Julian alternated between smoking and eating and pulled a face as Tatum asked him that question. "I guess so" he said apprehensively, leaning back and taking off his sunglasses seriously.

"Shoot."

"D-Don't give me that look," Tatum replied quickly, feeling a little bit embarrassed about asking now. But if she couldn't ask Julian, she'd need to ask someone closer to the situation. "You just know a lot about gi-- fucking around with.. people."

Trailing off for a moment, the redhead exhaled gently. "S-Say a girl liked you but you weren't really into her, how would you get rid of her? If being rude already wasn't working?"

Julian grinned slightly, looking bemused. "Why would I ever not be into a girl?" Deciding Tatum probably wouldn't appreciate him joking around, she was pretty touchy about this subject, he thought long and hard.

"I usually just tell them I'm not into it. And suffer the slaps. Why wouldn't being rude work?"

It was hard to explain the situation without letting out too many details that she didn't want to mention, and so Tatum simply chewed her lip a little instead. "It's a long story, she just-- the p-person is question is just.. very pigheaded, n-not my type," the redhead tried to express, as if she wasn't being equally pig-headed.

"It doesn't matter, I-I guess. It'll pass."

Julian shifted a little uncomfortably and let out a perplexed noise. "You could always try violence? She- They wont expect that."

"No, that's p-probably true," she agreed slowly. She took a moment to think on it before frowning again. "I don't know if it would work though, I-- I-I never really hit somebody before.."

Jules couldn't understand never hitting someone before. The whole concept was alien to him, it was in his nature. "What do you mean you've never hit anyone? In junior year I hit my roommate so hard he swallowed a tooth! It took the nurse three hours to find it in his belly. And that was just because he touched my guitar.." He frowned and shook his head.

Tatum stared blankly at the older boy, slowly raising one of her eyebrows. "N-Never hit anyone as in.. never hit anyone? I mean, like.. Sera, but that doesn't r-really count. I've never fought somebody," she explained, getting a bit flustered even at the thought. She had been bullied a fair bit over the years, but fighting back was never really her instinct.

"P-Playing dead is more my style?"
