Yes, I know. Craig and Cartman are NOT a normal couple in South Park. But hey, come on, they're pretty cute, right? I'm so proud someone is actually reading this. To show that you love me, give me a review, please. :) This is kind of fluffy, I'm trying to make it romantic…but not at its most. This story comes on slow. Everything is the same in South Park, except that they're in grade 8 now. Rated T for language.

Disclaimer: I wished I owned Cartman (joking), but, I don't own anything in South Park. Made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

CartmanxCraig

-----------------------------------------------------

Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny just got off the bus, and were heading for class, until they bumped into Craig. Of course, being 'rivals' they began to argue.

"Uggh, Craig, you're not cool, you big dickhole!" Cartman exclaimed, glaring at Craig.

Craig blinked.

"Yeah Craig! You're only flipping us off because you're jealous you're not in our gang!" Kyle crossed his arms, and Stan nodded in agreement.

"Phuck myeah," shouted Kenny in agreement.

"Oh, um…You guys are taking this way too seriously. The reason I and everybody else don't want to hang out with you guys is because you guys get into random shit that causes trouble. It's been the same since grade 3, and has carried onto grade 8." Craig said in his monotone voice, as usual. "Oh, and by the way-" Craig cut off his sentence by flipping off Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman.

"Fuck you Craig! Nobody likes you Craig! You big fat douche bag!" Cartman overacted, and started sticking his tongue and spitting at Craig, who was already walking away.

What assholes. I don't even like those kids! Craig thought, as he headed towards Mr. Garrison's class.

Token, Clyde and Tweek waved as Craig entered the room. Craig grinned a sheepishly, knowing that these kids were his true gang.

"Welcome to class Craig, please get your junk, and get to your god damn seat," Mr. Garrison ordered, pointing to Craig's desk.

Oh my god. Craig frowned, and gave the bird to Mr. Garrison, looking straight into his eyes.

"Craig Tucker! Did you just give me the middle finger?!"

"No."

"To the school counselor, right now!" Mr. Garrison ordered, shouting in anger.

Craig didn't say anything, and looked over to his friends. Token frowned and shrugged. Clyde tilted his head to the side, and mouthed 'What the fuck?' and Tweek, gave an annoying twitch.

"Ha-ha, serves you right Craig," Cartman giggled, proud of himself. Stan and Kyle raised an eyebrow, and Kenny went along with Cartman, and laughed softly.

Stupid Cartman, being such a smart ass! He really gets on my nerves! Sometimes I just want to…GRR! Craig squinted to the thought, and turned to Cartman.

Craig flipped off Cartman, for the second time.

"Craig!" Cartman shouted, and pretended to be very offended.

"Craig Tucker, you make your way to the school counselor! RIGHT NOW," Mr. Garrison was starting to get mad.

"Yes Mr. Garrison…"

--- --- ---

Craig was sitting outside the school counselor's door, waiting for Mr. Mackey, as usual.

He didn't really care what Mr. Mackey said to him, it always went in one ear, and out the other. Besides, he always said the same things: "Craig, don't flip people off. It's very disrespectful...m'kay?"

While waiting, Craig began to get lost in his own mind.

Hmm…when I really think of it, I don't really hate Stan, Kyle and Kenny. Come to think of it, Cartmans the only one that annoys me. Cartman's evil face washed past Craig's mind. He shuddered. I don't know why, but he always tries to bug me…or be a smart ass in front of me… or something. At least he doesn't treat me like Kyle-

Craig's idle thoughts were cut off by a voice.

"Uh…Mr. Craig Tucker? Please come in my office, m'kay?" It was Mr. Mackey, wagging his index finger to tell him to come into his office.

"Yes Mr. Mackey."

--- --- --- --- ---

"Okay Mr. Mackey, I understand," Craig lied, as he crossed his fingers behind his back. "I promise to never flip off anybody again."

"M'kay Craig! That's good, now get back to class….m'kay?" Mr. Mackey smiled, and led Craig out of his office.

Dumb teachers will never tell me what to do, Craig thought making his way towards Mr. Garrisons door. He knocked slowly, and opened the door.

"Oh, it's you Craig, have you decided to behave yourself?" Mr. Garrison said, crossing his arms.

"Why, yes Craig, have you decided to change?" It was that same annoying voice that was always arguing with Craig, over the stupidest things. Eric Cartman.

Craig rolled his eyes, and didn't respond. He knew he'd get in trouble by Mr. Garrison. Craig made his way to his desk, and forgot that Cartman sat right next to him. Craig sighed; he was going to be arguing with Cartman all class.

"Okay children, now we're going to start with some math. Who can tell me how to write this question as an expression?" Mr. Garrison asked, looking around the classroom for hands.

Kyle raised his hand, and said something, but that's were Craig got distracted and trailed off.

"So, Craig, go into deep shit for giving me the finger?" Cartman whispered, smirking evilly.

Craig gasped. "Shut up fat ass! Leave me alone!" Craig said, a little bit too loud, and thought he was caught by Mr. Garrison, but he didn't notice.

Cartman scoffed. "At least I have an ass, Craig."

"EXCUSE ME?!" Craig exclaimed, with a tint of red on his cheeks. He didn't expect that one.

"You heard me," Cartman said smartly, straightening his back, and smirking.

Craig glanced over at Clyde, and gave him a 'did-you-just-hear-what-Cartman-said?!' look.

Clyde's eyes widened and he nodded.

Cartman was one fucking messed up kid, and Craig decided to ignore him for the rest of class. It didn't work.

OKIE DOKIE, that's all for the first chapter kiddos. Remember, never to give Cartman or your teacher the finger, unless you're willing to get into deep shit. This is ONLY the first chapter, so don't be upset if the romance doesn't kick in. Be patient. Thanks for reading, I enjoy reading reviews! :)
