"You sure he'll be fine?"

"Yeah he drove us here in his truck, it's fine"

I looked out the window and groaned as I put my head in my hands from embarrassment. God I'm such an idiot. He probably hates me now and never wants to speak to me again.

"So, Uh" Wendy spoke up, "you wanna tell me what happened now?"

"Uuuggh fine, mom" I groaned

"Fuck you dude" she said chuckling

"So basically what happened was that people kept making memes about my totally sensible safety precautions, so I had to get away from all the cameras and people, so I went into some room, I don't know if it was Shelly's old room, or a guest bedroom or both but when I walked in I saw Craig in there so we started chatting a little bit and you could obviously tell he was drunk as absolute fuckery because he was being super weird and then he got super weird and sad. He went on and on about how he was a terrible person, and how he didn't deserve love and how nobody likes him and I didn't wanna put up with that shit because obviously I like him so I kept telling him to stop but he wouldn't so I kissed him and then I ran away like a little third grader and now now he hates me."

There was a pause.

"You need to take a breath after that?" She said giggling again

I actually did. That was a long ramble.

"How did he react?" Wendy questioned

"He kinda just sat there for like two seconds but then... uhm..." I Said, blushing, trying to recount his face

"And then?"

"He started to kiss back? I think?"

"Okay, so he definitely doesn't hate you" she reassured me, laughing

"Are you absolutely sure? Cause I think I just threw a bomb into our friendship. And I basically just started talking to him too, we've started being friends only like three months ago" I told her "so it's not like he has much to lose"

She just kept her eyes on the road, letting me vent.

"Plus it's summer so it'd be pretty easy to ignore me."

She kept silent for a while, thinking. Then she finally found the right words

"Tweek do you think Craig's a good friend?"

That's an...odd question..

"Yeah I guess?"

"Then I really don't think this'll matter that much. Craig's a very logical guy. Though he's not my favorite person in the world, I know he's going to come through and be a good friend. He might not feel the same way, but I really don't think that'll matter to him."

...

"Thanks, that...actually kinda helps" I said giving her a warm smile

"You're welcome. Now, we're just 30 minutes away from your house, you wanna order a pizza?" Wendy smiled "my treat"

A grin grew across my face

"Pepperoni?" I asked

Me and Wendy sat in my living room with about a thousand pillows and blankets covering us. It was cold as fuck in here.

We had die hard on the tv, and pizza on our lap. I tried to keep Craig off my mind, at least for tonight. My parents are on a date night so I probably won't see them until tomorrow morning.

We just chewed in silence until Wendy cleared her throat to get my attention. Or her throat was scratchy, either way she spoke.

"So Tweek," she said "at the party, you weren't the only one making a move on someone..."

...

"Huh?"

She put her hands in her face "God I worded that so weird."

She took a breath

"What I'm saying is, Bebe kissed me"

"Oh! Oooh Okay" I Said "what did you do?"

"Kissed her back" her voice broke.

"Haha gay. But why her back?"

She glared at me and I laughed

"You know I'm kidding" I returned to the movie

She went back to the movie too. Then she looked at me again quickly. Then back to the movie, then she opened her mouth like she was going to say something but she returned to the tv.

"If you have something to say then you know you can." I Said.

"It's just.." she continued "'haha gay'? That's it?"

"You've dated other girls before?" I told her

It's not like this was some big coming out scene. Why's she being so awkward?

"Yeah but not Bebe. Not my best friend since 2nd grade. I was shocked when I found out she liked me but you're not?"

"No? It was pretty fuckin obvious she liked you. I just never said anything."

"Really? You knew? Why didn't you say something?"

"Cause I learned to mind my own fucking business" I took a big bite of pizza and glued my eyes to John McClane.

Wendy just laughed and ate some more food.

About 15 minute stuff later the movie ended and I got up and put the rest of the food in the fridge.

"I'm gonna call my dad back and ask him to stay the night" Wendy said, walking upstairs

I turned the tv off and grabbed all the blankets and brought them back up to my room.

"What'd he say?" I asked her once I reached the top of the stairs.

"He said fine but I have to be back home before he leaves for work"

"What times that? Has to be pretty late if he's up at midnight huh?"

"Yeah he goes to work at about 11 in the morning" she told me walking into my bedroom

"Would you rather sleep on the couch?" I asked "the carpet in here is really old"

"Or it just soaked up all your cum because you refuse to wear a sock" she said grabbing a blanket from my hand

"Hey! I don't have that many pairs of socks!"

"Gross, I was kidding. You actually do that?" She said

Wendy left before I could reply.

I fell onto my bed and took off my jeans and threw them in the direction of my laundry basket. I missed. I never was good at basketball.

I got into the covers and stared at my ceiling. What a long day. So much has happened in the past three months.

I closed my eyes and my heart began to pump as I was transported back to earlier tonight when we kissed. I put my finger to my lips to try and remember the sensation. His lips were chapped and small and really really warm. Like weirdly warm. I think his body produces an unhealthy amount of heat? A light bulb appeared above my head. Craig doesn't hate me. He wouldn't. Because he would've pushed me off if he did! He also wouldn't kiss back! I'm so smart, I should be a detective. Though he was really drunk... he probably won't even remember tonight. He got pretty plastered.

I heard a buzz from my night stand and I took my phone.

Pocoyo: hey i know it's late but can we hang out somewhere tomorrow? I wanna talk to u

Okay so he probably didn't forget.
