Katie's Smoking Epiphany (Part 2) by Dromedary Joe Loosely based on a true story... Katie brushed her hair in front of the mirror. It was the first day of her senior year, which she hoped would be a great. But she was a bit nervous. Katie was a pretty girl with light brown hair, a slim build, and blue-green eyes. She didn't have a boyfriend - she had never had a boyfriend. Some guys had shown some interest, perhaps, but she was perhaps too serious for most boys. Katie only cared about doing well in school- she was a straight A student. Plus, she was very religious. That was probably what turned a lot of guys away. Her mom said she was too preachy, but Katie found an inner peace in her religion. She went to church three or four times a week and between that and homework didn't have much time for a social scene. She only had one really close friend and that was her best friend. Karen. She also had "the twins", fraternal twins Amy and April, but they were just freshmen who looked up to her as a mentor or big sister more than as a friend. So she hoped to make some new friends this year. She finished putting on her makeup and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Maybe Mike will notice me this year, she thought with a smile. Mike was the cute guy she had had a crush on since her sophomore year. She went downstairs and smelled the coffee brewing and the cigarette smoke. Her mom was already up. "Good morning, Kate," said her Mom as she crushed out another cigarette. Her mom was petite and beautiful, especially considering she was in her late 30's. "Morning, Mom," said Katie as she grabbed the box of cereal and milk. Her Mom sat down and picked up the pack of Marlboro Light 100's. She lit it up and blew the smoke away from the table - away from Katie, since she didn't want another lecture on smoking. Katie thought about giving her one, but thought better of it. It's the first day of school - no need to get myself in a bad mood, Katie thought to herself. Besides, she had thought a little bit about her mom's smoking lately. She was trying to put herself in her mom's shoes. When her father had died in an accident when she was twelve, Katie had become more religious. Her mom had started smoking again when it happened. So, Katie turned to God and her Mom had turned to smoking and partying. Katie's parents had been religious until the accident, but the accident made her turn more religious. Her mother had turned away from religion - although careful not to mock religion when Katie was around. Katie got up to go to school, gave her mom a hug, and headed for her car. Her car. Her mom had bought her a car for her senior year, and she was proud of her new set of wheels. She would be picking up her best friend Karen on the way to school. Karen was a pretty athletic blond who made good grades at school, but not as good as Katie. She was taking it easy this year, unlike Katie who was taking mostly honors classes. But Karen was as religious as Katie was and so they had that in common. Karen had more classic model good looks, which Katie did envy a little bit. It seemed Karen had always had a boyfriend, never very seriously, but she was always dating someone. She did set up Katie on some double dates, but nothing ever clicked with any one of the guys she went out with. As they got out of the car and headed for class, they both said it was shame they'd only be in one class together. The day went by pretty quickly and when the day was over, she headed for her car. "Hey," said a voice behind her. It was Rosa, a girl she had a few classes with. Okay, she had noticed that Rosa was in all of her classes, but she had never thought of Rosa as someone who could be her friend. "Hey, how's it going, Rosa," Katie responded. She looked at Rosa for a minute. Rosa was a Latina girl who was just a little bit overweight, but had a beautiful face. She was smart - she had to smart to be in all those honors classes, but she had a reputation as a "bad girl." Katie didn't really listen to gossip or rumors, but she had heard some things. Even so, Katie wanted to make new friends, and who knows, perhaps she could get Rosa interested in going to church like Katie and Karen did. "Did you notice that we're in every class together?" Rosa asked. "Yeah, it's kinda cool. Maybe we can hang out sometime." "That would be so cool," said Rosa. Katie paused for a minute thinking of things to say. "Would you like a ride home?" "Why not!" said Rosa and with that, they headed to Katie's car. Rosa gave her directions to where she lived and after about a few blocks, she pulled something out of her purse. It was a pack of cigarettes, a gold pack similar to the ones her mom smoked except they didn't say `lights' on them (this was back when Marlboro 100's full flavor came in a gold pack). "You mind if I smoke?" Rosa asked meekly. Katie thought for a second. She didn't want to get preachy to who could be a new friend right away, so she simply said, "No, go right ahead," somewhat forced. No need to give her the lecture right away. I'll wait until we're better friends. "Want one?" asked Rosa as she exhaled smoke after she lit one up. "No, thanks. I don't smoke," replied Katie. "Never have, never will," she added... |
