The Painter and Toker

Eric get Suspended

Addie was sitting in the open trunk of the vista cruiser, her eyes scanning her mid-term report card -C in math, B in science and government, Art, English, and History were all As. Steven sat down beside Addie, scanning over her grades.

" such a smartie pants right up until that math grade peaches" a smile tugged at his lips, she frowned and opening her bag.; Addie let out a groan,

"How can I only have those strawberry cigarettes left" she closed the bag defeated. Hyde patted her back, his eyes scanning his report card.

"hey, check it out. I got an "f" on my report card." Donna was leaning on the edge of the cruiser

" An "F," what'd you fail?" Eric's eyebrows raised, staring at Donna.

"English," Donna laughed.

Addie looked up, " how could you fail English? We take that together."

"Yeah, and little Miss. Smartie got an "A" in that" Steven shook his head

"it's called reading Steven; you know thing other than playboy and conspiracy theories."

"Since, when did reading Steven King count in English" Steven chuckled,

"since Ms. Beachamp loved my father work, that's when" Addie smiled wickedly, looking over steven shoulder at his report card.

"ahh... Now the truth comes out," he chuckled " Hey, I got a "b" in Spanish. When did I start taking Spanish."

Addie grabbed his report from him, " how can you be passing math! Do you even go to math" she crossed her arms and pouted. The smell of cigarette smoke filled the air, she looked up hopeful Steven had dug one out of his jacket pocket, but it was Donna, not Steven.

"What the Hell! You took that, didn't you!" Addie stared at Donna

" you gonna get suspended, little lady" Steven laughed, staring at donna, who only smiled and winked at Addie.

"When did you start smoking?" Eric's voice had gotten serious

"well, you just saw me light it."

" who cares when she started, it's mine" Addie started to climb out the trunk, but steven pulled her back down.

"I'll get you more to tomorrow, meanwhile you can finish those pink ones off," he tucked Addie's hair behind her ear. She frowned but settled next to Steven.

"hahaha.. guys, you know smoking causes cancer." Eric shook his head

" I know, but it makes me look cool, so it's, and even trade," donna started shuffling with her jacket and handed Eric the cigarette. He held away it with two fingers frowning,

" Forman, hold it like a man, would ya?" growled Steven, Addie let out a laugh and reached for the cigarette, but Steven took her hand and held it.

The back doors opened up, and Addie leaned out to see Mr. Banner walking towards Eric, eyeing the cigarette in hand.

"hey, Forman. Smoking on School property?"

Donna jumped to action " No, that's not his. That's mine."

"no, it's, uh...it mine." Eric took a drag of the cigarette, coughing "camel good stuff.."

"Eric quit it," donna glared at him. Addie sighed, what the Hell was wrong with her did she want to get caught? Failing English, stealing her cigarette, and trying to get suspended, she was screaming for attention, but not from her friends. Addie climbed out of the trunk and stood by Donna; Steven climbed out, grabbing the dropped cigarette as Mr. Banner took Eric back into the school.
