I was coughing , the smoke clearing out from my lungs. "It's okay it's just your first time smoking a cigarette "? said Brandi. My ten-year old eyes looked up towards her , then looking down in shame. "Hey it's okay, I still like you" she said as she put her hand on my face with a warm smile. I returned the smile back to her and attempted another drag, this time I was more successfully. I flicked the ash off my cigarette and we continued our smoke.
Now flash back to my life about five years. It was when school started I was in the fourth grade and Brandi was in sixth. I met her during lunch, I was sitting alone
because I didn't really know anybody . She came up to me and said hi. I looked up
from my tray of mashed potatoes and gravy. My brain stopped working for a second
she had brown hair which was straight and curls at the end, blue eyes, and tanned skin. She always sat next to just chatting , I didn't know why she was hanging out with me, but I liked the company.
I noticed something different about her when I met her. Like why would she hang out with a lowly fourth-grader, why she didn't hang out with the other kids which was her age. About two weeks of just hanging out with her I found out she smoked. I was a little intimidated and afraid for her . Then she took me with her every time she smoked . I wanted her to like me even more because she always called me cute and stuff like that.
So then I just asked her straight up that I wanted to smoke. I thought she'll be against it
but she said "sure". So she took me smoking and from there on out I was hooked on smoking for the next five years of my life.
This was my favorite mistake because I made a friend and she'll always be on my mind for the rest of my life. I learned you can make friends, even ones that make the wrong choices and for that I'm thankful.

I can relate to this in a way because my dad smoked around me. I didn't necessarily smoke but I was around it for years and then it was hard to breathe. How did you fix your mistake of smoking?
I like this post because I can relate to it so much. I remember my first cigarette, it was like I was in heaven. That was almost five years ago as well, but what I've learned from this mistake is that it's not easy to fix but if you really put your heart into it you can quit that horrible habit. It takes time and effort, but it's worth it trust me.
I can relate to this, because I have been in a similar situation. There was this girl who is 11 years older then me and she was one of the first people who got me started on meth. She was in love with me for some reason, I didn't think I was able to attract a 26 year old girl. She is always on my mind even though she has bit me in the ass a couple of times. I still love her as a friend unconditionally, no matter what.
I like your little story don't know you that well but your a good kid. I can't totally relate to you being a new kid at school. I could relate to the first time things we do in life. I can't really say a lot on your favorite mistake but I love your favorite mistake. Good work goes out to everything your aiming for to complete.

I felt that way when I first smoked too.
I have had the same felling when I smoked with a girl.
It's kind of weird being that young and doing something like that.
