"I'll be sure to hold you to that," Mack replied, giving her a small grin back. She usually didn't like to let other people handle her business, but unless she wanted to be arrested for assaulting a minor, she felt like letting Dani handle the situation was a good idea.

Mackenzie couldn't help but smirk a little at Dani's answer. At a different time in her life it would have been a useful bit of information. She probably would have been trying to charm her way into the girl's pants by now. Dani was good looking, and her rough and tumble attitude was something the blonde really liked. Things were different now though, Mackenzie had Tatum. Or, at least she hoped she still had Tatum.

Flopping back and looking up at the sky, Mack took a moment to think about what she really wanted to ask the younger girl. "Do you think I'm being selfish for wanting to do the watch even if the girl I'm with doesn't want me to?" She asked finally, taking a drag from her cigarette. "She's just worried about my well being, but I'm going to school to do this with my life. It's whats expected of me as a second year in the program. I want to protect my home and the people I care about. But do I back down because she asks me to?"

"Nah," Dani said honestly. "My ma asked me not to sign up too," she shrugged. "It aint selfish cause it's the right thing to do. We wanna protect our home and the people we love, we should be able to and the school is letting us have the opportunity," she reasoned.

"It y'all were to back down, even just this one time, it's not bein' true to you. You're gonna do this with your life so she's gotta get used to it. I know she's a nervous lil' thing, but she's gonna have to deal with the fact that you aint one to sit around when your home's in danger," she leaned back on her palms, and looked at the older girl thoughtfully.

"I'm worried, but... I'd be more worried if I didn' know there were more people like us out there fightin' it."
