Dakota's Point of View

I grabbed the last box out of my Dad's car, "I'm gonna miss you mija!" He beamed pulling me into an awkward hug since I was still holding a box.

"I'm gonna miss you too," I smiled.

"You sure you don't need help unpacking anything?" He asked as she held my shoulders.

"I'm sure," I had to keep reassuring him that I'd be alright.

He hugged me one last time, "You better text and call your brothers, they're gonna miss you a lot." And I nodded before he got in his car, and driving off, far from Oregon to my home in Seattle, Washington.

I carried the last box to my dorm. I sighed, I already missed my brothers, Sean and Daniel. I never thought I'd be missing them this much.

I placed the box on my bed and began unpacking. I started with my clothes. After unpacking two boxes worth of all my clothes, I lied back on my bed, tired. Maybe I should check out around Blackwell? It was only nine o'clock.

I left the dormitories and began walking towards the school itself. Once I walked in, I saw a girl with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Hey, you're new aren't you?" She asked.

"Yeah," I nodded my head.

"I'm Amelie Prescott," She said. "I can help you find your classes if you need. It's Monday. Do you have any classes today?."

"Sure yeah," I nodded. "I think I need to get my schedule from Principal Wells though. But I don't remember having any classes today, I think today is just for me to settle in a bit."

"Here, when you walk through this main entrance, take the door on your right, there's secretaries in there. Ask them for your schedule. Trust me if you don't have to talk to Wells, just don't."

"Alright," I smiled. "By the way I'm Dakota Diaz."

"Dakota.." She said slowly listening to my name. "Cute! Get your schedule then I'll show you around a bit."

I went into the main building, then in the room on my right.

"Hi my name is Dakota Diaz," I started. "I'm new and need my schedule."

Just as I said that, the door opened labeled Principal flung open and out came an angry boy with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked so similar to Amelie.

"Nathan get back in here!" Someone yelled from in the room, who I'm assuming is Principal Wells.

"Hey you," Nathan said coming up to me. "You're the new girl?" I nodded my head. "Get the fuck out this shithole while you can." Then he stormed past me and out the room.

The principal stood in the doorframe, "Sorry about him," Principal Wells apologized.

I shrugged, "Well if anything, this will be quite the story time for my little brothers back at home."

Principal Wells laughed, "Nice to meet you Dakota Diaz. I hate that it has to be under very odd circumstances. Blackwell normally doesn't have this much chaos. I hope you can put this aside and won't allow it to form such an opinion on your young impressionable self."

"Trust me, no judgement coming from here," I smiled.

The secretary at the desk handed me my schedule, "Here you are," She said.

"I can set someone up to give you a tour and show you around if you aren't too busy," Principal Wells offered.

"I already have someone," I said kindly while Wells fashioned a confused look on his face. "Amelie Prescott."
