It was hard to stay stern with Sera glowering down at her like that, taking full advantage and then some of the slight height advantage. But Tatum did her best, glaring right back up at her as she spoke. "You're n-not doing this for mom or dad, you're doing it b-because I'm a joke to you, you w-want me to be miserable," she hissed.
Sera had a couple of points though. First of all, Mack could have stayed at school and done whatever she wanted with any random girl. Secondly, Tatum hated to admit it, but she didn't entirely despise Mack. She despised the situations the other put her in, and the ways Sera tried to push them together at every turn, just like this. Then when Mack started acting like she was the baddest bitch in the room, as she tended to do around groups of other people, the redhead could never hold in her temper. It was an endless cycle.
"It's not a date day for me. I'm only here for the apples and nothing else, absolutely nothing else," the older girl finally relented, glancing behind her at the other four in their group. She was glad they weren't waiting around for them, it made bickering a lot easier. When Sera put the hand on her shoulder, the redhead shrugged it off, and stared at the taller girl.
"Only if you owe me.. you owe me big," she whispered quickly, sighing.
