For one reason or another, Jade doesn't like giving Charlotte too much credit. "I guess it wasn't actively stupid." She shrugs, not willing to really go beyond that. But then she pauses, watching Ari lean forward and mirroring the action. She's not that cold, but it seems right to be on the same level. She remembers Essie and how miserable she probably was without her own best friend there. Jade's drunk enough to look directly at the ground and speak a truth. "I wouldn't let you go back there. I've never blackmailed a whole school, but I could."
