Tatum had still been staring somewhat listlessly out toward the forest, wondering mostly if the thing from her room at teeth. Or if it was supposed to. Maybe there was a whole bunch of creepy creatures out there with big teeth and sharp claws.. she hadn't really been taking any of those seriously until the other night. It had just been regular school, but now it felt like an episode of Scooby Doo or something. Except she didn't think there were any masks.

When Mackenzie leaned over her and spoke, it gave her a start and the younger girl let out a squeak, briefly almost falling off of the rock she was sitting on. She steadied herself, glad she hadn't dropped her joint at least. Once she had herself composed again, Tatum turned to look at the blonde, pouting at her with slightly flushed cheeks. "Fuck off, not even funny," she replied, scooting over on the rock to make room for Mackenzie despite being a little irritated with her. "You almost made me throw up my heart," she admitted, shaking her head.

She couldn't really argue with the presence of her friend. Friends like Mackenzie were good to have, they made her feel safe. She might have been a little rough around the edges, but Mackenzie wasn't like the other athletic girls. She was really nice, underneath all of that flirting and silliness. Even when she made Tatum blush so hard that her face and hair began to match, she liked having her around.
