Build Me Up

Chapter 4

"Who's out to get him?" Craig questioned.

"The president! God, he hates me. I don't want to bomb North Korea and he's putting words into my mouth and-" Tweek started to pull at his hair.

"You need to go to sleep Tweek.." I said, frowning.

"Yeah, the chance of the president being in South Park is slim to zero. I'm sure he wouldn't be terrorizing you anyway." Craig added, taking off his chullo and handing it to Tweek. Tweek looked confused.

"Why'd you give me your hat?" Tweek pulled on his hair more.

"Pulling on your hair will make you go bald. Just pull on the strings of my hat instead." Tweek smiled a little, putting on Craig's chullo and pulling on the strings.

"Nice.." Tweek mumbled.

"Dude." I could hear Kenny say. I glanced over to him, to see his mouth hanging open. I nudged him and he turned towards me. I smiled and put a finger to my mouth. I wrote on the paper the teacher passed out at the start of class.

B: They totally like each other.
K: Yeah it's pretty freaking obvious.
B: Want to help get them together?
K: Oh bet let's do it.
B: I have a plan, I'll tell you.

I tugged onto his hood, letting him know to put it down. When he took his hood down, I froze. Jesus Christ. He had freckles covering his face, piercings on both ears, and one on his nose. His eyes seemed like a darker blue today, and his hair was like this sandy color. It was the fluffiest hair I've ever seen. It was weird. Had I not noticed all that before?

Feeling strange, I quickly leaned into Kenny so my mouth was almost touching his ear. I whispered my plan to him and made sure he heard it all. Soon the bell rang, and we all went our separate ways.

Time skip to after class because I'm lame

I was outside Tweek's class, and I smiled evilly as I waited for him. When he came out, I put on a  concerned look.

"Tweek, I don't think you should be walking home today. It'll make you so much more tired. Why don't you ride the bus and take a rest?" I was actually concerned about his lack of sleep, but this was a two in one.

"I don't know. So much noise and too many people. I am tired though. You know what, I think I will. I might just let them take my underpants too. I kinda give up because it's been so long." Tweek blinks were lasting longer. Like he was trying hard not to fall asleep.

"C'mon we're gonna miss the bus! We have to hurry." I grabbed Tweek's arm and raced out of the school and onto the bus we took.

The bus was almost completely full, as I planned. If we got here late then there would be fewer seats available. Kenny was sitting next to Craig, who was frowning from whatever joke Kenny just told. Kenny's backpack was in the seat opposite him. I walked to the odd pair and poked Ken.

He looked up like he didn't expect me. "Want to switch seats? I don't think Craig understands your awesome humor." He nodded and stood up moving to the seat opposite Craig. I sat next to Kenny, and Craig asked Tweek if he wanted to sit next to him. Tweek looked around like he wasn't going to say yes, but hurriedly did.

I put in one earbud into my left ear and let Kenny have my right earbud. After a few minutes, I glanced over to Tweek, only to see he was asleep. He was asleep alright, yet he still had on Craig's chullo. His head was on Craig's shoulder and Craig was smiling softly, looking off into the scenery.

"Kenny," I muttered, pausing my music.

"Yes, Buttercup?" He murmured back.

"Look..." I whispered, pointing towards the two lovebirds.
