Just To Hang Out

[Devyn Solway]

Just play it off like it’s no big deal. You are just asking her out to get a drink with you. It’s not like you are asking to actually go out with her. Even if that would be pretty hot and a new high for the oldest women you ever gone out with. Devyn thought to herself as she headed towards Tamara’s office. It had been a while since she had talked to the women about keeping an eye on her in case she lost control again. While there had been times where it had been shaky, she had managed to keep it together for the most part.

Her old ways slipping back in but she felt like she was new and improved on some levels. Not sleeping around still but she was no longer keeping herself on lockdown. That did not mean that she was thinking of like trying to score with Tamara. Sure it would have been nice, but Devyn could already tell the older women was way out of her league so she was not going to even try and try to gain access to that. That did not mean she could not ask her to join her to get a drink and just to talk. Devyn didn’t actually even know what they could even talk about but she was already outside Tamara’s office door.

She figured it was too late to go back now. So after taking a deep breath to remind herself that she just had to play it simple so Tamara would not really think anything was up and that Devyn just really wanted to hang out. Sure some might have found it odd to hang out with an older crowd but Devyn had been doing it most of her life. She found little interest with those that were younger than her and wanted to be among the adults. “Miss Tamara, you in?” Devyn asked as she gave a good solid knock on the door.

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara wasn’t sure what she found the oddest, students telling her she was hot or students not telling her she was hot. There was something a little creepy about those kids acting as if she lived in their fantasies. She had to take care of them but clearly not in that way. She always put them back at their place should they say anything or stare at some parts of her anatomy they should not be staring at. Her job was at stake, she didn’t intend to ruin everything because some college boys dreamed of an older woman teaching him how to please her. On the other hand, it was a nice stroke to her ego to see she was still a bombshell. She was a mother, she had a lot of attitude and she dealt with kids all day, none of these things caused arousal. It was nice to see she still had it, even though she couldn’t do anything about it with them. Anyway, sleeping with a student, even an adult one, would seem to strange in her mind. She didn’t need people to call her a cougar.

When she actually took the time to think about her love life, she thought it sucked. Going to bars and nightclubs for a potential one night stand, going for JJ when there was none, it was good for a time but there was something a little pathetic about it. She wouldn’t admit that she wished to have a man around, she was much too proud for this, but she wouldn’t be against something a little more stable. Mikael would come back to her at some point and even though he’d been a young teenage boy at that time, he could still use a father-like figure. And Tamara could definitely use a man to snuggle against at night.

She couldn’t do much about it though, so she flirted and drowned herself into work. It was better than to whine over the lack of interest there was in her life lately. Work was all she had left. Oh God, she was turning into Guy! They already said she was as grumpy. Now, she really needed to go out and find someone. Was it fate that had Devyn knock and call her out right at this moment? Tamara didn’t really believe in it but she welcomed the distraction. “Yes, of course, come in,” she answered as she looked at the girl. She had kept an eye on her, as promised. Nothing major happened and she was glad of it but it also had her wonder why Devyn was here if things were getting better. “What can I do for you?”

[Devyn Solway]

Tamara said that Devyn could come in and after a moment of hesitation Devyn opened the door and peeked her head in. She looked around the room for a moment before her eyes landed upon Tamara and of course admiring the view. I really need some more male friends. Devyn thought to herself for a moment. She really did feel like sometimes she was leaning a little too far on the homosexual side then she liked. Yes, she liked both genders so in the end it didn’t really matter but she was not a Pansexual. Gender did matter to her when it came to other people and she did want some verity every now again. Her luck had always been better with girls, so she figured she would just accept it like she always did.

Devyn had been doing well and as far as she knew she had not done anything to worry or cause Tamara any concern. She had not harmed anyone or anything that last time she lost control and it had been a while since she lost control. She had tried to talk to Zoe and really was not thinking about how that went. There was also the fact that Raegan was back and the two of them had certain interactions and again Devyn was trying not to think about that. She just wanted to hang out with someone, someone older and since Guy had been busy and scares in the recent weeks, she figured the next person she had a close ‘relationship’ with was Tamara. There was Jason but Devyn felt like he was more of Zoe’s person then her person.

Devyn could not help but to snicker slightly before clearing her throat and getting her mind out of the gutter after Tamara’s question. “I was wondering if you would be up for taking a moment from your busy adult staff stuff to come get a drink with me.” Devyn said as she rubbed at her father’s ring that she was wearing on her thumb for a moment. “It can be coffee, tea, or even alcoholic if you want.” Devyn said, as her voice dropped off towards the end. She was not sure if Tamara was one of those staff members that would give her a hard time about having a fake ID and drinking.

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara was ready to say she heard and saw a lot of things in the five years she worked here at Bellefonte. Often, she had to remind herself they were only teenagers. Some of their behaviour made it clear, like, for example, when she had to remind someone that staring was impolite and staring at certain parts of her anatomy would only result in embarrassing the kid further. But it was hard sometimes to think they were in a regular school when one could flood en entire corridor because he was upset or a girl could break things with her shadow because of a bad breakup. This filled her work with lots of unexpected events and, even though it made it more interesting and perhaps a reason why she had not changed of job yet, she wasn’t sure if she loved it or not.

Tamara had a light frown as she could almost bet she saw Devyn smirking and she couldn’t quite get why. Of course, whatever reason it was for meant very little after what the girl asked. “A drink?” Alright, she’ll admit it, she didn’t think she got that before, at least not here. If she did, she turned that person down with enough strength to understand they better not try to humiliate themselves further. She sure didn't think she was asked for a drink by a girl before. Not that she didn’t think she was hot enough to attract girls. Tamara considered herself to be a bombshell.

Of course, the odd thing about it that made the woman blink and stare in front of her for a few seconds was the fact it was a student who asked this. Another member of the staff, she probably would have said yes straight away or ask them if they could wait for her day to be over. But Devyn was a student and she believed the rules to be pretty clear about this. She did get the alcohol part and it seemed to bring her back here. “And how old are you again?” she asked, making it clear here that she doubted the girl was in age to drink anything with alcohol in it.

She did think about turning Devyn down, point out she should ask someone her age instead but she didn’t. Not yet. “Is there any particular reason why you want a drink? With me, no less.” Tamara wondered if the girl felt down again. Guy did ask Tam to check up on her and if she felt the need to talk, she figured she should at least listen to her. If all she got was a teenage girl hitting on her, she would then put Devyn back at her place.

[Devyn Solway]

"Yup, a drink. You, me, and something hot or cold. I 'm thinking something cold for myself." Devyn added after Tamara's question. She figured the question was more so Tamara repeating back Devyn's question to make sure she heard right. It was probably odd to be asked out to get a drink by a student. Or that it was so common that Tamara was possibly thinking about what Devyn's angle was behind it all. She probably gets out a lot by the male students, probably shocking her for being the first female or something. Devyn thought to herself as she scratched at her head a little.

She really didn't want Tamara to over think or try and to look into any of this, Devyn just wanted to hang out with someone older and that she didn't have any drama with. Devyn let out a slight chuckle at Tamara's question. Damn, she is one of those types. Devyn thought to herself, but she was not going to lie. "Well that depends on who you ask but as for the years I have been alive, that would be seventeen." Devyn admitted as she gave Tamara and innocent grin of sorts. Devyn had been drinking and having her kind of fun since she was fourteen years old but Tamara didn't really need to know that.

"I'll be eighteen soon if that makes things a little better." Devyn added and left out the whole having a fake ID thing. She was sure Tamara could assume as much and even if the older women took Devyn's fake ID, she would still be able to get drinks. She had older friends that could easily hook her up. There was the real question that Devyn had expected from the start, and of course she had an answer for it. "I get along better with people who are older than me and I just wanted to hang out with someone who I didn't have any sort of drama with. We don't even have to talk or anything, but I just wanted to get off campus for a little." Devyn said with a small nervous chuckle there. She was slightly embarrassed to half admit what she was basically getting at.

"Plus I figure you could use a break from your work and it be my way of paying you back for having to watch me and what not.” Devyn said and while there was still more to it, of course she was not going to say it. One could not simply add that it was also because someone was pretty attractive and it never hurt to hang out with someone as good looking as Tamara.

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara wasn’t sure what she should do in this situation. Something told her she probably should turn Devyn down, explaining that staff and student were not supposed to interact in that way but she simply asked for a drink and not even in a flirtatious way. Not to add that Tamara still wondered if the girl did not ask her for a drink just so they could talk. Again, she felt like she should refer her to the school’s councillor or psychologist but, at the same time, Devyn asked her, she didn’t go to them. It meant that, in some way, she trusted the dorm monitor. They had a rapport or at least the beginning of one. It was something Tamara never tried to get with students but that still seemed to be happening since she had Devyn in front of her instead of someone more competent to help her out.

She was still debating on the ethic of this, hoping she had someone else with her who could tell her what was the best course of action she should take. She stared at Devyn when she said she was seventeen. She believed her and not only because it would be really easy to pick up her file and read it but mostly because, if she were to lie, she should have gone at least for eighteen, despite the fact that she still wouldn’t be allowed to drink. Tamra thought for a moment that she might own a fake ID and probably check her but she was not doing it. Not yet. She had other things on her mind. “I’m not really interested in doing anything with you that would require you to be at least eighteen. I hope it is the same for you,” she pointed out as Devyn said she would soon be eighteen. It was irrelevant to Tamara, the girl would always remain in the no-touching zone.

Just to make it more difficult on Tamara, she explained she wanted to talk without any drama being involved. Well, at least that meant she was not expecting anything from this. Tam figured she could relax on that part, even accept since nothing would happen other than she allowing a student to breathe a little outside of campus. She was still thinking this when she added she wanted to repay her. It made her smile. “Devyn, it’s my job, you don’t have to repay me for anything. A thank you will be more than I usually get,” she pointed out. She still looked around, as if she was waiting for someone to give her something else to do if she shouldn’t go for it. But no one came and Tamara breathed out heavily. “Alright. One drink. I take you out so you can breathe some fresh air a little, maybe talk but we’re back before I have to check the dorms. And Devyn... don’t give me a reason to check your room for a fake ID or illegal substances, you understand?”

[Devyn Solway]

Even if Tamara told her to go talk to a counselor or anything along those lines, Devyn would not do it. She didn't really like talking about her problems and didn't even plan on bringing them up with Tamara. If anything she wanted to hear about if Tamara was having any problems or what was up with her and what not. Devyn honestly wanted to just have someone to talk to, to be around that she didn't have any drama with and who would talk to her about well anything. Well Tamara was already giving away that she was still suspicious of her intentions so she probably would not say much.

That just meant Devyn would have to work a little harder and making Tamara feel relaxed around her. She really didn't see any harm with going out to get some drinks with an adult. It was because of the small few that made everything so awkward and made teachers have to play it safe. The other staff should have known how Tamara was so there should not have been any worry. Then again, many knew how Devyn was so that might have been why Tamara looked as if she was trying to avoid saying yes. That did hurt a little, as if didn't want to be around Devyn, and Devyn hated getting that feeling from really anyone.

"Well, I did not plan on it but..." Devyn bit her tongue to stop herself from saying anything more on that subject. She had to tread carefully with Tamara. Her usual flirting and playful self was not going to be able to say anything right off the bat. She had to at least wait until Tamara would agree and they got there before she could let anything like that slip. She just nodded her head then, knowing that saying anything would risk saying something that would mess up everything. "I know it’s your job, but you still should be thanked in other ways. People forget to thank those who help them out. I don't feel like a simple thank you always cuts it...you know?" Devyn asked but it was more of a rhetorical question.

"Yes, thanks Tamara!" Devyn said as she did a fist pump when Tamara agreed to join her for a few drinks. Sure they were going to have to be drinks of the non-21 years and under kinds by that were alright with Devyn. Devyn was already heading to get out of the building, pausing at Tamara words, and a smirk appearing on her face. "Got it. Let me know if you do end up going to check my room so I can take the poster down of you." Devyn teased before face palming. "Crap, ignore that. I didn't say that. I was just kidding. Honest. Restart?" Devyn pleased, her hands together as if begging.

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara was about as private with her problems as was Devyn. She didn’t like going to what people referred to a ‘professional’. She might share them with friends, people she trusted, but she wouldn’t go to a stranger to tell them. She couldn’t see how a stranger was able to understand the situation better than a friend and so be more apt to help her. Then again, Tamara always preferred to solve her problems on her own, her friends only hearing when it proved difficult or when she needed to vent.

Relaxed, Tamara thought she was but she also believed there was a limit how relaxed she could be around students. It wasn’t always easy to deal with them. You had to be close enough for them to understand you were there for them but also distant enough so they wouldn’t think you were a friend and lose all authority you might have on them. Tam didn’t want Devyn to think she could just say or do anything in front of her, or say anything about her to others.

Tamara hoped she would not regret accepting this offer for a drink. She knew how she could be and how she would never allow a student to go too far, or herself for that matter, but she was also aware of the way she looked and how this might all sound to an outsider. She raised an eyebrow as Devyn talked. With an adult, she would have taking this with humour but, to her, Devyn was a child. She couldn’t allow herself to act the same way. “I suppose you’re right. And you are welcome,” she told Devyn as she insisted on thanking Tam. It was true she rarely had a thanks from the students, even when she did more than what she considered she did to Devyn.

Tamara couldn’t completely hide the amusement she had at the girl’s comment but she made an effort for it not to show too much. “I’ll let it slip this time. But if I’m doing this, it’s because I do think a change of scenery might be good for you. Don’t make me change my mind,” she warned the girl. Sorting everything she had been doing right now, she looked at Devyn. “I can take you to a coffee shop if that’s fine with you, unless you already had a place in mind,” she asked. She did think it might not sound too right if anyone was to get only this part of their conversation but Tamara was ready to dare anyone to make it sound bad for her without regretting it. She hoped, if Devyn thought of some place, that it would be something like a coffee shop or a fast food restaurant for she was ready to pay her a drink but there was a limit how much she was ready to spend.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn would not have been surprised to find out that Tamara was like her when it came to her problems. Tamara didn’t even need to tell her anything, they could have just talked about how it was getting cold and any approaching snow storms. Devyn just wanted an escape, to get off campus but to not be by herself. She did enjoy her solitude but in the past few months all she wanted was to be close to someone. Still, she did fully understand that Tamara was an adult and it was pretty much clear that Tamara just saw her as a kid. Devyn didn’t think she was just a kid, but she was not going to say anything about it.

“I like that you didn’t keep fighting me on the matter.” Devyn said with a small chuckle. She did not like it when she told someone that she felt the need and was going to pay them back, that they would tell her that it was not a big deal. It was a big deal to her and she didn’t like people to downplay what she viewed as important. Plus, Devyn knew that most people would just say thanks and leave it like that but what Tamara had done was important. Even if she had said words that Devyn didn’t want to hear, she had at least made an attempt, and made up for it all towards the end of their talk.

Devyn still needed more to actually feel better, but it was enough to give her a tiny push on putting on the act. Devyn was pretty sure that she saw a look in Tamara’s eyes that revealed that she did find what Devyn said a little amusing. That alone was enough to make Devyn feel good because that meant she still had it and that as expected, even those older than her were effected by her words. “Thank and you got it. I’ll be like a little angel.” Devyn said with a small smirk appearing on her face. She could not actually promise that she was going to be good, but she was going to try.

She was after all trying to pay Tamara back and she didn’t want the adult to avoid her because she was worried Devyn might try something. “I was thinking of a Coffee Shop. You know where Cool Beans is?” Devyn asked as she stated to already move out. She wanted to get going, get away, and just enjoy some fresh off campus air. Devyn had not gone to Cool Beans and a while, not sense Zoe broke up with her. Yet, she felt pathetic for avoiding a location for that reason so planned on going there no matter how she felt about it.

[Tamara Sulik]

Tamara could definitely relate to Devyn but it was not something she would easily tell the girl. She thought there was a boundary not to cross between the staff and the students. They had to see you were only human and could help but they shouldn’t see you as their friend otherwise it would prove hard to keep any form of authority on them. It was also why Tam thought they shouldn’t see too much of their weakness. She could be wrong but it was how she approached it. She understood this need of not being entirely alone. And she knew how it was easier sometimes to talk to someone who was not really a friend but not a total stranger either. It would be weird to talk of personal things with a stranger but their opinion didn’t matter as much as that of a close friend. Besides, as one who always felt the need to get out of her cage, she got Devyn might feel the same and wish to do so, if only for an hour or two.

She didn’t get why she would have fought with Devyn over this. She only thanked her after all. “Yes well, it is the polite thing to do, to thank someone and be grateful for their help, even though people seldom do it,” she pointed out. She was not going to correct a teenager who wanted to be civil, it was rare enough as it was. She would never ask much out of the girl, other than, perhaps, not cause too much trouble in the future, but she sure accepted her gratitude.

Somehow, Tamara doubted she would be a little angel. A little fallen one, maybe, and it wasn’t only because her name sounded more like devil than angel. “I can settle for not getting any of us in trouble,” she replied, a little amused smile on her face. She was indulgent with this girl, she really was. She told herself she had to be careful. She could see herself in Devyn and it could be dangerous.

“I know where it is,” she assured Devyn. Tam tried to get out of the school every time she could. Not that she disliked the place but there was something depressing about spending her days off at her working place, even though she also happened to reside there. “And I supposed you want it now,” she added, the question sounding more like a fact. She figured it should be fine to go for a little while. She still had plenty of time to come back before the curfew. Plus, she was not the only one working here, others could take over for once. With that in mind, she grabbed her keys and gestured for Devyn to leave the office while she scribbled down a brief note to explain where she went.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn really wanted to get away, just to get off campus but to be with someone that she at least liked in a way. It was easy for her to get off campus; it was not even a challenge to make sure that she was not followed by an adult. There were times that she did indeed get caught but for the most part she was able to get around things. She didn't want to just get off campus, she wanted to get off campus and hang out with someone. Even if it was as simple as just getting a quick drink with Tamara, she was happy with that.

"People either just forget their basic manners or don't understand how it is someone’s choice to go out of their way to help you." Devyn responded back as she slipped her hands into her pockets. It was easy for a person to ignore someone in need of help, even if they had a conscious, one could rationalize why it was okay to not help someone else out in whatever way they needed it at the time. So even with Tamara having done something small and simple and something that was part of her job, she could not have tried at all. So the fact that she did try was enough for Devyn to feel that she owed the women.

Devyn was going to try and be on her best behavior, but she honestly was not all that good at not being naughty in at least a few ways. "Awesome, I have a slightly bad reputation there so don't really think about it too much if people are looking at you a certain way." Devyn admitted, not wanting Tamara to join her and not be prepared to be eyed by the staff or any regulars. They probably still remembered her from her time with Zoe and then a few small incidents after that with other people. "I do. The sooner the better but if you have work I can wait." Devyn said as she looked around. She was fine finding a nice wall to lean against and just wait for Tamara to have a free moment.

Thankfully it seemed that Tamara was free now which had Devyn smiling a little bit more than she was when she first started talking to the women. At the gesture she did not hesitate to turn and leave, heading for the outside parking lot. "Do you drive or should I get a car to drive us. Or we could even get a cab." Devyn suggested as she walked backwards to talk and walk at the same time while facing Tamara.

[Tamara Sulik]

“I suppose you are right. Or they expect it to be their work. Either way, I’m glad I was able to help you, even if I did very little in the end,” she assured Devyn. It made her realise that she probably was in the ungrateful category. She rarely thanked others if they came to her, especially if they did when she didn’t ask or thought she needed any help. She could be thankful and say it to others, but she certainly would not think she owed them more than that. She preferred to think she was self-sufficient, even when she should admit she could use a little help.

She arched an eyebrow as the mention of a bad reputation. That a teenage girl could have a bad reputation was not odd at all for Tamara, she didn’t exactly when through school with a pristine one herself. She wondered however how bad it can be for people to actually think there might be something going on between the two of them, when Tamara was nearly twice her age. Not that she wanted to think that way, it made her feel old, but it was still a fact. “We’re only getting something to drink and let you get a change of air,” she reiterated. Tamara would not let anyone think more than this, including the girl.

“I think I can get a little break for now. We don’t have much work at this hour and we will be back before I have to check on the dorms,” she stated. It was as much a way to tell Devyn they could go now as it was a warning she better not make it an excuse to spend more time than necessary out. She was ready to give her the opportunity to get away for a short while from her burdens here at the school but she also had obligations she needed to attend later on.

“I have a car, I can drive us, it will be easier” she assured Devyn as they reached the parking lot. And with its bright blue color, it was hard to miss it. She wondered how Devyn planned on getting them a car, if she wanted them to get on someone else’s or something. She preferred not to think too much about it and moved to hers, expecting the girl to follow.

[Devyn Solway]

"Trying is what matters in the end. At least that was what my dad told me..." Devyn said, her voice trailing off towards the end. She almost said that her father was slightly wrong in the regard but she didn't want to think her father was wrong. She had tried and while it might not have mattered to those she had tried with, it mattered in some way. That she had tried and that alone should have been enough to cheer her up, but it was not.

Damn it, focus. Devyn mentally scolded herself. She kept trying to just ignore what was bothering her and moving on with life, but there was always something that reminded her of it all. Devyn still did her best to just smile and look ahead to what was going to come soon. The fact that Tamara said yes and that they were going to get to enjoy a drink off campus with one another, in a causal manner of course. Devyn did hope that for Tamara's sake that people didn't think that there was anything going on between her and Devyn. She didn't want to mess up someone’s reputation, but she knew that someone would probably think of it like that just because Tamara was around Devyn.

It made her feel bad and her mind drifted back to that dark place for a moment. "I know that, but you know how people like to think." Devyn spoke up, but left it at that then. "Awesome, promise I won't try and keep you long. If you have to go, just say so and don't even feel bad. I'm just happy for even a minute away." Devyn admitted, and while she wanted more than a minute, she could be satisfied for a minute. Tamara was already making a sacrifice to join Devyn so Devyn had to be willing to make a sacrifice as well. Tamara said she had a car so that made things a lot easier than in terms of travel.

"Cool. I could have gotten us a ride but I'm told I tend to drive a little too fast, so it's probably for the best that you drive." Devyn said as she headed to the parking lot with Tamara. She mainly followed the other women, since she didn't know what she drove or where she parked. Devyn was just thankful that she always carried a pair of shades on her, and quickly slipped them on once they were outside. The color of the car they were taking was bright and Devyn was pretty sure that if she had not been wearing shades, he eyes would probably be in pain right now.

"I didn't picture you driving something so bright." Devyn admitted, but she had no problem with the car itself. She was just making conversation as she waited for Tamara to unlock it so she could hop into the passenger seat.

[Tamara Sulik]

“Trying is good. It means you don’t dwell in inaction waiting for others to do it for you,” she replied as Devyn said it was something her father often told her. Of course, succeeding was better but at least trying meant you were ready to put some efforts into it. Then again, she knew a few things she’d wish students around here would decide not to try, only some of them involving her.

Tamara did wonder if some students might not talk. If it ever went to the ears of the administration, she would tell the truth. Devyn was not feeling so well lately, she had even been asked to keep an eye on her and figured going out might help change her mind. Nothing more was meant to happen but a drink and a conversation. They should be proud to see she could make an effort and care about the little troubles that affected the students. The fact it was Devyn who suggested the drink, that she meant to keep to herself. Again, it was not like she meant to do anything with the girl or even let her try.

“Well, I’ll be taking you back with me. If I have to run back to the school, it will be because of the curfew, unless there’s an emergency,” she pointed out to the girl. Of course, once she’ll have to check on the dorms, she won’t have Devyn around but they had quite some time before she’d have to think about that. Still, it was a certainty that she would drive Devyn back to school. She was not going to leave her in town, not even if the girl mentioned visiting it before. She didn’t intend to help a student break the rules.

Tamara nearly let out a surprised comment about the fact she could drive but she took it back before it ever was spoken. Of course, she might have her license, it was possible. If not... she preferred to think she had her license. She couldn’t help a smirk when Devyn said pretty much what anyone was likely to say when seeing her car. “To be honest, I picked the best car I could afford at the lowest price possible. I just never bothered repainting it, seemed like a waste,” she admitted. And on that note, she opened the doors for the two of them. “Feel free to choose whatever station you want,” she told the girl as she drove out of the parking lot towards town.

[Devyn Solway]

"Eh, I could argue that trying it bad. Very bad. Or...well that I try wrong." Devyn said with a small chuckle. It was more of a forced chuckle, the kind that came out when you were embarrassed about something but were trying to play it off. She had tried with Zoe, tried really hard but it had made things worse instead of better. In the end, she didn't even have the girl as a friend as she wanted but she didn't know what else to do anymore. Trying actually sucked and now she just wanted to forget about it and try something else.

So no, she was not done trying...she was just done fighting for what she wanted. No point in fighting if something did not want you back, right? Damn she was starting to feel that awful feeling creep back but she shook her head and focused on Tamara. Then that quickly became a bad idea so she went and focused on the drinks. Yes, just trying to think about getting drinks in a totally innocent manner. Still, she didn't want Tamara to get into any trouble or anything so she understood if Tamara wanted to back out at any moment. She would not hold it against her, not out loud at least.

"Right...thanks." Devyn said, smiling a little more. At least Tamara was not just going to up and leave her. She would still give Devyn a ride back to the school and was not just going to go running off unless there was an emergency. No one better have an emergency or they will really need some emergency help by the time I'm done with them. Devyn thought to herself. She took a deep breath when she actually felt anger build inside her for a moment at the thought. She really did need to get off the school grounds for a little at this rate. With them outside in the fresh air and getting into Tamara's car, Devyn could already feel herself calming down.

"Well, it's your car...but it offends the eyes." Devyn said with a small snicker. The car didn't look bad; it was just bright, way too bright. Devyn would never drive around something so bright, she probably crash in it if she was driving it or crash into it if she saw it on the streets. It seemed like the perfect car to blind people into getting into some accidents. Once in the car she didn't buckle up at first, but when Tamara spoke to her she did recall that this woman probably wanted her to follow rules and what not. "Uh, I don't think it's wise to let me pick. Song might end up being about hot sex, some screamo, or some depressing emo music." Devyn admitted, laughing a little bit. She listened to other things, but that was just what her current mood was into.
