Craig made it through the rest of the day. He had no idea how, but he did it. After an awkwardly quite lunch with Tweek and friends, he just shut himself off. He avoided everyone else. He avoided their eyes and didn't listen to their gossip since most of it was about him. He never pictured coming out of the closet would be this bad. People grind at him, congratulating him for 'scoring two blond hotties.' He ignored them. People also glared at him, muttering insults like 'fag' and 'cheater'. He ignored them too.
He was walking around like a zombie all day, thinking that things couldn't possibly be worse.
He didn't even acknowledge Cartman when he confronted him. "Hey fag! How's to going with your new butt buddie!" He teased. Craig just brushed it off and kept moving. The only thing really on his mind was that now Tweek thought he was in love with Pip. It was like a living nightmare. Craig knew he had to do something before all this got out of hand.
He was going to confess to Tweek, he decided. It was the best thing he could do. He would be happy to know that the only person he truly cared about knew that he loved him, even if he doesn't feel the same.
After school, Craig rushed down the hall to Tweek's locker, but he wasn't there. He searched the hallways and classroom but with no luck. He couldn't find Tweek anywhere. Craig decided he would drive over to Tweek's house latter. He walked out of the school and into the parking lot to find his car. when he found it, he was surprised to see someone waiting there. Thinking it was Tweek, he ran over.
Craig's hopes where dashed when he saw that it was Pip leaning against his car. The blond smiled at him. Craig just grimaced back. He thought maybe he should let Pip know about his plan and how he used him. He owed him that much."Pip listen-"
"Your taking me out tonight." Pip cut him off. This stopped Craig cold.
"What?" Craig stammered. His eye grew wide. Oh no, does Pip really like me? Craig wondered.
Then the frightening answer came back: No. Pip didn't like Craig back at all. He folded his arms over his chest and stared up at Craig blankly. His Expression was emotionless yet stern. He barely looked like himself. Sure the features where all the same but his expression seemed so cold and so un-Pip like. He didn't look like the cheerful, happy Brit he always is. This was a totally different person.
Pip closed his eyes and sighed inwardly. He opened his eyes and said."You see Craig, I need you." Sweat drops formed on Craig's forehead. He felt his heart in his throat as Pip continued."It's not that I have feelings for you, it's just that ever since this mornings little show, I've become well, popular! I guess people like watching drama unfold right in front of them."
He rests his chin in his palm while holding his elbow with his other hand."Now I know you don't really like me, but all I need you to do is let me trot you around like a trophy-"
"W-wait, how do you know I don't really like you?" Craig asked, thoughtfully shocked. Pip smirked.
"Oh please Craig, it's so obvious you like that Tweek fellow." Craig's heart dropped. How could he possibly know he loved Tweek? "I always see you staring at him with those adoring eyes of yours and you always seemed so happy around him. It's a wonder why Bebe didn't notice anything at all. Perhaps she was in denial about having a gay boyfriend."
Awestruck, Craig's gaw dropped. He watched with wide eyes as Pip crossed his arms again and smirked at him. "Pick me up at seven." He said before walking away.
Before Craig had a chance to object, Pip added "Oh, and if you don't do as I say, I'll tell Bebe you just used me as a decoy and I'll tell her who your real love is." And then he was gone.
Pip knew Bebe would do anything in her power to hurt the one that took he boyfriend away from her, and he knew that Craig loved Tweek and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him. He's blackmailing me! Craig realized. Pip was blackmailing him and there was nothing he could do about it. The last thing he thought before getting into his car and driving off was "Just who is this kid?"
