《Teenage Dirtbag -South Park Creek》Ciggies
Advertisement
I stared out the window of the cold classroom. The rain was hitting the metal roof muffling the sound of my algebra teacher. Outside was grey and foggy. The rain was still hitting pretty hard. I close my eyes to listen to the rain. This is nice. I smile a little thinking about it. Then my mind begins to wonder to the boy with the blue chullo hat. And his grey eyes. The way his hair is so goddamn shiny and soft all the time. How he acts deadpan all the time and hides how his favorite tv show is a cartoon about a race car driver in the 70s. How he smells like peppermint and soap...
"Tweek... Tweek!"
I flutter my eyes open and once I see who it is my heart skips a beat.
"Class ended" Craig states. Monotone as usual.
"Oh." I pack up my things and go to my locker.
There I put my combination in. I usually love the rain. It's so peaceful but today it seems like it's making everybody feel empty. Or emotionless. I hate it. I'm pretty impressionable so it's been making me feel empty too. It sucks.
"Hey dude!" Clyde says as I close my locker
"Hey. Do you know what's for lunch today?"
"I thought you never ate school lunch?"
"Yeah but I'm starving today. I worked the longest shift yesterday I never got a chance to eat"
"I think we have uh... lasagna today"
"Ugh barf. I'd rather starve than eat the schools lasagna"
Clyde laughed and he walked to the cafeteria. I started going to the back hallway so I could go to the back of the school. I just didn't feel like going to a noisy room filled with judgey hormonal teenagers.
When I got to the back of the school I paused. I had no idea what to do. You know fight or flight? Well there's a third option. Freeze. That's exactly what I did. I froze. How am I supposed to react to Craig and Kenny passionately kissing. After a good while they noticed me. They froze too.

"Oh- Uh Sorry... I didn't realize I was interrupting something"
Craig and Kenny looked terrified. Like they just saw a ghost.
"Tweek! Wait!" Craig called out but it was too late. I was already walking into the school and the cafeteria.
Once I got there I sat with Clyde, Wendy and red. I think clyde and Wendy are friends now that I made them hangout. I was happy about that but I felt to crappy about myself to say anything about it.
"UGGGGH" I put my head into my arms and just sat there waiting for someone to ask me what was wrong. But it took a while.
"What's.. wr-" Wendy started to say before I cut her off
"Everything!"
"What happened?"Red asked
I sighed "I saw Craig and Kenny making out in the back of the school"
"Oh hun" Clyde said emphatically while touching my arm.
"You guys should have seen it kenny had his leg up above Craig's waist it was terrible!"
"Ewww" Wendy Said
"Wait do you like Craig?" Red asked
Wendy shot her a death glare "I already told you this"
"Wendy!" I shot up
"Sorry" she shrugged
It was now fourth hour. Almost Time to go home. Well most kids will go home. I have to go back to work. After fourth hour there's fifty hour then it's 3. My fifth hour is just a composition class Which is basically just a study hall. I figured I'd skip that class since there would be no work to make up. And I don't have any homework today so.
When fourth hour ended I snuck out to the back. And to my surprise I saw kenny sitting there with a cigarette in his hand.
"Hey! Come sit, I wanna talk" he said

But I didn't want to
I sat down anyway. The rain was still pouring down like crazy but there was a small little roof hanging off the school to keep us dry.
He took out his box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed me one and a lighter. I haven't smoked for a while. I was trying to quit. But boy oh boy today, did I need one.
I took them from his hands and lit it up.
"So?" I stated.
"I'm sorry that you had to see that. I know how you feel about him"
I look at the ground and bring the cigarette up to my lips. "It's okay. It's not your fault." I tell him. Suddenly a thought popped into my head and my stomach began to twist. I shamed more than ever not just because of the cold.
"You didn't like... heh" I laugh a little out of stress "tell him did you?"
He took a drag and cringed "well..."
"Oh my god!" I could feel my face began to heat up so i leaned my head back and dug my hand started into my face.
"No tweek! I didn't actually tell him!" He tried to reassure me "I just kinda tried to"
"What?" I ask
"Okay I told him I didn't want you guys to hang out and he was like 'what why that's dumb' ya know just bein Craig But i Said I THOUGHT you had a crush on him so I didn't actually tell him. He didn't believe me either"
I facepalm and shake my head at a lot of different things. The fact that Craig was so oblivious. The fact kenny told craig I like him. The fact that I'm being so dumb and dramatic about some guy
"Kenny!"
"Oh shit." He mumbled to himself "put your cigarette out!"
I did what I was told but it was no use. The person already caught us. I was terrified it was going to be mr. Mackey or some other form of authority. I felt my insides begin to swirl. But I was relieved to see it was just Craig. Seeing the look on his face I wished it was mr. Mackey.
Craig was pissed. He stood in front of me and Kenny with his arms crossed.
"I was looking for you dickhead." He tells kenny
"Sorry I was Uh-"
"Oh I can see what you're fucking doing!" He snaps "oh! And look! You brought Tweek on you're smoker train. You know I'm against smoking. You said you quit!"
"Um actually..." I said softly while gently raising my hand "I've been smoking for a long time. Way before this whole... thing."
They both looked at me confused "really?" I nod in response, not wanting to say anything else.
"Okay But would you have smoked here if kenny was gone?"
"Probably I got my own." I show them the gladiators and pink lighter I have in my pocket
"Haha! Nice!"

8 194The Demon Eye Gem
Life for a swamp goblin is usually pretty straightforward. Avoid the giant snakes, gators, wild boars, and the other creatures of the wetlands. Steal whatever supplies you need from the nearby farms, and go on raids against the nearest towns for the sheer thrill of causing chaos. Dizzy was just a goblin. A swamp goblin. The kind of guy that adventurers kill without a thought while on their way to their real adventure. Mischievous but kind, silly and not an actual threat to anyone. At least that was the case before the pirates came. Orcs with sharpened steel arrived on the shores of the goblin swamp. His friends and families were taken. Everything and everybody lost. Now Dizzy has to be more than he ever thought he could be. Now Dizzy must become an adventurer and fight to free his people. But when a murderous minotaur pirate and his crew of orc swashbucklers arrive in the swamp, intent on turning the coastal region into his own pocket kingdom, Dizzy must find a way to escape and rescue his tribe before they are used as expendable sword fodder. With fellow goblins Kitty and YDB at his side, what could possibly go wrong?
