“What’s that awful smell!” Ami
whines.
“It’s coming from one of the stalls.”
Nina says, making her way over to
my stall.
“Oh it’s you, Cerise! Don’t you
know smoking is against school
policy!” Nina says, being a
know-it-all.
I don’t respond, just throw
my cigarette on the ground
and stomp it out.
“Should I tell on you?” Nina
asks, sounding like she’s
joking.
“You smoke in here too, so
don’t be such a hypocrite.”
I shoot back as I unlock
the door to my stall.
I open it, but Nina stands
in my way. “Move, please.”
I demand.
She doesn’t budge, staring
at me with her piercing
yellow eyes.
“Drink from the toilet and
then I will move.” Nina
retorts.
“Ask Ami to do it!” I yell,
pushing my way past Nina,
but she shoves me backward.
“Do it, or else.” Ami threatens,
holding up a shiny can of pepper
spray as she stands beside Nina.
I secretly grab my pocket
knife, debating on whether
or not I should use it.
These two are monsters
yet so am I.
Maybe I should allow
my beast to come out
and PLAY.
