Light streaming un from the outside through the window, made it clear to Hitame that is was about noon. She had been in the bathroom stall for over an hour and still she had done nothing. She just stared at the cigarette in her hand, rolling it around between her hands and waiting, as if at the same moment she was about to take a drag someone would walk in on her. She had been waiting for this throughout the entire summer, a time of quiet where she wouldn't be interrupted by someone who would stop her from doing this. She couldn't do it while she was in Sophia's presence and even when she snuck away, Naomi always followed her, and she was never able to do anything the way she wanted.
Her eyes suddenly widened as if the cigarette was going to dissolve if she didn't take a drag soon(obviously those things are starting to affect her mind), so she lifted it to her mouth with a trembling hand and she took a long drag from it. Immediately she felt a wave of relief wash over her as she exhaled the smoke from the drag. She lowered the cigarette again, and coughed a little(she obviously wasn't very used to them yet.). But that didn't stop her from taking another drag. She forgot about her parents now, how they had tricked her and her siblings into thinking they were dead for so long. She didn't want to think about them anymore, no more...
This was her only way out...
