CHAPTER 3 ~Decided~

"Well I was going to," I spoke with a tone of seriousness. It's relay for life, and not to mention my birthday. Just because I'm 16 now doesn't make it okay, but I would have followed James into the tent. I would have hung out with kids while they fishbowled a tent. I wouldn't have actually smoked it. I wouldn't have.

"But she stopped you," he said sounding satisfied. The 'she' would be my best friend Sarah, who is dating my best friend James. Sarah doesn't let James have any fun, hence ruining any fun me and him could fun off and have.

Yeah- this fun will include smoking, but who cares, right? It's summer and I no longer have anything to loose.

"Sarah's not always going to be there to stop me," I told him. If I want to smoke, him and Sarah won't be the ones to hold me back. I hate that, when my friends think they can control my decisions; just another reason to meet up with James this summer and try it out. Nothing permanent.

"I don't know what changed to make you think this is okay," he replied, as if THAT would change my mind... but it's already made up.

By the end of this summer, I'll have regrets about some stuff I did, but weed will not be one of them.
