"Stan?"
I turn my head on my pillow toward the knock I just heard on my door. I ignore it.
"Stan, it's me, Kenny. We need to talk."
Oh crap. Kenny? What the hell does he want? I haven't spared a thought for him since Wendy at lunch. I suppose he thinks I'm gonna forgive him.
"Stan, I'm opening the door."
Shit! Did I seriously leave it unlocked earli- yep, there he is. I face the ceiling again so I don't have to look at him. He was right about Wendy lying. How can I be mad at him? I know- I know she isn't cheating on me though. There's my excuse.
"Stan, I'm sorry." Kenny sits on the bed. "I'm sorry that I accused Wendy of lying and cheating on you. It's none of my business. And I'm sorry if I made you think that she actually is, and that's why you blew up at her at lunch."
"She was lying though," I say, still facing the ceiling.
"Yeah, but maybe it's like you said. Maybe it's something she doesn't feel like talking about." Kenny says. I can tell he's really trying to make me forgive him.
"Okay," I say.
"So…" Kenny says, scratching the back of his head, "Are we cool now?"
I shrug. "Sure, I guess so." Kenny claps.
"What are you going to do about Wendy?" he asks.
"I don't know," I say truthfully.
"You gonna call her?"
"I don't know," I repeat.
"You want me to leave you alone?" he asks, laughing slightly.
"I don't care," I say, keeping up the pattern but making sure he knows that that's a yes.
Kenny laughs and makes to walk out the door.
"Kenny?" I ask, finally turning my head toward him.
"Yeah?"
"If you tell a girl you love her, and she says 'me too', what does that mean?"
"Umm… she loves herself because of her total awesomeness and her ability to love you back," Kenny says, and I laugh. "You know she does, right? Love you?"
"Yeah, I guess," I say, still laughing a little.
"Good," he says, and he walks out the door.
I lie there for a while after Kenny leaves, staring at the door in thought. Well, if Kenny says she loves me, then it's obviously true, right? Yeah. I'm glad I talked to him. After Wendy said 'me too' I wanted so badly to ask Kenny what it meant. Obviously, I couldn't until now. Now I feel a little better. I decide to call Wendy like Kenny said. I pick up the phone and dial her number.
"Hello?" I hear.
"Wendy," I say quickly, happy that she answered.
"Oh. Stan. Hey." She says, not as happy as I am.
"Listen. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blow up at you like I did. I was just a little stressed out. The whole phone thing, and I was mad at Kenny, and- and- I'm just sorry, okay? Really sorry." I apologize. I really hope she doesn't get more pissed off.
There's a long pause on the phone. Then Wendy speaks again. "No, Stan. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you yesterday. I'll admit it, I did. I just don't want to talk about what's going on right now. But I should have told you that, instead of lying."
I smile. I'm so happy that she confirmed me and Kenny's thoughts. She doesn't wanna talk about it. I can respect that. "That's cool Wendy. It wasn't really my business anyway."
"No, no, it was! You're my boyfriend! I'm just glad you tried to help me by asking. You're so great," she quickly says.
"Thanks Wendz, so are you," She giggles when I call her 'Wendz'. I haven't called her that in a long time.
"Gotta go, Stanny," she says.
"Okay. Wendy, I love you." Crap! I said it again. But please say it back, please, please, please, please!
"You too." And once again, she hangs up.
GOD DAMN IT! You too? YOU TOO? Why the hell is it 'you too' now? Why does she have to be so God damn mysterious? I can't stand it! I replay the conversation in my head, changing 'you too' to 'I love you too'. There we go, I think to myself.
Haha. The whole 'you too' thing at the end was supposed to be funny. You too. Hahaha. I'm just happy Stan and Kenny are homies again! But this isn't the end! No matter how much you want it to end, it's not over! Aw crap, now I wanna sing that song! "It's not over / cause a part of me is blah blah blah blah blah / This love is killin me" hahaha I LOVE that song! It's so perdy!
