Donnie was out in the quad, doing the usual thing he did when he was meant to be in Science class, smoking. It was a pleasent day, not quite warm enough to be out without a jacket, but not cold enough to need gloves, that kind of weather. Despite the cloudiness of the day Donnie was still stood in the shadows of one of the huge oak trees that were dotted around the quad. Like a cool kid from an 80's teen movie he was leant up against the tree, his hat angled slightly downwards so there was a shadow cast across his face.

Though he looked a little unapproachable he was in a very good mood. There wasn't much for him to be angry about today, as it was still early on. Plus he'd already had his coffee, and this was his third cigarette of the day, things were going well.</sup>

Stella was once again late for class, because her French teacher had decided to keep her after class to talk about her grade. Which she agreed to pull up, and said she would try harder, and do all this extra credit work he gave her so that she could pull her grade up and not fail the class, which she needed to pass her senior year. To be honest though she was honestly going to forget to do once the break came around. By the time he was done talking to her she was already supposed to be in her English class, and she didn’t really want to get there quick since the teacher always picked her to read, and she didn’t do that so well. So Stella headed to her locker to get her books, and then headed slowly to class.

She walked through the Quad which was in the middle of the school, it was kind of cold today, but not too cold that she had to worry about the weather. Although she had been going to school here for a few years, she had grown accustomed to the Florida sun when she moved to the united states, and she enjoyed it. She liked being able to wear sundresses in the winter and not freeze, which was why she thought that she could be ok wearing a dress and some leggings as long as she put on a jacket over it. Her dress was a black dress with a floral pattern on it, and she paired it with a red trench coat, and some boots. She thought she looked pretty cute today.

She was making her way through the Quad when she spotted someone smoking, by the oak trees, “You know that’s not good for you right?” She asked as she walked closer to the mysterious figure who was half hidden by the trees. “What if you get lung cancer and die?” She asked like she knew what she was talking about.

<sup>Donnie looked up, somewhat startled when I big with bright pink hair spoke to him. Usually people tended to ignore him, because he looked like a troublemaker, and aparently people weren't in to that. Regardless, Donnie felt happy to have someone to speak to, though not so happy that this irl had basically just told him he was going to get lung cancer and die.

'Even more dangerous if you have diabetes', he replied, cheerfully, he raised his cigarette in the air and looked up at it like it was a trophy that he was proud to be holding.
'And if I get lung cancer and die, then I get lung cancer and die', he shrugged and put the cigarette back between his lips, 'Life is full of fun surprises, I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens', he smirked behind the cloud of smoke that escaped from his lips.</sup>

"You're not scared to die?" She asked, "because I am I don’t wanna die any time soon,” Stella was surprised by his answer to her question. “Why do you do it though if you know it’s dangerous….?” She asked, of course she didn’t know him well but she was already starting to ask him stupid questions. That was Stella for you.

She readjusted her hat on her head, and looked down at her feet. Why was she even talking to this boy, she didn’t know the answer to that question, maybe she just wanted to get out of English class which she was honestly dreading. “Oh by the way I’m Stella,” she said, in a cheery voice with a big smile on her face like she was a little kid again making a new friend.

'I wouldn't say that I'm not scared to die, no', Donnie replied, a little confused as to how he'd ended up having such a deep conversation with someone he barely knew. It was kind of cool though, small talk always drove him crazy, and now here he was diving in to what seemed like a super serious topic.

'I'm Donnie', Donnie repied, dropping the butt of his cigarette to the floor and grinding it in to the dirt with the heel of his boot, 'I don't think you'll die anytime soon, by the way', he added, stepping out from under the tree to get a better look at Stella.

'You should really try smoking though, before you start preaching all your lung cancer stuff at people', he fished around in his jacket pocket and pulled out a pack of Malbro's, he offered her the pack, though he was pretty sure she'd say no.

“Where I live in Florida there’s there really scary commercials, and this lady was like ‘let me show you how to get ready in the morning, and she’s all bald and she has no eyebrows and a hole in her throat so she can talk, and she has to use the vibrator thingy so she can say stuff, and she sounds like a robot, because she smoked a lot, and there was one with this old guy and he looked really creepy kind of like an alien except he was black so he kinda looked like E.T. and he was like this is what will happen if you smoke ” Stella said, but she took the pack form him anyway.

“I don’t wanna end up looking like E.T with a hole in my neck, and sounding like a robot,” she said. Although none of that probably made sense to him in her head it made sense. She had never smoked before so she wasn’t exactly sure what to do with the pack he had just handed her except take on out, she looked at it for a second wondering what it tasted like.

<sup>'I don't think you'll end up looking like ET', Donnie replied with a small laugh, he couldn't quite work out if Stella was joking or not. It wasn't often you came across a teenager that cared so strongly about not smoking, it was odd to Donnie. Then again, for all he knew, he could be the weird one for not caring about his lungs, or about the fact that one day he might look like ET ...

'You want a lighter, or are you just gonna stare at it?', Donnie asked, fishing around in his jeans pocket for his lighter. Though from the look of things Stella probably wouldn't even know which end to light.</sup>

"Yeah I guess," she responded to his question about the lighter with a strange look on her face, she wasn't sure how to even light it. Lighters always scared her because she was afraid she was going to burn her thumb off when she tried to light it. So she took the lighter from him when he dug it out of his pocket and looked down at the cigarette in her hands. How was she even supposed to do this anyway? First thing's first right? Light the lighter, so she attempted to do that but it didn't exactly work, and it didn't exactly work the way she expected it to.

"What's so good about smoking anyway," she said with a defeated look on her face. She didn't really see any point in it and the commercials had really made her terrified of smoking if she was the only one then at least they would have had some effect, on someone.

<sup>Donnie shrugged his shoulders and came closer to Stella, taking the lighter and cigarette from her hands. A little absent mindedly he flicked the flame on and off as he pondered Stella's question. What was so good about smoking? Nicotine rush probably ... That was the main reason he did it, or that's how it had started. Then it was addictive right, so he was hooked after the first couple...

Donnie placed the cigarette between his lips and lit it, taking a deep inhale, then he took it from his lips and held it between his fingers.
'See for yourself, but don't take too big a breathe, 'cause you'll cough', he warned her, carefully passing over the cigarette, 'You'll never know if you don't try', he offered with a little smile.</sup>

"Thanks," she said with a smile on her face. Maybe trying it wouldn't be so bad. After all people were always encouraging her to try new things. She took the cigarette from him and placed it between her lips. Hey this isn't so bad she thought as she inhaled, and did exactly as he had said not to do and took a big breath. She started coughing, she felt like her lungs were about to come out of her mouth. So maybe smoking was a bad idea, because she was going to make a fool out of herself.

She was pretty sure she didn't like smoking, after that. "I still don't see what's so good about it," she said when she could speak after her coughing fit. At least she could say she tried it, and it wasn't good. Or she just sucked at it. She really didn't want to continue to look like an idiot and she didn't know what to do with the rest of the cigarette so she just stood there holding it between her fingers. Looking dumber then ever.
