Habits of My Heart

-5-

Night finally came as I got ready. I put on my dark blue flannel with my black jeans and my black converses.

I had started to fix my hair then realized I'm just going to put my hat on so I shrugged and grabbed my hat.

Then I look at myself in the mirror.

'Why the fuck am I getting all dressed up for a stupid house party?' I ask myself.

But it was too late to change because the door bell rang. I ran down stairs grabbed my keys and opened the door.

It was Clyde.

"Looking nice Craig come on Token's waiting in the car."

We both walked to Token's car as I shoved my phone in my pocket. And we were off to Stan's place.

Time skipu

When we arrived we were greeted by Stan and Kyle by the door.
They let us in and the place reeked of alcohol.

Music blasted from the speakers. I actually knew the song so I was bumping my head to the beat and went towards the back of the room to get a drink and that's when Clyde pulled me downstairs into the basement.

"Dude come on their playing pool down here."

I just followed down the steps. And when we got down to the basement it was like a whole other room. There was a TV and couches with two big full size pool tables and other food and drinks scattered around the place.

"Dammit Cartman your cheating!" A male says. I didn't quite see who it came from with all the people.

"Shut up Kinny you just suck at this game."

My heart dropped when I heard that name. I felt like running back up the stairs before he could see me but Clyde steady on pulling me to where they were.

"Hey guys!!" Clyde yelled out to the two as Kenny turned around and looked dead at me I grew uneasy.

"Wanna play a round with us? Me and Craig vs you two."

I had to speak up I didn't really want to play this game especially if Kenny's playing with us.

"I don't really know how to play." I lied.

"I can teach you." Kenny spoke up now I knew I wasn't getting out of this.

"Okay while Kinny teaches his boyfriend how to play, come here now Clyde let's make a bet for who ever wins." Cartman says throwing his arm around Clyde walking off with him. I just glared at his direction.

"Here grab a stick." I did as told and grabbed one of the pool sticks as he went behind me.

"Hold it like this and bend over the table to hit the white ball in any direction to get the colored ones in the said hole."

He had placed his hand over mine to show me how to hold it even though I already know how to do it I just ignored his instructions and took in how close he was.

My heart beat started to increase as he spoke softly in my ear I shivered feeling his warm breath touch my skin as he pulled away.

I felt slightly upset.

"Now do you got it?"

I shook my head yes as Cartman and Clyde came back.

"Okay the deal is that who ever loses has to do what ever the winners says for a week." Cartman says with a grin like he knows he'd win.

And with that Kenny sets up the balls and Cartman offered us to go first and I stepped up to give the first shot.

Cartman laughed because he thought I was going to mess up but to his surprise I broke the triangle at ease as three balls rolled into there holes and since I made some in I could go again.

And after that again and again I plucked each ball into its hole and all that was left was the 8 ball.

"8 ball corner pocket."

I spoke out before hitting it into the said pocket.

Cartman and Kenny's mouths dropped they didn't even get to go and they lost.

"I thought you said you didn't know how to play?" Kenny said still surprised.

I just leaned my hand on the pool table and smirked at him.

"I lied." Then Clyde high fived me.

"AYE you can't do this that's cheating best two out of three"

Me and Clyde just shrugged and played again.

And again we won.

Cartman groaned and hit the table he coulded believe he lost again Kenny not really caring just laughed.

"Again!" Cartman yelled and this time we backed down.

"Nah we won fair and square you two have to do what ever we tell you." Clyde said with a devilish smile I just stood there gazing at Kenny who was doing the same thing.
I just grinned at him trying to hide it and he just chuckled at me.

He then walked over to me. "I guess I'm your servant for the week."

"I guess you are now come on." I said placing the stick down on the table and walking up the stairs with Kenny. You could here faint yelling from Cartman when we left but we didn't pay much attention.
