"I don't know, Denise, okay? I don't think I could if I tried."

"Michelle, seriously, I have done tons of book reports on that stuff and it will kill you."

"I won't die right away."

"Yeah, but you will if you don't stop when you know you're getting messed up."

"All right. I'll try to stop when I start getting that way."

"Promise?"

"I promise." Denise is pretty scared. Oh, God. Please let Michelle know what she's getting into. Please don't let her hurt herself like that much.

"Okay. Thank you. Okay, it's time to pierce your belly button. You ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be."

"Okay." Denise grabs the piercing needle and starts piercing it. It is a little difficult at first because Michelle keeps freaking out and wants to stop. "Michelle, I thought you were ready for this. It's gonna get infected."

"I don't know. Maybe you need to numb it more."

"All right. But then we are piercing it. Then we're gonna drink and smoke."

"Sounds good." Finally they get it pierced ten minutes later.

"God, that hurt."

"Yeah. It's about time."

"Oh, I can't believe I actually did that."

"I can't believe what you're doing to yourself."

"I'm sorry, Denise."

"Okay, forget about that now. Let's go smoke. Don't chicken out this time." Denise actually was worried about Michelle. She decided to talk to her later about it when she gets more into it.

"Sounds good to me."

"Okay. Let's go." They go smoke and Michelle likes it. Or does she?

"Wow. I like it." I can't believe I'm doing this. What am I doing?

"And the best thing is that they're lights. All the bad stuff is filtered out of it."

"Oh. Even better."

"Yeah."

"Thanks for getting me into this."

"You don't really like it do you?"

"I don't know."

Denise laughs. "Whatever. Do what you want. You still wanna drink?"

"Sure."

"Okay. There's plenty of Mike's Hard Lemonade. Stuff's the shit."

"You say that about everything, Denise."

"Everything seems that to me." Michelle and Denise both laugh. "How many do you want?"

"Just one, I guess."

"All right. Good enough. You're being a rebel," Denise says sarcastically. "It's okay though."

"Okay." She takes a drink. "Wow, you're right. This stuff is the shit."

"Told ya."

A/N- Guys, I know you probably won't try it, I'm not saying this because this stuff is cool, so don't do it. I just didn't want you to think it was cool because it isn't.
