you’re always so right. it must be such a burden.

discomfort has sowed its seed,   but she swallows hard.       fingers wring themselves knuckle - white and silly,       a testing phrase on her tongue:     ❝    𝖨 𝖣𝖮𝖭'𝖳 𝖬𝖤𝖠𝖭 𝖳𝖮 𝖡𝖤.      sometimes i can’t help it.     ❞       the laugh she gives is an attempt at easy conversation but it comes out tense,     tight.        her mouth twists into a slanted line and she shrugs,     and the anxiety on her shoulders shrugs with her.       ❝    maybe   (   ...   )     next time i won’t say anything.     we can just be wrong and see what happens.     ❞

Seriously though these pranks would give Steven a heart attack if he was able to have one.

start the process now.   corrupt the lungs along with the mind.   school grounds are perfect for  peer pressure  along with bad influences scattered around.  bullying,   drugs,    sex,  embarrassment,    insecurity,    jealousy.   great years of your life   ...    right?   he’s on the roof,   where a select few enjoy their  occasional cigarette  along with the view.   it’s propped between is lips as he prepares to light.   flame just beneath the end.   slight warmth  hits his finger tips from being so close.

“   you don’t  seem  like the smokin’ type,    ”

the box is held out towards her.   her steps were heard once she  had opened the door.   heavy metal door?   hard to miss.  he looks over his shoulder at her and gives the box  a slight shake.     “   SHARIN’ IS CARIN AND ALL THAT SHIT,   ”     a chuckle escapes him.  smile  stuck  on his lips.  smoke finds its way out his lungs with an  exhale,   and a cloud forms around his face as he  slowly breathes.

          “    HOW DOES ONE GO  ...  ABOUT ASKING GIRLS OUT ?   ”

childhood crushes and  infatuations.   a disease that gets passed around the school.   one guy thinks a girl is  hot / cute / beautiful  you name it  ...  and suddenly everyone else  is crushing on that same girl  ...   or boy  ...  or teacher for that matter.   hive mentality.   calvins been eyeing some girl in class  but can’t bring himself to just ask.   that’s too basic.   sure it’s more effective than some  confession in the cafeteria  ...  dave tyler was a sad young boy  when naomi said no  in front of everyone.   we not tryna have that happen  ...

WHY NOT ASK A FRIEND WHO’S ALWAYS GRUMPIEST UNTIL GIVING OUT ADVICE   ...   or maybe she just  hates  him but he doesn’t really care.

“  you give out unwarranted slash unwanted advice.    so here’s someone askin’ you  ...  you get asked out don’t you ?  ...   so what are they doing wrong ?   since you know  ...  you’re still single  ...  not that it’s a bad thing  ...  but like what’s going on vero.   ”

      @bleuebird   from    boris.   *   

tiptoed sneakers drag across pebbles below, arms link around chains that held the swing you sat on; gently rocking body with lazy movements.  no intent at the moment to push off in high speed, to attempt to reach heights that you’d never reached sober.   filtered end of a cigarette found itself nestled between plump lips, mouth pulled upwards near corner; a smirk.  “ you see veronica, it is fact of matter that you put killing thing between lips. it is up to you if you light it. that is the metaphor, do you let the killing thing win? ”   slender hand digs into side pocket to retrieve zippo. thumb brushing over trigger and spark comes to life, flame meets end of cigarette as lungs inhale toxins that soon exhale in a flurry of smoke above your heads.    

       “ we are all dying. ”
