Her eyes held that familiar glare as she gestured to my unlit cigarette. I smiled lazily at her as I pulled it from my mouth. "It's not even lit, princess." I replied sarcastically. Her glare hardened and she quickly grabbed the cigarette from between my fingers, before stuffing it into her pocket. "I don't care. And don't call me that!" She pushed past me and started heading down the hall. I rolled my eyes and began to follow her. "Whatever you say...Princess." Refusing to look at me, her hand shot up behind her, middle finger raised. "Very mature." I chuckled as she completely ignored me. I reached into my pocket grabbing another cigarette. Putting it into my mouth, the end grazed against my teeth as I held it in between my lips.
