His Jars of Hyacinths (STYLE)

6

POV: Stan

i'm concerned.

things this past week have been.. strange.

1) Kyle seems more distant.

i don't know why, but i hate it so much. i feel like he's drifting from me, and i don't want to lose him. he means a lot to me, more than Wendy. no homo though

2) Wendy seems distant too.

is it distancing month? covid returns? because i'm feeling more isolated from her too. she doesn't message me as much, and she doesn't talk much either. i should prepare for a breakup note, shouldn't i.

3) Kenny's being weirdly nice

he seems really involved in my love-life suddenly. i don't know why, but he really wants me to break up with Wendy. Maybe he's trying to sabotage my relationship, or maybe he's this omnipotent cupid variant trying to save my ass from heartbreak. well, whatever it is, it's weird.

4) Kenny and Kyle have secrets from me.

it is as the title is, i can't really elaborate. they're hiding something from me, i know it. they keep whispering and disappearing all the time together, even during classes, and the teacher doesn't even bat an eye. maybe they're dating? maybe they keep sneaking off to the bathroom to fuck or something. oh god that feels weird to even think about.

5) do i have a secret admirer?

i keep seeing my favourite flower - hyacinths - everywhere, which is weird. they bloom in spring, and it's summer. plus, they aren't rooted in the ground. they're just... there. fucking weird, i hope i don't have some kind of stalker leaving subtle hints to their romantic feelings to me or anything. did i mention theres blood on the flowers

6) Cartman seems even fatter than before

somehow, someway. he just.. expands. like the universe, but the universe relies on dark matter, and he relies on cheesy poofs.

it's now thursday 7th june, and i'm hoping to go and meet up with Kyle, to make up for the whole ditching-him-for-Wendy thing.

i pull out my phone, and open his contact to message him.

SUPER BEST FRIEND

i lay down on my bed, turning off my phone and smiling at my ceiling. finally, some bonding time with my super best friend. it's felt like forever since we did something together, and maybe this is the opportunity i need to convince him to share his little secret with me?

i grin happily, excited for the day to come.

i guess i'll just let it come.
