My first cigarette

Brrriiiiinng brrriiiinng. The bells gone, hurray its break. To the canteen I head to indulge myself in a creamed iced bun. That was lovely. Then off to the toilet I trotted.
'Hi Kelly, hi daisy’ I said . as I walked in they were standing there looking awfully mischievous. I walked into the cubicle. Suddenly a strong smell of a cigerrette being lit and a match going out was present.
I came out of the cubicle, ‘daisy, Kelly, what are you doing? Since when did you smoke?’ ‘Why you too much of a pussy to try’ they replied back. ‘ No, I just,’ ‘You just what? Come on have a lug, look I can do circles with my smoke, oh come on what’s the worst that can happen, and as easy as that the next thing I knew was that I was taking my first lug on a fag! I inhaled the smoke, then coughed and spluttered everywhere. I didn’t even like it and I didn’t feel cool…..Now I’m a smoker, smoking 20 a day. God damn it! Why me? Don’t be a sucker. Don’t give in!
