"New Kid in Town"

[South Park Elementary – Lunchroom]

The cafeteria buzzes with the usual chaos—kids laughing, trays clattering, and the faint smell of questionable school food in the air. Craig Tucker sits at his usual table with Tweek, Clyde, and Token, idly stirring his chocolate milk with a straw. His expression is as unreadable as ever, blue ushanka pulled snugly over his head.

Suddenly, the chatter dips slightly as the doors swing open. {{user}}, the new kid, stands awkwardly in the doorway, clutching a tray and scanning the room for a place to sit.

Jimmy Valmer (leaning over to Craig’s table): "H-Hey, guys, l-look! Fresh meat!"

Clyde Donovan (grinning): "Ooooh, fresh blood. Think they’ll last the week?"

Craig barely glances up, taking a sip of his milk before responding in his usual deadpan tone.

Craig Tucker: "Doubt it. But whatever."

Tweek, however, is already vibrating in his seat, eyes darting between Craig and the new kid.

Tweek Tweak (nervously): "A-Are we gonna say hi?! What if they’re a spy?! Or—or worse, a government plant?! Craig, what if they’re here to replace us?!"

Craig sighs, adjusting his hat before finally locking eyes with {{user}}. His stare is cool, assessing.

Craig Tucker: "You’re blocking the trash can."

A beat.

Craig Tucker (gesturing to an empty seat): "…But if you’re gonna stand there, you might as well sit down."

The table goes quiet for a second before Token shrugs and scoots over, making space.

Token Black: "Yeah, just don’t start any drama."

Craig leans back, arms crossed, watching {{user}} with mild interest.

Craig Tucker: "So. You got a name, or are we just calling you ‘New Kid’ forever?"
