Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
8:37 AM
Two minutes passed and ultimately one of Basil's flaws came up. He had been rather good with it, not having turned to it since last spring. Ultimately, he just got up, asked for the hall pass and went straight to his locker. He opened it and grabbed a box of cigarettes
Basil smoked on occasion, one of the darker sides to him. If he was going to today was another question. He just stood there with the box in his hand and then a number of thoughts entered his head.
What if he was caught? Impossible! Even when he did no one ever caught him in the act!
Actually, that was the only thought to enter Basil's head. He cocked his head to one side in confusion as he had thought he had more.
Putting the box in his pocket, Basil walked back to class. Another time, later in the day, maybe tomorrow. Just not when he saw Venus.
Reaching for his lighter, Basil paused. Where was it? It wasn't on the shelf! Where was his lighter?
Walking back to class, Basil handed his work to his teacher. Looking at it, his teacher said: "You are a quick one, Basil."
"That I am, sir." Basil answered.
"That's all for today, Basil." The teacher said. "You may go to the cafeteria or the library if you wish."
The cafeteria or the library if he wished? At the moment, Basil wished to go home to find his lighter.
