Mackenzie had spent the last two hours nervously getting. ready to join Tatum at the dance. She couldn't remember a time when she had really cared about how she looked for a date. Not being sure what Tatum would like, she picked a blackdress that she figured at the very least would make her legs look awesome. She had made her way down to the hall at about a quarter to midnight, fiddling nervously with the bouquet of flowers that she had decided on bringing. She hoped it wouldn't be too much, she didn't want to embarrass either of them. Showing up to the dance was already enough to make people talk, Mackenzie Dubinsky rarely showed up to dances, let alone with a date.

Checking her phone, she realized that she was at least ten minutes early, and decided to have one last cigarette to calm her nerves before she went in. Making her way over to where she saw other people smoking, she suddenly recognize a familiar head of red hair and felt her heart skip a beat. Mack couldn't even come up with words to describe how she felt as she looked at Tatum, only that she was sure that if it was possible that her jaw would have been on the floor. It was now or never, she figured, Tatum would look up eventually from her search through her bag and then she would see her standing there like an idiot.

Putting on what she hoped was a confident smile, she made her way over to the smaller girl and held out her own cigarette case. "Care for a cigarette beautiful?" She drawled, grinning cheekily before offering out the flowers. "There were supposed to be for a friend, but I think I'd rather give them to you."
