Title: Chapter 2-1, Matt's luck. Post by: secretoracle on August 29, 2006, 04:39:27 PM Right before last period Matt ducked into a bathroom on the third floor. He just finished up when the two boys that gave him the swirly yesterday came in. "I don't think this runt got the message yesterday. Stay out of our bathroom." This wasn't the same bathroom, but Matt had done this enough times to know better then to correct the neanderthal. The boys knocked him down and took a quick look through his bag for anything they thought might be worthwhile. Nothing struck their fancy, so they decided to give him another swimming lesson. They picked him up and were about the jam his head in the toilet when they were interrupted. "Hey!" another bioy yelled. "Get the f$ck out of my bathroom." Matt's tormentors dropped Mat and stepped out of the stall to see who the person was that was spoiling their fun. The boys were all seniors from the looks of them, and the one that had recently come in sat down on the sink, never taking his eyes off the other two. "I told you to get out." He took a pack of cigraettes from his pocket, placed one in his mouth and lit it. Matt's tormentors looked like they seriously might consider throwing down with this other boy. Matt thought if that happened he might be able to slip out unnoticed. There was a tense moment, before the other boys relented. "Whatever." one of them said as the two left. The boy with the cigarette looked down at Matt on the floor. "You should get your stuff." Matt packed his bag, keeping an eye on the other boy. Once he was finished he headed for the door but was stopped by a question, "Want one?" The boy asked, offering him a cigarette. Title: Re: Chapter 2-1, Matt's luck. Post by: Sacremas on August 30, 2006, 02:28:46 AM "Ah, uhm, well I don't smoke but... what the hell. Thanks." Matt takes one, lights it and takes a drag from it, and though he fully expects to crumple over coughing his lungs out, a moment later he lets out the smoke surprisingly smoothly, with only a single *cough* afterwards. "Hey, that's not too bad. Feels kinda weird, but I guess I could get used to it... I'm Matt by the way." [[OOC: Fortitude save result 18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=588923) to see if he could smoke or not... which I thought about after I wrote that he did infact get sick from it.]] Title: Re: Chapter 2-1, Matt's luck. Post by: secretoracle on August 30, 2006, 08:37:05 AM The other boy takes another drag from his cigarette, "Elrod, but everyone calls me El." El has long hair that is a bit unkept, blue jeans that are actually tattered from long term wearing and not just the kind most kids buy that look that way. He's wearing a leather jacket, not a bomber jacket like Matt's but a motorcycle style jacket that shows signs of considerable wear as well. El finishes his cigarette and leaves the bathroom for his next class. Matt would have to hurry to make it to his next class on time, or he could finish his cigarette and be late.

Post by: Sacremas on August 30, 2006, 09:04:09 AM Matt decides what the hell and finishes his cig, coming away with a nice warm feeling [18 fortitude] (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=589122) and little coughing inbetween, wondering if he should take up smoking, then decides to just as well skip class and head down to the lunch room to read some. |
