Stolovan Thing

Chapter 3

~Kevin~

Douglas kept his promise and showed up at my house to walk to school with me, he really must've wanted to see me embarrass myself, since usually he didn't show up to school until the bell was about to ring.

"Are you sure you can do it?" He questions, he can probably tell how nervous I am.

"No.." I sigh. I know he probably doesn't even care that much, but I'm not going to lie.

Douglas lets a soft chuckle escape from his mouth. "You technically already said something around him, now you just need to... have an actual fucking conversation with him."

"You're making me sound more pathetic than I am.." I whine. "I just really don't think I can do this..."

"You'll be fine." He tries to comfort me by patting me on the back. "It's too late to change your mind, and besides, we're almost at school."

~Clyde~

Tweek's behavior is a bit weird today. First of all, Craig's here and he's not all huggy on him. Right now it's the other way around. Craig's whining asking Tweek why he isn't paying attention to him. Honestly, I'm wondering the same thing.

If I were to guess I would assume he's looking for someone. I can't imagine how he would he would be able to find anyone in this courtyard the way it is, not every group of friends was able to claim their own table like we were, so there's tons of people just standing around.

Suddenly he called out to a Kevin. I looked, mainly because I want to know if it's the same Kevin from the fro-yo place yesterday. It was, he was close enough that it seemed he purposely put himself in the sights of Tweek so he could call him, he was accompanied by he guy in the grey beanie from yesterday.

I think Tweek tried to whisper to him because he stood up and talked into Kevin's ear, but it wasn't a whisper at all. "I called you over, you're on your own now." After he said that he went back to his normal self and being all lovey dovey with Craig.

The guy in the beanie, who's name I remember to be Douglas, pushes Kevin towards me. He looks down at his feet, awkwardly clutching his arm, and blush feathers his cheeks.

I must admit, his obvious crush on me is adorable. I pat the spot next to me on the bench. "Come sit down." I perch my head on top of my hand, my cheek resting on my palm.

I feel a smirk creep onto my face as he shyly takes a seat next to me, he looks so stiff. "You can relax a bit y'know, I'm not going to bite." I laugh.

He of course doesn't relax. "Umm... hi.." he mumbles, not looking at me at all.

"Hey," I start, hoping he says something else, but of course, he doesn't so I have to carry on the conversation. "say, don't we have a class together?" I ask, knowing the answer.

"It's two classes actually.." He keeps up the mumbling.

"Really? Which ones?" I ask, I only know of one, last period.

"Chemistry and geometry." He takes a glance at me, then immediately looks away.

"Really now," I smirk. It's really fun watching him act like this. After Bebe it makes me feel appreciated, knowing someone actually likes me. I was only aware of one class we had together, shows how observant I am huh.

He nods in response, but nothing else comes out of him.

If he wants to be in any sort of relationship with me, he's gonna have to be able to talk without being forced to. I was about to tell him this, but the bell signalling us to go to our first classes rang. I guess I'll tell him when I see him later in chem.

Because I'm perfectly willing to be in a relationship with him, just not yet.

He immediately shoots up and starts walking, dragging Douglas with him. "I'll see you in chem Kevin." I smile at him, standing up, Craig kisses Tweek goodbye and walks off without me, what an ass.

"Yeah, see you." He turns back and smiles back at me.

I turn around, winking at him. "Bye~" I wave. I see him flush before I finally turn my back to him, and catch up to Craig Fucker.

"What on Earth was that?" Craig raises a brow, looking suspiciously in my direction.

I act like I don't know what he's talking about. "What was what?"

"That." He puts emphasis on the word as he says it, and gestures his head backwards. "At the table."

"You mean the thing with Kevin?" I ask innocently.

"Yes," Craig probably couldn't tell I was messing with him. He doesn't pay attention to anything that isn't Tweek.

"What? He's kinda cute~" I laugh. "Besides, didn't Tweek tell you what he was going to do? That whole thing was obviously planned."

Craig ignores the question and focuses on the first thing I said. "Didn't you just break up with your girlfriend like yesterday?" He questions. "Isn't it a bit soon to think anyone is cute?"

"I'm not going to date him..." I mutter. He shoots me a suspicious glance

"Dude, you were flirting with him."

"I was not." I cross my arms in front of my chest defensively. "I won't date him yet." I put emphasis on yet. Even I know it's way too soon to just date someone else, even if my ex is a bit-

~Kevin~

"That was fucking pathetic." Douglas squints his eyes at me.

"Don't be so hard on him. He at least talked to him, and he departed okay." Tweek tried to defend me.

Douglas laughed. "The depart was the only thing he did well, he probably ruined all chances he had at dating Clyde." As he said that, I got a text from Scott explaining why he was absent. He had to stay home because he had a cold. Guess he just missed out on Douglas' conversation starter for the next week, which is as usual, me being stupid.

Tweek touched my arm to get my attention. I put my phone back into my pocket where it belongs. "Aren't you going to defend yourself against this bully?!" He almost yells, which doesn't grab the attention of anyone in this crowded, already noisy corridor.

I smile at him, then look over to Douglas, and back at Tweek. "No, Douglas is right, I'm pathetic, Clyde'll probably never speak to me again." I rub the back of my neck.

"If you had no chance with him, he would let you know. He obviously knows you like him, he's even flirting with you." Tweek tries being optimistic, but I cut him off

"He flirts with everyone." I point out to him.

"I would've thought that you of all people would realize that he only flirts in people by the group unless he likes them. Like how he passed a group of girls and compliments them without mentioning a name, and he usually doesn't initiate that stuff either." Tweek laughs. "He totally likes you."

He pats me on the back as Douglas and I reach our first period, Tweek has a different class, so he walks off as we enter.

"Do you thinks he's right?.." I ask him with hope filled eyes.

"He's probably exaggerating." Douglas states. "But knowing what little I know about Clyde, take that with a grain of salt, though he did just break up with his girlfriend, so take that into account too."

I bury my head in my arms, my forehead hitting against the desk as I do so. "But, Clyde'll probably talk to you in the classes you have together, so you need to be prepared for that."

"Oh god I didn't think about that!" I shout, earning a few glances from teenagers across the classroom.

"You'll be fine, just read your comics for now and calm down." Douglas turns around and pretends he doesn't know me for the rest of the period, not that ai minded though because I was reading my Star Trek comics.
