The Stick With Smoke

Cigarette. An invention that caused many lives. Not only by stealing lives. But also by ruining them.

I was once a smoker. But I stopped a long time ago. I didn't want to do it anymore. But still, these sticks haunt me up to this day.

It was the last day of exams. My friend, naming "Brusko", wanted to smoke after eating. He asked me to join him. I refused a couple of times, but he wouldn't stop insisting. I agreed after a long debate. But I was hesitant to come.

He bought two sticks, one for each of us. He gave me my stick, but I was hiding it. He lighted his stick. He started inhaling it. A few seconds later, a teacher said "What are you doing?! Naka-uniform pa kayo ah!"--What are you doing? You're still in uniform!-- and I started to shiver of fear. Yes, this is the event I'm afraid will happen. For this to come to the School Board and suspend us both. I wasn't smoking, but I was holding a stick. In our school handbook, it was stated that "Smoking in campus or within 100 meters from the school while wearing a uniform is a Class C offense. Possessing cigarettes is considered as a violation." and I, myself, have read it.

In every offense, there's a punishment. The punishment for this one is a three-day suspension and an automatic grade of C in conduct. Obviously, I didn't mind what the school might say. I was worried about what my parents would say or do.

Now, I'm a basket case. I'm freaking out. Every bone, every limb of mine is trembling like crazy! Its not because of the offense. Its because of what my father could do. He beats me up when he gets really pissed. Tonight's gonna be a gruesome night.

BTW, this MIGHT be my last post for september. I might be grounded for this. I just hope they won't beat me up. Cross your fingers, guys!
