Chapter Seven

New School, Same Bullshit

Craig Tucker

Craig hated lockers, it was proven in South Park Elementary and it was proven now. Too bad Token hadn't arrived yet, his magic left shoulder always got his locker unlocked.

"Are you still having problems with your locker?" Clyde had just walked in the building and over to the locker next to Craig. Clyde's voice had gotten deeper over the years, but he was still the same over-sensitive, perv jock Craig had become friends with. If there was a jock who was more of a perv than Clyde, then it would have to be Mr. Newly Sexy himself, Kenny McCormick. It happened at the start of sixth grade, he had actually grown out of that damn parka and had no choice but to ditch it for good. He now preferred orange sweaters and scarves, but now that Craig can fully understand him, he learned that he's been secretly flirting with Craig. Even Craig grew a few inches to his already tall height, he was even taller than Token now and the boys have dubbed him long-leg Craig. He wasn't found of the nickname.

"Where's Token?" Craig had asked him.

"Talking to Nichole," Clyde said pointing to the couple. Nichole Benet had arrived in the fifth grade and since she was the only other black person at the time, Cartman took it upon himself to set them up. There was a lot of weird shit that happened but they decided to stay together on their own terms. She was pretty too, with dark brown hair tied up in two puffballs and chocolate-brown eyes and Token was happy with her.

"Are you jealous your best friend isn't spending time with you?" Craig asked in his usually stoic voice.

"Craig," Clyde said as he wrapped his arm around Craig. "You know you're my true bestie."

"Let go of me before I punch you," Craig said as he turned back to his locker. Clyde laughed sheepishly as he removed his arm from around Craig's shoulder and watched and Craig kicked his locker. When he put the combination in again, it opened but Craig didn't know if it was out of fear. All lockers should fear Craig.

"Damn, Craig," Clyde said as Craig started exchanging books.

"It's not my fault I'm always getting shit lockers," Craig said.

"H-H-Hey guys." Craig gave a small smile from inside his locker before looking at Tweek. As it been since Tweek was busy in his father's coffee shop and Craig was busy with football camp. He still hated it, but his father was forcing him to stick with it.

"Hey, Tweekers," Craig said as he looked up from his locker. Tweek had grew a few inches since they've been hanging out, but he still wasn't taller than Craig. He was at least taller than Clyde. One of the things Craig was glad for was that he had taken the time to teach Tweek how to calm down long enough for him to button his shirt. "How was your summer?"

"Speaking of lovers," Clyde said mockingly. Craig glared and punched him in the arm. "Shit, Craig I was joking!"

"I get enough of that shit from Cartman, I don't need it from you," Craig said.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Craig rolled his eyes as Token walked over. Stan and Wendy were fighting again, an occurrence that happened at least once every week. Stan and his gang always caused trouble, it's been happening since even before Craig arrived. They had gotten Craig involved last year with some trip to Peru using the birthday money he had gotten from his grandmother. The ending result of this was that Craig got grounded by his father for three weeks for being reckless as "those boys." Ever since, he steered far away from their adventures. And things would get fucking worst since Stan fucking Marsh was the fucking quarterback and Cartman was on tight end. Kyle dropped out last year, his real calling was basketball, but he wasn't tall enough, so he still has to wait.

"What are they arguing about today?" Clyde asked Token as the four of them walked towards their first classes.

"She thinks Stan's cheating on her with Kyle," Token responded. Craig gave a slight laugh. It would definitely explain a lot about the two "Super Best Friends." It was in Craig's best interest to say out of it, though he didn't really like them that much anyway.


Stan Marsh

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Stan Marsh rolled his eyes, he was getting really tired of Wendy accusing him of cheating on her with Kyle, of all people. Kyle was like his best friend, why would he fucking love his best friend? Just because two people have been together since they were toddlers doesn't mean anything. He's been friends with Cartman and Kenny for just as long and she doesn't think he's cheating on her with them. Maybe Wendy had some kind of gripe towards Kyle, but that still didn't mean that Stan was starting to get tired of it.

"Wendy for the last time, I'm not cheating on you with Kyle," Stan said as he opened his locker. He put his favorite blue hat and brown jacket inside, revealing that he was wearing his South Park Cows jersey with his last name and the number 10 on the back. It was covering a black, long-sleeved shirt and it went well with his dark blue jeans.

"Then how come whenever I try to call, you hardly pick up?" she asked him. Stan combed his hands through his thick, black hair.

"Because they'd rather be at Kyle's house fucking." Stan placed his fingers in front of his eyes, Cartman loved putting his fucking two cents in every fight. The fatass chuckled as he took off his red jacket and placed it at the locker beside Kenny's. Kenny, who was behind him, punched Cartman in the arm and rolled his eyes.

"You know Wendy, if you ever want a change of scenery then you can come and hang out with me," Kenny said in his perverted way.

"Dude!" Stan exclaimed and Cartman laughed. Stan know Kenny wouldn't actually have sex with Wendy, but still the thought of it still made him mad. Especially since Kenny was known as the town's fuck-boy. He was the only one to lose his virginity, though nobody knew who the victim was.

"No thank you, Kenny," Wendy said as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm not cheating on you and I'm especially not cheating on you with Kyle," Stan stated. Kyle was probably already in class, he's been walking to school by himself for at least the past four months.

"Yeah, why would he cheat on you with a Jew?" Cartman imposed.

"Fuck you, Cartman," Stan said.

"I want to break up," Wendy said. Stan rolled his eyes, she always wanted to break up. These no longer came as surprises.

"Fine," Stan said as he slammed his locker. "Do you actually mean it this time or what?"

"Yes, don't fucking call me tonight, Stanley," Wendy said as she marched away. Stan rolled his eyes as she turned the corner towards class.

"Man, what a bitch," Cartman said as he and Kenny walked to class. "You coming, hippie?"

"I'll be there in a minute." Cartman rolled his eyes and once he and Kenny were gone, Stan went in the nearest bathroom and took the dark water bottle that he kept in his backpack. He sighed as he drunk the dark, alcoholic liquid inside. Nobody fucking cared about him.


Time: 12:15 P.M.

Craig Tucker

"So they broke up again?" Clyde asked Kenny. He was joining them today at their new, usual lunch-table. Craig was lucky that he and Tweek shared lunch times, he kinda missed hanging out with him over the summer. Token had a later lunch period though, but it was expected since he had more AP classes than the rest of them. "How long?"

"Wendy says it's for good but you know how it is with those two," Kenny said. "So Craig, do you want to make at your place tonight?"

"In your dreams, McCormick," Craig said while giving him the middle finger.

"Hey, Stoley!" Craig looked over as Clyde had called over Star Wars nerd, Kevin Stoley. Craig was the only one who knew Clyde had a crush on Kevin, even though he was going out with Bebe Stevens. Maybe Craig was Clyde's true best friend. That scared him. "Do you want to eat with us?"

Kevin turned a bright red. "No, thank you, Clyde. I've already agreed to sit with Bradley." And he hurried away before Clyde could try and convince him.

"Why do you want Stoley to come over and sit with us?" Kenny asked him.

"It's nice to expand our social circles, though I'm sure yours include a lot of girls," Clyde said.

"Speaking of spreading our horizons, what about you, Tweek?" Kenny asked Tweek. "Do you want to come and hang out with me tonight?"

"GAH!" Tweek exclaimed.

"Do you want me to kick your ass on the first day back?" Craig asked him. Kenny smiled as he finished his lunch and threw it in the nearest trashcan.

"I'm going to get one of you two, one day," Kenny said with a smile as he walked out the lunch room.

"Fuck you, McCormick."

"You know you want to, Tucker." Craig hated the first day back.
