"Hurry your ass up, Euan!" Briar laughed as she beckoned him forward. "We're gonna be late for class!"
"Hmm... no, I don't really care." Euan took a long drag on his e-cigarette, the vapor filling his lungs.
"You really shouldn't vape on school grounds. Some stupid fucking administrator is gonna see you and then you'll be in some deep shit."
"I need my nicotine, Theodosia. I can buy all the e-cigs I want, it's not illegal or some shit."
"That's just cause there isn't any studies yet, so there's no reason to make a law."
"Well, I'm fucking addicted to nictotine, mkay? And I'm only 17 - oh wait, you are too."
"Are you harassing my girlfriend?" Briar snapped her fingers in a z formation.
"If she'd stop fuckin harrassing me about my smoking habits, maybe I'd stop sassing her." Euan took another deep drag, allowing the nicotene to rush to his brain.
"It's time for class anyway, ya lil shit. Why don't you put a nicotine patch on and get your ass to English?" Briar sugguested, making Euan laugh.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to class if that's what you want. Seeya, lesbians." Euan waved at Briar and Theodosia before turning off his e-cig and tucking it in his bag.
On his way to class, Euan grabbed one of the nictone patches from his bag. Pulling up the sleeve of his sweatshirt, he slapped it on.
He used a fairly low-dosage patch during classes, as he still used e-cigs. The patches he used only lasted about 4 hours, which was perfect for him, as he could smoke an e-cigarette at lunch and then put another patch on.
At home, he could either let the vapor out of the window, or put on a stronger, 8-hour patch.
Yeah, he knew that it was a bad habit, and it would probably also be the cause of his death, but he really couldn't care less.
Euan walked into class (20 minutes late) and slumped in his seat, not bothering to get out the work he was supposed to be doing. The teacher just turned a blind eye - she knew that Euan would ace all his tests anway. He was the kind of kid who could skim through the material 30 minutes before finals and then ace them.
(Euan is me rn lol)
Euan tuned out the teacher's lecture, pulling out his laptop and scrolling through his tumblr. He reblogged a few things and answered a few asks before switching over to his art program (Paint Tool SAI) and plugging in his drawing tablet.
(Euan has way more money than me if he has Paint Tool SAI. And a drawing tablet. And his own laptop. Heck, even his fucking stylus probably costs more money than I have.)
Euan opened his most recent piece, as he had alrady finished the sketch, and began doing the lineart. He finished it just as class ended, and saves his drawing before snapping his laptop shut.
Euan finished the color in his next class (maths) because he was there on time, and finished the shading in the next (social studies) because he has no interest in whatever the fuck the greeks were doing however many years ago. That subject had nothing to do with the career paths he was interested in, why would he care?
(kinda ranted there oops)
Science was his last class before lunch that day, and Euan was bored because science is boring, so he pulled up photoshop and worked on his latest animatic, of yet another song from a musical.
(...hamilton
also science rant)
And just like that, class was over. Euan packed up his laptop and headed for the courtyard, sitting on the bench in the corner. He pulled ofd his nicotene patch and pulled out his e-cig, absent mindedly breathing in the vapor.
"You know that stuff's probably gonna kill you someday, right?" Dan sat next to Euan, munching on a granold bar.
"Honestly, I couldn't give two shits." Both of them laughed at Euan's remark.
"Hey, Briar, Theodosia, get yoyr gay asses over here!" Euan shouted across the courtyard.
"You're one to talk!" Theodosia replied, taking her sweet time walking over.
"Why am I even friends with you?" Euan sighed.
"Because I'm fucking fabulous."
