Meka snuck away from the dance for just one minute to grab a cigarette outside. She crouched down low near the edge of the building and inhaled, closing her eyes and enjoying the calm for once. It hadn't been a terrible start to the year and she had been pretty excited for cheering in her first game. She had been practicing cheer routines all summer on the beach, it was strange to do them all in front of people.

She leaned against the wall a little and took a long drag on her cigarette, just trying to revel in the day.
