Tomorrow's Today {A Creek Fanfiction} |COMPLETE|

Chapter 3- Distant friendships.

Craig, Clyde, Token, Jimmy, and Kevin all sat at a rectangle shaped table furthest away from the cafeteria doors, and the short lunch line.
Sitting on the left side, was Craig and Jimmy. The right end; Kevin, Token, and Clyde in the middle.

"So, we basically just watched some history shit in 4th hour," Clyde rambled on. His food layed untouched in front of him.

"Clyde," Token cut off the talkative brunette. He pointed at Clyde's tray of food. "see this? Its food. You eat it."
This, resulted in Clyde hushing the dark skinned boy beside him.
"I'd rather talk before I eat."

"I thought you said you were starving?" Craig added dryly.

"Well, I changed my mind. Besides," Clyde began, stabbing his fork into the mush of his under cooked steak burger. "This stuff makes me want to puke. I'd rather have Citywok."

"I-I-I c-couldn't a-a-gree more." Jimmy joined into the conversation. Once he looked down at his food, he let out an unsatisfied sigh.

Eventually, Craig found himself disconnected to the conversation. Similar to how easily a WiFi connection can loose its signal; depending on the where abouts.
Instead, he laid his gaze on the other kids in the lunch room. Each ranging out from the Goth Kids, the Vampire Kids, Stan's group, girls, the 'Ugly Kid's, and so forth.
But one person caught his eye in particular; sitting beside Kyle and Kenny was none other than Tweek himself. Since when was he hanging around Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, Stan, and Butters? Honestly, Craig would have guessed he'd be off to himself. Or atleast with someone like Scott Malkinson.
But surprisingly, he never knew Tweek would stoop this low.

"Craig?"

Craig snapped out of his daze, turning his head to meet a fairly, peach toned hand near his face.

"What are you staring at?" Kevin asked. His hand returned to its spot beside his food tray.

Craig shrugged.

"And so then, Lola said she was going to climb inside Esther's sports bag and scare her. And I was like, 'Lola, you dirty bitch.'" Clyde rambled on to poor Token; to of which was taking this all in very well.

Once Kevin gave Craig a skeptical look, he picked up his tray and disposed of it in the waste bin. He was soon followed by Jimmy, Craig, Token, and finally Clyde.

The five remained in the hallways. Usually after lunch, some of the students were either allowed to go to their next class, or stay in the halls until the bell rung.

"So you know who me and Craig ran into last hour?" Clyde said. His tone light with energy.

"Craig and I." Kevin mumbled, only to receive a faux glare from Clyde.
"Okay, Kyle." He hissed, turning away from the offended boy.

Token sighed. "I don't know."

Lately, Token has seemed a bit. . .off. He would sigh a lot, much like Craig if he were to be--in what his sister called--his emo moods. The mood to were he would be in a bad mood. Almost related to a state of sudden sadness.
Back to the topic; he always seemed quiet and distant. Like the small spark that once shined in his dark brown eyes dulled a bit.

"We saw-" before Clyde could finish his sentence, the final class bell rung.

The group stood there, quietly. The sounds of stomping feet echoed through the slightly narrow passage ways.

This gave Craig a time to think. It had been a while since he's last talked to Tweek. Not to mention how much he's drifted himself away from everyone besides Kenny and them.
Why would he hang out with people like them? What made them so much better than him and the rest of his inner circle? As girly and selfish as it sounded; he always felt the need to be somewhat better than Stan's group. Rivalry, is another term to describe this urge. But when Craig found out that Tweek began to hang around said group, he was a bit jealous.
Even though it was quite obvious why Tweek would choose them of all people, it still didn't stop Craig's mild curiosity. The same curiosity that would lead him to worse things in life.

Without a word, Craig whisked his way through the crowd, leaving his friends without saying goodbye. Luckily, they were already used to his slightly rude behavior.

He pushed, shoved, and squeezed his way past the crowd of kids in the hallways, until he reached his destination.
Kyle and Stan stood at their lockers, giving small smiles of appreciation to Butters' words. Kenny leaned lazily against a locker with many, 'Go Cows!' Stickers on it, Tweek right between Butters and Kenny.
And finally, Cartman stood there by a dented locker. Or more perferably, the locker in which caused a girl to go to the hospital.
Apparently, two girls were fighting over a boy named, Francis. (Who honestly wasn't even that attractive in Craig's perspective. Well, in Craig's perspective if he were a girl).
So, apparently the two began to fight, then girl #1 grabbed girl #2 by the hair and slammed her head repeatedly into the locker; hard enough to make a few blood drops to ooze onto the ground.
Soon enough, the paramedics arrived and girl #2 was said to have her head cracked opened. As for girl #1, she was suspended for 3 weeks for violent behavior towards another classmate. Sadly.
But, that was a year ago. The year when both Jason and Tweek hung around them.
The funniest part, to Craig, was that Tweek developed a major fear against girl #1. Or Head Crusher, is what most kids called her; in a teasing manner. So, that whole week, Tweek never went to his classrooms alone, not without forcing Craig to tag along with him. That or Token.

Without thinking, Craig wandered over to the group, pausing in his footsteps as he stood a few inches away from Tweek.

"What do you want?" Cartman asked. Yet, his voice seemed more demanding than questioning.

Craig ignored Cartman's suspicion, as he wrapped his hand around Tweek's wrist. Therefore, leading him away from the supposed 'cliche' he now belonged to.

A/N: This is my first attempt in writing a ship related fanfic, so I am sorry if its bad at first °~°
Aye, don't judge me. I am tired, confused, etc.
I love excuses, okay??

Anyways! I will only publish these three (maybe even four) parts for now, due to school, and eventually I will find the time to write more!

See you next time my Little Horrors!
