Tweek POV

I stood there, staring at Craig who was sitting on my bed. I didn't know why he was in my room, but I wasn't ready to face him. A few moments went by in complete silence until I started to feel cold and I suddenly remembered I wasn't wearing anything at all. I felt my face heat up and turn red as I quickly turned and ran back out of the room. ''AHHH!'' I darted across the hall and slammed the bathroom door shut.

I leaned my back on the door and covered my face with my hands as I slid down to the floor. 'Why is he here?! Why is he in my room!? Why... was he staring at me like that..?!' ''AHHHHH!!'' I couldn't help but yelp, he saw me naked and was just staring. ''Is everything alright up there?'' I heard my mom yell from the bottom of the stairs. Before I could say anything, I heard footsteps and Craig calling back. ''Everything's fine. I have to go!'' I could hear his footsteps running down the stairs and then the front door open and close quickly.

I got up and cracked open the bathroom door. I peaked my head out and saw my mom coming upstairs. I grabbed the other bathroom towel and wrapped it around myself before coming out. ''What was all the yelling?'' She asked me with a questioning look on her face. ''He was in my room.. And I was... GAHH!'' I ran into my room and slammed the door closed. I grabbed my phone and saw a text from Craig. ''Sorry..'' was all it said.. I suddenly felt somehow guilty.. 'Wait.. Why do I feel guilty?' I thought about what just happened. 'He was the one who was in MY room. He was the one staring.. at.. ME?!' ''AHHHH!!''

A knock came from my door and I heard my mom asking if I was okay. I was a spaz most of the time, but my house was a 'safe space' and it didn't happen nearly as much or as bad at home. ''I'm f..fine m..mom..'' I took a deep breath to calm myself. ''Everything is ok.. don't worry about me.'' She said ''Ok.. But if you need anything, I'm here for you.'' and walked away. She always says that when I don't tell her something.. It makes me feel bad not telling her, but I couldn't tell her about this.. I needed someone to talk to. I pulled out my phone again and looked through my contacts. 'Leopold' came up and I was about to message him when I thought about how distracted he has been lately with Kenny. And since Kenny is close friends with Craig, I didn't want to cause any awkwardness. I kept scrolling and decided to ask Wendy.

My phone buzzes only a moment after sending the text. ''What's up sweety?'' She always acted nice to me. She has been the person I can talk to the most about these things anyways. She can keep a secret, after all, she was 'dating' Stan who was actually with Kyle. Stan and her did date a long time ago, until he started having feelings for Kyle. She told me she knew he was gay for Kyle since the beginning, but they were like 'girlfriends' and she would do anything for him. I think she even had a hand in them getting together. I asked her to meet me so we could talk and she agreed.

I walked to my family's coffee shop and went inside. My dad was already there. We waved to each other, then he went back to helping the customer he was with. I went to the back and made myself a cup of my favorite coffee. I also made something for Wendy. She loves when I make it for her. She says it has that extra personality to it compared to when she gets anything anywhere else.  I sat down at my usual table in the back and waited for Wendy. She came in a few minutes later.. with Craig. 'What is she doing with him!?' I dropped under the table and peeked out to see what they were doing. I saw her look around and spot me. She knew I always sat at this table. She turned back to Craig. They were whispering and I was too far to hear what was being said.

After a few moments, I saw my dad hand Craig a coffee cup and he left. He looked sad.. I came out from under the table as Wendy came over and sat down. She raised an eyebrow and stared at me without saying a word.. ''WHAT!?'' I yelled out.. She was making me feel nervous.. ''YOU! That's what. What happened this morning?!'' She grabbed her coffee I had set out for her and took a sip. ''What?! Nothing!!'' I was starting to feel nervous about tell her.
