Jellyfish & Confessions

The two followed her outside, especially Leilani since she was willing to see if Syd wanted to talk.  "Hey", Stanley said awkwardly as he and Leilani sat beside her. "So, panic attacks, huh? My mom used to get those, I mean, she probably still does. It sucks that you get them too".

"Why are you guys still talking to me?", Syd asked.

"Because everyone else is boring", replied Stanley. He took out his tin container and pulled out a blunt. "I've never smoked," said Sydney.

"Do you want to come to try?", he asked. She took the offer and smoke a joint.

The three continued to drive off with Stanley and Sydney high and Leilani being the only sober one. "So, you wanna go to the game?", Stanley asked Sydney.

"Absolutely not", Sydney said, grinning.

Later that day, they sat on the other side of the field, away from the bleachers and watched the high school football game. "I'm surprised that people even come to these things. It's so lame", Syd said.

"It's the opposite of lame, Syd. That's theater. It's live theater", explained Stanley. "High school on a Friday night. What could be more tragic? more shakespearian? That about it, the moment the lights come up, you know it's not going to end well. Take Mr. Bradley Lewis. His best scenario is what? Managing an insurance company were you get to, I don't know, be employee of the month? I mean these are people that will actually attend the five, ten, twenty year reunion because aside from this, nothing else is gonna happen".

At one point, one of the competing football players roughly knock him to the ground and the coach blew his whistle. As soon as he got back on his feet, he took off his helmet and slammed it to the ground. "Yeah, Bradley, woo!", Stanley cheered sarcastically.

"Yeah, this is definitely worth the audience", said Leilani sarcastically.

After leaving the game, the three of them went back to Stanley's house and hung out in his basement. Syd and Stanley continued to smoke weed and them, along with Leilani, laid on the ground and engaged in random conversations. They started playing a game of "would you rather..". "Would you rather be an eagle or a jellyfish?", Stanley asked Syd.

"That's such a non question", said Syd.

"What do you mean?"

"Dude, eagle hands down"

"What about you, Leilani, which one would you be?", Stanley asked her.

"Eagle", she shrugged. "They symbolize power and are majestic creatures"

"Nice", replied Syd. "Would you rather have a superpowers or-"

"Okay, I'm pretty sure every person on the planet would pick superpowers", Stanley said.

"So what would they be?"

"I'd most definitely be a shapeshifter. Not like go inside the girls locker room or anything creepy. I'd wanna turn in to like a giant ass jellyfish", Stanley said.

They all laughed together. "What is it with you and jellyfish?", Leilani giggled.

"Why not?", Stan replied and signed as he explained. "I read somewhere that once humans destroy themselves, this planet isn't going to belong to the roaches. How could it? I mean, roaches aren't shit".

"So what? We're going to become, like, the planet of jelly?", Syd asked.

"Yep, and I will be their leader, and we'll be battling roaches and we'll swim in the deep blue sea".

"That would be cool", said Leilani.

After a while, it was Syd's turn to ask the next question. "Would you rather tell me your deepest darkest secret or-", Stanley began, but Syd cut him off.

"I'll tell you guys my secret, but when I do, you can't tell anyone", she said. They both agreed.

"I've got pimples on my thighs".

"What?", asked Leilani.

"Seriously? Why?", Stanley asked.

"I don't know why. I just do, okay?", asked Syd defensively.

"Let us see them", Stanley said.

"No, it's so gross", she laughed.

"We won't judge", said Leilani.

"I've got you beat, watch this", he pulled his shirt off and showed him his back pimples. "It's bacne!".

"Oh my god", Leilani chuckled.

"Holy shit, that's disgusting!", Syd exclaimed.

"Uh-huh, and it goes all the way into my ass..all the way inside my cheeks", Stanley said.

"You think that's weird? I have a mole under my belly button " Leilani lifted her shirt, revealing a dark brown mole under her belly button.

"That is a weird place to have a mole", Syd said as she looked at it.

"Hold on, Stanley Barber and Leilani Hernandez, check this out", Syd said, pulling down her jeans to show three red pimples on her thighs.

"Wow, I could play connect the dots with those", said Leilani.

"Yeah, that is brutal. I mean, I have never seen something so disgusting", said Stanley.

"I know, right?", Syd asked.

Later, Syd went back home and it was, once again, just Stanley and Leilani. The two of them sat on the couch and continued to talk.
"I can't believe I showed you guys my mole", Leilani laughed and Stanley laughed along with her.

"Yeah, trust me, I've done worst", he said. They sat in silence for a while.

"Leilani, can I tell you something?", he asked her.

"Sure. You can tell me anything", she said.

"The truth is..I..I like you", he said. "I know this is sudden, but it's just I that I think you're beautiful and sweet, and I like being around you. If you don't feel the same way, I can totally understand, but I just thought you should know".

Leilani was left speechless, which almost worried Stanley since he wasn't sure what her reaction was going to be. She had already felt a closeness with him and was not expecting him to feel the same way. "Wow..", she said. "Yeah", he said, nodding his head.

"Can I..tell you something as well?", Leilani asked him.

"Yes"

"I kind of feel the same way too", she spoke.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded her head. "I almost wasn't sure if you thought I was perfect enough for you", he said.

"You're perfect enough for me"

He leaned closer to her until his lips connected with hers. She felt the overwhelming feeling of butterflies fluttering in her stomach. If felt almost as if nothing else around them mattered, but the two of them in that moment. When they broke away from the kiss, the two of them smiled at each other. Stanley lightly cupped her cheek and leaned in to kiss her again. This time, the kiss became a bit more passionate.
