happy tone as he hands me a post-it note that says 'battle of the books-3:30-4:30-Monday-Friday-Craig Tucker'
EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.OF.THE.WEEK.
WHAT.
"Mkay,well,because you don't have your backpack,you can stay in here for the rest of the day"
I mean,that's better than doing something I guess,

It's felt like FOREVER.
I look at the clock on the wall.i forgot I can't read clocks.
"Hey Mackey,what time is it?"
"Mkay!its 3:18,if you'd like,you can go to the library and start looking for a book to read for your extracurricular!"he said in a gleeful tone
I get up and walk slowly to the library,I do NOT wanna be there.

In the library,I find a 'international space ship NASA' book.
This is the one.

I go to sit at one of the round tables when I notice another kid has entered.
McCormick.
He was probably here for the same reason,he's really bad at anything school related because he was never really taught.
"Yo,Tucker,I never thought I'd see you here,"Kenny says as he grabs a random book from a shelf
"So,why are you here?"he asked
"Grades,I need to pass,"I say
"Awww,what happened to non-caring Craig Tucker?"he says in a baby voice with a lot of 'w's
I flip him off
"But...why are you here?"I say
"The school says I need to practice my reading,this was the only way,"he says
"Is it really only us in here?"I say
"Nah,there's some new kid joining the school and the club,not sure why anyone with a choice should join this hell-hole"he says

I hear the big doors open then shut
I hear footsteps walking up to the table and sitting down
I'm not sure why but it kinda smells like...coffee?im not sure,but it's really warm in here,props to whatever's doing that,
I slowly turn around and see a...funky looking kid
He had 'spiked' blondish yellowish hair,black sweatpants,and a badly buttoned up sage green shirt,I mean,even a blind person could do better then that,I mean come on.

He shakily sits down and pulls out a smoking thermos.SMOKING.HOT.THERMOS.
what the heck does he have in there?
All of a sudden the smoke detector goes off and the sprinklers turn on,leaving the entire library,a smart-bord,and some books COMPLETELY ruined.

The library lady comes out of the back looking mad.
"YOUNG MAN.HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE SCHOOL INFORMED YOU BEFORE-HAND TO NOT BRING STEAMING HOT DRINKSS."she says
"DETENTIONNNN ALL OF YOUUU!"she yells
I turn around to look at Kenny but...as expected...he left.

Without saying a word I walk to detention with PC principle and tweek
"ALRIGHT GUYS THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU ARE GOING TO SIT HERE AND THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS."
That new kid was constantly making weird noises...I hate this town.
I sit there with my head down because I don't have my phone
DUDE.THIS KID WONT SHUT UP.
"DUDE SHUT UP."I tell him
"GAH!S-SORRY!"
Dude...why does he seem so worried?

ONE HOUR LATER

Here I am,walking home,drenched in water,all because of my grades.
God,I love my life.
I walk into my house
"CRAIG DID YOU GET DETENTION AGAIN!?!?"
I flip him off and go to my room

IN HIS ROOM

I can't wait to watch red racer,I LOVE this show.
He goes to the channel but...RED RACER PASSED.
"AUHHNAHANAAHANHA"he says before plopping on his bed and going to sleep moody

I wake up to getting hit with a pillow
"Wake up asshole,it's time for dinner,"my sister Tricia says
I groggily walk downstairs and take my dinner upstairs without answering or being asked questions

I eat my food while watching red racer...finally I can watch this damn show...this taste even worse than the 'food' we get at school for money.
I put the plate on my dresser when I'm done...I do NOT wanna be lectured right now.
Yeah,I'm going back. to bed

(9 hours later)

"Damn,what time is it?" I say while rubbing my eyes,
CLOCK:4:24AM
I should probably get ready so I don't have to deal with my parents in the morning...
I'm way too tired for this..
I walk out the house and walk around South Park

'Hmmm...I should probably get some energy...'I say while talking to myself
'Hmm..that place seems nice...ish..'
The sign read
'TWEEK BROS.'
Kinda reminds me of someone...I feel like I've heard that name before...eh,whatever
It was...actually open?okay?
I walk in and see that weird twitchy kid with a cup of coffee...great.

TWEEK POV

God,another night at the s-shop...
*insert bell song from opening the door*
He jumps a little at the fact that it's four AM and there's someone in the shop
"GAH!?W-WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?!?ARE YOU GONNA KILL ME!?!? OH GOD"

3RD PERSON POV

Craig walks to the counter
"..."
Tweek:"Y-YEAH!sorry...W-what would y *twitch* like to order?"
Craig:"do you guys have anything for energy."

Tweeks mind:'OH GOD WHAT IF HES GONNA ROB ME OR WORSE,WHAT IF HE JUMPS ME FROM YESTERDAY!?!?OH GOD...'

(From Craig pov tweek is stareing into space)
"Hellooo?" Said the boy in the hat
"S-sorry...uhm...w-we have coffe,a- *twitch* desserts displayed!"said the boy with the messy hair

Craig looked at the desserts
"Can I have a...coffee and...a muffin?"
"Y-yeah..."

*the twitchy kid said while shakily putting in the order on the machine*

(3 MINUTES LATER)
The blonde kid comes over and drops the buissness card out his pocket,he goes to pick it up but the trey with the food knocks over and STEAMING hot coffee falls on the blondies hand.damn.

"GAHHH!?!??WHAT DO I DOO????"says the worker

Craig stands there not knowing what to do...INSTINCT
normally when he gets in trouble,he leaves...that's EXACTLY what he's gonna do now.

Craig SPRINTED out of there,leaving tweek and his 3rd degree burned hand alone in the warm smelling shop.
