"Are you wearing a skirt" Eden said, a hint of disgust in her voice as she seemingly stepped out of the darkness. Parents weekend was usually a blast for her on account of not actually having parents. Her cousin Toni would come along though and try to bag herself a nice, rich daddy, which was exactly what she was doing at the alumni party right now, leaving Eden with an eighth of weed to keep her happy.

"I know I only met you once before but those legs look like they last saw daylight twenty years ago" she joked.

Tatum, never one whom enjoyed being snuck up on, jumped a little and let out a little squeak as Eden snuck up on her. "D-Don't do that!" the redhead snapped, taking a moment before she realized the younger girl had immediately opened up with an teasing remark. She pouted.

"I-I.. I wear shorts sometimes.. t-that kinda counts," she muttered lamely, puffing on her joint slowly and eying Eden. "What d-do you like, want anyway?" she asked. She hadn't spoken to the other girl since their meeting at the party.

"Why do you even shave those babies" Eden carried on, ducking down and squinting at Tatum's legs rudely. She frowned at the other girl's bristly welcome and folded her arms stubbornly. "I was here first. This is my house" she said insolently before digging in her pocket and showing Tatum her weed.

"From my parental guardian. But since you seem so eager to be on your own, I guess I'll go smoke the whole thing by myself" Eden sighed, turning on her heel.

"W-Why wouldn't I?! That's.. g-gross, of course I shave my legs," she asked, quickly putting her legs tightly together as Eden hunkered over to take a look. The redhead's cheeks went bright. "W-Whatever, I smoked here.. forever, like, before you were in school, k-kid!"

When Eden took out her weed, the smell hit Tatum immediately and she looked closely at her eyes as if hypnotized. "Skunky," she said softly, looking up as the younger girl turned to leave. "W-Wait! I'm-- where is that f-from? Like, w-where did she get it? It s-smells.. like, good. I'm s-sorry, let's just roll up!"

"I'm not that young" Eden pouted, straightening up.

Smirking, Eden spun back around. "Forgiven. It's for the best anyway, since I don't got any papers" she shrugged, tossing the baggy at Tatum. "C'mon" she ordered with a jerk of her head. Toni said she'd get me some wine from the party" Eden explained, heading towards the main building.

"Y'all parents here too? Bet parents weekend really sucks."

"Y-Young enough I probably shouldn't be p-partying with you.. you're like, younger than my baby sister," Tatum shot back, carefully catching the bag tossed her way. She quickly opened it, taking another quick sniff. It really did seem like good stuff. Hopefully it wasn't totally wet or something lame like that.

"I-I don't really drink wine," the redhead replied quietly, following closely behind the younger girl, glancing around a bit nervously as they moved. She still had her joint going, holding it a bit low in case anyone crossed their path. "They were h-here, like.. earlier. H-Hence the skirt," she sighed. "They'll b-be back in the morning.Dad's a muggle and m-my stepmom went to B-Beauxbatons so they didn't go to the uhm, alumni thing."

"Who said it's a party" Eden replied. "Your sister's the one with the prissy cheerleader girlfriend, right? I know these things" she said, watching Tatum inspect the weed. If Toni had given her shit she was going to pay.

"I don't really drink it either" she shrugged, loitering outside of the gathering, music drifting out. A girl appeared in skyscraper heels, her hair teased impossibly high and her skirt impossibly short. She spoke to Eden in a thick New York accent, nodding a hello at Tatum. In her bag there were two bottles of red wine which Eden passed to the red head, Toni waving and getting back to the action. "That's my cousin" Eden explained, looking around. "To the woods?"

"I guess i-it doesn't have to be a party," Tatum muttered, still following obediently. "Y-Yeah sort of? T-They're both.. c-cheerleaders. S-Sera is much m-more prissy.. Jenny d-does love that stupid H-Head Girl badge though. Sera probably thinks its s-sexy," she murmured, shuddering at the thought.

She stood awkwardly a few paces behind Eden as they waited for Toni, managing to wave meekly once at the older girl. When she was gone again, leaving Tatum balancing the two bottles and her joint, she nodded. "I-I guess so.. really nowhere else to go s-since you're like, twelve and a half."

"Who would find that sexy" Eden sneered. She hated cheerleaders. Almost as much as she hated most of the quodpot team. Dani was fine but her cousin was a real pain in the ass.

Grabbing a bottle off Tatum she waved it in front of her face. "Stupid school can't even afford real wine. These are all screw tops! What's the fun in wine if no one's going to risk taking their eye out with a corkscrew" she rambled. "I'm fifteen" Eden growled. "Next year I'll be a junior and everything!"

"Just m-my sister.. Head Girl is like, her life goal. O-One of them anyway," Tatum murmured. "It rIreally makes me look bad! She's a p-prefect and everything now and my mom j-just kept saying how she's the first like, I could have.. b-been one of those. If I wanted."

She always got a little carried away when someone brought up Sera, their sibling rivalry shining through every single time. Tatum eventually trailed off though, smiling weakly as Eden ranted about the bottles. "I-Its just gunna be gross either way," she reminded her.

"Oh a junior? I'll only be like, a s-sophomore. In college," she replied, rather deadpan. It was weird, and guiltily sort of fun, to hang out with someone who was more of a shrimp than her. Even if not by much. "Junior year is shit a-anyway," she warned her, dragging on her barely still lit joint.
