Addiction
I tap the microphone before talking into it. "Eh em."
I clear my throat. "Hi everyone. My name is Alison."
"Hi, Alison." The crowd echoes. For some reason I
feel like I'm in a movie and it's that part where the
shy girl with stage fright has to talk in front of a big
crowd and the light is in her eyes and everything.
The light in this room is dull but I squint for the
effects anyway, even though I'm not that shy girl.
"I…" Pause for dramatic effect. "Am addicted."
Pause. I sigh. "Addicted to coke." I say.
A few people in the crowd nod sympathetically then
they all clap.
"Yes, yes. Coke...cola." I grin. "No wait, Pepsi.
Yeah, Pepsi. I'll die without Pepsi. No wait. Coke.
That's my final answer. Coke. Coke is way better
than Pepsi. "
"EXCUSE ME?" Some random blonde turd in the
crowd stands up frowning. "This is a support group
for real addictions. Not nonsense."
"UGH." I grip the mic tighter. "Pardon me, BUT
Coke is a real addiction! Have you ever tasted it?
Mmm, It's almost sinful!"
I don't know I think it's in my DNA to make jokes
about serious situations. It runs in my family. Once
it's there, I feel like I have to do it or the world will
turn in the opposite direction or something.
"Um, no! Coke cola is not a serious addiction!" She
whines. I narrow my eyes at her.
"Ok fine. Pespi…" I start.
"NO! Get off the stage!" She says.
"What? Pardon me? Did I tell you to get off the
stage Ms. OCD?"
So here I am, at an addiction meeting making a big
joke out of it. Why? Because I am pathetic.
The truth is I do have an addiction. And a serious one
too. And it's not alcohol or cigarettes or any stupid
teenage thing like that.
My addiction is called: Ariana. Ariana
Delacour.
Frenemy, Cheerleader, high school sex bomb. Okay
so maybe it is a stupid teenage addiction
"You know what? Fuck it! I'm done." I drop the mic
making it screech and go sit back down, not
forgetting to stick my finger at blonde turd first.
I know what you're thinking.
A girl? How typical.
That's just the thing. It is typical, Very typical
actually.
