Build Me Up

Chapter 8

She spent most of the period handing out these pieces of paper. When she got to my lunch table, she grinned and gave us four slips.

"Hope you guys come, it's going to be a huge turnout." Wendy walked off to another table, and we all stared at each other.

"Well-well guys I don't know a-ab-about you, but I'm crashing this bitch."

"Timmy!" He had opened his and Jimmy's papers and raised his hands excitedly.

Tweek's hands shook violently, making it look like he was choking his poor piece of paper to death. "Oh God, so this is like a party? One with too many people. Everyone's going to be crowded together and all sweaty and- ick!"

"Aw, Tweek, you should go." I leaned next to him and whispered, "I betcha that Craig will show up to flip someone off and be all moody in a corner."

"Heh, probably. Wait, why would he even go?" Tweek scrunched his eyebrows and opened up his own paper, "Oh god- besides... He's not going to want to go with me."

"He'll go because he'll think you'll be there, duh. Oh and yeah right, like he wouldn't want to go with you." Craig screams 'Kiss me, Tweek!'

"Ye-yeah, dude. Like c'mon, it'll be fun!" Jimmy tried.

"Erm, maybe. I have to think about it."

"Well it's already almost the weekend, and ya'll have to get your costumes."

"You're not going? But I thought..." Tweek raised his eyebrows in confusion, and the other two frowned at me.

"Don't be a pu-pu-pu-pussy, Butters. Have fun with us."

"We never get to hang out, all of us together. Don't you like us?" Tweek frowned slightly, looking towards his plate.

"No! I mean, I do like you guys and I always have fun with you three. It's just, I'm sort of scared my dad will ground me or something." Rubbing my neck nervously, I observed all three's reactions. They were quiet for a minute, probably thinking I was just scared about nothing.

"We can sneak you out?" Tweek suggested. "Gah, it'd be lame if you weren't there with us."

"Ye-yeah! Timmy and I can be the distractions while Tweek gets you."

"Timmy!" He nodded in agreement.

"How would Tweek get me? What if something goes wrong?" My father would seriously punish me for being disobedient, and I wouldn't want any of my friends to get into trouble.

"Um, I could climb up your tree, and we could run out of your backyard without him noticing?" I imagined this scene going down, and it always ended up with us being caught or my father noticing and grounding me later.

They looked towards me expectedly like I'd crush their weekend if I didn't agree.

Well, it wasn't like I wouldn't be in trouble anyway. "You know what fellas? I'm in."

Class is normally so boring, but with Kenny, I can't keep a straight face.
