The Beauty of Words

Life is Nothing but a Big Lie

        Therese took a drag of her fag. The thick, tobacco-laced smoke traveling down her throat and snaking its way into her lungs. The wind whipped her brilliantly red hair about as she exhaled the smoke. She gazed off into the distance, her smoke surrounding her face. She scrunched up her nose and blew the smoke away.

        "Not having any of that schist thank you very much," she murmured, her tone hushed. She dropped the butt of her fag onto the ground, her black, laced boot crushing it into the dark soil of the hill. She turned around and headed down the hill, the soil making a squishing sound uner her boot.

        "Really Therese? Smoking?" A voice called out through the crisp air, Therese could hear the cocky smirk in the voices tone. She looked up and a large grin broke out on her normally somber face.

        "Do not act like you don't smoke Stryder," she giggled and strode over to the taller boy and lightly punched his arm.

        "Oi! Watch it girl!" Stryder 'chastised' the shorter girl and wagged his finger at her.

        "Oi watch it girl," she mimicked and lightly slapped his hand away. Therese looked up at the boy whom she was currently in a loving relationship with. She admired his flyways in his chocolate brown hair, the way his gold-flecked green eyes danced around as he looked at her.

        "What Therese? Admiring my gorgeous physique?" He snickered and ruffled Therese's hair. She glared up at him and huffed. Stryder fixed her hair and shook his head. "Oh I am sorry T, did I ruin your fire hair?" His smile getting broader with each word.

        "HEY!!!!! Stryder, you are an ass. In fact you are a bigger ass than an actual ass!!" She snapped at him and narrowed her glamorous blue eyes alight with playful fire. She slapped his arm lightly and danced around him to avoid his revenge. Stryder just shook his head and laughed at the girl with whom he loved.

        "You're a dork, you know that right, T?" He mused and smiled happily at Therese. She stopped dancing around him and her face broke out into a smile. Therese nodded and poked his chest.

        "Yea, but you love it!" She sang out, her voice clear and surreal. Stryder smiled and nodded slightly, signifying that he in fact, does love it. "I may be a dork but I'm your dork!!" Therese giggled and continued to dance around.

        Stryder watched his girlfriend dance around, a soft smile breaking out on his face. How he wished he could tell her, how she wasn't going to be his for very much longer.
