"are you kidding me" Becca says, "you two would never smoke, you would be too scared"
"yeah we do" Skylar replies
"haha Abby get a load of this, these two think they smoke, they probably smoke shisha and that’s it" she yells out to Abby and everyone in their group looks over at us, including PJ... could this day get any worse.
Abby runs over to where the three of us are talking.
yep the day got worse, I’m so nervous, what do i say. i grab ahold of Skylar’s hand behind her back and squeeze it tight trying to hide my nerves.
"these two recon they smoke cigarettes" Becca says to Abby
"alright then, prove it" Abby says
"prove what" Skylar replies
"smoke this cigarette" Abby says
oh no, this has gone too far, exactly what i didn’t want to happen today happened. At least we are talking to them right?
"fine" Skylar says
i nudge Skylar in the arm but she ignores me and grabs the cigarette
Skylar’s POV.
i grab the cigarette, its smaller than i imagined, they always looked so big when they were in other peoples mouths. From watching everyone else do it, i put it in my mouth and light it up. as soon as i light it, i get a big blow of smoke come into my mouth. it tastes horrible. it tastes quite like how it smells but worse. its so bitter, like really strong coffee but really bad at the same time. i can feel it filling my lungs, i feel like I’m gonna get cancer. i cough a bit but blow it out as fast as i can before having to suck in again. yuck, it’s making me light headed but i have to prove them wrong, even though they are right, i have to make them think they are wrong.
before i could blow out my second puff, Becca grabs it out of my mouth and places it in hers before giving me the middle finger and walking away with Abby.
as soon as she turns her back and is far enough to not hear me anymore, i cough and Macey gives me a horrified look.
"did you actually just do that" Macey says in horror
"yeah, i think i did" i reply
"was it" she pauses then says "gross?"
"it was disgusting, i never want to do that again!" i say in disgust
"you were so brave" she hugs me, "I’m so glad i didn’t have to do it though, i would have backed out like a coward, seeing my dad smoke all the time was enough for me" she says and her voice is a bit sad from the mention of her dad.
"well I’m glad that’s over with, do you think they will consider taking us in now?" i say
"hmmmmmm, i don’t know, maybe" she replies
"can you pass me my lunch, i need to get the taste out of my mouth"
"Hahaha yeah sure" she says and laughs
"but whatever you do, don’t tell my dad, he will kill me!" i say as I bite into my ham and cheese roll, if my dad finds out, he will probably make me move schools! He is so strict since he is a policeman after all!
"yeah sure, i promise" she says
"thanks, love you, you’re my best friend in the whole world! i can’t wait to move to another country together after school! I’m so excited! EEEEPP!!!!!"
"oh my god! same! EEEEEEPP!"
Macey's POV.
the bell rings and its time to go back to class. I give Skylar a piece of gum that i put in my bag this morning incases of an emergency, this was an emergency............ I guess
we go to our lockers and grab our books before walking to our first class as grade twelve’s.
"i can’t believe we are seniors!" i say with excitement
"same! I’m so excited to finish school but i will miss all the teachers, especially Mr. Hemmingsworth, or should i say, Mr. Sexy haha" Skylar says and giggles
"SKYLAR! HAHAHAHA" i say with a high-pitched voice as we joke around.
room 38 is written on the door when we arrive at our first class. Science is a really interesting subject, it’s so fun! It’s me and Skylar’s favorite subject and its good because we take it together so we keep each other company.
our science teacher walks into the classroom and he is so adorable, he is one of my favorite teachers, mostly because he is so cute and little and old. His name is Mr. Woody. Even his name is cute! Me and Mr. Woody get along really well and he always gives me good marks!
the lesson goes by quickly and before i know it the bell rings and its time to go home. i have to walk home today because my mum is still at work and Skylar’s dad wants her home after school to look after her little brother.
i say goodbye to Skylar and tell her that i will see her tomorrow for school as i start walking away towards my house. It’s only about a 10-minute walk but luckily i had a pair of earphones in my pocket so i decide to play some music. The familiar sound of ‘Tristan Prettyman - say anything’ comes into my ears and it soothes me. I love this song, it calms me down so much and i sing to it as i walk home.
