Parallel / Cerise (25)

Entering the girls’
restroom, I lock
myself in a stall,
trying to calm
my nerves.

I rummage through
my bag, pulling out
a box of cigarettes
and a lighter.

Lighting a single
cigarette, I begin
to inhale the
toxins.

After a few seconds,
I exhale, watching
the smoke form
into strange
shapes.

The taste isn’t
satisfying….

yet it helps with
easing my mind
just a little.

I check my watch,
noticing it’s ten
minutes before
school starts.

C.. r..e..a..k…

The door to the
restroom opens.

“Nina you look so
cute today!”

“You tell me that
everyday, Ami.”

I recognize these
two voices.

They belong to Nina,
the enchantress, and
Ami, the faithful simp.
