027. Song Lyrics Pt. 2

"Alright, settle down class" Mr. Mellow said, turning to the class and putting his hands on his hips. He narrowed his eyes at the tenth graders.

"You have an assignment over the weekend" He waited for the groan of the student's disappointment and couldn't help but smile when it came. "You are to find a song that you think represents something no body knows about you and you will sing it in front of the class" He reveled in the horrified look of most of the students. He even laughed evilly when the bell rang.

Craig managed to restrain himself until the bell rang and then promptly flipped off Mellow before walking out of the classroom to meet up with Clyde, Token and Tweek. Token and Clyde were grumbling over the assignment and Tweek was sipping his coffee. The four boys then began their walk home. They all were old enough to get their licenses but no one in South Park got their licenses until it was absolutely necessary.

"Fuck music class" Clyde grumbled, looping his thumbs in the straps of his book bag. Tweek and Token nodded in agreement and Craig couldn't help but speak up.

"I second the motion" He said flipping off the school behind them and looking at it while walking backwards. Tweek bit his lip in an effort not to tell Craig that he could very well fall and break his neck by walking backwards. He had been making an effort not to be as spazzy and paranoid lately but it was only resulting in worse panic attacks and a severely chewed up lip.

"I'll see you guys later" Craig said, waving to the other three boys and walking into his house. He kicked off his shoes as soon as he was inside and quickly bounded up the stairs to the small computer room across from his own room. He dropped his book bag beside the chair and rummaged through his hoodie pocket for his iPod.

He rolled his eyes when he saw that his sister had been on the computer and had downloaded her own music. He moved the mouse to close out of the program but before he could one of the songs caught his eye.

"Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop," Craig read out loud. Curiously, he brought up the Internet browser and found the lyrics to the song. However, he was soon blushing quite involuntarily.

"That works" He said, transferring the song over to his iPod and then slipping the headphones in to listen to it while he shut down the computer like his sister should have.

Monday at school, Craig's stomach was practically doing flips. God he hated this teacher. Without realizing it, he flipped the teacher and gave a death glare to the back of his head. The damn motherfucker had decided that they would go in order of first names alphabetically. Meaning that the only people who were before him were Clyde and Bebe. Damn Butters wasn't even before him since his real name was Leopold. Fuck.

"Craig its your turn" Mr. Mellow called out, snapping Craig from his daze and causing him to flip the teacher off once more. Mr. Mellow just rolled his eyes and Craig stood up. He put his hands behind his back and folded them together in an effort not to flip off every single person and thing in the room.

"I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come too…

I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you"

Craig sang softly at first, barely being heard over the music. He tried his hardest not to look at the person he was singing for. He knew that that would be such a giveaway that he wouldn't be able to survive it. So instead, he looked over the others heads and stared at the wall behind them.

"No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew…
Ahh…"

Craig took a deep breath while the music played and he felt his cheeks flaring again. He knew that he was basically confessing his feelings for that certain person and his mind wouldn't let him relax. Even if he had, had these feelings for over a year now he couldn't help but be nervous.

"I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
now I'm shining too

Because, oh because
I've fallen quite hard over you

If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone"

God he felt like an idiot. He really wished that he could take back the song now. He knew that he couldn't so he just kept on singing. With every pause however, he took deep breaths in an attempt to keep from passing out. Fuck he was an idiot.

"I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while, I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while, I never knew

All of the while, All of the while it was you
You…
You…
You…"


When he was done singing he looked straight at Tweek, knowing that he was giving himself away. He didn't care anymore though and then walked back to his desk. If anyone didn't know what he was singing about now than they didn't get to know. Craig sunk back into his seat and pulled his hat down over his eyes. He was bright red but thankfully his hat covered most of the blush.

He felt someone put something on his desk and looked down, pulling the hat back up to its normal spot. It was a note. Craig opened the note to find Tweek's unmistakable scrawl that he called handwriting.

Do you mean it?

Yes No

The no was so horribly written that it took even Craig, who was used to Tweek's handwriting, a while to figure it out. When he did he quickly circled the yes and tapped the blond boy in front of him. Tweek took the note quickly and smiled gently. Craig couldn't see this however.

What he did see though was just how red Tweek's ears had gotten.


I heard this song and I just couldn't resist!
