Summary
He remembers that day, how the scent of the grass was overpowered by the cigarette, the cricking of the cicadas, the chatter between the older men, he remembers looking from behind the screen door. He remembers being shooed off by his relatives, being told that the smoke was bad, and that good kids aren’t allowed to smell it. A few years later, he remembers seeing that same uncle at the hospital. A few months down the line, he saw him at a funeral. He didn’t know that uncle well, but all he knew was that whatever cigarettes are, they were responsible for his death. (That was also the time he learnt what death was. That must’ve impacted how he viewed smoking, he thinks.)
And that subconscious fear of cigarettes sort of stuck with him. The first time he’d seen his friends smoke was when he was fifteen. They were young, but old enough to think they were mature. He’d seen someone from his little group pull out a box of cigarettes, pulling a stick from its container with ease. That friend passed them off to the rest, then to Winnie, who voiced his concern.

Summary
The two of them stay like that, enjoying the others company. Every once in awhile, Winnie looks over at Augustine, he doesn’t look back. Over time, Winnie stares at Augustine more frequently, for longer. This time, Augustine looks back, making eye contact with him. And that’s what makes them finally choose to speak up.
“Auggie,” He starts, looking up at Augustine. “What do you think of me?”

Summary
Augustine gets up, and slams the window open and glares down at the perpetrator. “I swear to god- if you don’t fucking stop that right now I’ll—!” They cut themself off as they see who exactly has been hurling rocks at his house, and holy shit isn’t that Winnie—a pebble hits him square in the face before he could finish that thought.
”Ahah- my bad!”
