"It's not gonna be that weird," Jenny insisted, leaning lazily into the arm he had around her shoulders. She took a drag from her cigarette, turning her head to exhale. "It could be much worse, I mean.. Hendrix's dad is a little rude, but everybody seems to be getting along, right? I'm just glad that ceremony is over," she admitted. She had been excited and well-prepared for it, but it was like a weight lifted off of her shoulders. It hadn't been an easy year to be Headgirl, and she was sort of looking forward to passing the title on. Mysterious things happening that she couldn't do anything about while she was in office hadn't been part of her plan.

"Either way, thank you.. and I'm as ready as I'm going to get. I'll have to charm the smell off of myself before we go, mom could pick it off of me in a crowd no problem. And if I get a smoking lecture during dinner, then I'm not ready for that," she laughed. She really had meant to quit, they both had almost as soon as they got back together, but it just hadn't quite happened yet. Having Meka and Tatum around to bum off of hadn't helped much, but she couldn't blame them. "What about you? You're okay.. with your mom and everything? She has been really supportive about this whole thing," the blonde asked a little cautiously.

Especially when all the adults start asking where my girlfriend is," he said with a grin. "Hey, you did alright kid, the best speech I've head at a graduation in a long time. I don't even remember who gave the speech at my own graduation," he admitted after taking a drag from his joint. If he was being entirely honest though, he would have admitted to how much pot he and Tatum had smoked before their graduation from the academy.

"If they don't know I smoke by now, they're helplessly unaware," he laughed. He had tried to cover it up while he was in the academy but things changed when he shipped off to Paris. He stopped hiding himself and hiding the things that he did despite how much his parents disapproved.

"I'm super proud of Madeline... mom," he corrected himself. He had been doing ti all his life. "After everything with Tate and Sera she was there but it took her so long and I was so mad at her for the longest time," he shook his head. "But I wasn't just mad at her, turns out I was mad at myself for not doing anything to help." It was the most honest thing he had said at all about the whole situation.
