idiots in love

~ 13 ~

Craig plopped himself on the sidewalk and patiently waited for him to come out. He so did not wake up super early just to get ready to go see him. He so wasn't planning to just press the doorbell and see his face slowly glow a bright red. Lies. Of course he wanted to do these things. What is true is that he's willing to be late to school; as if he really cared much about it in the first place. He grabbed his phone in his pocket and checked the time. It was 6:50 and school starts at 7:50. He was sure that he was early enough. In between that hour, Tweek will eventually come out of that door.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see window curtains being closed and damn he hated himself for being too late to see who it was. Based on where the window was, he should be able to determine what window the room is in and whose room it is. But he couldn't determine. For some strange reason, he just completely forgot and that upset him.

He looked at his phone again which showed his reflection of desperation. The spaz has avoided him plenty of times in the past but why is this one different? He thought of some reasons why this could be but he couldn't come to the conclusion. Well for one he was confessed by him some days ago. Another thing he liked the person back. Maybe this is why he was desperate? He would never know. But then again, Butters did strictly told him to leave the twitchy blonde alone for the time being. But how was that possible when he spent most of his days with the guy. He was just acting like a fool and he felt so pathetic. Tweek was the only one who can make him feel this way. All these mushy feelings that are occurring.

He stared grimly at the door, thinking that Tweek'll open it right about now but tsked when that time wasn't coming anytime soon. It's your fault for making me feel this way. Take responsibility dammit! Right when thinking this, the door creaked open and he scrammed. Running to the nearest car and hiding behind it. The beating coming from his chest began to speed up. Craig grew angry at himself. What the fuck is wrong with you Tucker! The hell are you scared for? As he began to sock the air to take out his anger, he could hear his name being called.

"Craig?" She looked around her front yard and then the street, squinting her eyes. "I swear I saw him."

That wasn't Tweek's voice. He peeked and could see Tweek's mother left with utter confusion.

"Did he leave? Oh dear...Tweek! Was your boyfriend supposed to wait for you? If so, he just left!"

Craig leaned more forward, peeking to see if Tweek was behind his mother and to hear his voice that he hasn't heard in a while. But before he can ever listen to any conversation between mother and son, she had closed the front door. The black haired boy cursed to himself as he slowly got up from his crouching position. He stood up and scratched the back of his neck. Seriously... He huffed. If someone saw me like this...

"BAHAHAHAHA!"

He definitely jinxed it because just ahead of him, in front of the car he hid behind just a minute ago, he could see him. The guy that stole Tweek's first date.

"Man!" He laughed, trying to calm himself. "You really do love the guy!" He walked towards Tucker and went in the same position he was in when he hid from Tweek's mom. Deren chuckled. "Don't think I didn't see everything because I did." He then stood up straight and crossed his arms with a smirk. "So stalking Tweeky now, aren't cha?"

Since when was this guy close enough to give Tweek a nickname? Let alone a really bad one. "What are you doing here?" Simply avoiding his questions is much easier than dealing with this guy's teasing.

"Just taking a nice morning stroll."

Craig frowned as he looked at his phone once again. The time reading 7:10. Who wants to wake up early just to stroll? But Craig really shouldn't be speaking because he woke up earlier just to wait for someone who is avoiding him. "You live around here?"
