Chapter 36 - Cigarette Chat

While our character was eating, Jake approached him.

Jake: Bro, do you want a cigarette? It might help you wake up; you were dozing off in class.

Character: No, thanks, Jake.

Jake: Did you know that Zoe and the Math Teacher called you stupid?

Character: No, I didn't know. But why did Zoe say that?

Jake: I don't know; he thinks he's better than everyone else. He's just a stupid jerk.

Character: You're right, bro. I can understand the Math Teacher, but it's ridiculous for Zoe to say that.

Jake: Well, if you want, just this once.

Character: Okay, I'll join you this time.

Jake: Also, you'll relax a little.

Character: Absolutely.

After finishing his meal, our character went to the school toilet with Jake to have a cigarette.

Jake: Dude, you shouldn't take life too seriously. What happens if we do or don't? Just have a cigarette.

Character: I'm only having it once, Jake. Don't give me more; I don't want to be addicted.

Jake: Here, bro, it doesn't hurt.

Our character takes the cigarette from Jake and lights it.

Jake: Dude, it's not like that. You should do it this way.

Jake shows our character how to smoke.

Character: Okay, I get it.

Jake: Take a drag and see.

Our character starts coughing immediately as he inhales.

Character: Damn it!

Jake: No problem; it happens the first time. It happened to me too.

Character: Anyway, let's continue our conversation.

Jake: Definitely, let's smoke this before people come to me to take a drag.

Character: Do you know Rafael Voss? He's supposed to be out soon.

Jake: Yeah, I heard that jerk is coming out.

Character: I agree.

After chatting for a bit, they finish their cigarettes and leave the school toilet.

Jake: We can do this again.

Character: No, Jake, this isn't for me. Just this once.

Jake: It won't hurt, man.

Character: No, no, see you later.

Jake: Okay, you know best, bro. See you later.

(That's how it all starts. You tell yourself, "One more time won't hurt," and then a week later you find yourself addicted to this stupid thing. I definitely don't want to be addicted.)

After lunch break, our character went back to class.
