Rath had always hated formal gatherings, it was just a part of who he was. He preferred laid back gatherings with weed and beers but Madeline was never one for that sort of activity. Speaking of Madeline... he didn't know how to be around her anymore. He was exceptionally proud of her for leaving their father and he loved her to death, she had to be the most wonderful step mother of all time and she had always been there for him and Tatum. He just felt awkward knowing everything he knew. It was also a pain in the ass to be in the presence of other adults because they were always asking what he was going to do after graduation or what he was doing at the moment. It was a pain in the ass because he had no long term plans, he just wanted to bake food and smoke weed, which was a great conversation starter when he was talking to his little sister's girlfriend's parents.

Then inevitably... they would ask about any lovely ladies that had caught his attention. Why the fuck did they always have to bring that up? He couldn't talk about his involvement in a love triangle with his best friend and his girlfriend. He also couldn't talk about how they lived in France and the only way he had been able to see them lately was on skype. Awkward.

He thought he wanted to be alone so he hustled out behind University house to smoke but before long he realized he didn't want to be alone. He walked over to Quirank, predicting one of those girls would be out there having a nervous cigarette before the firing squad. They all thought they were so coy but Rath was on to them. Sure enough, Jenny popped out just as he was settling against the wall.

Rath smirked at her reaction then lit his joint. "Hell yeah I'm sneaking in a joint," he laughed. "I couldn't stand in front of them without it," he admitted. "It's gonna be so fuckin' weird," he hooked an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into a half hug. "Congrats by the way future little sis," he teased. "Graduating and everything. Are you ready for this monstrosity of a dinner?"
