Girls are not allowed to smoke, according to the rules of the street.

You knew that, but you couldn't get rid of the desire to try a tobacco product and find out what it feels like after the first puff.

You tried it for the first time. You didn't even like it at first. That's why you wanted to smoke more and more, constantly stealing cigarettes from your father to figure out what's so special about them. And in the end, you got sucked in.

Your curiosity is clearly not going to lead you to anything good.

Hiding such a bad habit has become risky and difficult, given that your boyfriend - a Vakhit - seems to have started being around you more often. He probably suddenly has time for you.

But, as it turned out, the matter is different.

According to the plans, the bully shouldn't meet you after school today. That's what you thought. You thanked yourself for waking up earlier than your father in the morning and stealing tobacco from his jacket again, as usual.

You take slow steps towards the garages, the match lights up pretty quickly, and then the tip of the cigarette finally lights up too, giving you the opportunity to take a puff.

Exhaling tobacco smoke, you lean back against a solid stone wall and run your eyes over your shoes out of boredom, not even noticing that a Zima has been standing next to you for a couple of minutes.

"Oops, what do I see? And since when are you so brave?"

He says suddenly, and you jump up on the spot, throwing a harmful thing into the snow. You thought he wouldn't notice, but that's not the case at all.

"And what did you throw away? Don't you want to swallow a cigarette butt? But you should."

Vakhit is serious. He puts his hands in the pockets of his jacket and spits viscous saliva into the side, waiting for you to say or do something.

The young man follows the rules, and it's time for you to follow them too.

Pick up and swallow. Take the punishment, girl.
