We're standing outside their school, a late afternoon. There's only the three of us there.
Betty is 16, and blonde. Already when we meet, she has a cigarette in her hand and now, she slowly moves the hand to her mouth and her sweet lips shut around the cigarette.
The lower part of her nose moves a little when she's dragging to get the smoke into her mouth. I'm watching her nostrils when she, with a clear sound inhales the smoke down into her young, but already so smoky lungs. Her nose is of a quite ordinary style, not exceptionally long or so, but the sides are large enough to make we dream about touching them, but of course I don't.
The nose wings covering her exciting nostrils are quite long, and I'm hoping that she will exhale at least some smoke from those nostrils, but she blows it out through the left corner of her mouth. I've just given up my hope of seeing cigarette smoke flowing from that wonderful nose when some smoke comes from it, from a second exhale. Oh, I want so much to touch her nostrils!

- When did you start smoking?, I start by assking Mary, her brunette friend. She's a bit taller than Betty.
- I was 14 or 15, Mary replies.
- I was 14, Betty coughs. She coughs a little while talking and her mouth is formed like a ring.
She inhales deeply to cough, it's apparent that it's a reflex, not a deliberate cough. She puts her hand over her mouth and coughs. I can clearly hear some phlegm getting lose inside her and she swallows it.

- Do you cough because you're smoking, I ask her.
- Yes, she says and smiles a little. - I mean, I don't have a real smoker's cough in the mornings but I'm sure that I cough more than I should be doing.
- Do you cough too, I ask Mary but she shakes her head.
- No, not really. But Betty has always been coughing more than I have, I mean when she's been ill or so.

Just as I've started to hope that Betty would cough again, she finishes her cigarette with a nostril exhale.
- Don't you think she looks good when she exhales the smoke that way, Mary asks me.
- Yes, she does, I reply.

Suddenly, Betty does what I've been longing for. She puts both of her hands up over her nose, her fingers are on that sexy nose and she inhales to cough. Because of her hands, we can't see her nose wings, which usually "expand" a little when she's about to cough. She coughs a little again, then she slowly removes her hands by letting the fingers slide down over her nose. Oh, I wish it was my fingers slowly moving along her nose...

- Do you often put your hands up over your nose like that, I ask.
- Sometimes, she replies shortly.
- You cough right out in the air quite often, at least when you cough just a little, Mary adds.
- Yes, I like varying my style. Actually, I love coughing, probably because it's because of my smoking. I love when it rattles inside me, and the sound.
- Your coolest style is actually when you're using your hands as you just did but hold them a few inches from your face, Mary says.
- Mmm, I don't know, Betty says and starts hacking a little. Every hacking is a little deeper than the previous one and her smile is gone. She leans her head backward so I can see her nostrils expand during the inhale and she coughs upwards with a hand over her mouth. She then looks forward again with her hand still over her mouth, and soon she continues to cough. She now uses another style, her hands over her mouth with some finger tips on to the nose wings. The fingers don't cover the nose wings fully, so I can see her nose wings expanding when she inhales.
- Mmm, what a coughing fit, I say when she stops coughing.
- Yes, sometimes I have longer coughing fits, she admits.

Betty lights a new cigarette and when she holds it between her fingers to suck, one of her finger tips touches her nose wings. She leaks a little smoke through her nostrils.

- Talking about coughing fits, Mary says and clears her throat. She swallows and picks a new cigarette from her pack just as I'm glancing at Betty's exhale from her mouth, followed by a little smoke through her nose. Her nostrils must be black soon, I think.
- You should have heard her mom, Mary continues. Oh, she was smoking so much when I stayed over the night last time. She smoked and smoked while watching TV. The smoke was flowing from her nose and mouth, time after time. I thought about Betty, who's coughing quite much, but I never heard her mom cough at all. I mean, you can hear from her voice how she has been smoking, and that long nose of hers must be black!

Betty laughs a little, coughs a few times and swallows.

- That was before the breakfast, Mary goes on. Until then I was starting to think she didn't have any smoker's cough. You should have seen her! She came down for breakfast, in her night-dress and sat down. She just sat there with her hand over her mouth, I didn't understand why. Suddenly, a long rattling sound came from her. What a smoker's coughing fit!! She's sitting just a metre from me, Betty's tall blonde mom with that long, straight blonde hair and just shakes because of her cough. She was rattling and rattling. I saw the naked top part of her chest above the dress and I felt like putting my hand there and give it some massage. I noticed how her chest expanded every time she inhaled, and how it sometimes almost shrimped because she was coughing so she almost got out of air. Finally, she tried to stand up but she coughed so she had to bend her body forward almost 90 degrees.

- And finally, she usually quickly puts the other hand over her mouth so she coughs in both her hands with the fingers on her long nose, Betty adds.
She coughs up phlegm in the end and has to go and wash it off her fingers. One time, I felt so sorry for her so I removed her hands and put mine there instead. I was massaging her soft, long nose up and down and felt her warm, humid cough in my hands.
- Did she cough up then, too?
- Yes, she sid, I got her warm, lovely smoke phlegm in my hands. It wasn't disgusting or anything, it was... so special. I think she's sexy when coughing. I actually love her coughing fits, and I sometimes ask if I could put my hands over her mouth. I've sometimes coughed in her warm hands, too.
