It felt a little weird to Tatum that she had been back for such a short time at school, and she was already getting ready to go to a party. Single life had been so different; they partied, she stayed home. But now, she often found herself almost excited for parties, for getting ready, picking the right outfit, and going out with Frankie for the night. It was pretty much better than staying in and playing WoW for the entire evening.

Tonight was an even better event, since it was Charlie's birthday; not only was it guaranteed to be crazy, but going to his party was less taxing on her than any other party. She knew Charlie, at least on a need-to-know basis, and that made it so much less stressful. She had visited him a couple of days before, getting everything she needed for the night.

She and Frankie had arrived around eight, and mingled around slightly. Tatum had tried a little bit of the hard lemonade she brought, and had already gone through two cups of it before nine came around. She was content though, a little buzzed, and just enjoying herself. She saw a few people close by that she recognized, but decided she had other plans in mind.

Pulling Frankie's hand gently, she pulled her girlfriend off to the side a bit, away from where most of the party goers were clustered. It was closer to the edge, shaded under some shorter trees, and Tatum ducked just a bit as they moved further back from the crowd. "I got something special for tonight," she informed the brunette finally, grinning at her. "Better than the blackberry kush even," she added, giving Frankie's side a little poke, always enjoying teasing her, but especially so when they had been drinking.
