"Ouch," Tatum replied not unsympathetically as she watched her sister carefully settling down onto the bed. She returned her attention to the joint, licking the sticky portion of the paper and quickly finishing it up. "Why couldn't Charlie be your boyfriend? Do you think I'd get free weed?" she joked, trying somewhat to lighten the mood.

She shrugged when Sera mentioned herself and Frankie. "We're good, I mean.. we're normal. I just don't know if I'm ready for another dance, the last one was such a fucking disaster.. I just didn't bring it up, neither did she. I assume she's not going either, she didn't ask me and it's like.. choice of the ladies. And she's a lady, and she didn't ask. I can't go to Sadie Hawkins solo," she explained. "No offense," she quickly added.

"I'm not sure, why don't you date him and find out? I mean other then that he's a guy it's pretty much perfect. You'd get free weed, he couldn't be Jenny's go to guy anymore." Sera grinned.

"So you two didn't talk about the dance at all?.. Maybe she didn't ask you cause she was waiting for you to ask?" Sera paused for a second, grinning once again. It was much easier to talk about Tatum's problems then her own. "I really don't wanna go solo either, that's the problem though cause I told Jenny I'd be there and that I was cool with her and Charlie going and were supposed to hang out after, but now I don't know if I can deal with that." Sera rambled on, perhaps a little more than she would have liked to.

"I'm not sure perfect is really the word I'd use," Tatum replied, head shaking. "Anybody who works on their own car always have those really rough hands.. like, working hands.. no thanks. Going from soft girl hands to that, I'd probably drop dead," she explained, placing the joint between her lips and reaching for her wand.

Casting a few quick charms on the room to keep the smell and such to a minimum, she lit up and took a deep inhale, exhaling bright red smoke a few seconds later. "How cool is that? I learned that in charms.. well, sort of. I modified it a bit."

Listening as Sera rambled on, Tatum nodded a little but stayed reclined in her chair, feet up on the edge of the desk now. "You know, I think I see your plan now.. you thought I was going and you were going to tag along with me? What if I had plans or something?" she suggested idly, raising an eyebrow. "Anyway, I'm not going. You can take those shoes off and stay here and get stoned with me instead," she offered, leaning forward just a bit to hold out the joint.

"Yeah, eww. Rough hands are pretty gross. I bet Jenny made him moisturize." Sera laughed, leaning back a little on her hands, "She probably still does actually."

"Girls do have way nicer hands though." She finally agreed, watching Tatum reach for her wand she wondered what she was up to.

She looked at her sister as she exhaled the red smoke. She rolled her eyes with an over-exaggerated look of disgust. Weed probably wasn't even as bad as she liked to act, at least not in controlled moderation, it was usually more about giving Tatum a hard time. "Do you really think that's the most useful way to apply what you learn in Charms class?" Sera almost sighed, crossing her arms in front of her her. She'd never admit it but she knew she could be a total hypocrite, she kinda liked sneaking a smoke with Tatum once and a while.

Even still Sera rolled her eyes again, She knew Tatum wasn't even listening to her anymore. She pulled her legs up on to the bed and crossed them. "That's not true, I just wanted to see if you were going. And maybe staling till the whole pretending to be straight act is over with Charlie. I told her I was cool with it I can't just show up in a piss now." Sera huffed, shrugging her shoulders, she tried to pretend like she didn't even hear Tatum's offer.

"I think it was pretty useful," Tatum agreed, raising her eyebrows at her sister as she held the joint out still. "Anyway, that's assuming it is an act," she joked, taking another quick hit before holding it out again.

"This way you'll also be really relaxed when you see her later," she added.

"It's an act, she's just not ready for everyone to know that's all? Why do you always have to pick on Jenny? How exactly are you so sure Frankie isn't just pretending?" Sera huffed, starring at her sister. "She's not gay, maybe she does like Charlie, I don't know but she's not straight."

Sera reached for the joint almost without even realizing. She paused before taking a puff and considered just handing it back. "I can't go to the dance if I'm high, my eyes are going to get all bloodshot and I'll die if I get caught." She scrunched her face up slightly as the smoke blow up in her face.

"I kind of want to." Sera admitted, "but we have to go to the dance, "I told Jenny I'd be there and what if Frankie's waiting for you?" \\

"I was kidding, keep your dress on for fuck's sake!" Tatum replied quickly, hands shooting upward into a defensive warding off motion. "Sorry I made fun of your true love," she huffed back, sticking her tongue out briefly.

She rolled her eyes at Sera's protests. "Visine, dude. Not to mention that I'm sure there has to be a spell for it.. how do you think I keep my room from getting busted all the time? I'll hook you up, no one will know you're spaced but you," she suggested absently. She didn't really try to disguise her own highness in public, but she did always make sure to charm the hell out of her dorm. There was no other way to disguise the smell or smoke wafting around. Waving her hand a little, she urged Sera to hurry it up and either puff or pass.

"Frankie isn't waiting for me.. I don't think. I dunno. You can go whenever you're done, not like it's over early," Tatum said, leaning back some in her chair. "I'm glad to see your priorities are straight.. ditching me to go with your girlfriend," she sighed dramatically, laughing some.

"You're so ridiculous sometimes a professional stoner at 17, that's quite the accomplish Tatum." Sera laughed, finally pulling the joint to her lips and inhaling deeply, only having to cough once or twice this time. It had only been a couple times but she found she was getting used to it. Which grossed her out almost as much as the taste had.

After exhaling the one and only puff she took she passed the joint back towards Tatum. "That's the thing I don't wanna be spaced out. Well not too spaced out anyway." She giggled a little at herself, already starting to feel herself relax. She still wasn't that use to it, after all.

"I'm not ditching you I came to ask you to come with me, but either way I told her I'd be that at some point, so sorry I can't stay here and get baked all night. If that's what you were hoping, you probably just want me to do it so you can tell mom and dad or something anyways." Sera huffed a little, watching Tatum take her turn with the joint.

"Why would I tell mom and dad? I don't even want to bring up weed to them. As far as they know, I don't even know what it smells like, and I like them thinking that. I only ever really tell on you if you tell on me cause fair is fair.. and we both know you always have, and always will be, the biggest tattletale in the country," Tatum scoffed, rolling her eyes as she took the joint back and inhaled sharply on it. "I'm just trying to help you cheer up because your girlfriend is out dancing with a.. handsome vegabond."

Slumping further against her chair, Tatum's head tilted back and she exhaled toward the ceiling before puffing again. "I really don't wanna go, dude. Mom didn't even send a dress or anything because I never told her it was happening.. neither did you, I guess, or she would have sent one. I dunno. I'm all wigged out about dances and shit now.. I didn't even really talk to Frankie about it. I dunno if she's going," she muttered.

Leaning forward to hold the joint back out to her sister, Tatum looked her over seriously. "You look cute. You should have like, asked Apple or somebody and just rocked it. You could take a boy, too."
