Stupidest thing I ever read:
He just wanted to be cool.
All Peter ever wanted was to be cool. Later in life that probably won’t matter as much to him, but as a highschooler being cool is everything. He tried to emulate the cool kids in the class as best he could, but it wasn’t so easy.
One thing the cool kids were always doing was smoking. He didn’t want to start that habit, but wanted to fit in so Peter bought the Victory Electronic Cigarette Full Starter Kit in the no-nicotine version. He took his e-cig and headed to the cool kids’ huddle.
“Why are you smoking that?” one of them asked.
“I’m trying to quit,” Peter lied.
“Yeah … it’s tough man,” another said.
What Peter didn’t know, however, was that none of them actually smoked; they were all just trying to be cool.
