Are You Bored Yet? - Wallows

A few days after, you were walking the long way home from school. You did most times, you liked walking on the train tracks and going to the lake, sometimes you walked out of town and walked for miles.

You had your ear buds in listening to music and silently singing along to the lyrics as you walked on the street, swinging your arms and moving your feet to the music. You remembered back when you were in the car with Stan and you got a sudden sensation of happiness.

You heard a car honk loudly and you turned, moving to the side. You removed one of your ear buds and saw Stan was driving the car.

He pulled up beside you and smiled as the car window slowly rolled down.

"Need a ride?" he asked smiling.

You got in the passenger seat and he started to drive. As you looked out the window, Stanley kept looking over at you.

"What?" you asked turning to look at him.

"Why don't you smile?" he asked still looking at you.

You shrugged "I dunno, not everything is funny I guess" you said looking back outside the window.

Stanley slightly laughed at your comment.

"I bet you have a nice smile" he said side eyeing you.

"Yeah well, make me laugh really hard one day and you'll see how pretty it is" you said sarcastically.

As he kept driving, they came alongside Syd as she was walking and Stanley stopped the car next to her. He asked her if she wanted a ride and she hopped in the back seat.

"So Syd" you asked looking out the window "How's life?"

She shrugged "Normal"

You turned in your seat to look back at her "Nothing is normal" you told her jokingly. She took in your words and smiled back at you.

Stanley had to suddenly stop the car and said he had to drop something off. He exchanged something with a man at a garage. For you it was a usual thing for Stanley to do, but Syd didn't know what was going on.

"What's he doing?" she asked.

"He does it all the time, his little "business"" you said.

As he came back in the car Syd asked him "So are you like a drug dealer?"

"I have clients" he said.

You smirked at him and he winked at you.

He drove back to his house and you all went to his room. You put on some music as Sydney was checking out his room. Twenty minutes later, you were all high.

You were laying on the floor along side them and you were laughing. You were laughing really hard at something you didn't even remember. Something that Stan said about jellyfish.

"No way! She smiles" he said looking over at you.

You punch his arm playfully and looked back up at the ceiling.

"Okay wait, would you rather tell me, your deepest darkest secret .." he started to say but you cut him off.

"Nope, can't tell ya that" you said.

"Why not?" he asked questionably.

"Because it's my deepest darkest secret, the whole reason why I can't tell you" you said.

Suddenly Syd sat up and so did you and Stan.

"Okay I'll tell you my secret but, you cannot tell anyone" she said to both of you.

You and Stan look over at each other and raised an eyebrow.

"I have pimples on my thighs" she said.

You bursted out laughing.

"Wait seriously?" Stan asked laughing along.

"Why?" you asked choking from all the laughter.

"I don't know why I just do" she said smiling.

"Well okay wait" you said. You started to un button your button down red shirt and undid the buttons all the way down to your chest.

"Woah" Stan said.

There were a few pimples on your chest. You all laughed. Stan was a little taken aback by your actions, he never thought you would do that and neither did you but then he suddenly got up. He took off his shirt and showed all the pimples on his back. You and Syd laughed.

"And, it goes all the way to my ass" he said. "I win"

Syd then got up and she took off her pants and showed the pimples on her thighs. You and Stan both looked at them and laughed.

But when you looked up at Stan, he was standing up and looking at Syd. You saw that they were having a moment and that made you lose your smile.

"I'm uh.. I'm gonna go" you said. You started to stand up and button up your shirt.

"Wait you dont have to le-" Stan started to say as he tried to grab your hand but you cut him off.

"No I really should" you put on your jacket and started to head up the stairs.

"See you" you said in a sad rushing voice.

You ran back home and went up to your room. Once you slammed the door shut you fell onto your bed face first. You didn't cry. You didn't want to cry. But you felt really sad and you fell asleep that way.
