It was lunch time, and I was just barely able to find an empty table to sit at. I picked at my food and sighed. So much for making a new friend. I still have Butters, I guess, but that doesn't count really. He doesn't usually talk to me. So yeah, guess I'm alone now.

My eyes wandered and landed across the room and at the window. It was snowing. I picked my plate up, threw it in the trash, grabbed my thermos and walked to the window in slight awe. I've never actually seen snowfall. I mean, yeah in movies and stuff but not in real life. I climbed up and sat on the windowsill as I looked out on it, I just kinda... blanked out. It looked so peaceful. I loved it.

My attention was soon brought back by a voice," Hey."

I looked to see Craig looking at me, his hands deep in his pockets. I gave a small wave and looked back out the window.

" You know, you're not supposed to sit up there." He said. I simply shrugged in response. He paused," You didn't eat?"

I shook my head," N-Not Hungry." I jumped when my stomach growled. Gee. Thanks body.  I shook my head," My stomach doesn't speak for me, I do."

" Are you sure about that?"

" Yeah." I nodded and took a sip from my Thermos.

There was a long pause between us. It wasn't a nice silence either. It was like... It was like an awkward "oh please god go away" silence. I hated it.

" Tweek?" I turned to Craig as he looked up at me," I'm not mad at you. Well, kind of, but I'm just stupid. We're still friends. I just thought it'd be better to say in person." He quickly walked away and I jumped, slightly shocked. Well, Okay?

But can I be really sure...?

I don't know.

I sat in class, bored again as I doodled in my notebook. It was choir and we were supposed to work with our partners on our project, but Craig didn't come sit next to me to work like he did last time. And I know I'm not getting up, so I just started doodling in my notebook.

I pressed my body against the desk to make myself smaller as people around me talked louder. I'm used to being alone, I don't mind it I guess. I'm just thinking so much about why Craig got upset. Was it me? Then again, he looked mad when we got there... But not before... He's confusing me and I hate it!

Why do I think so much about him anyway? I shouldn't give a shit about him, hell, sirens aren't supposed to fall in love with humans anyway! I really need to stop this before I completely lose my shit.

But then again, I'm not really following Siren rules anymore...

Everything is so fucking contradicting!!! I hate it!

I suddenly slammed my head on my desk and groaned. I hate life. I hate complicated things. I hate everything. Then, suddenly I'm reminded I have to go to work today. My Dad told me before I left that I was taking over Mom's shift and then later his too. I don't really want to, but If I don't I'll get in trouble, so I'll take my chances.

One of my eyes opened and I saw a pair of feet next to me. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my head," Hey, Craig."

" Hey." He said bluntly and fiddled with his pencil in his hand," So where do you know Butters from?"

" Oh? B-Butters?" I sat up and pulled some hair back," W-We were –HNG– F-Friends before H-He moved here."

" Ah. Is that it? Just that?" He looked at me, like he was inspecting me.

My face contorted a little in confusion," Y-Yeah? Why do-does it –HnG– M-Matter?"

He shook his head and sat up," Wondering. Don't worry about it." He looked at my notebook and I suddenly covered it up and closed it," Well, whatever I saw looked nice."

" D-Don't flatter me." I huffed," Any Ideas on the Song?"

" No." He shook his head again," Sorry."

" We'll figure something out." I breathed out softly and rubbed my head. Damn, I shouldn't've slammed my head like that.

[Shift + Craig Tucker]

I laid in bed, feeling like an idiot. Of course they were just friends, they barely fucking talk anyway. Stupid Craig. Why was I so jealous, anyway? He's just a friend. That's it.

Ah fuck it.

I suddenly got up and put on my leather coat and hat before walking downstairs, my phone in my hands. I saw my Mom and Dad sitting on the couch and my dad looked at me," Where are you going?"

" A walk."

" You'd better at least be back to get ready for school."

" Har Har." I mumbled and walked out, and started walking down the street. Down the block, and into town. I looked at the sky and watched the stars come out. I love space, honestly. It's calming. I guess it's how it's like the Ocean is for Tweek. Which is cool, I guess. We both have our own respective escape. Can you blame us, though?

I mean, life here is kinda shit. I guess life everywhere sucks, if it didn't nobody would want to die and nothing would go wrong in the world. That's how I see it, anyway.

I suddenly stopped walking and looked over to see a coffee shop. And inside Tweek was there cleaning off some tables. I paused before walking in," Hey, you still open?"

" GAH!" He yelled and quickly turned to me, but his fear quickly washed away," O-Oh... w-wait, why are y-you here so la-late?"

" I could ask the same thing." I walked inside and fixed my jacket," So you work here, right?"

" Uh.. Y-Yeah." He nodded.

" It looks nice alright." I put my hands in my pocket," How much for a coffee?"

" I-I can get you one on the House." He smiled slightly and walked back behind the counter. I sat down at the table and pulled out my phone to see Clyde texting me.

When I finally looked up, Tweek set down a cup of coffee in front of me. I took it and set down my phone," You sure I can have this for free?"

" Y-Yeah! Don't -HnG- W-Worry about it." He smiled slightly.

I nodded and took a sip of it. Not too bad, frankly. I sat up and crossed my legs as I looked at him," So, still no ideas on the project."

He shook his head," N-No, not really."

" Ah." I paused," So, Uh, Are you free on Friday?"

" I-I think so, Why d-do you ask?" He raised a brow.

" Well, Clyde told me Token is holding a party, and I said I wouldn't go if you didn't. So if You go, I'll go." I explained and looked at him.

His face turned pink and his hands started to fiddle and shake," I-I don't kn-know. Last time w-we went so-somewhere you got u-upset... and I-I don't want to embarrass you s-still." He rubbed his neck.

" You're not gonna embarrass me. And I got upset over something dumb, it's not your fault." I shrugged and looked at him.

" Um... I-I guess?" He looked at me," I ha-haven't been to a-a party be-before, really."

" Really?" I raised a brow," Not once?"

" No." He shook his head," I-I'm us-usually busy with work, o-or people just don't li-like me." He suddenly paused and spoke up," Th-This isn't l-like a d-date or a s-setup, right?"

" Oh, No!" I scratched my cheek," It's just like hanging out and whatever."

" O-Oh." He nodded," O-Okay, I'll see I-If I can go."
